Timothy and Cowboyneil aint so bad but they're spelling is horrid.
Understandably the ISP does need take action against the alleged user, and in a timely manner, because of the DMCA.
Instead of shutting down the users service completely, maybe a gentler approach would be wise,.. how about granting only outbound port 80 requests and blockoff anything incoming under 1024. This for all intents and purposes will shut down most users from doing anything 'normal'....
the Alleged infringer would still have net access but in a very restricted sense....
well the important part is that this box has never crashed. The uptime would be near 2 years if it weren't for hardware upgrades, kid. (You see I have a right to call you kid, since I am inevitably older than you are, take your arrogance and self righteousness elsewhere, kid.)
I wholeheartadly agree with you. Without the current socialised medical system here in Canada my father would have never had travel the united states for an operation, like many others; because we dont have the resources or talent for many life saving operations and technology.
I'm sure all the nurses leaving Canada to work in the states for twice the salary aren't shedding too many tears either.
My wife scheduled a yearly checkup seven weeks ago.. two more weeks and her appointment is set. Of course, if something happens and she misses it,.. well, wait another 3 months or go to the emergeny room.
The system here isnt perfect, its problems are chronicly self destructive. But thats what you get with a socialised medical system.
What gives SPIKE a chance against Bluetooth is pure economics. Bluetooth chipsets right now cost around $100, while SPIKE costs $6.25. In a couple years, experts tell us Bluetooth will cost only $5.00, but by then SPIKE will be down to a buck. Whatever SPIKE costs, Bluetooth will always cost mo.
Where does this $100 number come from ? This strikes me as a little strange, somehow I doubt this is true when intel will be selling quantities of 1000 i960 chipsets for $12, spike for $6.25, the list goes on.... this is number is bogus.
One day I was sitting back reading some email from my brother and couldn't help but notice the astronomical number of CC's he had placed on the email. Of course some of the recipients on that list were clever enough to start using those addresses on their own.
So I setup a mailing list and subscribed everyone to it. About 80% of the people replied and started using the system. "Joke of day" no longer needs to be carbon copied to 80 recipients anymore, making life easier for everybody.
This peer-2-peer mailing list network gathers about a meg of traffic/day on average. Trading pictures, mp3's, jokes, favourite links, etc is all common.
Of course I would prefer to see mailing list software outlawed because on occasion I've used it carpet bomb an entire list of people with illegally obtained mp3's. For the sake of justice and to preserve the rights of intellectual property rights holders, I demand this software be banished from the earth.
Although this wont generally apply to tech workers, it definitely does when your slaving away in some dark and dirty factory: SAFETY.
without the unions in place, BELIEVE ME WHEN I SAY THIS, companies will take every chance they get to cut costs at the expense of the employees health and safety.
One of the first jobs that i had back in 93 or 94 was at a grimy little sweat shop out in the county. The locals called it the Finger Factory, and for good reason. Many of the press machines were wore out and old. They needed to be replaced ASAP. But for years nothing was done as employees would have fingers crushed or in one case a guy lost his arm. Sweet eh:)
What did it take to replace the machines ? Well, the owners daughter was working there during the summer part time, thank god she lost two fingers because it probably saved a whole lot more in the long run.
I've seen this time after time after time, The Boss/Chief doesn't care about the grunts. Maybe its some sort of elitist pychology, plebians eat their dinner at 7 at night, we eat ours at 5, never any sooner or later.
Tech workers thank the lord dont have this burden on them, well, unless they get carpal tunnel or some other DEADLY disease caused by repetitive Quake sessions.
Unions protect the laziest workers, inspire mediocracy, and do a pretty good job of protecting workers health and safety. Not exactly what the tech industry needs.
BTW, in the aboved mentioned machine shop, just last year they formed a union with 98% backing of the workers. The Boss decided it was time to close up shop two days after the union came in.
I completely agree with you and completely disagree. Honestly, 90% of e"sites" should go the way of the dinosaurs.
