I submit that most who actually know what happened (of course most don't give a shit about history), but most who do know what happened do think of it as terrible act quite close to terrorism. This bombing was specifically designed to be evil, to try and demoralise people. Its quite chilling to read about the fire storms and the effect on the city.
there is a simple "tit for tat" method that ensures that you serve best the nodes which upload to you, thus ensuring that everyone will indeed participate
And also ensuring that the many of us with a high download and slow upload get a piss poor download rate if tryng to use Bittorrent.
Blizzards Wow trial took about 30 hours where it would have taken me about 2 hours from a "normal" website.
(No need to tell me about the politics etc of torrents, i know - but thats why i don't like bittorent)
Also it does not have that bar along the side of the tree showing you which messages are in the other frame.
It does here (or perhaps it does now), there is a bar which indicates all of the messages you can currently view, and there is a smaller arrow image which gets adjusted as you scroll up and down in the right pane, so its always pointing at the one you are reading.
It still is missing the previous,next links at the bottom.
Yes this is a gross oversight, i don't know what they heck they were smoking.
Usenet posts are copyright of their authors, automatically and without any obligation to register in most jurisdictions. They do not become public domain, free-for-all content just because they're posted to Usenet.
Under what law? There is nothing creative in 99.9999% of all the posts on usenet.
They used to show the IP address of the poster - leaving them poster open to attacks if one said something that others objected to (if you have a permanent number). They could simply encode the IP number if they wanted it for abuse purposes.
What the hell are you talking about. How in any way did I imply we are all born equal? Get off the horse and re-read my message. I said, and say now, there are always options for ANYONE to get out of somehting they are in now.
You do realize that that was a highly successful series, right?
No i didn't realise that - i only heard it was a ratings flop. With whom was it a success? Those who didn't like the films? I liked the films but stopped almost at once watching this because it was something entirely else (of course we now know that a big part of it was Lucas testing his digital cinema! But that's a different story)
And that is why you and people like you implicitly suppress others. The fake notion that there are always options and we are all born equal. We are NOT all equal the just world would allow for that - and there are not always options. It's the excuse of those who have for not caring about those who don't.
I think since most geniuses don't hit their peak of invention until nearing the ends of their lives, extending it will either push it much further back or... make huge leaps in technology.
On the contrary, someone compaired this at one point: The vast majority of the gifted people make the big breakthroughs when they are young, before they get married and "settle down".
Slashdot Mirror
...too well in MSIE if you have disabled font sizes (which I must since most sites abuse stylesheets to lock the font in a tiny unreadable font).
What are H1B's?
I say people who mod down are not of use to slashdot. There is so much nonsense you can never mod it all down: Mod UP instead.
but few think of it as terrorism

..."It means that really a tiny minority with a very focused political agenda is trying to censor American television and radio.'"
Of course, because apparently most americans do not respect different opinions. There is just one: Theirs and all others must be supressed.
(And when this post gets modded down that just proves the point)

The first page looks like the original but if you search you are in the new interface - no choice.
I like the improved 'posting' speed;
Stopped using it years ago when i realise they stamped the IP number on the post. I trust they still do that on GG2?

how DARE you try and make money
by launching an inferior product. Yes that makes sense.

How does saying that anyone can get out of anything imply we are all equal?
Because you seem to think everybody has your ability by postulating that there are always ways of getting out of something. There aren't.
And since you insulted me I won't be replying to you any further.
It seems its mostly immature kids who are left, and they mod like crap. I suggest using the metmod system to get them weeded out...

There.
Imagine a character with the looks of Jessica Simpson, the voice of James Earl Jones, and the acting ability of 20 character modeling experts....)
:)
I'm imagining the next version where one can set the paramaters so those of us who like more curvy women can actually get that

He's still seeing Calista Flockhart isn't he? That would make her 22 years younger.
Indian Jones the Zimmer frame?

Most people only think they know what they believe in. Those that try to know more, have my respect.
But Faith logically unproveable (and unknowable) otherwise it wouldn't be faith but fact.
Instead imagine a world where you spend 100 years working on something you like
Imagine spending 400 years at a crappy job you hate, because that is all society will allow you...

... if you'r a european and buy a US copy and try to sign up? That's the talk, they will ban you and never allow you to join again.
Seems rather ridiculous.
What they're doing is in your and everyone else's best interest, as it will keep lag down.
Sure its in everbodies interests they can't get to play with their friends. Good work Blizzard.
