Can someone please change em so they make ethanol? Please? (Not that I mind the taste of methanol, it just makes you go blind a lot quicker, and if that happens I can't find my glass).
For something free, have a look at a (dead) version of a napsteroid protocol I drew up when I had to much time on my hands. Distributed FileServer over Irc
Hmmm, wel it is in a moment. I just need to have a small talk with httpd... With a large aluminium bat.
Nah, they where hoping for advertising in the app. But with all the opensource apps popping up, they can forget the linux market anyway. But perhaps if they improve the windows client they can still get some revenue from that.
I've seen lotsa comments saying they can't kill it as long as the code is out, but I'm afraid that might not be true. The real problem (i think) is that they will go after the developers. I don't know how livid is on the people at the moment, but if they need someone with a little coding experiencee and no dvd drive, I'd love to help. But if you've got a dvd drive and more coding experience, you'd probably be more usefull. Even if they don't need people, develope some on your own, and distribute the changes!
I agree, it might be difficult. But at least a *very public* anti amazon comment would be nice. And how about just asking them not to? Nice for publicity anyhows.

Does anyone else find it hypocritical to be pretending to take some 'moral high ground' by posturing about refusing to use Amazon.com, while Jon Katz still sells his books through Amazon ?
So in public he pretends to be making a stance against this 'evil corporation' while still profiting from its sales of his books.
If there was anything other than rhetoric coming from Katz he might actually get some more respect around here.
So I guess there is the challenge. Boycott Amazon if you want, but actually do it, don't just pretend to be doing it. Forbid them from selling your book and lining your pockets, if you have any integrity.
Anyone can easily confirm this by a quick search at Amazon...

Most computers without win CD come with an easy restore cd, so most often that'll work. But if it doesn't, find another PC of the same type, and copy the disc. Or get a vendor boot disk. The PC isn't broken in any way.
There seems to be a lot of 'arrogant bastard' shouting around, so I thought I should add this:
I've listened to ~the first ten mins, and yes, BG seems a bit arrogant, but imho that's not a bad thing. He sounds like a lawyer, which as we all know *is* a bad thing, and we all knew his views on copyrights etc. So all in all this hasn't made my impression of him any worse....
48C? Get a new water heater. If it's the kind that stores the warm water, not only is it not really hot enough for washing up etc, but also, it's a breeding place for all kinds of germs...

Legally bought OS? No, wave a freely downloaded distro! (Not that I'm anti- selling distro's, but it's the thought that counts).

Just a wild stab. I won't touch anything that isn't digital. Yes, I make an exception for vga.

mp3 is both capable of joint stereo and seperate stereo.

You mean macrovision? Basicly. you just put in a $10 filter, and your good to go.

Hmmm, it does have a nice ring to it.

I stand corrected.
NT doesn't have a command.com, it has a cmd.exe
Yup, I completely agree. Afterstep all the way. That foot looks like it oughtta be in a mouth.

Can you say (or scream) redundant? I mean, yes, linux is nice. I run it too. But is that a reason for posting the devel versions on slashdot. Hell no!
Please, post all mirrors!

Apart from a few very old philips PC's, you can't kill a PC from software. So I assume you're talking bollocks, right?

Smell: None at all!
Hey, what about all that amiga isn't dead it just smells funny stuff? Is none funny? Yow.

Can't we have both the response letter and whapping them upside the head with a large, meaty salmon?...
Please?
Or in the words of jon katz:
/me runs and hides
Please die.
Unless the increase in stories is caused by katz posting more...
Illegal? And what about stoves? They can heat to 100c, are they illegal too? Sorry, but I have a hard time believing this...
48C? Get a new water heater. If it's the kind that stores the warm water, not only is it not really hot enough for washing up etc, but also, it's a breeding place for all kinds of germs...
average water heater is 60-80C.
