Maybe AOL could use that many if all their users were given real IPs =P... otherwise to answer your question, yes it would be a great help to have a good chuck of those IPs back.
Unisys and Compuserve have just announced that they also hold the patent for lossy compression and will be collecting royalties from all open and closed source implementations.
I enjoy watching the show too, but it's that basic premise that is one of the weakest links in the plotline imho. Watch out while I scramble the bits on your optical media... please, you have to admit it's just a bit far fetched. But of course the fuel injection systems in automobiles still work fine (all the new GMCs and the motorcycle she rides).
Wonder where you got that "original" idea...

Perhaps it's one of the major themes to the TV series Dark Angel.
For the RIAA it's a matter of not being left out of the loop for they have always controlled the distribution of music on a large scale. If online trading of music becomes the primary way music is traded and they are not part of that equation (i.e. controlling it completely) then it will spell doom for them in the long run.
Most of us here on slashdot are well ahead of the general technology curve when looking at the population in its entirety. Perhaps, Napster making music easily available has generated additional revenue for the music industry, but at the moment there is no solid data to prove that one way or the other. As the article stated on the numbers we do have, the sale of CD's (not singles) is still growing and how the RIAA best makes use of that money is their decision to make.
No doubt, the RIAA will continue to use every legal trick possible to maintain their control over the delivery and distribution of music. Until the courts finally realize that (for the moment) trading of MP3s online has yet to cause real damage to the recording industry, the legal battles will continue.
Gee, I guess I won't have to worry about fast forwarding through any imaq commericals when I record something to watch later...
Or any actual program content for that matter! The FCC really needs to get their act together. I hate to have bureaucracy creating more bureaucracy, but it may be time for some entity to regulate them.
I find it funny too, but now it's 2am and I'm *really* tired. Might I also add the use of a potatoe cannon, just attach the card to the front of the potatoe and instant dinner (well, just as soon as you find it). Yes folks, it slices it dices and it doesn't do Open GL in Linux!

I ran OS/2 Warp v3 for quite a while because I was able to play full screen DOOM as a dos process while downloading with my (speedy for the day) 28.8 kbaud modem in the background. Keep in mind that this was on a 486 with an amazing 8MB of RAM. (This was coming from MS Windows 3.x where swapping between tasks would cause an error in a file transfer running a windows apps.)
As far as Win32 support is concerned, that was a shame that it was never incorporated into OS/2, but I believe that I was able to run Win32s binaries (M$'s poor attempt to try and make a 16-bit environment Win 3.x use 32bits).
I remember using this program with my first graphically capable internet connection. It was great, but thank god for my current T1 connection. =) I would be willing to help out with maintaining the project, but I don't have to time to take it on by myself.
Open GL could be the answer...

If we really want to see games on Linux the developers need to write the games to take advantage of Open GL. This would allow the Linux community and other (inferior os's) to run the same games with minimal recoding efforts.

That's an amazing feat considering most of their files are redirected for download on alternate servers (aka conxion.com).

Cool, and just as I now have a dedicated machine to load FreeBSD on. =)
