No, there is no insentive to upload. Why should I waste my time/bandwidth and upload something? What do *I* get out of it. Good will to man? Maybe.. but even then, I don't go around running happy thinking day to day, "yay, i uploaded a file" more than i smile in triumph, "I can't wait to get home when my download of 50 megs of mp3s are done"
Actually, as lanlord, you are in a management position.
Slaves? Um, I'm not owned. If anything I can take a vacation (almost) anytime I want. I do have some freedoms. But when they lend you equpipt, they need to simply make sure you aren't using it for malicious purposes. I'm sure that when you were a kid, you didn't not get in trouble for abusing the things that were given to you to some point.
I'm sorry, but saying "no" to my boss and his reasoning for trying to get the company to go forward, something that I take some pride in doesn't make me a slave. I don't view my players (on my sports team) as equals to some extent, pawns to use against another team to win and a populous to keep happy so that they have fun and I have fun.
It sounds more like you have a problem with authority and that the company should move to your whims.
Actually, they can. Sorry, if they actually owned the building... but in most cases they don't, so obviously, they can't. The logic is still right though... its their property.
Speed is of the escence, and the combination of bad reporting and success is the escence of speed. That's one reason why slashdot itself is so great. But problem is, now that it is owned by a corporage identity, what Rob says is also now a reflection of Rob.
Same concept of not being able to sue any single person because of the action taken by the company.
The main difference here is that andover doesn't seem to lose face. It's providing a free service, even though it is wrong somewhere between 10% and 2% of the time.
Seems like RedHat might be in this the same way MS and their little deals with colleges were done. Influence the university to require/use their operating system to force continued use and/or a os-centric student product.
You do realize you already do so. You are paying someone for your internet connection. Even if you think its free, your school is providing it from your tuition.
With netzero and others, you are selling your soul. So what is so unusual about paying to get on another network? Back in the days of BBS's, you did it to. I think what hurts the most is that it was once free and will be subscription based if this fee comes into play.
If i had my million dollars
- i wouldn't have to walk to the store
if i had my million dollars
- i wouldn't have to work like a whore
but because they have my million dollars...

Consumer reports has reports on the defectiveness of various companies and the equiptment they make. Sony is 3rd highest for defectiveness. Great quipt. for at a price.
Whoa.. now as a programmer, I take some offence to this. We are only human. We make mistakes. You don't condemn the doctor who loses a patient because their best work wasn't good enough. Yes, you test and you test. If you could test infinitely, you'll have the 'perfect product', but sometimes, the rush to get things out is to fix more serious things. Sometimes releasing things out into the wild is because someone jsut didn't see the problem as it may be ever so subtle.
And you do have the undersides of your car inspected once in a while. They are called mechanics. They check the oil, if you pay them, rotate the tires. They do do maintenance for wear and tear.
Since we all know any "secure" form of information can be broken in any way or form, do they have a way of tracking which book goes to who? There's something to be said about just copying the text content only, but what does this company do when 50 people make copies of their books? Do they have a way of marking each cd in a unique fasion?

I think he meant now, at this time, it is redefined as theft. he's not claiming it to BE theft.

um, an explination is in order

this is ntfs we are talking about. you'd need an entire toga to read all that code.

That is exactly the problem, that stripping sounds like it will be off by default.

Download and compile it yourself? Not to say that rpms wouldn't be nice, but there ARE nice instructions on compiling et al....

Tigers don't change their stripes quite easily... crappy then, crappy now.

This is bad in that it is almost an admission of guilt, giving up the fight.

Ever hear of "don't think of pink elephants"? yor post is going to get everybody sued =)

Don't run it off of a different port. A lot of companies firewall outgoing traffic or even proxy it only to port 80. :1234 might be bocked...

Um, you are not counting on forgeries or even if the instructors will enforce this? c'mmon...

2. If urls are property, can't the government get involved to dictate their usage and or delegation?
3. If urls aren't property, how about other forms of data, like e-mail?
There is something a little bigger than it just being property or not.
