But as well, download it via every proxy and from every IP-adress that you can reach. They want logfiles to read? Let 'em have some!
I'll mirror it as soon as possible.
Oh, and maybe someone can come up with a program of the same name CPHack that does something completely usless as the DeCSS... I kinda liked that idea.
At least for the german "Flirty" it won't be a problem when you cannot talk to the other person right now. The Flirty exchanges name and phone-number so you can call him/her later.
The chinese "Lovegetter" isn't so sophisticated though. For the japanese one I don't know. The site returned me an error. Possibly/.ed.

If someone programs WMFLirty, I could install it on my laptop and let it use the IR-Port...
With all that beta-, unstable- or developer-versions of various programs around for Linux, one could think that there are almost no final releases. Ok, we all know that with most of all programs even a beta-release is rock solid unless you do really obscure things with it.
Nevertheless I sure hope, there will be a final-version of the RealPlayer 7.
BTW: Why is it called "beta" and "final"? Shouldn't it be "beta" and "gamma"? =:-)
A friend of mine offers his tracks on mp3.com also. (http://www.mp3.com/bri) By now he didn't make much money (about 50 $ or so) with it. His point is: "I don't want my music be bought by the people (although, thanks for the cash)! I want my music to be HEARD, to be ENJOYED by the people! It's fun to see the people dance to your music."
About the music on mp3.com: There is crappy stuff, but then there is much brilliant music on also. I'm into trance/techno/acid and I've downloaded many files that really rock.
But maybe, you want to have a look at the Internet Underground Music Archive at http://www.iuma.com.
Sort of like the GPL works: The programmers fame lies in wether the GPLed programs are used by the people.
The idea of some sort of "open gaming platform" is anything but new. I can remember that the 3DO was intended to be some sort of a standard, just like VHS is for Videorecorders.
Additional information can be found in the 3DO-FAQ here: http://www.classicgaming.com/museum/3do.shtml
I only saw the 3DO in action once. I wasn't impressed at all, maybe because it was a NTSC-machine connected to a PAL-TV.
SuSE was my first experience with Linux. Not that it'd have been bad at all, but when I first looked into those scripts I thought I'd probably never get it.
Then I saw the clean scripts and the easy BSD-concepts of Slackware. Ever since, I don't want any other distribution.
Who needs Package-Manager anyways when there are sites like freshmeat?
Agreed, the lighting cannon looks ugly, compared to the rest. At least the noise it makes is ok. *BUZZ!*
But the whole rest is just impressive. Nebula, plasma-clouds, the ships (gotta love that Hurricane) and all those extra-weapons look quite cool. One can see the many hours of work put in to it.
Can't wait for T-Shirts and such stuff.
The only downside to the whole game is IMHO the missing single-player-mode. I'm just a dialup-user and I don't want to have my phoneline busy all the time I'm playing games.
I have: Slackware 7.0, Voodoo 3, Athlon 600 MHz 3dfx-Drivers are installed.
The game (parsec_x) runs as user right out of xterm (Eterm, that is). Everything is working and I get whopping 85 frames/sec with 800x600 pixels. When I use the helix-cannon, framerate drops as low as 42 frames/sec, but that's still fast enough then. =:-) Seems like I'm a lucky winner with this game, my setup is supported just fine.
Oh and of course, keyboard-control works just fine. Haven't tested joystick yet, since my Wingman is broken.
Back in 1985 when I was in school, they were teaching us to code LOGO on the C-64. You can't do much useful with that language, but it was just the right thing to teach us, how computers work and how you can program them. Not to mention the taste of power one gets by experiencing that the machine (or rather the turtle here) follows his commands!
One year later we had to learn BASIC on some DOS-Machines. Quite okee, computing can be fun on any machine. The downside here was, that since I already knew some Basic (we had a Colour Genie at home since 1982), I wrote my programs in my own style. The teacher, when looking at my programs always said, that my solution is wrong, since my code was almost always about only 1/4 of lines compared to the listing in the books. They've never ever heard, that you can print a string with INPUT and do not need a seperate PRINT command for it. And it was strictly one command per line. (Of course, I'm a spaghetti-coder, but REM is your friend here)
I see chaos as the answer. Not anarchistic chaos but creative chaos. If they all want to know, to what websites we're surfing, what interests us customers and the like, hell, tell them!
Okee, this rather sounds like a troll, so let me explain. Of course you don't only tell them where you really surf and what you do on the internet but give them as much data as you can. It doesn't matter if the data actually is plausible or not. Just feed them with data.
For example: Cookies are great for that. Why not load it into your favourite texteditor and mess around with all those information? See it as like sending postcards from places you've never been.
This is what the principia discordia talks about (I'm not sure, but how can one be sure about discordian principles anyway). Generate as much information until noone can tell whether a fact is true or false.

Of course, there has been pre-emptive multitasking much longer than the Amiga exists. But, keep in mind, XENIX, Unix and all the like have not been affordable for the home-user then.
That was, what I had in mind. Why would anyone want to make an AVI (or Quicktime, FLI, CDXL or whatsoever) of a DVD? I meant, make an MPEG-1 Stream of the MPEG-2 Stream, that fits on a normal CD-ROM. =:-)
Though, I can't see any other purpose than to copy and spread the movie (which can be considered illegal in most cases). I don't know of anyone storing his holiday-videos on DVD yet...
Though it was invented more than hundred years ago and probably doesn't count here:
The Automobile very much shaped the world. A lot of other inventions would not have been made, if there were no cars. Why use cell-phones for example? Without cars, people wouldn't roam around as much and would not need cell-phones anyway. Besides, all those inventions made like computers, rockets, airplanes... How would anyone transport those things?
Therefore, my opinion is, that the automobile has made the biggest impact.

That's why I don't go to the antarctic. I'd miss the daily news.
Anyway, GSM doesn't work there and Iridium is (was) much too expensive.

Don't ask me for a URL though... =:-(
About the innovation of this text-to-speech-feature:
I remember entering this command on the CLI of my Commodore Amiga 500 back in 1987.
df0:> type blahfasel.txt >speak:
And 'lo and behold, the Amiga was speaking.
Wouldn't setting up a database of the entire filesystem use up more space than you're saving?
Just a thought...
I always have the feeling, that when I visit a techno-party time really flies.
I don't think that things would get more complicated through specialized distros.
When the help-desk can assume, the user is running the specialized linux, helping should be much easier, since the help-desk knows, where is what.
The hacker can still run his preferred distro on his machine.
Call it Yasty.
Well, what can one do about this?
