    The correct spelling is "Quebecois", not "Quebecker". Typical stupid Canader...

  2. Re:No Home Email Servers!!!! on Should ISPs Cut Off Bot-infected Users? · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Fuck you. The internet is not a consumer distribution network. Each host is a client and a server. And if i want to receive mail at my home it is not of your business.

    Peer should be killed for their bad behavior, not for their capability. They should be disconnected for sending spam, not because they have a mta or a botd. It should be up to the owner to decide if he want to 1. Remain disconected, 2. Stop willingly sending spam or 3. Remove the botd that send spam without his knowledge.

    In 1971, when Richard Stallman started his career at MIT, he worked in a group which used free software exclusively. Even computer companies often distributed free software. Programmers were free to cooperate with each other, and often did.

    Before micro-soft, software was the source code. But it is too easy to patch source code then compiled binarys, so it is more profitable to have customer unable to apply patchs and have them buy the same thing over and over every year. This "normal" state of closness didnt happen until the 80s. Thanks to Bill Gate. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Letter_to_Hobbyists

  6. Re:But I do pay for it on Copyright License Fees Drive Pandora Out of Canada · · Score: 1

    Straight downloading without resorting to P2P is the way to go, absolutely no-one has ever been sued for just downloading.

    No one has been sued for "straight" downloading because nobody is doing that, it is a stilly way of doing it. Who would host that "straight" downloading? That person would be in the worng as much as the one seeding, plus get get a extra isp fee for been silly and not using p2p.

    On p2p, you are not infrigning because you do not distribute, it is the remote peer that use your computer to make a private copy. The court ruled that the internet is equivalant to the library copier 2.0. And as such, you can use other's copier to make a copy that you keep to yourself and this wont constitute distribution.

    My bad for not providing citation in my original comment. http://news.cnet.com/2100-1027_3-5182641.htm

    "The mere fact of placing a copy on a shared directory in a computer where that copy can be accessed via a P2P service does not amount to distribution," Finckenstein wrote. "Before it constitutes distribution, there must be a positive act by the owner of the shared directory, such as sending out the copies or advertising that they are available for copying."

    Where is your citation? Oh that right "you think that". Well congrat on your insightful mod.

    [...] as long as you only leech. It's the law. They made it. If they don't like it, tough.

    You can and should always seed. Seeding is not broadcasting data, it is peers using your computer's resources to make a private copy for themselves. Like a friend coming to your house with blank tapes and using your audio gear to dupe. This is now how P2P work from the canadian's court point of view.{{fact}} What would be worng is making tapes dupes and selling them or brining them, yourself, to your friend's house.

    I dont think they are shoting themselves in the foot.. or at last they dont think they do. They just dont want free/ads suported/cheap internet music service to flourish, selling the same things over and over at the various itunes and itunes-likes are way more profitable.

    Stay on topic idiot, this is about Linux. Intelligent been would have figure he need to replace "X11" and "glX" for the windowing system and windowing api of his favorite platform. What the point of trying to be a smartass as anonymous coward anyway, geting modded up wont do you any good.

    Because Direct3D is useless without the Windows api. Just as OpenGL is useless without X11 and glX. Wine has that missing componement avaible and will probably have great use for this... I call Troll on your comment.

    It all the little Micro-Soft shill studio that are the anomalies of this industrie. They produce many shit games that wont be played by anyone 6 month later. The Blizzard, ID and Valve are the pillars of pc gaming.

    The only ones that are using directx are windows and xbox developers, and those are really the same platform. Also where you conting Nintendo and Sony developpers as Direct3d users? The market for Direct3d are limited to the Micro-Soft monopoly. OpenGL is far from been endanged, and certainly not by some direct3d games that wont run on up-to-date systems 5-10 years ahead.

    In the Wine layer, Direct3D is only a warper to user-space opengl. This will allow Direct3D call, from Wine or otherwise, to talk in the most direct manner to the hardware. I doubt anyone will use Direct3D natively on Linux, except for the Wine developpers. Which already got all the missing DirectX parts that make Direct3D useful...

    This is why the sealing procedure finaly worked, no more oil to presure the dirt out. This is also the reason why they accepted to permanently seal the well; they knew there was no more oil get from it anyway. Good job BP!

    Its never was about freedom of speech, its about freedom of religion. Religious freedom dosent mean "I can do what ever because I has a religion". It simply mean that "I can do what ever WITH the religion". I am free to ignore any of them, or I am free to worship any of them, but I am also free to shit on any of them. That may make me a asshole to you. But that your problem; deal with your own hatred.

    By attaking my freedom to shit on your religion you are destructing your own freedom to whoreship your ugly idols and sick prophets.

    And yes, this is troll, but troll in a good way. The kind that force your to think and re-evaluate your positions. Trolls that make the world move on! Trolls that make the world a better place!
