I'm using a 128 kb/s ISDN line, so it would take about 12 hours to download. However, I'm not at my computer 24/7, and my parents would kill me if I left it on overnight or while I'm at school.
I don't understand the logic of people who support Napster. It's sole purpose is to allow the free exchange of music over the internet, so it is designed to pirate music, making it illegal. There are absolutely no arguments supporting Napster, and the "online community" bull is just a transparent excuse to defend piracy. Napster is illegal and therefore should be banned. Also, I'm surprised that more universities haven't banned Napster, considering its effect on bandwith. My brother says that his dorm's T3 line is slower than his modem because of all the people dowloading pirated music. If you want music for free, then get it from some amateur group, don't steal it from someone else. And don't complain about the price. If you don't like it, don't buy it.
I don't see how changing the libel laws will change anything. Even if it was easier to prove innocence in a libel case, it would probably be much cheaper for the accused ISP to settle the case out of court. And moving a site to the US may end up costing more if it is sued, as the defendants will have to travel to the US to defend it. This is just an example of everyone's desire to get free money by suing somebody else. And I thought it was only in the US.
Personally, I don't think this will work that well. While the soldier may get enough nutrition from the patches, he'll get really hungry. The amount of nutrition a person gets has nothing to do with how hungry they get, which is determined by the amount of substance that's inside the person's stomach. It could work, however, if coupled with something, anything to eat.
Well, if the project is open sourced, what would there be to stop a third party from starting a profitable company and commercially selling it? I seriously doubt that Asynchrony would do early as good a job selling a product as a company founded for that purpose.
Actually, it is possible to go past the speed of light in a medium other than a vacuum, such as water. I don't remember what the effect was called, but the example I remember is that of particles from a nuclear reaction entering water near the speed of light in a vacuum. Or maybe the particles slow down upon contact with the water to below the speed of light in water.
What a bunch of bull. Wireless Internet devices replacing PCs? Yeah right. Somebody show me a "wireless Internet device" that you can play Quake 3 on. That is, Quake 3 on a 20" monitor and at 1600x1200 3d accelerated. If that ever happens, then maybe the PC will be dying. However, at the moment, it looks like he might just be making a sales pitch.
Sorry for being a little offtopic, but I just had to reply to this. While this situation might be illegal under US and Israeli laws, do you really expect the US, the same country who assassinated a democratically elected president in Chile, and Israel, which is in violation of over 70 UN security resolutions (see Ramsey Clark's Challenge to Genocide) to care about legality? Personally, I don't think the fact that it's illegal has any effect on their actions.
Government official:Linus=Linux, Linux=something I keep hearing about so it must be important even though I have no idea what it is, give him green card, feel good.

Oh, great. I started downloading mandrake 2 days ago, and now when I'm 64% done, they tell me there's a new version. Dang.

Check out this benchmarking of something more important to us, done by a linux site.

Sorry, I meant Sega, not Sony.
I was actually comparing to using a mouse, not a keyboard.
Ever heard of a mouse? Oh, and I only paid $60 for my Savage4 w/32 megs. Sorry about the Sony thing. I meant Sega.
I agree. I think it beats out serial any day, especially with programs like ps2rate.
1. You just can't get decent graphics on a 320x240 resolution TV, no matter how good the graphics controller.
2. They're too friggin expensive(the games).
3. Ever try playing Quake 3 with a gamepad?
4. Ever try playing Tiberian Sun with a gamepad?
5. No shareware/freeware games.
6. Impossible to copy, at least they would be if all the console makers were as smart as Sony.
7. Less competition=less quality.
I'm sure there are more reasons, but that's enough for now.
FYI, LAME=Lame Ain't an Mp3 Encoder
Virtual Quake 3
pr0n
sleep(nah, we want the real thing)
The list can go on forever.
Once Diamond releases OpenGL drivers for the Savage4, then maybe. As for now, I need my Quake 3, so Winblows it is.
Good graphics at a 320x240 resolution? Nothing compared to a geforce at 1900x1200.

Don't make a deal with Microshaft-remember what they did with Java.
At least I wasn't cowardly enough to hide my identity. BTW, ever tried playing Quake 3 with one mouse button?
That's why they made the iMac for you and the rest of the girls.

Isn't that what they all say?
That's not true. On the same drive, move takes precedence over copy, but between drives, copy is the default.
