How does the time it takes to download anything off of the internet effect you. Ever heard of pipelining? People don't stop and watch the little download bar, they can continue using their computer living their life etc.
When the content is done downloading they can watch, listen, whatever to it.
Since my first post which was a joke got moderated troll, i will help the moderators out by posting the quite obvious links one gets when they type the name peter lynds into google.
The source that everyone keeps getting this article from is a self published online journal, meaning noone has read it or reviewed it, the author just submitted it himself.
There is a certain anti intellectualism that runs through slashdot sometimes that i find disturbing.
I will concede that it might, just might be legit, but the markers are all there for a hoax.
I've seen alot of posts saying "If you liked what you were doing you would have no problems". While I can't disagree that this is true, life isn't about doing what you like all the time.
To get at the greater truth of a problem alot of times requires working on subjects and disciplines that you don't enjoy. Do not fall into the line of thinking that you have to "love" everything you are doing. Have some self respect, try and think of the greater goal you are working towards, whether it be more money, more freedom, more knowledge.
Just remember that "you" are ultimately in charge of what you learn or do not learn. (aside from any biological problems one might have.)
They are a private company. Google can do whatever they want to the rankings. If they wanted to rank everyone in reverse order starting tommorow they could. SearchKing was just some jackass company trying to get publicity and it worked.
Offtopic I know, but does anyone like this color scheme for the gaming section? Maybe it's because i'm getting older but it seriously bothers my eyes, and looks like crap.
No, Child porn and mp3s have no relationship at all. Your analogy would work better if you said "if people use Google to find irc networks that share mp3s, is it Google's fault."
I think you have missinterpreted the meaning of that sentence. The sentence while being a little ambiguous should be read as "The leak of the key will cause more piracy".
"most of their ranks had similarly Wagnerian (Orwellian?) sounding titles"
No not Orwellian. Orwellian would be naming your illegal invasion of a third world dictator something like "Operation Iraqi Freedom", or calling an invading force a "liberating" force etc. It relates to NewsSpeak from his novel 1984.

Yeah i see that i fucked up. Should have payed closer attention to the comment id. Thanx
Um this comment is a word for word rip off of one posted higher up. For moderation to work the mods have to be semi awake.

Complete and utter garbage. The article, not Slashdot

Oh man, thanx for making coke shoot through my nose.
Imagine a beowulf cluster of these! /me ducks :P
I apologize sincerely
No, UDP is a connectionless protocol, kinda like how our postal service works. TCP is a virtual connection more like when you make a phone call.

The fact that there is a human grandmaster of foosball somehow makes my life seem less meaningless. :)
As that old Joe cartoon might have portrayed Hetfield saying
"Thus, Napster: bad; Grokster/Morpheus: good."

I just want Tivo to be available in Canada damnit! Anyone know why the service hasn't been rolled out up here?
Since when are copies of mp3s illegal? They aren't.
It's Neal Stephenson's world, we only live in it.

release the hounds!
Man, i get tired of this myth.
No the qwerty keyboard was not designed to slow a person down. Urban legend if there ever was one.
Google it.
www.google.com
In all seriousness a part of my degree should go to google, they helped me solve many a problem, especially Theory of Computing type proofs.
Off topic a little i know.
Since when is having porn illegal?

Damnit! I lost a ten dollar bet that the next story would be a dupe.
