Read the original post a bit more carefully. ALL the subscribers' IP addresses are private, nonroutable addresses. It isn't even an issue of having a router at home.
So you are saying that this guy should call up the isp and ask them to configure their linksys router to forward all traffic on a certain port to his ip address and not allow any other customer to have traffic on that port?
I bet that works really well when I decide to watch a movie over at a friend's house. "Hey we can't watch the movie yet. I have to figure out how to hack your dvd player to play my dvd." For some reason that doesn't sound easier than just getting the proper dvd in the first place.
I live in the United States and my dvd players are region 1 and my friends' dvd players are region 1. I thought that would have been somewhat obvious when I said I needed a region 1 dvd.
I've bought several laserdiscs on ebay. I don't know why I like them but I just do. I was able to get a couple pioneer laserdisc players at my university's surplus auction for about $20 for the pair. Both work perfectly. I've got a few laserdiscs that aren't available on dvd and it doesn't look like they ever will be(like I said earlier, Johnny Got His Gun).
Laserdiscs video is analog so you cannot digitally extract it. If you would rather have DVDs then sell your laserdiscs and buy the DVDs. Though I know some movies were released on laserdisc but not on DVD(Johnny Got His Gun comes to mind).
And how the hell is a drive manufacturer's warranty going to help when those other bad things happen? A warranty is useful when drives malfunction. RAID is useful when drives malfunction. RAID performs perfectly well when a drive malfunctions. Of course other things happen to data. Backups are necessary. But in regards to a malfunctioning drive(which would require warranty service), RAID handles just fine.
No, all you said was blah blah blah blah raid is not a backup blah blah blah. Well no fucking shit. Nobody is talking about backups. We are talking about when drives die. The whole deal here is Seagate extending their warranties. Warranties have nothing to do with fires or floods or people deleting their files. Warranties have everything to do with drives dying. RAID is PERFECT for when drives die. A drive can die and you can go on with your work. Pull the drive, get a new one with the warranty(remember, that's what this discussion is about), put the new one in.
Make sure your mom is done with the goats before you rope them. Wouldn't want her to get caught up in your nasty shit.
What the fuck is common jargon? Are you talking about ignorant 13-year-olds? They are the only people who possibly have an excuse to say virii. It is just so completely stupid. By the way, your complete wikipedia article looks somewhat barren.
Man you are a moron. You think contra somehow is the same thing as kama? How the fuck can you possibly confuse contra sutra with kama sutra. That just blows my mind. What the hell is wrong with you?
Okay my turn. Your name has 'or' in it so obviously your name is moron since moron also has 'or' in it.
eh I really don't give a shit about karma. I just post what I post; I don't post to get modded up. I get modded down sometimes and modded up sometimes so it doesn't matter much to me.

You know they have the internet on computers now.
Somebody make a game with all white people and let's see what the blacks have to say about that. You just can't win.
And illiterate book-lovers.

Did you even read the first sentence of his post?
Or what Microsoft is doing the day after yesterday.

Find me a region 1 disc that isn't a bootleg.

Because, as we all know, there are absolutely no major cities in Alaska. Thanks for the insight.

He never said it was, you ignorant goat roper.
God damn I hate those eyebrows. She is pretty attractive except for the painted on eyebrows.
How the hell could you tell he was using mozilla?
NO! Don't file your stuff against me!
How the hell could you tell what he used to block ads?
And by friend he means his girlfriend. She is looking for something at least four inches long, but he hasn't gained his three yet.

Is it inherently fair that poor white students have to pay for poor black students to attend school?
