Comcast is willing to sell you an access point "Connect up to 5 computers for $62.95/month....and you can do it without wires." They sell them, they offer support for them.. they in them selves are not theft of service.
Yeah, but if you hook up your own access point without paying them the big bucks...
It appears that if a valid explanation is given, such as 'I don't know how to secure my access point and my neighbors run wild on my connection,' then both Comcast and MGM will be happy.
IANAL, but there are laws about theft of service from cable companies. These were passed to prevent people from sharing their cable TV with their neighbours, but apply to their Internet service as well. Saying that you have an access point would be admitting to committing theft of service.
Of course, December 28 is also the day of the slaughter of the innocent children: King Herodes heard of the messias being born and sought to stem this threat to his throne, and, failing to find the actual child, ordered that all children under 2 years old in Bethlehem be put to death.
So here is what I'll do: When I am president, the first thing I will have is $100 billion job creation program. Then we'll go and look at the tax code. We'll take away any incentives for companies that want to outsource or leave the country. And we'll have incentives for companies to create jobs in here.
But we need to go beyond all of that. We really need a national goals program. Software was great, the technology and the information revolution was great, but there are a lot of technologies out there. We've got great scientists in this country. We need to set some national goals. We have the mechanisms to do it, put the research money in to basic and applied research and let those inventions and discoveries come out in intellectual property that we can use in this country to create employment.
Energy and environmental engineering are two very fertile areas for the growth of American jobs. CLARK: We want to be ahead of the software revolution. Let them do the software in India; we'll do other things in this country.
We can do that. All it takes is leadership.
So he's not quite as short-sighted as the original quote leads you to believe.
Now, this problem can conceivably be worked around as long as you're searching for bootleg.mp3, since one copy's as good as any other, but when you transfer the decentralized architecture over to Instant Messaging, and instead of looking for that mp3, you're looking for your chat buddy (IM_Pal, for example), one IM_Pal is not as good as another.
...except that IM_Pal's information would be replicated across many peers, so you would be able to find her anywhere. This of course presents authentication issues, but those could be solved using public key cryptography. The p2p system would store vCards for people, with their public key in them, signed with that public key (for integrity). Now the person on the other side of that vCard may or may not be who they say they are, but there are many ways of identity verification (call, mail, IM a question that only they can answer...).
mom: why isnt sound coming out? me: you stupid cunt, you have the sound muted, dont you see the red circle with the slash going through it on the speaker icon? jesus you are so stupid..
So, in short, do not update your Stable Apache installs to this development version!
Yer trolllin', but I'll bite. Apache does not use the even/odd version number scheme for 1.3. Any 1.3 release you may encounter is as 'production' as it is ever going to be, and it is this version that 63% of all web sites run on.
The 2.x development effort recently forked a 2.0 stable branch, with development happening on HEAD and fixes backported to the branch after review. The HEAD effort is usually referred to as 2.1, but no official releases have been made of this tree yet. There are plans to eventually promote the 2.1 effort to 2.2 and make releases of it. This would more closely follow the linux kernel version numbering scheme.
Circa 1985: I remember something called "the switcher" that would allow you to rapidly switch between desktops on the 512K macintosh.
That would be the MultiFinder. This program could divvy up the RAM of a 512Kb Fat Mac or 1Mb Mac Plus into up to four partitions that each held an application. Since all original Mac software was written for a 128kb machine, with like 20-50kb available to applications, a Mac Plus went a long way. The apps that were inactive were frozen in time: no actual multitasking occurred. I don't think (cooperative) multitasking arrived until System 6.
To divert this they have tried to reuse the commodore brand name previously.
I bought a bare (no preinstalled OS) Commodore Pentium 60 in 1995... I think I got it at Escom on PC Skid Row on the Ceintuurbaan in Amsterdam. The machine served me for years as the chicago.xs4all.nl UUCP node, but now sits in my attic gathering dust.
Looks like Escom does not exist anymore.
...but it seems to be a
special version of the CrystalEyes product. According to the Q&A page, you need a Radeon or geForce card; Rage is not supported. You also need a plain ole CRT display as opposed to one of the spiffy new LCD ones.
The result was Windows 95 and Apple had nothing to bite back with except Guy Kawasaki. They seem to have their act together a lot more these days. Let's hope that, by the time Longhorn is released, they're four years ahead again.

As you can read in this message, this is not a release but a Release Candidate. It was posted in the /dev/dist directory so testers can have at it.
Now, if all of you want to download and test this release, and report your findings back to the httpd-dev mailinglist, by all means go for it.
But this is not a release yet.

That's my number...
Why buy anything - when in 5 years these players will cost $19.95, be the size of an Altoids tin, and have 100GB capacity?
But will they be curiously strong?
And just wait till this shit starts happening to everybody's porn collection. People will be running amok in the streets.
Dude, you really should get out more.

vi or emacs?
For once, this is actually funny.
I use Linux on my dedicated web servers and love those machines to death.
Y'know... you DO realize that you need to get out more, do you?
I need to vent guys and here I hope I find sympathy!
Naah, don't think so.
Today I spent the good part of five hours helping a friend with a titanum powerbook put an 802.11 card in, she bought an
Did this by any chance involve copying a 17Mb file over the network?

On the other hand back in high school there was this girl that might have been the open source poster child...
So, did she end up with a lot of open sores?
Another update eliminated the photo viewing tool that had been previously installed with the OS.
That's not a bug, it's a DRM thing.
scientoligist (I can type that without gettin sued, right?)
If you spell it like that, sure why not.

Fortunately, your e-mail inbox is probably full of messages advertising various solutions.

Hopefully 'coders' would have to be licensed too, a requirement being that they be a civizen.
Aren't 'civizens' required to be able to spell correctly?
