Basically, the German recording industry is selling the idea that they should have carte blanche to block any incoming packets they see fit, at the router.
OK, they want to block illegal mp3s. Whether or not you agree with this is a different issue. How about they analyze the packets, and, in the case of an mp3, check the ID3 tag to ensure whether or not it is illegally distributed, *then* decide if it should be blocked or not? The technology is there to acheive this properly, but it won't happen. It will come down to all or nothing, and Cowboy Neal's groovy tunes will be blocked, just because they are mp3s. Sure, it's a shame, those are unexpected groovy treats, but if you're German, you won't get to hear them. Not without an offshore shell account and encryption, but how long until PGP packets are banned? Then they ban usenet, then email, then web. Welcome to the new net. An engineer's playground, brought into check by those who know better than you. You might have helped built it, but the goverment knows better. 'Think for yourself, and question authority.' Timothy Leary vs. the Grid Probably on Napster as an mp3, if you can't find it, get napigator and search for it. It's in there, and I doubt anyone involved would object to it's distribution. Support freenet & blacknet, it's the only realistic way to can advance without interference.
Every time you use Napster you are taking money away from people that have put their time and effort into creating a piece of art which enriches the world. What, like Shania Twain or the Backstreet Boys? If we leech enough, perhaps we can make the music industry *good* again. Not like these talentless ho's. BTW, has anyone asked Jello Biafra's opinion on this?
Or is everyone busy trying to connect to napster servers with it? If someone wants to make a running IP available, we can start a gnutella conga. Or does no-one run windows round here?
hoowah. alright, it's been awhile since i've woken up to find the webservers on fire from a slashdotting. as a result, i've had to close the beta group. It's a shame that the typical denizen around here can't(or won't) read the slashboxes, they would have seen this. As a result, it gets posted to slashdot, and ruins it for the rest of us. I can only hope the same ignorance prevails when it is ready to rock.
And, of course, using.asp pages with static content is a good way to screw up a lot of caching, which slows down at least my reloading time from a fraction of a second to several thousand times that...
Based upon what? Your limited knowledge of ASP? Altought it's server-side and static doesn't mean that it will be fetched *every* time, indeed, it's more likely to be cached. You might want to read up on cache control from a man who knows.
Ahh, nostalgia. In the 80's a bloke by the name of Andrew Braybrook wrote a C64 game named Uridium, fly over a satellite, shoot bits off it. I didn't realise it was training for real life...
I'm already having this problem, with an OS that's long-overdue for replacement, has poor game support and no USB support. I'm forced into using it to do server-related stuff, but it can't even play a decent game of Battlezone. It's Windows NT
Then upgrade to Windows 2000, or downgrade to Windows 98. Do you want to have your cake and to eat it? Anyway, you should be playing the original Battlezone, not one of those dodgy remakes...
Nintendo had it's day with the NES and the SNES with the introduction of the N64 we have a plethora of crappy cartoon oriented games that leave me with the chills. They have almost completely eliminated the concept of cheat codes and all their games require an additional "expansion pack" (well you don't need it but prepare for the characters to look the wooden dolls).
Hmm, Goldeneye & Zelda are two of the best games released on any platform. They don't require the expansion pack, Neither are very 'cartoony' and I doubt there are two games on the playstation that are close in playability. Anyhow, it's only games written to take advantage of the expansion pack can utilise it. There are perhaps 10 games that can use it, and 1 game that requires it.
having the evil elves kill me without warning are all symptoms of this problem.
and this is different from the wumpus how exactly?
If you don't test your equipment before launch, don't be surprised when it fails. The same thing happened with the Dreamcast on launch(in the US, anyway). Does this affect the old PSX Memory Cards too, or are they 'safe' from this virus^H^H^H^H^HGlitch?

I've just bought this from my local bookshop. And now I return to my desk, and there's an article about it in front of me. You were waiting until I bought it, weren't you? I must get one of those aluminum beanies...
Isn't it ironic how Puff Daddy is quoted defending the RIAA, since his music is ripped from other artists...:) Absolutely. Interesting how Public Enemy are outspoken supporters of MP3, but Puffy, who desecrated one of their tracks, is capitalistic in comparison. Then again, he's just so media friendly, while pretending to be tough. After all, why release one single, when you can release four(or was it five?) nb,
I couldn't believe it when I found out that this Napster was linking thousands of people to the new Notorious BIG album...This album is a labor of love from Notorious BIG's friends to the man.
How could it a new Notorious BIG album, if it's by his 'friends'? Why dontcha just dig up his corpse and get jiggy wit dat?
Well, you CAN.... look at http://www.dvorak.org/home.htm for an example. It's 17.5Kb Mind you, I'm not surprised it's fat and bloated, nor am I surprised his page is...
Alternatively, you could use PerlScript and write the whole page in obfuscated Perl. And which browser is it that supports PerlScript out of the box? bet it ain't one that any of the judges will be using.
"While Intel-based designs clearly dominate the computing market, Lipcon said there is very little overlap between the two technologies because Alpha does not run on any Windows-based systems."
Well, that's not entirely inaccurate. After all, Microsoft dropped the Alpha support in NT round about NT4/SP4.
Also, I could have sworn that there were restrictions on the computational power that we could export from the U.S. Something that breezes through nuclear calculation could probably brute-force crack most encryption methods in an afternoon...
I thought the French banned almost all encryption. Surely to have an encrypted message of any form would violate their own laws...
My local grey importer has signs up claiming they will have them for sale on Monday(I'm in the UK), and that they have more pre-orders for that than for the Dreamcast when it first appeared. Illegal it may be, but it's still going to happen, and people will put up with Japanese versions, just to be first on the block to play these things. On a side note, being in the UK, we're region2, same as Japan. Will the same rules apply for import/export here?
A year is a leap year if it is divisible by 4. Unless it is divisible by 100 and NOT divisble by 400 (1700,1800,1900,2100). 1600 and 2000 ARE leap years. Surely:- A year is a leap year if it is divisible by 4 and the result is a whole number. Otherwise every year is divisible by any number.
on the day IBM were shopping for an OS. Additionally:- it would seem that the creation of Microsoft was largely supported, not least financially, by the NSA. Did the NSA really have a clue at this point in time, I thought the development of Microsoft was the acceptance of Basic in boxes like the Altair and the C64, which I would doubt the NSA would have had much interest in at the time, unless they wanted to check you were taking proper care of your Sims^H^H^H^HLittle Computer People...

Don't forget the Bjork video Cunningham did.
All is full of love, featuring a robot Bjork. Now where do you suppose those designs came from?

it seems to me that Compaq are going to sell a computer that is going to analysis the destrution of the south pacific.
