I'd like to see what happens when the RIAA is swamped in complaints and threats of lawsuits from ISPs of their "target" customers.
Imagine this: If the RIAA were to actually make a move on this threat, there could be some serious side-effects. RIAA systems causing major traffic congestion at the offending customer's ISP, possible equipment failures, and overall rise in tech support costs when customers begin to complain about these problems are a few examples.
I would have to say that you hit it right on the nail there. I'd love to see the government taking a serious interest in developing alternative energy solutions which provide energy with near fossil-fuel efficiency and price. Then, aside from exporting and importing goods, America would be a truly independant nation.
Right now, we can't survive without the Middle East. It's a very sick thing.
According to a poll taken by the U.S. government which was referenced on NORML, nearly 77 million Americans admitted to smoking marijuana within their lifetime, and 20 million of those within the last year. For the sake of error, let's add an extra 5 million to the previous total of 77 million to compensate for the amount of Americans that were afraid to even admit using the drug, thanks to our government's continuous anti-marijuana propaganda.
The best value-add possible from the music industry would be for them to begin peddling music which is actually pleasing to the ear, don't you think?
I would really love to see more emphasis from the music industry on popularizing classical, folk, and other more traditional forms of music, rather than the current manufactured sounds of Nsync and the like. Just imagine if they could get young audiences turned onto this...
I know that I should really read the documentation, but I figure there are a few Slashdotters that would just as easily answer my question with examples of their own personal experience..
I've heard from a few people that SPARC support (specifically, sun4m) in 2.4.x isn't as solid/fast as it was in 2.2.x kernels. Currently, I'm running 2.2.19 on a few SPARC systems that require it, and I'd like to hear some 2.4 experiences before I consider giving it a go on any of the systems.
If you needed a system to sit,exposed to the internet, I cannot recommend OpenBSD strongly enough. If you need a system to serve data quickly using inexpensive hardware, FreeBSD has many performance advantages, even over the linux 2.4 tree. And, if you want Unix on your Atari Falcon, go grab NetBSD, you nutcase. =)
Most of this is true, but I'd just like to say that NetBSD is just about as secure as OpenBSD under most circumstances. NetBSD has actually submitted a number of fixes for problems that were only caught by OpenBSD developers later on. Sure, NetBSD doesn't perform code auditing as extensively as the OpenBSD group, but they do their own auditing routinely, as well as import OpenBSD fixes which apply to the system.
NetBSD also seems to be more progressive in both their hardware (devices supported per-port, not amount of ports) and application support.
Don't get me wrong; I love OpenBSD as well, but NetBSD is not just an OS to run on your obscure hardware - it is a very much complete BSD, worthy of all the prestige given to the other two BSD projects.
Yes, WD drives are very good. I keep a small stack of small WD hard drives around for use in any firewall box I want to slap together, and I've had a small Caviar 120 running flawlessly in a machine across town for a couple of years now. I doub't they'll fail anytime soon.
Their song "POP" from the new CD is already available on Kazaa, with about 8 copies listed upon search. It's 12:33AM here, and the number of available copies should only be higher during the daytime. Most of the current files are probably from European users.
Wow, Nsync actually has their own internet access service provided by MSN. What the hell is that? They call it *NSYNC@MSN, and it's advertised on www.nsync.com
Actually, it can be turned off pretty easily by users by running the "msconfig" tool. That shouldn't be too hard for most users with some Windows experience. I think that tool is only present in Win98, though.
Yes, you can disable the Office startup hooks. Just remove "osa.exe" from your registry "Run" section, which is HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Run, I think.
Do you think there are no teenage girls out there that listen to NSync on their computer? Are there also no teenage girls out there that like to download NSync songs and burn them to CDs? Everybody I know, even some of the more dim folks, know how to download music and burn them to a CD. It's not just computer nerds that are skilled in this process.
You should only shoot the football players if they're popping babies out of every girl in school. We don't need any more pregnant cheerleaders in this country.
I don't know what to say about the people wearing Tommy shirts. Most jewel-wearing Hilfiger-sporting types I know will never lead a successful life anyway. Just let them be on their own merry way.
Anyone else remember Barneystein? It was a patch to the shareware version of Wolfenstein 3D. The guards were replaced by Beavis & Butthead, and the boss was a large Barney the Dinosaur whose weapon was his terrible singing voice. If you were hit with one of his flying musical notes, you were surely screwed!
Very funny, and added some extra play value to the game.

You can't have your cake and eat it at the same time...
I've always hated this phrase. If I'm going to have my cake, I'm damn well going to eat it no matter what!

Open LOOK Window Manager (olwm) is the window manager you speak of.

So, do you still think "drug" use isn't common?
This may be redundant, but...

Say, are you Carolyn Meinel, by any chance?

They simply don't understand the concept of losing any money at all. If their profits aren't steady or forever increasing, something must be wrong.
No, but I hope that asshole in the North tower that yelled at Homer died in the attacks.
At least if our government goes way too far, we'll always have semi-automatic assault rifles by our sides!
Gee, they must not have given up on that idea until 2.5 :)
Why doesn't Apple seem to care about other older MacOS-like themes? Seems strange that they would only persue Aqua themes.
Weak machines cannot run state of the art software, Thats why people upgrade.
NetBSD runs on those machines. Don't even attempt to reply with "NetBSD isn't state of the art software."
Hey, maybe you'll even be slapped with a lawsuit for "demonstrating use of a circumvention device".
