the new version of Bearshare (2.0.4) seems to be working rather splendidly. My copy has been up (they fixed some major memory leaks) for about three days now, has transferred over 5 gigs of data and pulled down nearly a gig. This includes some resumes (check "auto retry failed") that have finally been able to complete.
Quick hint: when looking for movies files search "*.asf" or "*.divx", asf's (and mpegs) are a bit better since you can watch partial downloads, DivX;-) doesn't seem to support that although they are generally better quality in less space (note: I'm not really into hardcore descriptions of codecs, just how they work in the real world). It's not perfect (by any means), but is moving in the right direction. Now let's just try and keep it legal. --
I think they did this to keep people from running servers as well as to keep the overall QOS from dropping through the floor. Cable is a shared (on the local loop) connection and anything that puts lots of traffic there will constrict it. For most people having much smaller upload bandwidth is hardly noticeable, however it does put a hamper on P2P tech. --
I replied it is the same in LA, except in Texas you actually have mud on the car. (ie it is actually used for what it is meant for)
Even as a rabid Texan I have to call you on this. On a recent return trip to Dallas I was nearly run off the road by a single person in an Excursion, who was watching a movie on three! screens, and talking on the cell phone. Of the other cars on the road nearly 20% are SUV's and I can assure you that 95% never see any off-road usage (outside of spoiled teenagers going muddin'). There's no need outside of status for such auto's, except maybe that you don't want to be killed by one. Welcome to America, where we take our arms build-up to the streets! --
$40 with a 40 second no-skip read ahead. It just went on a 30-hr road trip and only skipped on badly scratched CDs. The tech has reached a point where paying for a name brand only fuels their advertising. --

true, it's not very far along. But feel free to email the developer (singular) with any suggestions or bug reports. He seems rather accessible. It's not GPL but might be after they get sued... --

try out bearshare. It also gives you quite a bit more info than nappy, including country of origin for the computers it connects to.
It alleviates the problems or complaints the articles author had with the Gnutella network (manually finding servers). I've found it to be rather good, but quite a bit slower than Napster. The protocol seems to be coming along, but I believe it will always require more bandwidth than a napster like central server. Regardless, as broadband continues to roll out, these services will only get better, more pervasive, and even more difficult to stop. They will replace or compete with mainstream broadcast media within 10 years. Unless those folks decide to compete seriously in individual digital file delivery. --
I love it when people correct someone, and then make the same mistake. *crosses fingers*
Words that are spelled and/or pronounced the same but have different meanings are known (in English) as "homonyms", "homophones", or even "homographs". None of the dictionaries I use knows what a "homogram" is, although somebody mentioned singing and gay people... --
In other words, the notion that Microsoft's empire would be losing money if it weren't for this tax trick is pretty absurd.
I don't see how you can be so confident about this. The market penetration of home computers is nearing 60%, upgrades won't sustain the same level or revenue. Microsoft is also spread out over a huge number of markets and has been trying to get into the high-end high-margin server markets for years. All of these things cost money. Their stock is nearly at a 52-week low and I'll bet it goes lower.
With all these factors I find it difficult for you to be able to look through the accounting smokescreen they have thrown up and declare them as healthy as ever. --
I paid for the drivers for the 9300 under win2k, had to order a disc from headquarters. Works great and fast now, and I didn't mind, but I won't pay again for drivers for the same piece of equipment, and if anyone asked for the CD I'd gladly send them a copy. --
but what kind of practice? What drills should you focus on? Any stretches you've found that help particularly? What about your running technique? Practice might make perfect, but perfect practive makes it happen faster.
If you think you can become a world-class runner by "just running" I think you are sadly mistaken.
Besides, he even mentions that many programmers learn how to do it poorly, but when asked how to learn to do it correctly, he says, just do it.
Overall this is a pretty shallow interview, it's obvious he'd rather be coding than answering questions. A good thing for OpenBSD the software, a bad thing for the image of OpenBSD.

they have trailers for this on finalfantasy.com. It looks awesome. (hmm, the site seems to be down, here's a meta one) I've been playing FF9 and the CGI in there is some of the sweetest I've seen. Blows away any other movie stuff I've seen. --
Not to mention the total amounts of possible listeners for a song. Real radio, song played once, no real way to know how many people heard it (Arbitron is a joke, but they use those numbers so I guess you can guess how many people hear it). In larger markets this can be upward of 1m people. With Internet radio you know exactly how many streams are connected per song. That's a big difference, and even the most popular mp3 streams are currently under 1000 users.
Of cource, even if you play all independent or live music, my guess is that you will end up having to pay the RIAA, or go to court. I can smell the DMCA from here. --
I'm not sure how you can have an objective opinion on how much taxes are being taken from you. From you own admission, you've admitted that all the money you've made has been your own, how would you know the difference? How much % exactly is taxing the hell out of you? And does it matter that much if the percentage goes up when the total does? Like you said, without the food stamps, you wouldn't have made it.
Just not exactly sure where the argument is here. How much do you think you should pay in taxes? --
. Many major label artist's tours end up losing money.
This is because they are subsidized by album sales and spend too much money telling people that they like the music. It is more than possible to make money on tour, but not if you use it as a big commercial to sell CDs. --
