However, there are some downsides-it supports a very limited number of ethernet cards-I tried using an SMC card, and it wouldn't autodetect or let me install manually. Does anyone know a way to get it to?
So the real question for many people: is there a list of proxy servers anywhere? I've searched quite a bit, but can't find any. I'd host one, but I'm banned from napster as well.
The main thing about Napster is that it allows the average Windows person to get mp3s. Before Napster came out, people would ask me how to get mp3s, and I'd try to explain FTP and IRC to them , to no avail. This kept the level of people who got mp3s to a minimum. But now that Napster is out, every Joe Schmoe can get whatever he wants with no problem, which is why the bandwith is being used up. On another note-I don't think mp3s help artists, but they don't hurt them either. My friends and I download mp3s to bands we like, and if we like the bands, we'll buy the CD. If mp3s weren't there, we wouldn't be buying the CDs of bands with only one or two good songs-we'd just go without them.
I am currently a senior in high school, and the shootings have struck a nerve with me, as it apparently has with the entire nation. I am one of the few people in my school of 1500 kids that can see the viewpoints of the Trenchcoat Mafia... throughout high school, I have been shunned and mocked for being "smart" and being a "geek." Fortunately for me, I was also a starting football player and wrestler, which kept me away from daily beatings. Most people in the country have never had to go through years of constant torment without any way to retaliate. While I do not condone in any way killing people because they are mean to you, steps should still be taken to right this moral dilemma in our society. Why should the "popular" kids be allowed to push around the future leaders of the world? It makes little sense. We "nerds" are the ones who will make the world a better place, not the party-every-weekend group. Schools need to be reformed in order to keep this from happening. The teachers see most of what happens, but do not act in a way to stop it. This must change in order to stop more violence of this sort.

Why not try U of Illinois? It's one of the top grad schools in engineering, and it's damned cheap compared to places like MIT and Stanford.
