Yes, i do agree with mckelveyf, AG does have a built in security filter. Actually, AG does receive support from various artists that are displayed as "Hosted Artists" when you try a search. ( i believe these artists actually donate some of their songs to the network ). Examples include but are not limited to Carl Cox and The Spooks, both of which are big names handed by real record companies. It a shame since AG , IMHO, did the best work on promoting other , not-known, artists on the Web, better than Napster even ! Once again RIAA does not look at the positive side and just focuses on the negative side. Nor do they see that many songs are already blocked by the system it self.
Since this matter is going to get legally solved, the worst thing that can happen is that AG is *forced* to upgrade their security filter, thus messing up everything. The stricter a filter is, the harded it will be to find anything, legal-or-not.
lets just hope AG does not fade away and die just like napster.... As for the Spyware issue, people, dont complain, if you arent smart enough to use a previous version, dont even use the current one. Stop moaning, if AG was spayware indeed, they would have forced their server to drop all other versions of the client , except the current one.
i have to agree... eventhough this does sound very interesting indeed, the name "LinkSys" in the article makes me wonder "Why should i trust them, after so many problems?"..
its true, LinkSys products do have the tendancy to fail and make hell out of the life of the person trying to install/configure them. not to mention the lousy tech support they got....
so, in other words, Gooooooooooooo Cisco. i shall await for a _real_ company to make something half-decent.
yeah, i think you are right... i am starting to believe this whole thing is one big well-designed hoax.
"<PARANOIA> and Transrow in just one of them acting as a company in order to collect cc numbers and then take off with millions and millions </PARANOIA>"
yeah ! bad timing altogether ! meanwhile, we are STILL WAITING for those "german-language-shouts" addon. come on, "its ze amerikan" is not remotely as funny and cool like "es ist das amerikanische
" or whatever:)
1. with so many people, i really dont think it will be fun. lanparties are supposed to be between friends and stuff. i doubt it that there will be any of the usual fun a lanparty has !
2. procurve ? WTF ? are they mad ? damn, they should have chosen Cisco equipment:P
its sad indeed:( oh well, life does go on. i hope other EFnet servers live up and provide the same quality service as irc.colorado.edu did. just a big "thank you" to all the people involved for making it work for 12 years now.;)
Hey, its a nice idea. Lets just hope they actually send some *usefull* information back instead of pics that people of alt.conspiracy love ! we shall see:)
Heheheheh, thats a nice idea. Set up a 100-node beowulf cluster and then have SETI@Home run on it. It sounds like a good idea.... come on, wjay cant we all just play GTA3:)
ARGH ! well, i really cant wait to see the actuall movie ( and why not, the pr0n too! ). I really hope its good. I mean, they have been working on it for god-knows-how-much. If it isnt, well, i would just shoot myself in the head if i were them.
At least they give it some thought. Having nothing to do, i just watched cable tv as always. Well, in th Enlgish parliament, when talking about human cloning and debating if it should be allowed or not, 10 people were attending in total. When talking about a problem in Panama ( which is of course of less importance, no offence meant ) there were only 1-2 people missing. Is this the way the laws that will change our life are passed ? geesh , i sure hope not !
Yeap, the next will be a "mission impossible" this-disc-will-self-destruct system. Play the whole cd once and then smoke will start to come up from your drive. geesh, wont these people ever learn ?
( damn, i am giving them ideas, aint i ? )

the real question is : will i have enough storage to leech from 1000 people ? its time to pack those HP Ultrium drives...
this whole thing is getting out of hand. lets all sue google and astalavista for providing the users with links to pages that possibly contain mp3. better yet, not sue them, shut them down.
rumours tell me that kazaa is actually spyware whereas morpheus isnt. they do however operate on the same network.
Its a nice idea ! i wish they could do one for London as well so we can , errrmmmmm, do research , errrrrrrrmmmmmmmmmm, forget it. just make one for London.
I wanna grab that Lego DarthVader from Hamleys:)

wouldnt it be lightyears better if they actually usued pure-deutch voice samples ? ( kinda like DOD mod for HL ).
NO, i am NOT in an SS fanclub.

yeah, when someone is about to make enormous amounts of money, they do tend to get a 'sense of humour' :)
