Personally, I think the idea has the same problems that cause most people to not list their phone #. AND the problems that DNS has [collisions]. AND it would require the phone companies to admin a DNS-esque server; Verizon can't even keep a T1 working for more than a month.
Sorry, MOST file swapping is very legitmate. Just because it turns out as a web page or an email doesn't change the fact that it is for all purposes file transfer, and could just as easily be used to transfer song encoding.
It's a blow to anyone who uses an ISP. You think it is trivial to keep and recall login records for ISP users? Do you think that cost will be paid for by the RIAA and not consumers (even legit consumers)?
I saw a racing game trailer, with north-star as the logo (hence what caught my attention). It was really flashy, nice lighting and translucency effects. Not sure about the actual gameplay, or the actual racing...
I attended college in 1995-97 and thus was one of the first classes that had ethernet to the dorm (iirc the university was 80% done at the time). MP3 usage was common, and got me into listening to a bunch of different music (and purchasing cds! *gasp*). It helped me pick up computers [or rather non-DOS/amiga computing] and learn networking. It helped me meet people around campus and make friends. It helped me play a perverbial shitload of quake.
Mainly though, it was really great at distracting me. I have... motivational problems:], so the internet connection (and to a lesser degree the lan itself) were hard to ignore when it came time to do homework, or go to class, or do the things I should be doing.
Granted, the things I learned by spending all of the time on the network make the core of my job today, and my major [not CS] was probably a poor choice to begin with. To sum up though, it depends on the sort of person you are. If you have an addictive personality, or have motivational problems, then an Internet connection will probably not benefit your education [though probably not your college experience]
I also have a SO 'attending' Phoenix, and having seen some of the required work, and the required courses for a few of their degrees, I cannot imagine how anyone can learn anything useful from them. Sure, if all you want is the degree (and most of their students do) it's speedy quick and easy.
I totally agree. I only omitted the fact that I find sexual content not obscene to clarify the argument. Personally I believe images and speech should be free, even "obscene" images and speech (within current limitations of libel/slander, copyright, "FIRE!", etc.). (in)Actions can be criminal, not thought (unless you have telepathy/telekinesis)
Hence why the law was struck down on the fact that it also outlawed violence. The judge (imo correctly) ruled that violent images are not obscene, and thus protected by the 1st amendment. Likely a similar law baring sexual content would stand (and afaik already exists in many places)
Sorry, not the highway system as much as using it for bargining. See another reply to my post regarding the Federal Government blackmailing State govs with highway funds.
I do not believe fiber to the home is a right. I believe that it might be in the future; certainly around the turn of the century our lawmakers didn't believe that everyone would own a car either...
I agree that local governments would be a much better orginization to do the last mile runs. Unfortunately every local government I've seen can't even get a school built by the time the current one is filled to 250% of design... (for example)
and I appologize for my poor and disjointed argument, I'm currently distracted:]
It will not be so bad.... People will devise a tool to get around it, just like they got around layer 4 filtering. Soon there will be * over HTTP, followed by layer 9 filtering, and so on and so forth until the end of the world.
Because the government has completely screwed the highway system?
Not the system itself, but they've used it as excessive leveridge (sp) to introduce things that are of questionable benefit. They get to say just who, and what, can drive on the roads. They can even mandate how the roads are driven on because it's a privilidge and not a right. Do you *REALLY* want your government to control who you can communicate with?
I do agree that the 'last mile' infrastructure should be made/controlled by an unbiased 3rd party, but whom? Should the last mile be the responsibility of the homeowner?
cygwin now has a usable X server for windows, so VMware is a little excessive. Just ssh into your other machine and export X to your windows machine. (Putty has X forwarding that works if your ssh client doesn't provide support for it)
There's a few nuance/quirks, but far less than VMware
Doesn't decss do the same thing your dvd player does to decrypt dvds? How can it be an illegal tool then? - unless of course any company making and selling a dvd player is doing something illegal...
QA is always the first group to be hit by timeline and resource cuts in order to 'maximize the bottom line'. Having QA staff capable of doing code auditing is $$$. Wasting programmers' time to do audits is (to suits) silly, as that's time that they could be using to create something else that can be boxed and sold.
In my experience this problem is even worse in larger companies where employees are looked upon as black box resources (to a greater degree).
Snort is to IDS what mysql is to SQL servers. Pretty good, and free when the commercial options are terribly expensive and largely overkill for most situations.
Apache is the dominant option. Snort is far from it.

Heh, you know what? I've never played GTA, and seeing a cop car with an open door makes me want to steal it.
And this has still been done for more than 3 years. (albeit not open source)
Probably the caffiene is twice as concentrated per wieght of the berry vs the bean...

At least that would be one case where people aren't crying 'save the children'!

The question of course, is if the press statement was made by a man wearing a hat made out of money...
OT: for those in SFbay, 92.7 is new; afaict not Clear Channel and nearly commercial free (5 mins at the top of the hour)
Paul Oakenfold is played every Sat night.
I don't see how recognition by a network known for not knowing the difference between art and a hole in the wall is in any way complimentary...

Except that small-medium businesses don't need big cisco routers. The little ones aren't even $1k these days.

Ahem. So assume a nice guy is going to port scan you; he calls up: "hey, I'm going to portscan your network, I'm so and so from such and such."
What would a bad guy do?
"hey, I'm going to portscan your network, I'm so and so from such and such" [lie]
The sys admin on the other end of the phone isn't going to know the difference, or behave any differently.

Ah, yes it is most definately without peer in the free software world.
Umm, no.

(though your original point is valid)
I had the same problem with my (*gulp*) dual athlon machine.
Solution: open case and a BIG FAN. Also of note, these things work great at keeping people cool too if you don't have AC or a pool to lounge in.
