When it the last time you used Gnutella? It works just fine. I get just about any mp3 I want on there. I might have to work awhile for some, but I get them. Try out LimeWire, its the best client for linux so far. (java based)
Most software is deved in house for in house use, not public use. If the public uses nothing but free software, you will still be able to eat. SO DO GET YOU PANTIES IN A WAD!
You are messed up dude. The Republicans want you to do your own thing. They trust you. The Dumocrats feel that you are to stupid and need their help. You need laws to protect you from yourself. Now the Reps would like to restict access to porn at public outlets, but I don't like my tax money paying for people to surf porn, get your own DM computer if you want to do that.
This whole thing stinks. I found an exploit, I am the only one who knows. Yea right. The fact is many people may already know and be using it right now. Get the information out. If ISV can not keep up, they need to go into another line of work. Everyone needs to know asap.
I would rather rely on myself and the millions of other linux usrs than any MSFT support person. I have alway been able to fix any problems I have had with linux. All you need to do, is some research and ask the right questions.
Its like Frankenstien, are you responsible for your creations? Some would say yes. Or how about kids under 18. Systems you own are like kids or monsters. You brought them into being and you must take some blame for what they do. Computers will never grow up and only do what you have told them, if you let them be unsecure and damage is caused because of it, you must share the blame. Think of it like a trade secret you must take reasonable steps to insure that your systems are not harming others just by being connected to the net. Its like letting an unlicensed operator drive your car, unless they stole the car it is your fault and you will get a fine.
Your rights end where mine begin. If someone roots your box and attacks me. I will hold you as a party in the attack. I hope you enjoy having your computer empounded as evidence(sp). IANAL
Try http://www.brainbench.com/ the tests are free, but it cost 8 bucks for a paper cert after Jan something. They have over 200 tests online, lost of Linux and Unix tests, even shell scripting. I took the linux general test and passed about 3 months ago, I was just downsized from a.com so I figured what the hell they are free. Now I have like 16 or so, every thing from 95 to NT admin and all the networking stuff they have. Most of the tests are not too bad, but the networking concepts test is a bitch. Some of the questions they ask are things that I have run across in my time. I dono if it helps to get a job or not, I never had any untill now, I figure it can not hurt. I do want to get the LPI certs too.
The computers in the US have already reached the point of market saturation anyway. The rest of the US has said that a computer is not in their life style. Now who are you going to sell the
new crippled HD's to? It is just like VC players no body wants them, even tho most people dont do much recording anywhy, Why ? because people dont see the value. Their friends come over and tell them how stupid they were for buying a crippled VCR. Consumers have to feel that they got a good deal, and they do not make the same mistake twice. On WWW time Information moves too fast to sucker the public, you tell anyone that these HD's are a crippled POS they wont touch em, and they will tell their friends just to show how smart they are. Its not like the supply of REAL HD's will just go away. No this is the analog World losing control over the digital World and not taking it too well. IBM should be reminded of MCA and PS2.
On the real front......
This pirate crap is just book cookin anyway, most of the people would not have/use the games or programs if they had to pay for it all. Now if a person is really into a product and sees an added value in really buying it they will. Pirate use of software is better marketing then any thing else in the industry. Do you really think that we
would be here right now if every software package was purchased outright. Hell NO! How are we going to learn and get trained if we are not students fork out mega bucks for the top end apps? I cant afford to do that and not all of the things I would like to learn about are at work or ever will be.
Music and Video might be another issue but I still think that bands should make money on proformance not album sales. Movies, well most of em suck anyway, and if they are good people will go and see them in theaters even if they can get an regionless DVD. If people are not going to the theaters, that is a social change not because of priate DVD's. That is what this is all about, a social change, with growing pains. Trends come and go and maybe some of the "establishment" will go too, might not be a bad thing really.
What a load of crap. The internet is a public network. If you think you can control what is on the public side you are fucked. Locks keep honest people honest. Now if you are getting port scanning from the private side you have bigger problems.
I dont see one app I need to get my work done that I do not have in LINUX. It is the end product that matters not how you got there. What maybe hard for you might be second nature for me. Anything is easy if you know what you are doing.
Prove to me or anyone with half a brain that you can do ANYTHING that someone with LINUX can not. Also I hope you have a recipt for all that crap you have. I would hate to see that BSA knock down your door and drag you away.
What are you STUPID ? You should not listen to all you hear from the LIBERAL MEDIA. There are like 180,000 under votes in FLA total that were
thrown out. YOU CANT JUST COUNT ONE COUNTY, that is why a part hand recount can not be CERTIFIED IN FLA. PLUS they are counting dimples and bumps. That is NOT A VOTE. BUSH won FLA by the rule of LAW. And GORE needs to go home to TN and I don't
think they want him there.
I am at +3 so if this is a rehash too bad blame it on the mods.
1. I thought that an MP3 was NOT a true reproduction. Please correct me if I am wrong
2. Napster/Mp3.com are not the only game in town
I can get lists of FTP servers off IRC just as easy and get any MP3 I want.
3. Copyright laws are being abused and need to
be reformed.
4. This is a victim less crime. CD sale are at all time highs.
5. I am sick of hearing about this. reminds me of LGPL vs GPL vs KDE vs CDE vs GLIBC hehehe.
My main point is that Copyright Laws have been
twisted and need to be reformed. If that means that I have to break the law to get music so be
it. I will not pay per read/pay on books or DVDs
If I have to I will break the law. At least I have a GPLed OS and lots of great software thanks to people with vision and perserverance.
PS. You can not put the whole world in jail... Wait... We might all be there and not know it!
I have seen this a million time. Where some dick headed MCSE makes changes to a server that require a reboot but does not reboot it. They never log it because they have not rebooted the server yet. Then about 20 days later when the server dies or needs a reboot (I have been told by vendors to do weekley reboots on some Apps on NT), the changes kick in and nobody knows what is wrong. Then because of a lack of trouble shooting skills, they turn a quick config change and another reboot into a half a day of down time calling MSFT.
This must be that new math stuff. The last time I checked management that made those type of choices where at the helm of sinking ships. Look at the dot com's going bust. I guess they should of ramped up using Linux and OSS, insted of getting killed on licenses and hardware. That money would sure be handy now I bet.

I have to agree LimeWire kicks on Linux. It is by far the best client of Gnutella I have tried.
I agree, if you dont use the stuff, it should not be on the system.

Yes you need lilo >= 0.21.6, you also need to mount the boot partion with the --notail option. Works like a champ.
