It would be interesting if this was proven to be true with spam laws: that the student was effectively spamming and using illegally obtained bandwidth that he didn't officially have the right to use.
So where do I go to sue the fuckers that spam me and cost *me* money. I am not a state, I'm a frickin' person. There's probably millions of dollars used in downloading spam (at least in Ireland with pay per minute Internet which is your only option really). A win in this case could be dangerous precedent for Universities that have large bandwidth with SETI clients and so on. Sort of like Napster as well (can't remember the links though when those Unviersities banned it).
That would be a great idea; more crusading in the 1930s, which was a really cool backdrop for all the movies.
The only problem is that like the Bond films, Connery ruled it and was the best for the style of character, and it wasn't until Pierce Brosnan that he had a similar screen presence (or whatever it's called).
I mean, look at the Indiana Jones character: it's basically Han Solo in a different era, and both characters are basically Ford's crowning parts. It would be very very hard to find an actor with the suitable hapless/cleverish/smart-but-not-irritatingly smarmy that is what all you get from Hollywood these days.
The best thing would be to find some unknown actor, and for him to be Indy's kid from say between him and the chick from the Raiders of the Lost Ark. But if you see how they brutalise good stories by putting e.g., Di Caprio in the Beach (the guy was meant to be British for christs sake, and they ommitted one of the MAIN characters from the book).
But yeah it would be cool if Indy was "timeless" like 007.
Yup, I was in Norway last year from Ireland and both the pre-paid and account SIM cards I brought with my phone worked perfectly, SMS and all. It really is sweet (and seeing as I was in Amsterdamn for around an hour at the stopover it's nice to see GSM "working" - switching the network display as it goes through countries).
I figure until GSM becomes more widespread in the US they won't get a decent and quick SMS. I have read however that it is becoming more widespread in the North East (New York, Mass., etc., ).
I think the US get better pricing deals though - around $50 a month for 1500mins of calls I heard from some services.
Yup, I don't have anything to do with the tech industry per se (it's a hobby, not a job) but there are a lot of layoffs from the likes of Dell, Gateway, Nortel, etc., . Intel delaying new fab development.
There a load of repossessed cars, etc., (6x the amount in March 2001 compared to March 2000 I hear) probably from the folk that figured $80000 a year for web design is a normal salary, only never realising that they would actually be lucky to even get that one year and $80000, but there you go.
I would be skeptical; is that amount the estimated income from the one-off IPO, or is it due to ad revenue, which is WAY down compared to 1998-2000 times.
Google is a great service, and I'd rather pay maybe a yearly subscription to keep it running (if every user payed $10 a year or so). On the other hand, it's one of the few more recent internet developments (excluding the spate of startups from 1995 onward that flopped) that has a decent solid service, and it's one of the few I would pay to use, but without the consumer and user of Google paying a fee (like normal companies), the IPO would probably get *some* money, but basing income off ad revenue would make it a one-off lump sum payment, and they are not guaranteed a more stable source of money as if they simply charged a small fee.
One thing I like is the ability to search a domain; I live in Ireland and it's great to use a decent search engine for the.ie domain.
Hmmm, in Ireland he media on TV is owned effectively by either the national company (RTE) or British Sky Broadcasting, who own satellite TV.
Marketing practices by Sky can really kill any challengers - to get digital satellite TV, etc., you pay £40 for installation, and the monthly subscription. It is a good deal, but they end up owning virtually all of the content.
However, a balanced service does remain: on the news services section, both Sky news and CNN top the list, so it's not as if they limit the exposure using technology or anything (or, ahem, limit the broadcast quality of competing services cough-Windows XP and MP3-cough.
The terrestrial based national coverage is quite poor however - 4 channels, 2 of which insist on high taxes to pay for sub-par content. The other two are just bad.
Overall, I use the single service from Sky, and apart from perhaps high subscription rates (£36 a month) the single service is fine, and covers everything from news to teh american channels like Paramount and Sci-Fi channel.
