    I'm sure glad they reposted this because I missed it the first time. I'd have missed out on a good article if it would have went un-duped.

    Yea if they would have fixed everything 9 years ago they would have only fixed 1 year of criticiscm.

    Somewhat of a parody of COPS I would say, but other than having Tom Servo as one of the droids this was more of an adoption of what a show like COPS would be like if it started Sandtroopers on Tatoone. It is funny in it's seriousness, rather than how most parodies exploit slapstick humor.

    While you are somewhat right you are trying to define a logical layout to a technical issue. Even still things like email servers and DNS are all peer to peer. Printer and filer shares, not servers, are considered peer to peer. TCP/IP is a peer to peer protocol by design.

    While I'd say there are severall applications of p2p that are used primarly for illegal activity. I'd say that 99.9% of all p2p software is 100% legit.

    Look at things like printer shares, coorporate file shares, web servers, email servers, dns, etc...

    Tobacco I kind of understand. Although any more it is fairly obvious that smoking is bad for you and if you don't know better by now then your money is better in the hands of tobacco CEOs. ...but until I see a ball and chain attached to the McDonald's workers legs I wont aggree witht hat analogy.

    Choice is key.

  21. Re:They killed their product long ago on TiVo Starts Testing "Pop-up" Ads · · Score: 1

    ...watching the origination of this joke, the South Park Underpants Gnome episode, you'll see that they completely avoided a step 2 what so ever. The adding ??? to step two was a Slashdot mutation of the original joke. If asked what step 2 was you just reiterate that step 3 was profit and ignore all references to there being a step 2 or even needing to have a step 2.

    Just my pet peeve on the 'step 3) Profit' overly played out joke here on Slashdot that just seems applicable all to often.
