They have to transport that stuff. Preferred method is rail which puts it thru my area about 10 miles from me. If they go by truck it's on the PA turnpike. Either way it has to go thru PA. of the two I'd like to see it go by train. Unless they close the turnpike down when they ship it.
Yeah but how is that NOt dependent on otehr countries? All it takes is the 3 or 4 bandwidth providers they have to be shut down and HavenCo goes bye bye.
My drug bust reference was not saying that if your neighbor gets busted you get implicated. It means that if you get busted, as a small time dealer, the state is going to offer you a deal, because really, getting one small time dealer off the street is a waste. So they want your dealer's dealer.
Your MS analogy is flawed, since in the original post I assumed that access was permitted and allowed. What you are stating here is an illegal entry in a system.
You ISP point is also flawed, as again I am assuming the 15 people downloading are doing so from a friend and not a ISP. if it weren't for the access the 15 had, they'd not be downloading ( well they would but stick with me), and because of this the RIAA will want to get the bigger fish. it'll make bigger headlines if it's "Joe Public was busted for providing bandwidth to 15 people" than if it's "15 people busted for swapping".
if only it were that simple.
While I'll agree that drug tests for regular jobs is a bit much, there has to be some kind of gov't intervention with certain other jobs. Unless you'd like for pilots or train engineers to be high on coke.
Plus you assume that someone who uses drugs is in a rybber room with no contact with anyone. Perhaps drug use should be treated like alcohol use. Okay in your house but as soon as you go in public or drive a vehicle you get slapped down.
So youa re saying that if a smackhead new exactly how much to take to get high but not OD, AND had pure smack, he'd not wanna take another hit as soon as the high started to wear off?
How long? It's happening now. I could go to your local police station and claim that you stole $item. You'd say no, I have proof of purchase, and show it to the cops. They'd tell me to go away.
And here we see the state of health care. You've got enough cash to buy eight laptops, wireless cards, wireless infrastructure, and server software for whatever meaningless task you're doing with them (quake), but you're too cheap to buy batteries.
I agree, just buy 6 laptops and a bunch of spare batteries.
Well not exactly Pittsburgh but my old school Cal U is getting federal funds to build a mag lev to transport students from Off campus apartments to school. I wa s there in 93-97, so I am not sure how far the off campus apt's are from school.
I hate Joe, I know Joe uses comcast cable and has a limit of somewhere in the viscinity of 5 GB per month up/down plan and pays through the nose for anything extra. I have an unlimited plan. So to screw Joe over I just ping him all day. Not enough to DoS him or anything, just enough so that at the end of the month I've used about 50+ GB of his bandwidth and he never even knows!
That's a lot of pinging. What's the size of a ping packet? 56 bytes?
On the one hand you want a service that is financially secure, and if uisng comemreicals makes them so, so be it. On the other hand ClearChannel is evil.

I doubt that Amtrak will handle the transportation.

But why does it have to go faster than 65?
GTA3 and a webserver farm at the same time is not going to happen. You have to shutdown the linux to get to the game side of the PS2

how do you get it to use a TV for output instead of a monitor?
in a word yes. They will sue all 15 people and they will point to you. Sorta like when some one is busted for drugs....

okay so education will stop someone from OD'ing?

What other online media outlets are in the same situation?
Yeah I have to agree, when I got to that part I kinda just tuned out. He sounds so bitter, "we promote and lose money and and whine whine whine"
I don't mean to be negative but....how many people download oggs? or use oggs in their RIO's?
Your life is gonna suck, and then when the project fails and they downsize ya, well I hope ya have savings.
In tears because???
He wasn't able to get people to pay him?
You mean the 'independent' webcaster is gonna go away?
I agree, just buy 6 laptops and a bunch of spare batteries.
Screw HIPAA. Screw PPS. Damn government.

You could tell him, "hey you scratch it, it's gone, no more game." After the 3rd or 4th loss he'll learn to take better care of things. He's 7 not 2.
