Don't be too proud of this technological terror you've constructed. The power of a Slashdotting is insignificant compared to the power of the Google Cache.
All I need to do to block 99% of my spam is to block the word Vicodin in the subject. What's up with that? I got 24 vicodin emails today, and no other spam. Weird. Anyway, thank God for Mozilla mail's filter.
Yeah, we had the same complaints up here in Canada when the government decided to eliminate the $1 bill in favour of the $1 coin. The $1 coin has a picture of a loon on it, so we call it a looney. Then later, they eliminated the $2 bill and instroduced a $2 coin. It has a picture of a polar bear, but we call it a twooney, since calling a $1 coin a looney is so much fun. (I'm not making this stuff up, by the way). Anyway, long story short, just reinforce the pockets in all your pants, and get used to counting a lot of coins all the time. Or carry a change-purse like they did in the old days.
That's priceless! I can just imagine a hip-hop Bill Gates (Billy G for short), with big sunglasses, baseball cap on backwards, a big sports jersey and too-low pants. I'd love to see that!!
My life is stressful enough as it is.. e-mail is plently "real-time" enough for my users when they need to get in conatct with me. Last thing I need is a bunch of IM messages popping up a hundred times a day.
I don't know much about the economics of it, but if your on a major label, and getting lots of exposure, even if your not making money of CD sales, you will make a mint from touring and selling out stadiums. Have you seen ticket prices lately? I imagine the artists see a good chunk of that revenue.
As others have pointed out, the M3U file is just a text file with URL's in it. To download the MP3's, first save the m3u file somewhere, then download all the MP3's with wget:
consider mocking the President or laugh when someone else mocks the President or even think of laughing when someone else mocks the President, then the terrorists win.
I'm Canadian, you insensitive clod! I'm allowed to laugh at US Presidents!...And your current one is the best in years!;-)
I was waiting for someone to say this.. I agree, it sounds to me like they're ditching an expensive operation which doesn't have much (if any) potential to generate revenue. And just so they don't look like money-grubbing bastards, they tag on "it's for the children".... Yeah, right.
Oh yes, this is a great argument against a corporate oriented distro. Gee! People can't use their workstations to look at media clips on company time.
That's a pretty short sighted comment.. My company's Win XP image that we install on every desktop is stripped pretty bare, but it does include Windows Media Player. The user might need to look at video presentations, security camera footage, any number of uses. Any serious desktop OS should have a video player (and it is easy to install on Red Hat as others have pointed out).

Usually a transparent proxy has to understand the protocols it is proxying... If the proxy doesn't speak BitTorrent, it won't work.
If only then knew the darkside of the force...
+1 redundant ;-)

Well, your partially right, who else would call their dollar coin a loony? :-)

But you have no problem giving them your credit or debit card?
I was wondering why google kept popping up ads for hot sorority girls .. now I know why! ;-)
It finds google.com properly, but that site redirects to google.ca ... You would have to put
216.239.37.99 www.google.ca google.ca
in your hosts file. (I can't test this from work, though).

Where can I get this program? I want to run it at work! That will really piss off the users! hahahaha! (Evil BOFH laugh)
I don't know if that's really progress .. I can type and read much faster than I can talk and listen.
You can cut and paste from the Windows Telnet program (right-click on the title bar), or are you using an X display?
I for one never answer the phone when I'm in the bathroom ... And I like to think that my callers appreciate that too.

Given China's track record of human rights abuses and not respecting copyright law ... How long till I can download the Windows sources from Kazaa? :-)

Only on Slashdot would that be moderated as "Interesting"! :-)

Didn't you ever see the documentatry "Man vs Nature: The Road to Victory"?
Interesting link ... Microsoft spends more on Marketing and Advertising than it does Research and Developement.
Yeah, I always wanted a 3D projection of a grainy, breaking-up, static-y video which gets stuck in a loop... Well, maybe if Pricess Leia was naked..

Are you typing that with one hand? ;-)