However, the biggest downer to a big company having monopoly is, as we all know by now, that they can charge/increase fees and you really have no choice but to pay if there is no competing brand/service of similar quality.
1. The original design of the "sleeve" system was a novel solution to upgrading, but an IPAQ with all the goodness to get it really functional, such as a PCMCIA adaptor for GSM access, a Flash Card for Microdrive access, all make it one big and heavy device. It most definitely becomes a non-Pocket PC with the big sleeves and addons (there is no standard expansion port, you *must* us ea sleeve).
2. With the addons, such as the PCMCIA reader, the battery life is quite appalling. Standard life is around 5-8 hours of continuous use, witha Microdrive, and listening to MP3s, expect maybe 3-4 hours, tops. You might not have a problem with recharging your Pocket PC every night, but PalmOS users can expect weeks out of a set of battery charges, not hours. Don't expect to go on a trip and use it a lot if you don't have AC access.
3. The CPU is 206MHz, and is fast enough to play 15fps WMV video, so you could play WMV encoded video on it on a plane, train, etc., . A 15fps Star Trek episode is around 45MB in size, no ads. This, like Mp3, chews battery though.
4. Compaq designed the controller badly - it cannot do diagonal movement, although it looks like it can. They have refused to fix this with a Flash upgrade, which only IPAQ of all the PocketPC CE 3.0 devices can do. As yet, game playign is far better on the Casio, which unfortunately has less RAM as standard and a slower CPU, but has real 8 way controlling.
In short, if you need a PDA, get a Visor for under $200 and wait for real next-gen devices to come around, unless you have a) excess cash, b) are an early adoptor. The only advantages an IPAQ has over a Visor are that it looks cooler, and the potential to play MP3, video,e tc., but that all comes at a cost - lack of portability, which is the original purpose of PDAs.
YEah; I also use CDEX and it's a great free app. The way MS will probably do it is to restrict audio output to applications that have been digitally "signed" by MS.......the ripping/burning app would need a signature, etc., .
I read about this before. In Windows 2000 it's only for drivers, and you have the *option* of using what Windows says is not guaranteed to work, etc., but in Windows XP, it most likely will require official signing for any app to actually work. Hence MS will be able to review apps, etc., and of course native ones like WMP 8.0 will be pushed.
However, what about whether Windows XP will *play* my 320kbit/sec MP3 backups of my albums? I don't use my original CD, etc., but make copies for the car, and MP3 for the computer. It could all go to shit really quickly for them if word gets around within months after XP shipping in the main consumer sites that XP stops you d/l songs, etc., .
It's my belief that a US apology (I am not a US citizen, etc., ) would establish guilt on behalf of the US crew, resulting in them being tried for illegal violation of Chinese airspace resulting in the death of a Chinese pilot.
The US apology would effectively sign a death warrant for the 24 crew, as they would then be in China's and also the US's eyes guilty as hell. China has a loose leash on it's death penalty, and that's the bottom line.
I don't, but I have seen films that came close to the line. Needless to say, at that point I switched them off.
That was probably a good thing when watching "Eyes Wide Shut" - after the big porno scene with orgies, etc., the movie basically sucked, so you saved yourself the agony of trying to watch Cruise et Kidman try and act.
No. Michaelangelo's David is art celebrating the beauty of God's creation, Debbie Does Dallas is just immoral smut designed to appeal to the pruriant tastes of sad lonely men. There can be no artistic merit in films made with exploitation and abuse.
I think that is exactly the point I made; pornography was the art in olden times, and yes, Debbie Does Dallas is immoral smut (and not very good either.....) . I said this, not you. I said that it was only when advanced technology that porn became what it is today. Stop stealing my lines.
Catholics venerate the saints, and the Virgin Mary. Indeed, in the confessional they place Mary on the same level as the Lord, obviously in direct contradiction with the Ten Commandments. Hence, they are really no more than a cult with Christian pretensions.
Ehhh.......no. Educate yourself. Even a little. I won't argue here because such statements from you are clearly of a purile development stage.
Sorry, but your morals dictate what is right. That should be obvious, even to an unbeliever!!!