Tonight I was reading a story on www.news.com about a larger e"site" called www.listen.com (why haven't I heard of any of these *Larger* sites before ?).. So I thought I would take a look at listen.com. Well, nothing really caught my attention, except that it seems like just any other e"business" site that I've been to before, ie. chokfull-o-links and small typeface lettering, a feeling of being overwhelmed and not really knowing where to go.
So anyways I click on "free" music link littered about somewhere in the page.. which takes me to another page, click on another link which will apparently give me "free" mp3 music,.. Well the third or fourth page is located at amazon.com.. Okay, so here is the link to the music, "CLICK"
"Access to the requested Liquid Audio media is restricted to certain countries."
Well thats fine and dandy after wading through four or five pages of recursive crap. So I go back to listen.com, click on "Free Carl Cox MP3" or whatever it is.. this is great, Carl Cox is the king of DJ's "Cant wait to get his latest mp3 !!" So after another couple of minutes chasing the carrot above my head I finally get a link to the music, in big bold letters "DOWNLOAD MP3" or some such shit (MP3 was highlighted in big bold blue letters)... So i download, here is what i get..
carlcox_phuture2000hybridremix.rmp
oh for christs sake! That is no more an mp3 is than a chihuahua is a doberman. I'd love to call my volkswagen a cadillac, sure both are cars, but for fucks sakeone is a rattling piece of shit on its last gasp of air, and the other is a well engineered automobile.
Frankly the experience was lousy, there is no value in listen.com, its misleading its users ontop of that, the lack of value I reiterate.
I hope listen.com goes bye-bye, it should, it deserves it, I hope its fate is approaching soon, bye bye bye bye bye bye.
Why should I plunk down an annual subscription of $40 or $50 to pay for a valueless site ? I want something in return just like an investor would expect some dividends from gambling on a stock, I'm looking for the same thing in a different form.
Napster? Sure I'd pay for it, You know I would.
BTW: Why is liquidaudio (wtf is it anyways) restricted from Canada ?
Fuck esites. Did I say I agree with you ? Actually I dont, Suck it.

"OOPS. Indian rocket slams into Pakistani capital, The casualties in the millions. AOL stock rises on news"
Here in Windsor Ontario @home once had a 15K/sec upload cap, but through the grace of god, it was upped to 45-50K/sec out of nowhere a few months ago. Well thats at least what gkrellm is reporting when people are stealing mp3s through my napster port.
Fastest download I can get is about 220K/sec through ftp.mozilla.org. Both are more than enough for me.
From a ISP's point of view, the more addresses you need, the greater bandwidth you'll be using, there is enough reason to charge you more just for that reason alone. More machines, More bandwidth, higher cost...
I once told @home about the other seven machines and 4 neighbours that I have connected to my network. Lets just say they weren't pleased (anonymously of course.).. Thats a lot of money they think they have a right to.
Cheers (uhhh.. the lameness filter just cut off my post the first time because there were toooo many CAPS.. nice.. didn't realize you under capitilize numbers)
I did read that, yes. But the quote is inferring the cd data will be written to the hard drive in 2 minutes... (encoding will take place after, and may take a much longer time)...
I just ripped 12 discs, each took 45 - 60 minutes.. I'm looking for ways to save time on this process.. (seeing that I have another 400 discs to rip, any time savings would help)
"Second, these aren't showstopper bugs; it isn't worth delaying Netscape another year for all the minor bugs that have been discovered. It hurts me to say this, but that's life with web browsers."
Want a preview of some what should be considered a showstopper ? There are some very bright and motivated people interested in the problem. But it does show some very deep internal problems with the mozilla code. If IE can do this page in 90 secs and mozilla chugs along to make it in 900.. then something is seriously wrong. There are a few others that trouble me much... They can be corrected, and will, but when ?
My hat is off to the mozilla team, all its contributers and hackers alike, you've built a very solid browser, So Far.... now on to the 10% thats left. (well 15%:)
