If people start using KDE on Windows, it will be trivial to move them to Linux. Once they realize that Windows was just a "badly debugged collection of device drivers" and that there's no longer a need to pay the Microsoft tax, they'll quickly switch to KDE on Linux.
Trying to promote freedom by imposing restrictions is never a good idea. The paternalistic fascists who want to impose Linux on everyone are worse than the capitalist monopolists, because their fanaticism is unmoderated by the rationality of financial self-interest.
the neat thing about farnsworth fusors is that you can generate high-energy neutrons using D-T fusion at 14MeV which will penetrate nuclei and create new isotopes. For example, with the DU counterweight from a junked 747 as a neutron target, you can produce plutonium 239 in your basement. If you have enough capacity and energy input, you can produce a plutonium bomb core with no nasty difficult isotopic isolation phase required, such as might attract the attention of the IAEA or the US DoD.
So you feel that Roland should serve you and never gain any benefit from it? Interesting. So you're not at all like an altruist, who believes that he should serve others. You're really a flagrant egotist, who feels that others should serve him. I wonder if you think that you define deontic truth by fiat, or created the universe, as well.
I'm not a porn consumer, but I can imagine people wanting to pause while they talk to their boss on the phone, and more to the point, wanting to skip the "dramatic development" scenese.
What's amazing is that you can do it for thousands or millions of consumers without a DOD-sized hosting budget. I can see this getting very rapid uptake with porn startups.
Justin essentially invented swarming downloads, but he over-engineered it with FEC, and the first implementation suffered for requiring a JRE download at a time when the JRE was rather slovenly and broadband had much less penetration and computers were rather slower and smaller. Bram picked up the ball, and wrote a much more practically useful application, which got a lot of fame and uptake, by deftly avoiding all those issues. (I haven't seen Bram around much for at least a year now. Wonder what he's up to.) Anyhow, I think Justin's point (SPECULATION) is that he doesn't mind that Bram stole his thunder with a less technically virtuosic but more market-appropriate product, and he doesn't have a not-invented-here hatred for the protocol design, nor does he think it is badly designed or executed in such a way as to justify animosity. (For example, if it used UDP with no TCP-friendly throttling -- if Bram had foolishly opted to do that, which many people of less foresight have done, given the proportion of IP traffic devoted to BT today, the Internet would no longer be transporting TCP packets with usable reliability -- he would have destroyed the Internet as we know it, which would have very much justified extreme animosity.)
Really, Justin is a cool, clever fellow, and your sneering comment is quite unjustified, except perhaps by the assumption-laden brevity of the expression to which you reacting.
I will. Most of my viewing is MPEG video running in the vicinity of 700kb/sec. I could run two computers simultaneously real-time streaming NTSC resolution video on a single consumer broadband link. Many cable connections support 2Mb/sec, which is more than adequate for a single real-time stream of well-compressed video at DVD quality levels.
that's what swarming is for: you get it from 12 different people, and voila, your incoming link is saturated.

Ultimately, dealing with a recalcitrant individual comes down to brute force. As Mao said, power flows from the barrel of a gun. But since the guns are all held by the state, parents have no actual power to enforce rules upon their children. It doesn't matter how much 'backbone' you have if using it just gets you 5-8 years in the penitentiary. It's also unlikely to be helpful to your children to get yourself put away, lose your job, etc.
No. The official peg is the best price you'll get in either direction. There's basically no spread to work with, and no black market in RMB or USD, except for that swirling around black market, counterfeiting, etc. On the street, a dollar is a dollar is 8.29 RMB is 8.29 RMB. This stability has been a major part of the economic success of PRC as a global trading partner over the past 15 years.

It's not a company, it's a person, a member of the General family, which has given us most of our military leaders for over 200 years. Other well known family members outside of the military include General Electric, General Panic, General Failure and General Incompetence, although I suspect the latter may have been responsible for planning the attack and occupation of Iraq.
Theres no telling what a Martian microbe would do in a Terrestrial environment, and there's no reasonable basis for making predictions. It might not even be an organism per se, but rather silicon-based life. The only categorical solution is not to bring anything back until the place has been thoroughly explored, in detail. It's a one-way trip, boys.
Another possibility is that local expansion has blue-shifted a region of the star field. The cosmological principle is sheer speculation -- useful, but speculative.

It's not at all clear that he's looking for Maxima, as your analysis implies, but in case he is, it's on sourceforge.
that galileo, what an air head. the earth revolves around it's axis. it orbits around the sun.

Whoa, and here I was getting all ready to agree with him. Glad I read your reply before he said it again!
I've found that it's usually easier to get free beer if it's open. The longer it sits around open and unconsumed, the more likely it is to be free.

He's evil. Why would you help him to be evil?
I'm serious.
Sterlize him, lobotomize him, send him to Guantanamo for re-education, sure, but answer him?
No.
