If you don't charge for your music, there is a non-commercial exemption. He's non-commercial. They're trying to shake him down anyway. In addition to which, he paid for the backing track in a way that allows reuse.
There is a non-commercial clause. He has in fact paid his source for the underlying music for the tracks. Additionally, BA Dave doesn't sell his music, he gives it away. They want money from him anyway. Seems pretty obvious to me.
The real problem is using WPA with pre-shared keys - that's what this can really do some damage with. That, and they used it to set up a fake root CA. Um, this is almost a month old. WTF? Slashdot: Where you hear it last!
. So getting your content via the Internet is not exactly free, but it certainly isn't contributing to Time Warner or any other cable providers' revenue stream.
It doesn't? They don't pay Time Warner for access to the internet, their own subscribers? In fact, this provides a way for them to cut costs - they're already paying for the bandwidth, and some people are going to download the shows anyway. Win / win from their standpoint.
That's the key - Cogent was CLEARLY in the wrong. They agreed to a paid trial, which they failed. No contract existed for free, or really any kind of peering. Sprint kept the peering up with them anyway - for a YEAR without a contract, billing them for services just like they would any customer, and when Cogent refused to pay, Sprint did the right thing and gave them 30 days notice that they would de-peer them for failure to pay their bill - FOR A YEAR!!!
Sprint only made one HUGE mistake - they didn't understand what the impact to their wireless business would be, and they didn't notify customers as a result, according to my guy on the inside at Sprint.
Please support the Linux community, by releasing your games in ways that allow us to use them without having to 'hack' around to get them to work, I.E. wine.
I don't care if you don't cough up the code. I don't mind paying to play. I mind having to use the virus known as Windows.
I have intentionally stayed the hell away from anything about the game in the press. I loved SC1 and _still_ play it. Does anyone know if there will be Linux support this time around? I haven't had a box running Windows for many, many years. I don't want to have to buy Cedega on top of it, but I guess I may have to.
Also, is there a release date yet?
I ask here because I DON'T want to go to the website and get everything spoiled before I even get the game.:(
I wish I had balls that big. I also hope they win. It would be awesome to legally be able to run OS X on the hardware of MY choice, rather than Apple's.
Yes. That's what this is. The only GOOD spammer is a _dead_ spammer. Perhaps if we started killing their families (START with their children, preferably slowly, and painfully, in front of them) before we killed them, others would stop doing it.
Frankly, when I see a ticket come into the helpdesk system (which I used to run before I started doing interesting things) which says, "My email is broken" and all tickets are submitted to our helpdesk via email, then yes - the user IS an idiot.
When we get tickets that say, "There are arrows in the porter" when the person (a manager, no less!) is trying to say "There are errors in portal" then yes, the user IS an idiot.
Rather than complaining that overworked and beleaguered helpdesk folks are rude, why don't you try not being a fucking moron for once?
MOD PARENT UP! What's WRONG with you idiots? That's the man himself, saying EXACTLY the kind of thing that makes him a perfect fit for the job he's asking for! -1 Troll? What are you people smoking?

Incorrect.

Totally wrong.

Cat6 works better if you want Gig-E to the desktop. You may be on 100Mbit/s now, but for how long?

But what if NO peering agreement existed to begin with? Sprint gave Cogent a YEAR - how much more notice do they need???

Thank you, that is all.

Boy was I surprised!
Hans is an ass, but at least I can explain what Hans did. Spammers have no right to exist.
Sorry, I'm too busy fucking your mother.
I work in Chicago. Let me know if you'd like to meet and tell me that in person.
I'm the pussy, and you're the anonymous coward?
Fuck you, fucking pussy.
Yes. That's what this is. The only GOOD spammer is a _dead_ spammer. Perhaps if we started killing their families (START with their children, preferably slowly, and painfully, in front of them) before we killed them, others would stop doing it.
Oh yeah, oh yeah, kill all the spammers!
Mod me down if you like, but DEATH to all spammers. I'm glad he took his crotch-fruit with him, so they won't grow up to spam like daddy.
Nah - 640Mb should be enough for anybody... :-)

I met him at FlatCon one year, though admittedly, I spent most of the Con drooling over Chainmail Girl.
