why not set up a site outside of the fire wall which zips the data and sends it to the web browser which then unzips it, all the information would be harder to sensor because the 'proxy' machine would ahve to depcompress the file then go through it. although they could always just block that site but if a lot of sites do it it would be eaiser just to make the Internet and Chinanet with no gateways between the two....
and I doubt it would take much more coding into like mozilla to handle the file that way or an apache module to send the data that way.
I have played lan games after school at my old high school in NJ. It wasn't sponsered by the school we just knew the one kid that worked as assisstent IT director because he was in our classes and he wanted to play with us. We played all kinds of games through out high school, Duke Nukem, Quake 2, UT, Quake 3 and Urban Terror and anything else we could get lots of copies of. Now they just do it after school pretty much everyday execpt for the days that the lab is needed after school till around 5 in the afternoon. No one cares because every with half a brain knows that it takes more than video games,if they affect them at all, to make people kill.
Well I dunno if you paid attention to that plot or not but you were SUPPOSE to beable to break the laws of physics. You know it was pretty much the base of the entire movie and why they were special.
In my opinion there is two kinds of piracy and neither are right.:
First it the WaReZ kiddies that have to have everything without spends anymore than the cost of a cdr which no matter what you'll never stop. The amount of warez kiddies are realitivly small in comparrison to the other group.
And then there are those who use pirated software as a cheaper alternative in the home. This is done by warez kiddies giving people pirated copies of software because they want it but complain that it is expense. It is also done by some (don't troll me if you aren't part of this group) technology savy people to get others to start using technology by making it cheaper to start out.
All in all Piracy is wrong but some companies flat out deserve every dollar they lose because they don't understand the sociological effects of the price of thier software. So seeing as to the amount of piracy going up can only be blamed on the software distributors them selves for thier own cost push inflation of prices because it obviously is not the demand that keeps driving the price of software up because people feel its not worth that much and pirate it.
I dunno about you but I never thought that many people would pay money for the use of everquest and other such online gaming.. in fact I was turned off to everquest by the paying to use it online I guess it might be worth checking out if it is making that much money... I mean geezz they have to be doing something right..
It not only could it be used to make some pages better but it would also be interesting to see how it would dumb down legal jargon such as laws to see if the average person can read them without banging thier head against the wall repeatedly over a parking ticket
I always compile the kernal myself because it runs just that much smoothly espeically after you read the documentation on howto compile the kernel which is not rocket science. The changelogs aren't hard to read for most slashdot people but I can see where the other person talks about the common folk but 9 times out of 10 the parts they can't read don't even refer to something that they would even have turned on anyway
I have a big download to do to test out the distro for myself because whats good for the goose is not always good for the gander. Such as Linux from scatch to a Linux Newbie coming from Mac OS 9. Sometimes it just sucks
Another big reason not to squash the P2P servers is because usually transferring files within the university network more efficient causing it to go faster because it easies up on the external hand off, which for most university is very slow and expensive.
Granted P2P does supply a breeding ground for piracy, but in the p2p programs that have chat capabilities it provides another community where information can spread such as concerts and fundraisers. It becomes a local internet community which is something that really hasn't really been seen before
yes XP is very pretty but after using betas on other people's machines and seeing the list of headaches aka features. I feel that it is a set towards AOL. Only XP can't do what AOL 6 does by over writtening th TCP IP protcol making 90% LAN networking almost impossible.
Because we all know that most of the illegal MP3's are in colleges which are now mostly private ips with firewalls. Those that aren't just see how many people you can get to DoS the RIAA back. I doubt that the MP3's they do delete will be anything more than 3 idiots using Microsoft file sharing
Whoa this should be good but for how long now that its on/. ?? hopefully the have some hard core bandwidth and servers. only time will tell I'll have my fingers crossed for them
True True if you have a fast connection, but if you have a modem wtf you going to do download it at 2 am till 2am 2 days later?? Having it at a wal-mart is a convience and also supports the cause monetarily.
I know what you mean I almost did that at least 5 times, call me stupid but I think a white box with a check or no check should be a standard for selecting or not selecting things because if you don't understand that you are too stupid to be deciding something
Hmm I guess this means its a good thing that I didn't buy the MySQL book because its all going to change. I hope that the differnces aren't very complicated to interchange between so that the people who are familar with MySQL now aren't going crazy tring to retrain their brain for the new versions. But its only a hope.
My hope for the Sega Dreamcast isn't lost because no matter what I can atleast make it a cheap little webserver. Although everytime I update it I have to burn a new cd but its a small price to pay for a compact webserver that you can play really nice games on.
I go to a major East Coast University that I must keep a secret to keep my
job as a Dorm Networking Student which has blocked all Nimba requests. Though
this may seem difficult and or stupid to some people. But it is more for
a public service because within one hour of the block there was 1 million
request to go outside of the university.
This is a lot for just an hour. Networks Admins should offer the updates to
fix the worms and viruses over the LAN instead of blocking the Internet.
Although offering the fixes seems easier than dealing with the Internet blocks
and the employees you anger by this. I think more than anything corporations
are just trying to get an excuse to block the Internet so they can increase
productivity.
My biggest praises of Linux Mandrake is that is is easy to install, it looks
very nice, it is easy to learn to use. On the other hand you can still do
things the same old ways if you chose to do so.
my first experince with linux was Red Hat 5.1 on a 486 with a SCSI cdrom
drive, it took me 7 hours just to get to the cd rom part of the installion
because I had to read and tamper with the scsi settings because I didn't
know them. and now that box still runs perfect. I'll admit it was hard and
I had no one to ask.
Now I do my installions of linux with out asking, but we are coming upon
an age of new linux users or people who wanna be linux users who have never
partitioned thier hard drive before, reinstalled windows because they accidently
crashed it beyond repair, and have little or no desire to read into it. which
is a very big reason why people are recommending Linux Mandrake to newer
users because it gives the one of the easiest installtions and most intuative
methods of use I've seen. If I am wrong about that tell me and I will stand
corrected.
One last thing I said I like mandrake because I am lazy for one fact
because I like to mess around with the settings and everything else after
its installed at my leisure not during an installion all at once
no I just frankly don't have the time to spend 6 hours in vi because once I get it all done and the way I want it a few of my friends who are linux beginners call and ask how to fix things, like can you imagine tring to help people who have never even used dos on a werid debian installtion? its pain statking and I respect that of you for enjoying that. but I like mandrake and I like using. and teachign linux is fun because it is almost impossible to use linux without starting to mess with configurations. I would rather have that be after installion than during installion. that way I don't have to leave my phone off the hook to go to sleep when a distro has a new version because I live in a dorm.
is it me or have other people noticed that everyone that called linux whatever version Red Hat was on example linux 6.2 have none moved on to Mandrake? I dunno I might just be seeing a small group of ignorant people does anyone know of differnt bigger groups of ignorant people?
How is the government going to know if software I write for myself is encrypted or if its just Proprietary Software Protocalsending data back and forth in fonts in a row as text instead of plain text. THEY CAN'T this whole idea, I feel is for a false sense of security.

Even though you can argue this both ways and this arguement is far from over....
SCORE ONE FOR SANITY!!

Isn't there a paypal account they also had were you could donate them money? Maybe if it was more visible more people would donate a buck or two
