It would be more convenient if they would make it all one client, which had a default "search LAN" button, and another button to click to search the internet.
But it is something to look at when I get into college.
The number 1 point there seems an encouragement to set up an in-college P2P system...
This would be a great feature for P2P developers to add - the ability to first search an internal network for your file before resorting to a search of the wider internet.
Crackdown would be if they banned all P2P and punished anyone caught trying to use a Kazaa or WinMX port...
This is just maintaining the health of the network by not allowing it to become clogged by a few users of bandwidth-heavy applications, just like when I unplug my little sister's Cat5 from the router when she lets WinMX use the whole house's upstream bandwidth.
I don't know any more if it is cheaper, but the thing is that you get exactly what you want and you can make sure it is quality stuff.
What lead me to start building my own was that I could never find a pre-built computer that had what I wanted without going to the ridiculously expensive guys like Alienware.
My stuff also doesn't have the habit of failing (except for that one time I blew up a PSU over the course of a week by hooking a system that should have 350 watts to a poor old 250 watt PSU) because unlike Dell, Gateway, et al. it is not crap.
The e-Reader accessory connects to the Game Boy Advance via the cartridge slot and uses "dot code technology" to read optical data imprinted on the specially designed trading cards. The e-Reader hardware has a one megabit flash ROM to store up to one video game for continued play. The hardware also links to a second Game Boy Advance or a Nintendo GameCube. Animal Crossing for Nintendo GameCube uses the feature and upcoming products will take advantage of it in exciting and innovative ways.
It seems the game is actually on the cards themselves, but of course they could be bullshitting us... We'll see.
His argument is valid - if he looks at GPL image manipulation code and then writes his own image manipulation code, there is no way to remove his knowledge of the GPL code even if he does not intentionally copy. So it could be claimed that he learned how to write his code from looking at the GPL code.
In a similar vein, television studios and computer game developers often have to trash idea submissions from fans without reading them, since if Person A sends an idea to Company B, and Company B had already independently thought of and was working on Person A's idea, Person A could then claim that Company B had stolen his idea.
To protect the thermal paste during shipping, there is a little removable plastic film over it. It is similar to the plastic bits that you peel off of a band-aid before applying it.
I, too, have had power supplies smell, but only when they are about to break or have broken - the capacitors burn up and produce a burnt insulation smell. Sometimes it will even keep working for a while...
I also got a lot of laughs when I once checked a computer at school that wouldn't turn on - I sniffed the case and said, "The power supply doesn't smell broken..."
The only hard drive I've ever witnessed fail was a Quantum Fireball CX 6.8 GB at work. It powers on for a minute than all the motors go crazy, it makes noise, and dies.
Luckily these computers are now mostly used as Internet Explorer machines so there's nothing important - but apparently ALL the Quantum Fireball CX drives do this eventually, so I'm waiting for the other three to die.
It would only be invisible as long as it didn't go in front of any other spaceships, planets, moons, etc. near you or even in front of a few too many stars.
It would still radiate in all sorts of other spectra anyway, and who's going to use visible light for spaceship detection?
There's the fact that if the ship is using conventional movement (i.e. it doesn't travel through wormholes or with a space-bending warp drive or something) it will be limited in its acceleration because it will have to turn around halfway through the voyage and start decelerating.

Google puts up a notice if you hit one of the Scientology censored pages, with a link to the Cease and Desist letter and a list of the censored pages.
Greatest fuck you to Scientology ever, without even having to take them to court.

Q: Why do Scotsmen wear kilts?
A: Because sheep can hear a zipper from a mile away.

That notice in the front pages in the book is a just a "friendly reminder" about copyright law, not a license.

It's probably a lot easier to rebuild the tower after nuclear holocaust than to rebuild the tower and all the delicate equipment hooked up to it.

I started to get the slight tingling and tightness in my wrists, so I found this exercise which I do a little bit and has made this go away.
1. Start with your arms straight out in front of you, the wrists roughly in a line with the arms, and the fingers relaxed.
2. Bend the wrist upwards as far as possible while also extending the fingers as far as possible. Hold for a count of 5.
3. Return the position in step 1.
4. Make a tight fist, then bend the wrist downwards as far as possible. Count to 5.
5. Return to the position in step 1, and this time hold it for a count of 5.
6. Repeat.
