I'm about to stop playing too, the end game for this is just item farming after item farming. Sure, you can do it in MC/BWL or battlegrounds, but in the end it's all the same. What I miss most from this game are somekind big raids for enemy cities, and game for being more "open", so you actually could do something else than just farm those items all day long.
I can honestly say it is. I was (and still am, in some way) net-nerd.
But 6 months in coastal infantry was very good change in life, and in my opinion helped me to gain some experiences i wouldn't otherwise had. And there was those leaves, when we went to city with our friends and got drunk. Helped me to get life of my own, outside of computers.
So, if there is any young finnish people reading this, i would encourage you to stay in the army, and try to enjoy experiences you can't have, when you are playing counter-strike or hanging in irc.

I don't think this is same sort of problem, because with prostitute, you know (or you should know) the risks yourself, and it is your own choice. When your computer is compromised, and part of botnet which is sold to some evil people, who want to take servers down, you probably don't even know about it yourself. Of course, you should take care of security (anti-virus, firewalls etc.) but most people sadly don't know or don't care about. Biggest loser in this are those poor guys, who are going to be targetted by attacks.

That would be ultimately bad, because that way people would be more willing to accept DRM-technologies, to protect them from the worms (an such way hurting open standards). And other thing to remeber is, that if some worm would became widespread, it would hog up lots of network-traffic (ISPs would be forced to block filesharing-ports for economical reasons)
Furthermore, after reviewing this GPL our lawyers advised us that any products compiled with GPL'ed tools - such as gcc - would also have to its source code released. This was simply unacceptable.
Where did you hire your lawyers?:)
You just have to release source, if you use existing source and modify it, but if you just use GNU-tools, you don't have to release the source.
Well, it certainly doesen't break after first drop. It has rubber casing, and inner module, which protects it against splashes and dust when shells and key mat are mounted. It is designed to be very durable.
Here is a google cache from the site, where the source code used to be (from some reason, the site is currently down). Those sources were from 1979 and so, so i don't think they have any meaning in this.
Well, OpenBSD isn't competing so much which Microsoft, more likely with Linux, and Microsoft opinion on this case has been, that the BSD licence system is better than GPL. So I think Microsoft has nothing to do with this, because I think they hope, that OpenBSD would be more succesful against Linux.
And other good killer-application would be peer-to-peer filesharing software! That would be something completely new, and media-corporations would love you, because your software would give free advertising to their artists!
Better idea for Microsoft would be to give $25k worth of software to anyone with good idea. Who in the slashdot wouldn't want $25k worth of Microsoft sotware?

There were 21 persons who are paying in all that 427000 EUR. So it's about 20 000 EUR per person.
And the persons who were sentenced were administrators of the torrent-sharing site, not some guys who just downloaded some songs.

It's quite a sad story, poor guy even broke his WoW cd:s and deleted all items from his chars, but still managed to get back playing.

This type of thing has been in OpenBSD long time now (altq) but it nice to see that this type of thing is done in linux.
