  1. Re:I'm not surprised on Court Docs Reveal Kazaa Logging User Downloads · · Score: 1

    I've used traditional P2P to download literally thousands of things, recieved not a single cease and desist order. Used bittorrent to get maybe a hundred things, recieved 1 cease and desist order. Bittorrent is a lot easier to track because there is far less noise to wade through as people generally don't put up torrents of every single jpeg and windows audio file that happens to be on their hard drives.

  2. Re:glad i never used kazaa on Court Docs Reveal Kazaa Logging User Downloads · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure just about everyone would be more than willing to get everything for free if they could. I don't see that happening anytime soon.

  3. Re:So... on Court Docs Reveal Kazaa Logging User Downloads · · Score: 1

    Only problem is the way most P2P apps work is while you're downloading you're also uploading what part you have to everyone else.

  4. Re:still will have novelty value on Man Reportedly Jailed for Using Lynx · · Score: 1

    You're required to accept for all debts public and private. When you're trying to buy something you're not in debt to them yet, so they don't have to take them. On the other hand if you owe someone $5,000 dollars, and you don't like them much, feel free to pay them in pennies.

    Don't worry, even though you're only 21 now, in a few years you'll be able to experience the beauty of pregnancy.

  6. Re:Light Speed Travel on Blazing Speed: The Fastest Stuff In The Universe · · Score: 1

    You couldn't do such a trip in just 10 minutes because our solar system would have moved a significant distance in 1000 years. If you simply shot out at 99.99% of the speed of light and then back again you could possibly be a light year or more away from the then current location of Earth.

    You should upgrade to EGA, CGA is so behind the times man.

  8. Re:More white bread, please! on AI Bots Pick The Hits of Tomorrow · · Score: 1

    I think it all has to do with intent. If you are actually trying to express yourself through creative means then it is art. But if you're just rehashing the same crap over and over because you know it will sell then it's not art, and you're not an artist.

  9. Re:Maybe.... on CT High Court Rules GIS Data Can Be Kept Secret [UPDATED] · · Score: 1

    Yes, because we all know little kids carry USGS maps around with them at all times to prevent them from falling prey to the countless millions of geographical pitfalls around them.

    Oh my, what I would do for mod points right now.

    The people of Jupiter would like to point out that our planet is bigger than yours. Take that Earthlings.

    Duke Nukem Forever? That game won't be out for at least another 15 years after that.

    Dropping cells to a freezing temperature doesn't kill them if they have some kind of anti-freeze in them to prevent actual freezing. Some animals are able to produce natural anti-freeze.

  14. Re:damn it.... on Four-Dimensional Rubik's Cube Craziness · · Score: 1

    Take it completely apart, mix up the pieces and and put it together with your eyes closed. It should be fairly random.

    Pudge, please don't use the slashdot main page to send me messages.

  16. How about go through proper channels? on Blow the Whistle, Lose Your Job? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    When you're at work you're acting as an agent of your employer. You should always go through your proper chain of command until the situation is resolved. The last step in the chain being law enforcement.

    timothy didn't write it, if you're going to bash anyone for the innnacuracy bash the anonymous guy. If you just want to bash timothy for something do so for things he actually did.

    Ya could just stroll on over to housewares and throw a bunch of stuff in that microwave they have on display.

    Why is he bothering to add to a submission when the rules specifically state you are to create as many duplicate stories as possible?

  21. My name on Power Laws, Weblogs, and Your Given Name · · Score: 1

    My first name is a fairly common one, but my last name is fairly rare. Of course my Grandfather on my Father's side was adopted, so pretty much anyone with my last name that I don't already know isn't related to me. (My Grandfather's birth surname is very popular)

    I move locations occasionally at work and I just email all my documents to myself None of them are important enough to save to a floppy every night, it's merely a timesaver for me.

  23. Re:Card to card transfers? on Cashless Society · · Score: 1

    There's a Subway on my school's campus, and they take our cards. I like the whole card setup, we can use them to buy books, use any of the vending machines on campus, eat in the many cafeterias. They work at all the different campus around the state. Much more convenient than cash.

  24. Re:are you forced on Microsoft Sends Broken Stylesheets to Opera · · Score: 1

    Notice I said "If you want to". If that condition is met, then you are indeed 'forced' to use hotmail. I never said anything about being force to play the game.

    Responding to this one instead of the other because you used your karma bonus to post this.

    If you want to play a game that uses the zone, then yes you are being forced.
