  1. Re:I HEREBY PROMISE - on RIAA Sues 261 Major P2P Offenders · · Score: 1

    Most "underground" record companies are members of the RIAA too.

  2. Re:Torvalds's's Comment's on SCO: Code Proof Analyzed, Linus Interviewed · · Score: 1

    When it comes to names there is no proper way to show ownership. s's and s' are both correct.

  3. Re:D&D? No thanks, RM please :-) on Dungeons and Dragons Knowledge Compendium · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I think people let the rules of any certain RPG system worry them too much. Combat is only part of role-playing...and certainly everyone's least favorite part. We've all spent entire sessions in town doing nothing but screwing around hand having fun. D&D all depends on the DM. DMs that stick exactly to the rule book are boring....
    On that note i hate being a paladin..nothing is more boring than being lawful good.

  4. Re:Come on on RoadRunner Blocking Use of Kazaa · · Score: 1

    I live in upstate new york, and I am a RR customer...on that note...what RR has done here to heavy bandwidth users is block kazaa upstream only. Upstream traffic is not completely blocked however, data seems to go in 128k bursts every couple of minutes. While most of those uploads will time out after 30 seconds or so of inactivity, i have had a few small uploads (approx. 700K-1M) actually complete over an extended period of time. I set my file transfer port to 1214 on AIM and attempted to upload to a friend, and the same periodic bursts occured..

    I emailed then about this a few months ago....got a message that basically said RR reserves the right to block users from using any file sharing program...the response did not however suggest that the port blocking/whatever was done to help curb illegal file trading.

  5. Re:retrovirus information on Gene Therapy Cures "Bubble Boy" · · Score: 1

    I don't need to point to information that is helpful...AIDS is not a disease HIV is a disease...AIDS is just a point in HIV when you're cell count drops below a certain number and you are unable to fight off disease..this takes years for some and in others it never even occurs. The african strains of AIDS aren't known to be particularily robust and the mortality rate isn't as high as it is with the American strain...weee

  6. Re:RTS is dead on Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos · · Score: 1

    Actually I recieved a beta-disc from blizzard and after two months of play it doesn't come down to who can rush faster
    The way the game is set up it's almost impossible to do an early game rush..I tend not to attack until I hit the unit cap (90 units) The game is very different from warcraft 2...but you've already made up your mind..

    Actually if you read on a bit he actually does reply..he was saying next to the previous question

  8. gcc? on Mandrake Releases 8.2 Beta · · Score: 1

    I know that mandrake 8.1 used the broken redhat gcc 2.96, since I cannot connect to the changelog anyone know if that has changed in 8.2

  9. Re:Really a load test of slashnet on Slashdot Back Online · · Score: 1

    Only one problem with that, I think he meant while slashdot was down...

  10. broadband deployment on Fiber Optics Come To Rural Washington · · Score: 3

    It seems if you want to have a excessive amounts of bandwidth you have to live in the middle of nowhere...
