Libranet 2.7 Released

This is my story of course some of this is due to the fact that the first time I tried was with 2.1 and the next with 2.2 and the installer had become *much* better in that time. I think many people will only be happy when it is GUI based and I don't think that will ever happen.
Implied in your question is the assumption that P2P takes money away from the labels. This is IMO untrue. I think I'm a fairly typical user and will try to explain to you why you are wrong.
To start with many times a download of a sone or two leads to a purchase. For a recent example about 6 months ago I downloaded some tunes from these fine young men and as a result bought their entire back catalog. I have done this on many occasions. The other things that I download are 1 or 2 songs that I may like but I would never buy the entire album because they may have at most one good song. No money lost because I would not have bought it had the download not been there. I think a lot of p2p downloads fall into one of these two situtaions and so they are either a good thing for the labels or at worst neutral. Make no mistake this is all about control and not about money.
I think you misunderstand this would mandate that the goverment produce things in open formats. It would mean that they *would* save things as.rtf or plain text or whatever. It would mean that they open formats *would* be used.
Simple question besides posting to/. what the hell has Michael ever done? Bruce on the other hand. So I think Bruce wins.

Netscape 7.0 is Out

Or do what I do. Use it at work, test with it. I've had *many* cases where it is faster and/or better than IE. Show people the popup blocking. Show people the pretty themes. Most of the company I work at (~400 people) use Mozilla at least some of the time and a good chunk of those use it almost all the time. Word of mouth works great for Mozilla because it *really* is better in many ways.
many people hate Netscape what with the AOL stuff the ads etc etc. But just about everyday here at work I convert someone to Mozilla and/or show them some way in which it is better than IE. This has gotten to the point where next week I have a meeting with our MIS department to implement Mozilla in addition to IE as a standard. The moral of the story start using it and when people have a problem with IE test using Mozilla many times it will work and people will start to use it and love it. Also the whole blocking popup thing is a good way to sell people on it.:)
We just went back to Tomcat. Basically my company is putting a "web application" thing out and when they first started they where using Tomcat. Went with HPAS for a while but now that that is dead we are going back to Tomcat. The main reason is because there is nobody to kill it.:) In any case I like it and hope we will be able to contribute back.
As a religious (but far from fundamentalist) person I would like to thank you for that brillant explanation of just what is and where the lines are. Your points are the exact same reason I think God and anything like religion should be left out of the schools. Thanks.

Yup vcdhelp is *great*. On my Sharp 740u on the example mentioned in the story I simply hit skip on the trailers and it goes right through them. Not a big problem.
IMO nothing is bad about OS X. for me it is simply about learning curves. I like the hardware but I *really* do not want to take the time to learn a new OS that is why if I where to get enough money to buy some of Apple's sweet sweet hardware I would put Debian on it.

And you can get it for HP-UX. I hate myself because I know that. :( BTW it sucks and why you would want to use it is beyond me.
This might work. I *love* Jabber just get a server that has a good ICQ gateway and you should be rocking.

Stealing would be the wrong term but it very much violates the EULA to put it on anything but official Cisco hardware.

You do of course understand that the OSDN comment was what we like to call a joke. :)
No no you are not most likely you do not live near one. They are kind of a Costco for electronics and computer parts. Not too many stores.

I had a +4 troll at one point. :) It had been at +5 funny. A Neal Stephenson joke. Some mod did not get the ref and thought it was a troll.
