Thats the thing. giFT isn't a replacement (yet) for FastTrack, it was a (reverse engineered) way of using that network. That way you got access to the same searches and files, but it ran on Linux, and didn't require the ad filled client. If development had continued, I am sure that the super node bit would have been implemented. As it is now, there hadn't been any incentive to continue. Maybe now it will, and will replace KaZaa, Morpheus etc in the coming months.
Yes, No and Yes. But you're too late. By having changed the FastTrack protocol, that network is now off limits, and as other posters have pointed out, opened themselves to a Napster style shutdown.
Gift on its own would still work, but it relies on super nodes which aren't yet there. Also to avoid a single point of faliure (aka master server), a sufficient number of clients would be required.
At an early stage of development, giFT looked randomly for FastTrack users on the 24.x.x.x network. Because at least 1% of people used it, it was easy to find a server. Until 1% use giFT, that ain't gonna happen.
Quite right. I wonder if the RIAA has been planning this for a while, or if they only thought that they could succeed since Fasttrack changed its protocol.
Yep thats what I'm going to do and for pretty much the same reasons. Playing Urban Terror last night I realised how at a loss I was by not being able to pin point sounds. Not only that but I imagine I'll piss the wife off a lot less.
Does anyone have any recommendations for a pair that will keep the sounds in, but won't totally dissociate myself from my surrondings? The lighter the better, too.
I've started seeing this with RtCW. At first I thought it might be because of my Matrox G400, or even something to do with XFree86. Looks like it isn't. I haven't been able to get rid of it.
Nothing in my system looks similar to yours, except perhaps the network adaptor: Debian, 512 Rambus PC600 (yuck), Intel 840(probably) motherboard, probably Intel Pro/100S Ethernet adapter, Single P3 733, on board i8x0 sound (double yuck), fast IBM hd of some description. (In case you're wondering, its an IBM intellistation)
If somebody is setting the computer up for you, they can tell you that to get a letter with an accent, press the magic key then the key then the accent. It is not a hard concept to grasp. It is intuitive and if you need to type something in French then you can use the same technique. And you are not at a disadvantage by being tied to a non standard keyboard if you go to school/work/the library/etc.
Compose n ~ is a hell of a lot more intuitive than alt + 0241 (no not those numbers, those over there) wouldn't you say? Plus that alt trick doesn't even work under X at least.
And why put them at a disadvantage compared with every one else in their country (in this case Canada with its own messed up keyboard needs;)?
Yóü dòñ't néèd á sêíâl kë¥bøarð!, just the compose key which is normally mapped to the right hand windows key or scroll lock. Worth its weight in gold.
You're out of date, mate. You can already share files, and there is a hack to do multisource downloads. There is already a gui which uses it, as well as the 'official' Java gui. And the correct link is here
The nicest thing is no spyware, not even registration. It is as good as napster ever was for music, plus films, software, etc.
The "poor system administrators" were indeed very poor system administrators if they were bitten by code red/nimda. That fact is no hours were taken away from them because they were doing their jobs of patching and maintaining servers, whether before they were hit or afterwards.
And what can be treasonous and victimless at the same time?
Or you could use a passport, or your new driving license with photo. You do have one of those, right?
The thing is, I have been stopped by police asking for ID far less (ie 0 times) in the UK, where people are not expected to carry these things, than in other countries where it is required by law.
Lets see. You've been watching this coverage non stop for 12 days now, but you couldn't possibly work out how much damage was done until you saw this diagram?
You'll be doing them a favour. They will probably have enough opportunities to speak Spanish, but would appreciate having their computer speak the language of the land, so to speak.
6 Years ago, I left England to live in Spain. At the beginning I didn't speak a word of Spanish, but on my first day of work I sat down with the freshly released Win95 in Spanish. I'd never seen it before (I had been used to Sparcs and SunOs previously;) but it helped me memorise my first few words of Spanish... Salir, Buscar, dame dos cañas, por favor, etc.
Seeing the same words repeated over and over is really a very useful thing, and if they're going to learn something new, it really is better to learn it in the language they will be speaking.
Of course, make sure you set up and teach them how to use the compose key to enable non accented keyboards write accents. Very important if they do need to write in Spanish.
Anyway, to have it speak Mexican spanish, set LANG and LC_ALL=es_MX, in/etc/profiles and in the X startup stuff. Make sure your locales are setup properly (ie in/etc/locales). And as an added bonus set up Netscape/Mozilla etc to use Spanish ahead of English for those pages which support that stuff (eg Google, Debian, Sourceforge)
nothign surprising here, basically they say that RTLinux is violating the GPL by not releasing the source to their Linux kernel mods
I know the moderators are fond of crack but I didn't realise that Taco was as well.
This has absolutely nothing to do with withheld source code, and everything to do with the use of a Patent "to impose restricted terms on distribution of a GPL-covered program".
I don't think anybody is going to forget this happened.
I do think that nobody is going to see that web page before knowing anything about this tragic incident. Putting up a web page a day later isn't telling anybody what has happened.
And lets be honest. If you want news you either turn on the TV, listen to the radio, or read the newspaper, read any of the above's websites, or speak to someone who has.
Not go to some guys website who has a macabre collection of pictures taken from the aforementioned sites. As I said before, Ambulance chasing.
What exactly do you hope to achieve by doing this? Don't you think that people are able to understand what has happened without having to see it for themselves? Do you have a morbid curiosity for death, or are you just a huge karma whore?
Use XFce then. Especially in combination with ROX-Filer. The two fly. They use the GTK toolkit, and work well with the rest of gnome, but are much much faster.
Slashdot Mirror
Why don't you use something else then? I recommend XFce. It has that fine CDE look, but it is much faster and safer.
The Appian Gemini cards use the Savage/MX chipset. The Jeronimos use 3Dlabs Permedias. I still prefer a good G400, me.

I would suggest a combination of reasons 1 and 3. Quite how they thought they would avoid this suit by turning themselves into a Napster is beyond me.

Type "only nineteen" with the inverted commas into Google and then click on the "Cache" link.

Or click here, but be warned how easy it is to hide goats in Google cache links.

Yellow text on a blue background is supposed to be best, but I would worry more about the font size than colours.
