I'm fine with him sharing his files. After all that's what P2P networks are about, and I personally can't stand leeches. But my whole point was that with a server like this you don't need to educate him, the router box does the work for you...
it isn't for a home user? I for one am quite tired of my roommate's kazaa lite leeching all the upload away, causing me huge delays in regular browsing. Using this on the router would make a simple home network a lot easier to regulate, and face it, the way things are going, pretty soon there'll be a pc per person, not per family.
you mean the same way we pay our income taxes in advance and are thus a) less likely to find out we can't pay at the end of the year and b) much more likely to be in for a pleasant surprise when we get our refund?
Things are handled quite logically down here, just take a look at a couple of our neighbours just to see how good life is here. Little boring though;-)
Instant Message programs, a more-immediate form of e-mail now used by millions of employees, can also be reconfigured. Typically, if you haven't touched your computer in a while, the people you chat with online see an "idle" message next to your name. Diehard slackers can crack into the program settings to make themselves appear perpetually available.
Look Mom! I found the setting to not set me "away" automatically! I'm a die-hard slacker/cracker!
pffft, I've been dressing like that for ages. You should have seen the looks when we came out of the sneak preview of the first Matrix Movie(Sneak Preview in this case meaning you have no idea what movie it's gonna be) and i flicked on a pair of sunglasses pretty much similar to Morpheus's and a black leather trenchcoat. It's not that uncommon a dress, is it now?
theoretically, i don't see why you shouldn't be able to do it in hardware, if for example an entire OS has been written to report to some piece of hardware what processes it has running, and that each of these processes needs to report to that piece of hardware on it's status. If a report comes in concerning problems, or the report fails to come in altogether, the chip then takes action to remedy the situation, by for example restarting that particular process.

Oh no! The horror! A father who actually keeps an eye on what junior is watching...watching cartoons is one thing, owning Transformer toys is quite another.
And yes, I'm 24, and I still watch the occasional cartoon, although there's not much worth looking at. Lots of 'm are just ads for yet another "breaks in 2 weeks, but the hype will then be over anyway" kind of toy...
Not overlooked, non-sensical. Imagine, company A sells a television set which has a flaw that causes it to explode when the remote control sends out a certain signal, which isn't one of the standard buttons on the remote, but a frequency just beside it. Someone individual finds this out, posts the information on internet, and one or more even more freaked individuals cook up a special remote, point it at an appropriate window and blow up the tv, causing severe injuries to those kids that had been glued to it all day long.
Is the guy that actually performed the act of making the tv explode liable? Hell, yes.
Is the company A that made the tv liable? Hell yes. TV's aren't supposed to explode, just as operating systems, or in this case a piece of software aren't supposed to have gaping, exploitable security holes.
Actually, it's perfectly sensible, although it might just need rephrasing to "existing, non-spoofed e-mail adress clearly belonging to the original sender"...
Which is why they put the compatibility thing in XP. Except for some really lousy games that actually check for Windows and DirectX versions, I can still play just about anything using XP and the DirectX that comes with it. So far the same applies for all the games I've tried under Longhorn...
This was yesterday's page, and at the bottom Tycho says the following:
Strawberry Shortcake Update: I have mails in to the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund, and I'm supposed to talk with a person from the ACLU today. I don't think this is something we can do without a Sugar Daddy.
The fact that he doesn't mention the ACLU in today's main page somewhat confuses me...did he have the talk? Did they tell him it's shaky? Has the world, or in this case the USA, as usual *SIGH* gone completely bonkers?
Interesting...my teacher actually told me in person, when I was like 12 years old or so, that he'd be more than happy to look the other way if just for a change I'd do something back...different countries, I suppose, or different circumstances...perhaps the Union for highschool football players has monopolized agressiveness and bullying in the USA, assuming that's where you're from.
What would you do, Mr. Idealist? Stand there and take it while saying, "Please don't do that!"?
Some people have suffered that same plight often enough to a) start thinking it's normal and b) take pride in it...quite often it starts in school gyms for one reason or another.
For those who are either young enough to still be in school or old enough to have kids in school already...yes, it is ok to hit back, and it's even better to give the other kid taking a beating a hand. Standing next to it and looking at it with a stupid grin only shows the fact we're still apes, just with a little less hair...most of us, in any case...
dunno how things work down there, but up till now my contracts quite specifically indicated what my job was and which activities were to be expected from me...
In the Netherlands one is ALWAYS insured for basic health care, where the premium is determined by income. You have to jump through some pretty amazing loops to fall out of this system.

used to use FreeFTP. These days I tend to go for start -> run -> ftp ftp.thisisaserver.com
;-)
Fail to see the problem with it, sorry. What's the matter, can't handle a command line interface?(couldn't resist that one
Not necessarily. Perhaps the repairman is far more likely to utilize that same money for more productive uses than the previous owner...
Every1 knows Spider Solitaire is the way to go ;-)
(Show me one person who has a usefull use for spreadsheets ... )
Diablo 2 modders, who else?
I beg to differ. The change in attitude of one's colleagues caused by football results or viewing porn are somewhat different...

me thinks that the bandwidth is more of an issue in this case than processing power, to be honest :/
but I do wonder whether there's an agreement where Microsoft pays Apple for some of this
Apple gets to ship IE with their computers ;-)

Can't we etch it into the moon?
it does, afaik...a Google search came up with this (imo at least) rather interesting article. She does cover satire etc. a little further down...