The irony of it all is that I am utterly right with what appears as a crazy statement. Again, throughout history, morals in name of god and religion have caused more hardship and anguish to people than any pornopgraphy has. More wars are started in the name of the moral right than for any other reason.
If your religion dictates your morals, which they clearly do (you have indicated as such several times), I would like to see if you judge your religions moral basis as having been unconditionally right in it's history. The discrepancies you can not but find justify the statement. In the case of religion, Israeli's fight palestinians in a classic religious war. Each side feels they are morally entitled to the holy land. But, it is not right that they kill kids, etc., which they are doing.
I think this proves my point that morals can indeed differ from what is right. Q-E-fucking-D.
I think it should be the other way around. The nature of the internet is global, as you point out initially. I feel psychologically, it would feel less so if I was told where the domain was (.uk,.usa,.canada).
I would prefer, e.g.,//www.coca-cola.us.com, or.uk.com.
If this method had been adopted initially, it would also have stopped the endless tirade of "dot-com" this and that.
I like.com,.org,.net,.mil,.gov, etc.,.They are all useful and individual domains, so I would keep those as the root domain, and work backwards from there, adding a.uk.com, or something.
While the extremes perpetuated by the pornography industry do serve as prime examples of its undue corrupting influence upon modern society, what I am saying it that pornography as a whole is immoral, even the softcore sex scenes used in some of Hollywood's more blatent exploitation films.
I thought you didn't watch porn (you said in your earlier response) - or are you going to use the old "it was part of the movie" line?
Sex is there for the purposes of procreation and between two people married with God's blessing. Pornography is quite simply the antithesis of this idea, in that it encourages promiscuity without responsibility, a dangerous idea for any society that wishes to hold itself to any kind of moral values.
I don't think you can make grand sweeping statements like this. It's gross generalisation and clearly massive speculation that promiscuity is encouraged by pornography. Throughout history pornography was more of an art form to celebrate the beauty of god's creation ; it's merely with advanced technology that it's become what it is today, which is different.
But aside from that, it is arguable as to whether Catholicism is even really a Christian denomination, given the fact that Catholics do not solely worship God.
Now this is a very bad comment to make. It's arguable whether you know what Christianity actually is, after reading this statement. Are you saying Catholics, as opposed to Protestants, worship multiple gods? Elaborate......
Because sex is not something to be used to satiate the urges of weaker people. That is pure and simply immoral.
Hmmm, but maybe it can be used to do that, to treat sex offenders, etc., . You seem overtly concerned with maintaining a high moral code and never once mentioning the more significant problems, such as abuse, etc., . Above all, remember that you should never let your morals get in the way of doing what is right.
I won't defend the porn industry, but likewise I think your argument against it was ill-founded and from the wrong point-of-view, as you seemed more concerned with yourself, and your own beliefs, than a far more due concern about the women who feel compelled to work in the industry, by choice or not.
If you lost the high-and-mighty attitude, maybe people would listen to you, as yes, there are thousands of women forced to work in the sex industry; articles are regularly in papers concerning illegal immigrants, etc., and being forced into prostitution.
That's why I have stopped using Linux - around 2 years ago it started gaining a lot of popularity in the mainstream magazines and online sites. As such, channels on IRC for linux became swamped with lazy imbeciles who far too superior (after all they were using this "new" OS) to actually go and read about using it.
It also became somewhat fashionable to dislike Microsoft - and I really hate people bitching about Microsoft who don't even understand the major dynamics of the effect they had on teh industry (not that I claim to be a god of the tech world or anything) - so much that I would see people have very badly configured computers (Macs or PCs) running, for example, IE, and if it crashed, they would blaim MS, and not themselves first for not configgin the system properly for Trojans, etc., Viruses.
It's like people refuse to take responsibility for being fucking lazy. So now linux has become cool, it's lost it's edge, etc., but it doesn't matter, as I have totally lost the fucking point of my reply.
PS - this is in no way directed at the poster, I am just ina bad mood and the the comment about "Linux is cool because nobody uses it" is exactly right. Same with everything in life.
