You mean, you have an SLA agreement on your cable modem? SLA's are there to protect both customer and the business offering them. Most likely it wont be out at all, but they need to cover their a**es
If you people RTFA, the reporter was able to find her based on her queries, not her IP Address or anything else. Torpack wouldnt help, nor would using a different search engine (after all, that search engine could be compliling the same data about your searches), unless you want to use a different search engine everytime you make a query. And even then, there are only a limited number of decent search engines out there.
Just a quick FYI... local calls are not free in all parts of North America (or the USA for that matter). In VT, there are local per minute costs upto a cap of about $20. put this on top of the $30-40 normal phone bill (not including long distance) and you're talking $50-$60 + $20 for local internet access. It certainly isn't cheap.
Thankfully dialup access is a little cheaper now, but phone lines certainly arent. I'm sure this is certainly helping VOIP + Cable (though only maybe 20% of the state can get cable).
Some of the newer 7200.9 models (80gb, 120gb, and 160gb) also feature the perpendicular technology. I'd like to see a comparison between these and the older 7200.9 models that don't feature it.
I think the general idea is that you can use this as a replacement for cash, where credit cards are not accepted, such as buying something from a friend, or perhaps a flea market or farmer's market (granted I doubt farmers will be embracing this technology). I don't think it's the best idea myself, but I can see where it might be useful.
Who'd you buy this for again? Because, initially it sounded like you bought it for your daughter, but it would appear that you purchased it for your own use.
And this record slump has nothing to do with the pure crap that Hollywood is peddling on us? They aren't losing money because of pirates, they're losing money because of the record number of shitty movies and remakes they are producing.
CCP has a Eve Online test server where they test all patches. There has been some word stating that the reason for the Chinese server is related to Chinese law. Some have stated that Chinese law requires MMO's to allow for sale of ingame items, but I don't know if that's true.. sounds kinda unlikely. It's more likely related to the curfew laws.
This really is nothing new. I live in one state and commute to another for work. I pay taxes in both states, however, one state (NY, where I live) gives you 100% credit for taxes paid in another.
I know award has the ability to flash during POST, no need to boot into an os, you just need an floppy disk with the new bios on it (namely because the bios flash program is now compiled into this bin).
I think this is a great idea. I'd happily pay 2 fees. One for the rights, and one for the distribution media.
You want a new copy of The Matrix on Blu-Ray in HDTV? Just pay the cost for that distribution method, assuming you already purchased the movie previously.
The software analogy is a bit off. You don't go buying copies of Windows 3.1 on cd (nor do you get free copies if you bought a floppy version).
Most people don't want old software in new distribution formats.
New software versions usually come with new features.
I don't really consider DTS to be a feature of a song, more a feature of the distribution method. The artist hasn't rerecorded it for the new format (and if they have, would you really want it? The original is what you are use to, any changes to that will probably ruin the song in your view).
I seem to recall an issue w/ the sil driver in fc3 x86-64 (the only machine I have/w a sil chip happens to be an athlon 64). The via worked fine (yes the board has 2 seperate sata controllers onboard). I installed FC3/FC$ on an i875 dual xeon board (Asus PC-DL) which has an Intel ICH5 SATA controller (uses the piix driver as I recall, which has it's own issues w/ the ICH5 (due to it supporting multiple SATA/PATA devices)). I haven't tried FC4 on the Athlon machine, though. A friend has installed FC4 on a board w/ Nforce4 chipset without issues, as well.
This is my current project. I'm using a 3ware 9500s-12mi card in an e7501 board w/ dual 1.6ghz lv xeons and 2GB of ram. Still need to find a decent case to house this.. along w/ some "cheap" drives. I'll probably use a standard PATA drive for the OS, as I have some smaller ones hanging around (20-30gb).

"Google is inviting users to celebrate their freedom to read by making Banned Books available to all."
Google has not made these books available to read online, it just gives you the ability to find a library that has the book.

Exactly what I was going to say, but you said it for me. Too bad I have no mod points. Talk about flamebait.

This will promptly drop the 350million subscribers by half, as we all have accounts on both services in order to be able to talk to all our friends.

Somehow I dont think you have Slashdot installed on your PC. Perhaps you have a web browser installed that can connect to Slashdot's website.

I was thinking the same thing. I also can't view the status.cogentco.com page (both seem to die w/ verio according to a traceroute).
Office XP == Office 10
Office 2003 == Office 11
Don't kid yourself. Any business who can't pay their bills or employees will go out of business very quickly.
Again with the poor software analogy.. try something that actually fits the model.

And exactly what would be the incentive for them to release newly remastered recordings if they can't recoup the costs (let alone make any profit).

1. You may not make or distribute copies of the Software, or electronically transfer the Software from one computer to another or over a network.
This would seem to indicate that you can't even download it to install it, after all, that would constitute transferring it over a networks.
I feel sorry for all the people w/ barcode tattoos.. now they'll have to go get rfid tattoos.
yeah, smart support is lacking w/ the new libata sata stuff it seems.
