Good point. Buying used cd's shouldn't show up on their sales reports. Selling your used cd's will help increase the supply so that people won't have to buy new ones! Plus it will give you some extra cash. I am currently selling my entire collection on Half.com, it's a great system.
Man, whatever you do, don't install it. For a.5 upgrade, it totally fscked my webbrowsing. All the animated gifs broke.. They became all _Flashy_ and half loaded. Rollovers would reload the page, and lots of other annoying things.
In any security system, there is always a weak link. In this case, I would guess that the weakest link is the client's machine. Ryan said that clients could access their account from a cyber cafe. I don't see how they can hope for a secure system with such lapses in security. It
is very reasonable to expect that that machine
could be bugged and tracking the clients every movement. How could a clients data be secure on HavenCo's servers if the client doesn't have a secure machine?
Think of all the times you _had_ to take down a web page because it had misinformation, because it broke a copyright or some other reason... I have already had this problem with google, I think it'll be even worse w/ this service.
This is just completely out of control. Didn't they know that we have "Balls of Steel(tm)"? How can they "Prey(tm)" on their helpless users like that? They need to "Come get some(tm)" sanity from slashdot users.
- Pentium Class PC running Linux. - RedHat 6.1 or higher is the recommended baseline (read-tested) other distributions should work provided they support the following: - RPM package management - glibc 2.1.2 or higher - X Server running at 16bit or better, with a minimum resolution of 800x600. - An X Font Server that supports TrueType fonts. - At least 35 Megs of disk space (in/usr/local to be exact). - GTK 1.2.6, but if you don't have it, our install process will try to install it for you.
if you check out isonews.com you'll see that there are all sorts of DVD Movies listed available for download in Movie swapping forms... Granted, these are not exact copies.. they are lossy compressed so that they can fit on 1 or 2 regular cdrom.. They are using the new DiVX format (combo of mpg and wmp)... if you check out how they encode all these, the first step is getting DeCSS
As much as I support DeCSS and the ability to reverse engineer things, your argument is not as strong as you think it is...
I get $5 bucks if you buy the book from my link.... It will help fund my education. You can fund your education through half.com as well by Joining their affiliate program.... ok ok.. sorry.
Well.. the buy link wasn't working.. so I went to half.com where I bought it for $1.19... free shipping if you buy two more. .
I would add linux-embedded to the list.

Get QNX For Free

· Score: 1
I was just playing with my I-Opener. I wiped out QNX for LEM. I only had 16 megs of Flash memory to hold the OS. The LEM disttribution I installed had X windows, ssh, links, mpg123, and other typical linux stuff. I am quite impressed!
Hehe.. since I got a digital answering machine, I get a lot of telemarketers who come on after a very short message of mine. I get like 2 messages a day that say somethings like this ".. Hello.... Hello....... Hello... " hehe. I think they have to upgrade...
So what is the deal with her relationship with her brother? She is hot and all, but not if you're her brother. The two of them have been seen pratically making out... Can someone please stop her!
God and Rob know I reload the homepage often enough to see every story come in.. It would be nice to just bump everything up to the homepage for us power users!
and they are requesting the music they want to hear.... sorta like my.mp3.com, but they don't even have to own the music. But, if you call it a radio station and stream it over the internet, does that mean you don't have to pay for it?
"Mattel, which sells Cyberpatrol, said the toy giant had acquired the copyright to "cphack" from the two cryptoanalysts who published it on their website earlier this month in a settlement agreement signed on March 24. " It almost seems like Mattel admitted that they didn't have the copyright to the software.
So does this statement hold up in court, or is the GPL ruined? Are we going to see more GPL programs get bought out and removed from market? It does ensure that it is redistributable, doesnt' it?
It nice and fast, but it's not what altavista used to be as far as searching. Remember how easy and fast it was to search news groups in the old altavista? Are there any sites like that now? I just want one place to search everything, without the bulkyness and dumbing down of some sites!!!
Typical Micro$oft tactic. Scare away developers by announcing that they're coming into this space.
And from what I heard yesterday, I think this will work... Hear is a hint: You will NEVER see a Micro$oft Streaming Media Player that actually works for Linux!
The example of code optimization they gave was a DVD player. After the first frame, pretty much all the needed code optimizations where completed and stored for the movie.
The time it takes to re learn the optimization is very very short when compared to power on/off cycles.
All we need is a list of all sites on some server, and clients w/ the blocking software installed. The clients would just report weather or not they could access the urls....
Though, it doesn't seem like it is all the cpu intensive, so, I'd think it could be done w/ a couple of computers and big pipe..

I guess that is why they were so quick.. And I almost believed that guy who said they were faked!

Why the fuck must your splash screen request be encrypted?

BMG is "Bertlesmann Music Group" .. no? So, only 3 I would say.