Over and over again.......Katz seems to pride himself in stating what any person with an average IQ can find out, and regurgitates some demographic statistics as if by posting them he has contributed meaningfully in some way.
I have developed a program that reads text and filters out all the extraneous information to leave only just the core message......with Katz' posts I only ever get an empty file after the procedure. What on earth made him seem significant to the Slashdot editorial team (if there is one)?
I way prefer the PocketPC/CE 3.0 way of character recognition - I could pick up the Jornada or iPAQ I was testing and write away normally, and it picked up my letters without fail (somethign I truly did not expect).
I found I needed some practice with Graffiti, and since I am generally lazy, I did not want to put time into it.
I figure for portable devices, you can go for either cheap or expensive. Cheap = Handspring, Expensive = iPAQ. Don't compromise - but with the Nokia Portable Cellphone shit in a PCMCIA card slot and a Pocket PC like iPAQ, you really have some sweet tech.
All down to preference I suppose. It's one area where you really need to just sit down and play with teh machines before buying to find the one that suits you
I was disappointed that Pocket Linux does not support a lot of necessary features (redefining the keys, I believe) as yet, but it will be very interesting to see where it goes because the GUI sure looks as cool as Dashboard, etc., if not better IMHO.
This is like, a change moment in mankind's science.......a paradigm shift; it will change the world as we know it. Suddenly, computers will be faster, people will stop needlessly shooting each other, and McDonald's will serve Egg & Bacon McMuffin's *all* day....
OK, a lf of folks here might shout and scream about privacy, etc., but the fact is that email or web browsing on corporate time should only be for corporate purposes. There were quite a few articles a few years back about email wasting employee time and such.
So I think it's okay to say whatever on your own time, but it seems like an *okay* step to take in work matters, as long as such a law is never evvvvvvver passed for normal home use/personal use.
Exactly what is this? A method to "frighten" or "scare" people? To "freak" them out? Or is the author just a lnguistic grunt who didn't pick up on the "ph" replacement?
I say forget trying to make new filesystems, simply get hacking the Acorn Disk Filing System. which whups this Tux2 thing. I mean, what kind of idiot would test the filesystem by pulling out the power plug? Why not test how it runs over a bad hard-disk, with tonnes of bad sectors and 11 bytes files. Then tell me it's good. None of this crap.
Has /. really gotten this bad?

I am wondering after merely scanning the beginning of this exaclty when was teh turning point for/.? When did it (I hate to say) go to shit? What the hell is this crap being posted? Not just now, but over the recent weeks/months. It's a damn shame and I wonder if there is any way for Rob et al to fix it. I mean, what exacly the fuck is going on when this sort of thing is posted?
OK, fair enough. I've never seen an Intel case, and I figured maybe it was a marketing thing. I didn't even know they *made* cases; guess I need to re-edumacate myself.

So where do I go to sue the fuckers that spam me and cost *me* money. I am not a state, I'm a frickin' person. There's probably millions of dollars used in downloading spam (at least in Ireland with pay per minute Internet which is your only option really). A win in this case could be dangerous precedent for Universities that have large bandwidth with SETI clients and so on. Sort of like Napster as well (can't remember the links though when those Unviersities banned it).
Anyway I've lost track.
The only problem is that like the Bond films, Connery ruled it and was the best for the style of character, and it wasn't until Pierce Brosnan that he had a similar screen presence (or whatever it's called).
I mean, look at the Indiana Jones character: it's basically Han Solo in a different era, and both characters are basically Ford's crowning parts. It would be very very hard to find an actor with the suitable hapless/cleverish/smart-but-not-irritatingly smarmy that is what all you get from Hollywood these days.
The best thing would be to find some unknown actor, and for him to be Indy's kid from say between him and the chick from the Raiders of the Lost Ark. But if you see how they brutalise good stories by putting e.g., Di Caprio in the Beach (the guy was meant to be British for christs sake, and they ommitted one of the MAIN characters from the book).
But yeah it would be cool if Indy was "timeless" like 007.
