lead paint in toys, inferior toys that don't meat U.S. quality standards, most items having a fake UL stamp of approval (this is important, look up the Underwriters Laboratory and see what they do as for why its so important as to whether or not the stamp is legite or not)...nah, they have our best interests in mind. Just because they supply our gadget craze, doesn't mean they have our best interest in mind
That is very, very annoying. This is something I wasn't aware of. Well, while I wasn't entirely correct about it being because of bittorrent, I wasn't entirely incorrect either. I'll have account holder call the ISP and complain.
And yet OOo doesn't have near the distribution and penetration into any sized business market that MSO does. Even small churches with tiny budgets go with MSO because they're worried about compatibility (I'm working on that with my church, though, trying to get OOo in the door, so to speak).
I know there are very legitimate uses for bittorrent, I only download legit torrents (movies, music, games, etc.) and there are tons of material out there. The problem, though, is that places like The Pirate Bay (and formerly Mininova before they went exclusively content distributor) still have a more prominent place in the public psyche than OOo, EVE Online, etc and I don't believe a game having an official torrent is going to make a difference to most major corporations aside from saying "Hey, lets not allow this technology to make sure our folks aren't downloading games all the time."
Bittorrent is the only way I download Linux/Unix distro's anymore (I know Debian doesn't use it, it uses some weird program whose name I forget). Still not convincing to business heads to implement it.
Because Bittorrent has a reputation issue, for one. The MPAA and RIAA attack it and call it the reason they are losing money (instead of their failing business model).
Large companies don't want to have to deal with the previous hassle, and even though the load might not be much for individual computers, if everyone on a company network was bittorrenting, other traffic would be interrupted (even on 2MB DSL, bittorrent interferes with my connections to many popular IM services and I don't even run it full throttle during the day).
Hehe, I will eventually be qualified to repair your TIG welder:p
Well I can only be a full-time trade student in one thing at a time. This isn't like academics where you can have two majors and it's just a few classes at most (if in related fields) extra.

Does relativity say that they are now different ages? Because that would be awesome. :p

As you well know, he's referring to NASA.
Too true.

lol
Good one. :p
Sure, as soon as they stop legally harassing everyone who is using it for legitimate purposes.
Also check out VODO, too.

Only if the irradiation of countless barren worlds has a sound.
Oh wait, that's covered already. Checking it out now.
Or not. Idiots. I've got Big Buck Bunny downloaded, though. I hope it's good.
That's probably more like it. :p
Well their first isn't held in such high regard, so it's not wonder they need a second one. ;)
Only a little? I think it's a promising field but I'm all out terrified about what they'll cook up.
How is scientific morality any different from normal morality? If it's wrong, don't do it.
I'm definitely interested in this and will be checking it out once I get home from school. What other possibilities does this technology hint at?
I saw you on Facebook.
if only Dave had known basic UNIX commands, he could have completely pwned Hal, I think.

Nothing new to see here.
I was actually thinking of complementing it with industrial electronics.
I say you're completely correct.
harsh, but there is truth there.
