Argh... The fastest Internet connection that can be used in my small town (or at least the part I live in) is 28.8 dialup! Why couldn't they have picked where I live. =[ Hopefully this form of broadband will become wide spread soon.
That is definitely not true. Bit Torrent has a lot of legitimate uses. I used Bit Torrent to download an ISO for clusterknoppix and the multi-disk ISO's for red hat when their servers were swamped. Bit Torrent is a great concept that is not going to be going away. It's sort of like multicasting over the traditional internet structure. I see BT only growing is variations and uses in the future both for good and bad.

He might be against them going to jail, but he still wants his money.
I tried netflix in january of 2002 and it took them two weeks to send me my first dvds. After their one month trial period I decided that they didn't care about me at all and I cancled my service.
On my next break from college in June I decided to take another stab at the online dvd rental market and found dvdbarn.com. With their program I actually recieved my dvds when I was told I was supposed to, plus they let me tell them I sent them back to get more shipped out sooner. So with the dvd barn's plan of getting 3 dvds out I really had 5 out (when they were in transit). PLUS you can have as many dvds with bonous disks out at a time as you want. If you love the extras as much as I do this is a great feature. =]
So really the only new thing is that the software actually tells you that you can IM people from both programs. For a long time now you could IM icq #'s from aim and vice versa..
To register you do send a message to him. That adds you to his database. Afterwords you then have to export your AIM buddy list and use a HTML upload form to send your buddies to him.
According to his privacy statement no one will ever get your screen name unless they have it already.
I guess he could sell all the collected names to spammers but it doesn't look like it.
---------- Your screenname will never be shown to someone who does not already have you on his or her list.
Your buddy list will never be shown directly to others.
Information about whether or not you have a buddy on your list will only be shown to a friend who has both you and that buddy on his or her list.
I agree. If they are going to be shutting down unsecured 802.11 networks, then will they PLEASE shutdown all of the unpatched (read all =]) IIS servers? Nimda pisses me off.

Instead of reading it from a blog here it is the source press release at the college. .. Still looking for the actual paper though..
