I propose that from now on (using a click-through agreement of course) slashdot readers/posters must agree not to persecute slashdot in any court american or non american and that no material posted on slashdot is allowed to be used in any legal way to fight slashdot, it's owners, it's readers, it's posters, their friends, pets and whatever.
It's partly a joke, but so is M$'s EULA. So please give it a thought...

Anyone thought of this: Can Mentallica really proove that all those users were really shareing Mentallica files? Did they really download at least one file per user?
You'll get som errors, but I'm at work and don't have time to fix it...:) Still it works. When it's done: Share the files and wait for Mentallica's lawyers.

Re:Napster - You can pick servers!

You have to "jump" servers. If you are looking for something in particular you keep it in the search filed and Disconnect, Connect, Search. I've heard of something called "Napigator" that lets' you choose napster servers. The servers are also named things like "Metal" and so on. There's also a page on www.napster.com for unsigned bands to promote their music or you can also meet a lot of people offering their own music on the chat channels. The reason for me being unprecise is I'm at work and I don't have Napster installed here. At school though I have my Napster running and shareing..:-)
BTW, have you heard "Dr Dre featuring Metallica - Money, money money (Abba cover).mp3"?... j/k..;-P

Solving Chess?

· Score: 1
Whi is everybody being so negative? Have you no faith? A quote from the offered link:
Some experts in artificial intelligence think that a very large computer (larger than any in existence, but certainly smaller than a planet) may be able to solve chess by calculating for a few thousand years, maybe for hundreds of years
Doesn't that kind of sound like the IBM guy we all know about?..
I think there is a world market for maybe five computers.

I'd like to ask Ulrich in what way Napster is different than swapping tapes which was such a popular thing among 80's rock/metal-dudes (I think I had 2 Lp's 2 CD's and abot 50 tapes)... If he convinces me he was never involved in that I want to see the bridge he's selling too...

When I started listening to MetallicA the band I never thought that I one day would see: A shorthaired, styled, sideburnswearing James Hetfield play a solo acoustic version of whatthehell-that-country-ballad-was-called on swedish TV in the pause of the Miss Sweden Contest!.. I wasn't watching but my brother phoned and told me and was laughing hes head off.. I was not... I was more like in a shock... They were my top band but now... SCREW them!..:-)..

Dee Snider was at least one of the few to stand up against the stupid morons who were suing.. hmm.. was it Judas Priest?.. for having "subliminally affected through their music" a youngster who blew his head of with a gun...

And!... The orbit height of the electrons within an atom vary too! As far as I remember light, among others, is emmited when an "exited electron" (an electron with higher energy than normaly) falls down to its normal orbitlevel (height)... So Hubbards point still makes no sense..:) </MORE OT RANTING>

Ehh... He ment that an H atom with 1 electron and an H atom with 2 electrons are both H atoms.. They may behave somewhat differntly but they're still H and not, let's say, He atoms... Besides... The electrons orbit the nucleus of atoms larger than He in more than one orbit(ring) so I don't really see Hubbards point in "[atoms] having electron rings at a different distance"..:)

I agree that this is sponsoring! By going to the moovie we are giving the CoS lotsa bucks.. And Travolta too.. Who probably will use them to "enhance his knowledge" by buying more CoS stuff..
I'm going to see this movie BUT I'm not gonna pay for it!..:).. I'll wait for a pirate DVD/VCD/VHS-tape... I'd propose you all do!.. Afterall what's the point with complaining about CoS and then giving them money to go on screwing peoples minds!? And the fact that it's a good book or that the the writer was a good such or even that it may be a great moovie is not an exuse to sponsor the CoS...

I got a 50+ Mb file in the cache but it doesn't play as a.mov file.. Not in the QT-player nor embedded in the browser. The file can't be that much different from a real.mov file, now could it? Maybe some different encoding or sumthin... Any cool apps that fix this?
