  1. Re:"Socialist!" on In NZ, Sharing Ethernet With A Whole CIty · · Score: 1

    Funny you should mention it...

    Los Osos (Near San Luis Obispo in California) has been embroiled in a sewer battle for years. Some want it. Others don't.

    Maybe they'd have better luck trying to install a network?

  2. Re:Macs on Workstations For Poor 3D-artists · · Score: 1

    These apps may not NEED more than a PII850 but tell that to me as I'm working on a four-color fullpage document in Photoshop trying to do Gausian blur...or work on five of my forty layers. In that moment I'll take all the horsepower and RAM I can get...or take a trip to the coffee room. I've seen some massively complex documents done through Adobe's products and the designer's I've worked with always go high-end.

    BTW, Photoshop supports dual processors.

  3. Re:Steve Ballmer Video!!! on Little Linux Systems For Whatever Ails Ya · · Score: 1

    but by being more and better (mo' better?)

    Hmm, perhaps we should follow in the footsteps of the Mo Better pioneers, Mo Better Meaty Meat Burgers on the corner of Pico and Fairfax in beautiful Los Angeles.

  4. Re:And this differs exactly how on Gaming On Demand · · Score: 2

    If you struck a deal with the companies that own distribution rights for the software to let your friends "borrow" it and then made sure the companies got paid for the distributed software then it would be legal. And, oddly enough, that's what Into Networks has done. The fact that there is money involved just makes it a little more enticing for the software makers. See if you can try to convince them to let you distribute their software without the company getting something back. Basic capitalism... I'm not saying that it is evil to let your friend borrow a CD. Just that Into Networks is legal.

  5. Re:17 usc 109 forbids this... on Gaming On Demand · · Score: 1

    They have partnered with the software companies so provide this service. Monolith, Infogrames and others. This would make it legal as the software companies own distribution rights and can distribute the software they own in any means they choose.

  6. He's Not Screwed For Long! on Verizon - No DSL Over Hybrid Copper/Fiber Lines? · · Score: 2

    VDSL should be providing a solution to this problem as soon as the standards are figured out. See how it compares to other DSL standards here.
