When ever I hear the question "What is the best P2P client?" I always respond with, Best Buy, CompUSA, Borders, Suncoast and their online counterparts.
P2P file sharing is what the internet was designed for. It was not designed for Best Buy et al. That being said, I am not condoning P2P sharing of copyrighted material but rather pointing out that the internet was designed to share information. Perhaps if Best Buy et al had designed the internet, it could only be used to view their online stores and buy stuff. They could always start a new internet if that's what they wanted.
It is not the ability to follow orders but the ability to disregard orders that makes the US Army great. Under it's structured skin, the Army is a chaotic mess. You get used to adapting orders and mission to the changing situation. When you go from training to war, the only difference is that during real wars you get better stuff to play with.
Yes, the states has SMS service, however it costs quite a bit more. A part of the reason that IM is much more popular here is because of our suburbia culture. Teenagers in europe are, for the most part, more mobile and thus carry their "IM" with them on their cell. In the US, suburbian teens are at school, at the mall, or at home using IM to talk about what they are going to do at school or at the mall. I know I am painting with a broad brush, but to me it seems this is perfectly suited to teenage girls... Except perhaps my little sister. She uses IM, but she runs it on Linux.
At 40cents/message, that's big bucks for a service that costs next to nothing.
In Europe, where SMS is huge, It doesn't cost 40cents/message. It is only in the US where they can get away with charging that much. When I lived in Germany it cost around 1 cent a message and I sent 5-10 messages a day. Now that I live in the US and it costs quite a bit more, I send around 5-10 messages a month.
Lot's of work involved in the process. It could be done but the margin would be tight. Now, if you don't have to pay for the car your talking about a 30g margin.
I scaned the parents in the thread and didn't see this mentioned. If it was, mod this down. About 3/4th of the way down, I got a little confused by this statement: "It is a matter of record [23] that IBM's approach to LVM was rejected by Linus Torvalds in favor of a different approach. Accordingly, even if we were to stipulate that IBM has access to SCO's JFS[emp. mine] technology, any attempted misappropriation came to naught!"
I think he ment to say SCO's LVM. Has he filed this brief yet and if not can someone contact him to have this corrected?
Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniack get stoned out of their minds and build a computer that costs a fortune and runs no software. "Everyone will want one of these!", says Jobs.
The pendulum is the mouse pointer. The screen is a photo opened by The Gimp. The tool that the pointer represents changes depending on the state of the image. Sometimes it erases a layer and sometimes it paints a layer etc...
According to a study done by our crack research team, people like the color blue.
That blue screen they keep talking about is not a reliability problem, it's a feature.
copy protection is the snake oil used to prevent fair use and to slow incompetent pirates
The DMCA is legal protection of copy protection
Brings up an interesting point. What is the intent of the DMCA? If the intent is to stop the copying of copyrighted works, why go through trouble of making an additional law? If the DMCA is enforced, there can be no legal copying of any protected work. No fair use etc... Why not just ditch fair use and say that any copying of a copyrighted work is illegal?
I don't care if they download it but IMO they are breaking the law and not me. I have a right to a copy and I can put my copy wherever I want it. I could tear the pages out of a book and post them in my window where anyone walking by in the street can see and copy them. Copying them would be the illegal part. I am not saying that the current court would agree with my argument but IMO it is the responsibility of the individual to not take things that do not belong to them no matter how easy it might be. If my curtains are open, you can look in, but just because my door is not locked does not mean you can take my origami boulder collection.
And in the latter case, what the hell does that actually mean? That doesn't mean that uploading copyrighted materials would be relieved of legal liability
How is uploading illegal? Just because I put my mp3s, that I legaly own, in an un-linked directory on my web server does not mean that I want anyone else to download them. They are there for my personal use so that I can listen to my music from anywhere. It is not my responsibility to make sure no one steals copies of them.
The problem isnt the traffic being sniffed...i can fix that with a simple ssh tunnel...my problem is with the machine authentication...its basicly a clear text (well not quite...but from a security stand point it basiclly is) protocol...
1. Forget about WEP 2. Set up a radius server 3. tunnel trafic through ssh (as you mentioned)

I think what they were trying to say is that a network should have bandwith controls on it so as alocate bandwith. See LARTC

No, this article was on Fark yesterday the Slashdot dupe should be available shortly.
"your local bookshop" had around 3,000 hits but it didn't help.
The parent poster claimed 40 cents per message. I pay 10 cents per message with at&t which is still enough to limit my use of the service.

you can't browse Slashdot with it...
Sory to break it to you, but the teenage girls tend not to hang out on slashdot...
Not quite sure why.

Media companies should provide replacement media free or at cost if you can show proof of purchase of the original.
No, You should be allowed to make a backup under fair use. If you fail to exersi*e that right, it shouldn't be their problem.

Does the injunction cover spam on other systems or just Earthlink? I guess I'll go read the article and get back to myself on that one...
We pay for it indirectly
Not if you run it on MS windows.
That being said, I would pay for it.
