The km is based on the circumference of the earth. It was designed to be the 100 part of a grade (there are 400 grades in a circle) i.e. the circumference of the earth is 40000 km.
Unfortunately the French geographer that measured the earth in the 18th century did not come up with an exact value so we had to redefine it twice since to have a more accurate value.
If you believe 100mbits is too slow why not use IP over Firewire. I use it on my MacOSX server and it is screaming fast. You get 3200 mbits.
There is really nothing to do just daisy chain your mac with Firewire cables and configure the new network. On MacOSX client you will need to install IP over Firewire manually.
Why do we need all this. Centralized system, government intervention.
Copyright is no an absolute given god right. It is a temporary monopoly granted by all the people to an individual so that he can make a living doing what he does (music, software, books...). At no point was the copyright intended to prevent people from viewing or listening to the material. The purpose is to give the author some mean of profiting from his work.
In this sense the current situation is not that bad. If you are a scrooge and do not want to pay anything you try to download for free and you get what you get. Quality is pot shot and you do not give anything to the artist. If you are a bit more reasonable don't want to spend hour downloading and want a bit better quality you use a service like Apple iTune Music Store and the artist get something. No need to change anything expect to send the RIAA packing.
Music is not a necessity, people can live without it.
I would strongly disagree with this. As far as we know all cultures at the surface of this planet have had some form of music. This is part of what being human means.
Depriving someone of music is as bad for his psychological well-being as depriving him of speech or hearing. You can survive it but it is definitively not a normal situation. Music is a necessity.
This is a very well known problem of NT and 2000. I have not tested XP yet. The memory management does not work with heavily multi-threaded applications. Have you tried your application on a Unix box? I would suggest a MacOSX box you will be surprised by the result.
Each time this topic comes back we need to be reminded that any uniform centralized information system is the first thing any "internal security" service puts in place. Why do we need to make it easy for them.
There is a very visible patern there we play with user fear of attack / security to convince them that it would be convenient for a "reliable authority" to store their identity information, etc... and before you know it you have lost your privacy and your freedom.
There are many way of doing this Hailstorm was one but the governement is also playing that game with social security numbers and identity cards.

How can that be illegal? MD are licensed for their work, Layer, nurses etc. are also licensed.
May be the SD Times should hire a "licensed developper" to fix the date. They appears to be one year late "January 1, 2003".
Gb ethernet is 1 G bit per seconds
Firewire is 400 M Bytes per seconds or 3.2 G bits per seconds

MacOSX support any number of button mouse and scroll wheel out of the box. It is just Apple mouse that has only one button.

This would be a very cool open source project port the Carbon API to Linux or other Unixes.
