To folks considering buying HT-enabled processors, be warned that not everything will work when HT is enabled!
For one, burst!, my BitTorrent client simply crashes on start-up. I've been in contact with Intel about the issue, and after some initial jerking me around, I seem to have finally found a tech who's looking into the issue.. Probably has something to do with my compiler (the crash offset is within the delphi RTL).
My app is not alone, as others in this thread pointed out, hyperthreading can also trigger bugs in drivers..
Would you rather they did it in real life "for fun"? Is that better? Let people live out their violent fantasies (don't tell me you've never thought about killing someone; everyone has) in a virtual world generated by a computer in their bedroom, instead of one day breaking down for whatever reason and doing it IRL.
THC is not physically addictive, no.. But it can definitely be mentally addictive provided you make it a daily habbit. You don't NEED it, you just really really really WANT it..
Yes, but they're supposed to be comercials for MOVIES and not for PRODUCTS..
When I saw the trailer, I also could have sworn it was an ad for a real robot, and almost pissed myself with excitement when I saw "3 Laws Safe", and proceeded to explain them to everyone around me in the movie theater..
1) Steal personal information from dumpsters 2) Hire someone to find street kids addicted to meth to reassembled shredded personal information and files; take information and open credit cards 3) Profit!
The fact that he hung around a bunch of crazy drug addicts is exactly why he was so successfull.. he had basically an army of people willing to work for pennies, and to do mundane things (like stick together shredded personnel reports, read the article).
They were only so prolific because of the network of contacts that they had working for them..
This must be a new kind of TROLL! The "I-didn't-like-LOTR-and-offer-no-explanatation-but -it-really-sucked-ass!" Troll... Did you watch it at the movie theater, or did you watch the CAM in front of your PC?
Newest versions of Outlook (Express) will default to not allowing you to execute any kind of attachments.. rather annoying, as it disables images as well (probably a good thing though).
Hiding file extensions has been in there since Win95, and takes all of 4 clicks to disable.. (win2k: Tools, Folder Options, View, Hide extensions for known filetypes.. and while you're there, enable show hidden files and other nice things that m$ decided you didn't want to see).
I've always thought of it as more of a business.. be your own boss, that sorta deal..
90%+ of business startups fail.. so most people (who want to be able to afford food, shelter, etc..) don't quit their day jobs, at least not right away.

.. unless you configure your client to download only from seeds:)
There are always ways around these things, if you were so inclined.

Not only do you have to start the download first, you have no guarantee that you've got a) everyone, and b) the correct file (exception: edonkey)..
There are many php-based trackers that will gladly give a nice html formatted list of every single peer, including how much they have uploaded and downloaded since the their joining the swarm.
As for getting the correct file, I think that's fairly self explanitory.. networks without file hashes (ie, filename-based) suffer greatly from this problem.

I've said this before, and I will say it again. BT is not a good network for illegal content.
It's efficient in distributing large files quickly, especially if lots of people want them. However, it does so at the cost of any and all anonymity.. It's trivial to find IPs of people sharing any file (just ask the tracker; it'll give you a FULL LIST), without even downloading the file/joining the swarm yourself.
The MPAA at least has already begun sending DMCA-ish notices to ISPs stating "BitTorrent" as the network name..
As I've also said before, Don't do things illegal in your country!
(And if you want to do them, maybe you need to move to a different Country? God bless Canada and the blank media tax; I don't mind paying a little bit on every CD-R for a music piracy license!)
Mabey you need to change your "PE" into a "P.Eng"?:)
I agree about the lack of marketing though.. I'm in my second year of a four year computer engineering degree (@ McMaster), and this program is the hardest thing that I've ever even attempted to do in my life.. Engineers totally deserve recognition, if for nothing else, then for the mind bending they're subjected to in university!
Q: Where does the money go?
A: SOCAN collects licence fees and, after its operating costs are deducted, distributes the revenue as royalties to its members (songwriters, composers, lyricists and publishers) as well as to affiliated international societies for their members. More than 80% of the monies received from fees are distributed to the music creators and publishers entitled to it.
I know many small independent artists that regularly get checkes from SOCAN. You register your music with them, and they do sweeps of radio statiosn (CBC, College Radio, etc..) When they see your song is beind played, you get PAID. They really -DO- pay the artists, this is NOT the canadian RIAA.. that would be the CIAA, and they already tax blank CD-Rs, so they're pretty happy.
Right click the blinking icon, go to settings, find StartCenter, and check the box that disables it. I can't give more details instructions; as I've moved over to Real Alternative [mentioned in the WMP Classic post in this thread] long ago..
Yep, where we don't give a rat's ass about indian reserve land, nor any united nations agreements! All we care about is money, and polluting the shit out of our already destroyed enviroment (yay steel companies).

Every game I've ever tried to run has worked great on my Windows 2000 machine..
Why do people think this 2k has trouble with games?

ROFL! That was great! You've made a fan today..
1) Steal personal information from dumpsters
;)
2) Hire someone to find street kids addicted to meth to reassembled shredded personal information and files; take information and open credit cards
3) Profit!
So I guess now we know the missing step 2..
Did you RTFA?

ultr@vnc is even better..the list of features is very impressive (I like built-in file transfer.. pcanywhere is now officialy obsolete)

Beware of this program; to my knowledge is uses (illegal) anonymous FTP dumps to store it's files, and contains spyware.
Don't you get it?
We pay the tax... we're ALLOWED TO COPY!
Don't spread FUD.

Beware of the larger, further reaching cans that seem to be right over the horizon..
