Before anyone gets too worked up, read the article.
The threat of a three-year prison term kicks in when anyone makes an illicit copy of a movie "available on a computer network accessible to members of the public," when the film "was intended for commercial distribution but had not been so distributed at the time." Once the film is commercially distributed, the felony penalties appear to no longer apply.
This is only for movies that haven't yet been released. Your copy of Matrix won't land in the slammer, but your prerelease screener for RotK will.
Check out SpamSource. It's a plugin for Outlook that'll let you forward email correctly to SpamCop or any other service.
Outlook doesn't forward all the headers properly if you just use the "Forward" button which makes trying to submit spam that way useless. There is a way to get the complete headers, but it's time consuming, so SpamSource makes things much easier.
It's partially free, depending on what features you enable. Hopefully someone will create a totally free full featured workalike eventually.
I can't believe no one has mentioned Progress Quest. It's MMORPGs, distilled down to it's basis. No nights wasted mindlessly squashing spiders to gain XP, no 10 year old w1z3Rdz bugging you. No nothing.
5.44 Gbps is nothing. I recently took a box with about 300 CDs in it to my neighbors place. It took about 10 seconds to walk there, giving me a throughput of (650MB * 300 * 8) / 10s = 156 Gbps.
There have been some checkins recently which appear to be the first steps of an official installer, so hopefully soon we'll have one. It would be really cool if the installer could optionally go out and grab some common plugins like Flash and install them as well, as it would go a long away towards making it easier for Joe Average to figure it out.
Ost99 posted a link to Kerio in a previous comment. I haven't tried it yet, but from the screenshots it looks like a clone of TPF's free version. Kerio may have taken over development for it.
What is this tear-uh-bite that you speak of? I've never heard of such a thing. Please tell us how big this drive is in units of Libraries of Congress or in terms of how high a stack of floppies it would take.
I bought some of that stuff. It was interesting for a day but got boring rather quickly. It's pretty much silly putty, but much firmer (kinda close to the sticky tack stuff used to put posters on walls).
Oobleck is much more interesting and a hell of a lot cheaper.
Using pure electric vehicles would still cut down on emissions, however, even if the source energy is derived from fossil fuels. It's much easier and more efficient to keep track of the emissions on one fossil fuel plant powering 1000 electric cars than it is keeping track of emissions on 1000 fossil fuel cars.
Some of these do a little more than just gzip things coming down. One of the linked articles mentions that the server-side software recompresses images to minimize their size, giving you images that are smaller but lower quality. The article said you could right click to see the unmodified image.

The eventually goal is to be able to write a sentence such as "Google google google google?" and have it make complete sense.
It may be "source available", but that doesn't make it "open source". Some terms from the licensing agreement:
* Modified source code cannot be distributed without the express written permission of Sun Microsystems, Inc. * Binary programs built using modified Java 2 SDK source code may not be distributed, internally or externally, without meeting the compatibility and other requirements described in the License Agreement.
The DRM features will be optional, if you don't want to use them then don't use them. Presumably, if you save a file without DRM it'll save it as a regular.DOC file.

I've been using Azureus myself. It can handle.torrents at the same time and spread your upload bandwidth among them (rather than having multiple clients open, each one having it's own upload throttle).
I doubt the downloads will be anywhere close to DVD quality, so you're still ahead of the game.:)
Nonetheless, this does seem like it'd make a small dent in their DVD sales business. Time will tell if the potential loss in sales will be worth the greater exposure.

I'd put it in the thing my aunt gave me.
This is just pure ignorance. Apparently going to Best Buy and buying a hard drive is now "piracy".

XFree86 was based on X386, which, as the name suggests, was an X server designed to run on a 386.
XFree86 was a fork of the X386 code. Even though it now runs on non-x86 platforms, the name has stuck.
What we in the US refer to as "1 Calorie" is really 1 kCal. Kinda confusing, I know...

Did you read the summary? These are ANTI-spam boxes that were DDOSed. This means MORE spam for you, not less.
It's not their fault the world isn't programmed to throw them exceptions when they misspell something.

It's not really that your penis getting bigger, rather those pills shrink the rest of you, making your penis look bigger in comparison.

It's got some neat eye candy if you're bored.
This story has 8 story icons associated with it.

They shoulda thrown in the "Games" icon too, since after all, there are some Java games out there.
