Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't Peerguardian just stop incoming and outgoing connections to it's list of banned IPs? If so, how does this stop a member of the **AA from connecting to a tracker and simply receiving the list of all the IPs connected to that torrent... How does it make a difference?
The tracker is what facilitates the download, the person who runs the tracker has set it up with the intent to share the specific file being shared. The tracker site is typically also the root of all the sharing through being a base seeder as well. So, basicly this brings things back to the days of piracy over public FTP and HTTP download sites, just attack the one facilitating the downloads.
Man, you're so wrong. The tracker only hosts the.torrent files, if that! It's primary roll is to just keep a database of who is sharing what as that is the information the bittorrent client's request from it. This is why it's so hard for the MPAA to crack down on them, as it basically does the job of google but for a specific audience. It doesn't host or upload or share any copyright material, it just tracks those that do.
with this new found optimism i am now installing it \o/

I've just installed SharpDeveop to have a tinker and when it runs I am getting a shit load of errors based around a missing zip file. No wonder people would prefer to use Delphi, if it actually works!
Don't forget, there's probably a clause in the license which lets them sue you if you ever look at their source and then go on to build something with similar functionality. Nice "open-source" license you got there, pal.
You can't have a go at someone purely for something you are speculating about. Look at the license then see if their is a similar clause and quote it, then you can legitimatly have a pop at Microsoft for it. Otherwise you're just being a stupid prick jumping on the "lets hate Microsoft" band wagon with the hope of impressing some equally retarded geeks!
There is no publically known MD5 hash collision. While it's rumored that one or more is known, it's never been confirmed. While MD5 is thought to be weaker than SHA-1, saying that MD5 has a "vulnerability" is going a bit too far.
incorrect, md5 hash collisions occur all the time in ed2k/overnet
No - this is a business distro, so users' PHBs will choose. And they will predictably choose to refuse to let their users install anything that's not on the UserLinux CD. That means their users will not be able to use any Qt applications, since Perens hath decreed that not even the libraries shall be included.
If you are using a workstation that your PHB has chosen for your job, then that's a part of your job that you'll have to deal with, compare it to having to fill in a form in block capitals with black ink, when your favourite pen has blue ink, if UserLinux and GNOME are chosen by the PHB it should still be possible to adequatly use it to get the work done, if for some reason its not possible then there are bigger issues at stake with respect to the PHB and whatever analysis was done.
Not if you are *forced* by your companys IT dept. to use the only linux distribution they will support. A vast majority would not even know there are other linux distributions!!
If you are *forced* to use something by your companies IT department, then you are forced to use it. This also carries across to whether they force you to use Windows, or GNOME or KDE under another distro.
If the company feels that UserLinux and GNOME are better for the company than Suse and KDE then so be it.
'Battlestar Galactica' returns in a new four hour mini-series on the Sci-Fi channel this Monday. However, there has been fan furor over some changes to the story. Aluminum Cylon enemies look more like humans, complete with feelings, including one with rabid sexual desires, and the quest is not for a mythical Earth, as it no longer exists.
It was CLEARLY a tongue in cheak statement, due to Yahoo trying to block other third party messaging clients, they are now banding together and sharing resources in order to beable to access Yahoo's network again. As such Yahoo have inadvertantly 'fostered' a good relationship between the different third party vendors.

As I'm sure you are aware the HL2 community is going crazy with the rumour that HL2 is going to be like a MMORPG and you will have to pay a fee each month via Steam to play HL2 multiplayer.
I don't believe this to be true but can you please put it to rest once and for all. PLEEEEEEASE.

Here's my current thinking: Some people want to buy Half-Life 2 in a store. Right now we have three SKUs planned at three price points. One will have single-player only and not play MODs and we think of that as the mass market SKU (sold mainly at the Costcos and Walmarts of the world). The second is our traditional single-player plus multiplayer SKU that runs MODs and is sold at places like EBX. The third is the collector's edition SKU with lots of cool bonus stuff for people who like cool bonus stuff.
In the Steam world, some people will want to buy it once, like the middle SKU above. Other people will want to buy the game on subscription (e.g. $9.95/month). The good news for the "buy it once" crowd is, well, they only have to pay once. The bad news is that when we come out with new content (expansion products, TF 2, and presumably other games) then they have to pay separately for those. We're pretty sure that the $9.95 guys are going to get the better value, as we've been pretty good over the years at generating a lot of content.
Now nobody has done this before, so we're scratching our heads and massaging the plans to make sure we've got the best set of options. We've had some feedback that we should sell the top SKU (single-player only no MODs) on Steam, and my reaction has been "yeah, right, for the three people in the world who have a broadband connection, are sophisticated enough to purchase software over the Internet, but DON'T want to play MODs and multiplayer". Some people have said "I want a subscription, but I think the box and the manual are cool, so what about sending me those" and I think that's pretty interesting and we're trying to figure out what to do for them (needless to say Sierra isn't exactly jumping for joy at the idea of selling us boxes so people don't buy Half-Life 2 in stores).
But nowhere has there been a suggestion that people pay in the store and then pay a monthly fee on top of that a la the MMORPG.
for people interested in getting into Linux but are not ready for formatting and installing Linux themselves. It gives them a taster for what it could be like! Bravo!
Read the article more carefully. The guy tried to get a job with Tata Consulting, an Indian-owned firm operating in the USA that places staff at USA-based clients. They apparently refused to hire him for this work in the USA because they do not hire Americans. Only then did he try to work in India, which is the less interesting aspect.
The interesting bit about the guy trying to work in India, is that they don't allow foreigners in to work, i.e. it is fine for all the Indian's to go to other countries and leach work, but it is not ok for people to go to India to get work. Capeche?:)
See:
"It would be really interesting to work in Bangalore," he says. "But I was told, 'Daniel, it is against the law for you to work here. You can come here on vacation, but you can't work here.'"
While it is of concern that Tata Consulting have a racist policy against the country that they are employing people in, I think India's policy is pretty shit too!

Then it should include both so USERs can choose.
Noone is being forced to use UserLinux, anyone that wants to use KDE can just use any of the other distros that support it. USERs still can choose.
From there, things get different. Starbuck, the hotshot fighter pilot played by Dirk Benedict in the original, is now a woman played by Katee Sackhoff
They can't just make Starbuck a woman :cry:
The show appears to be darker, sexier and a lot less escapist than the original.
Oh, that's ok then, as long as we get to see tits being squashed together in crappy lycra suits!

"That's highly subjective. What is a developer?"
Someone who is paid for the purposes of developing an application.
