It seems to me after reading the article you refernce that the only way P2P is going to work is if no one buys the network and they shut it off. Then the whole problem of the nameserver goes away.
Why can't we seem to put up a national cellphone service like in Japan. If we're spending all this time, money, and technology, make it two way... There are still many places near where I live where there's absolutely no coverage. I guess this is just a rant, but it should be established technology, who cares about nationwide radio except the advertisers.
All beliefs and methods of proof are based on certain assumptions which cannot be proven. The best you can hope for is a self-referentially coherant system.
I'm glad that your so willing to accept the authority of your teacher and textbook. I'm sure they're implicitly always right.
The ERA. You see a great many people wanted to be politically correct back in the early days and decided to get an ammendment to support their philosophy. A great number of the social elite that you claim can run the country wanted it. It was a popular thing but; and here's the tricky part, it failed! It failed to be ratified by the necessary 2/3 of the states and never passed.
The "social elite" are not the people you see on TV, they're not the government, they are the people who actually think about what's going on and decide what they want. They have the "will to power." Would you care to elaborate on the exact reason why the amendment failed to be ratified by the necessary states and by how much it failed?
Let's get another example: The Pentagon Papers. The government had this little thing called Vietnam that (because of incompetent people) they bungled and tried to cover up. Someone leaked the info and discredited the government. Nixon tried to use all of his formitable power to stop the NY Times to remove the material but he failed because of democracy.
OT: Vietnam was a war that could not be won. People just didn't "bungle it."/OT
Nixon may have had "formitable power" but he failed because some people didn't like him and they had control of the presses. I think that that proves my point more than yours. Freedom of the press is free for those who have the presses.
I think it would be wise to at least consider different ways of thinking about something rather than saying "this class taught me this, so it must be true." That kind of mentality is one of the reasons which I question democracy. Also beware of history teachers, as is said in 1984, "He who control the past controls the future." I found out that my HS history teacher lied on several occasions about things, consider verifing your sources. In regards to your textbook, just because it's in a book doesn't mean it's true. Furthermore, just because it's in several books doesn't mean it's true either, but it's a bit more likely.
What I think you fail to grasp is that society as a whole is subject to manipulation by the few. It doesn't matter that 2/3rds of the states would have to ratify an amendment. They'd ratify it if they thought it was "popular" with the people. Who controls the people? Though there may in fact be some *truly* individual thinkers, the masses, by definition, do not think. They do not think about the rules which society gives them. They do not think that maybe life is worth more than the TV tells them about. They do not think about the implications of their actions beyond their own lifetime and usually not beyond the next year (if that). These people are the people who manifest what is popular. However, it is the relative few, the marketing people in capitalism, or the propoganda people in totalitarianism, who actually tell people what is popular. So before you have so much faith in democracy, understand that with technology it becomes easier for individuals or small groups to influence larger numbers of people and thus dictate what is popular with in turn dictates how politicians will vote.
So you've looked for trojans before and found them? If that is true, I'm not sure that most people, even programmers, would know what a trojan looked like in a large piece of code. I know that there are functions which I've seen which served no apparent purpose. The general case when dealing with other peoples' code is, if you don't understand something, leave it alone, which I'm pretty sure applies to most of the kernel for most people.

I've run it on a P3 500, but it still lags if you don't have enough memory and it starts swapping. I think that 256 MB is ideal. I think if the other people that replied had more memory their performance would have been a lot better since besides going in swap for memory, context switches between the real and the virtual machine seem to happen very quickly and efficiently.
What I hear you saying is that you like things which are open source because you "know" they don't have a trojan, or at least that you can check. However, I ask you whether you've every really checked the complete source to an reasonably large open source project? Do you really think you could read through FreeMWare and understand it well enough to know that there wasn't a "trojan"? I doubt it.
As far as patents are concerned, "essentially the same thing" is not the same thing. SETI@home and Distributed.Net are not doing the same thing as this patent covers. I'm begining to think that Slashdot needs a clue about patents (though with all the discussion you think someone might have got one by now).
It is by will alone I set my mind in motion, it is by the juice of sapho the thoughts aquire speed, the lips aquire stains, the stains become a warning, it is by will alone I set my mind in motion.
It seems that there would be a market for the long version on DVD. I've seen several people mention it and I know that I would buy it myself. I wonder if there's someplace we can write to tell them that it really would sell.
I don't remember any "sound" module stuff in the books. I think that you must be confused. The Weirding Way was the Bene Gesserit method of fighting. It involved having very finely tuned reflexes and staying at the edge of readiness.
I wonder if most moderators read the guidelines. Remember you're supposed to focus more on moderating up than down. You wasted two points moderating the replies to the first one down (which already wouldn't be visible to the usual user) instead of bringing forth useful information. (I would find it amusing if you did the same to this one)
Not to burst your bubble but most user/pw stuff is encrypted with DES. Furthermore I don't think the user = "blah" password = "password" is "secure enough". I think it would be frightening to know how many people had a password of "password". Then again you might be being sarcastic.
Slashdot Mirror
Check out http://www.winbolo.com/. It talks about a Windows version and a Linux version.
This is the most ridiculous display of censorship I've seen ever. Modding down a whole thread. Shame on you. Obviously the community do not agree!!!
Care to mention what those commands are? (Yes this is offtopic (sort of))

I see your point. Thank you for the correction.
The easiest thing to do is go into c:/program files/ezula and double click the uninstall program.
The correctlogic is:
A trojan is program code embedded inside another program that does undesirable things to your computer.
TopText is program code embedded inside another program.
TopText does undesirable things to your computer.
Therefore TopText is a trojan.
Sorry, the power of logic class compels me to comment.
Go in the directory where ezula is (c:/program files/ezula) and run the uninstall program. Duh.

I'm curious, there's Open Source software movement, why isn't there an Open Source hardware movement. It would be harder, but possible I think.

My bad, previous is wrong quote, I don't have my Dune DVD right now to check either. Sorry.

Of course one should check to see that the above is *parody* of the source!
