That may be true on hot regions. But in Finland at wintertime we usually heat our houses. In that case light buld does not produse waste-heat, the more heat lights generate, the less we need to use other sources for heat up our houses. At summer AC is needed, but then again, who uses lights at summer when Sun does not set at all.
Remember that energy in an isolated system remains constant. Energy can be converted from one form to another, but it cannot be created or destroyed.
As a result, whenever a server fails at Google, THEY DO NOTHING. They don't replace the broken machine. They don't remove the broken machine. They don't even turn it off. In an army of drones, it isn't worth the cost of labor to locate and replace the bad machines. Hundreds, maybe thousands of machines lie dead, uncounted among the 10,000 plus.
Wonder why they don't use google-search-engine to find broken machine?
Yes yes, but one must download ".torrent" file before hand. That is not big problem for me, but I know many ppls who directly opens every email attach, without virus scanning it first. I newer ever do that. So how many check that ".torrent" before installing binary. Those binaries can not carry ".torrent"-file or url or location to, because it can be manufactured allso. Maybe if user first download binary files indexnumber or some identification (generated randomly by distributor) and ".torrent", then search binary by its identification number.
Let the bygons be bygons. I am waiting day when no-one can ever recompile my old (loaded with bugs) sources to runnable binary. Or quote old bbs/usenet/'/.' posts.
Distributing software via p2p-network is.. umh.. dangerous. Without crc/md5-sum/hash/whatewer authentication user can not be sure what he/she has been downloaded. And installing that kind of binary, no way Jose. And even with hashs user must verify the binary. How many of us (and what about the rest of the world) have strenght enough to verify every binary? Well great way for distributing troijans and viruses.
Does anyone else remember POV smacking them in the head with Moore's Law?
Oh, do I? Hell yeah. Back then I'v got bran new 486dx2-66, and my friend had 386sx-16 (or so), it was faster to transfer.pov to me via 2400 modem, render it, and send.jpg back to my friend, than rendering it with that 386. Talking about distributed computing...
Users should be able to moderate every web page they are reading, then this kind of blasphemious web sites would be easy to moderate down, without police involvement. Hope that some day there is at least one page that allow moderating. Oh/. allows it allready, well, maybe after 50 years p% (where 0 < p < 100) of webpages allow moderating by users.
Personally I prefer registration. Years ago when bbs's were the only way to get daily pr0n and warez feed... uh oh, news feed. It was acceptable use NUV and NUP, even before actually getting account. What about anonymous? Newer heard. Back in the today, ever used ftp, or telnet, or ssh... etc. Okay ftp has well known anonymous login/pwd. But in the other side, if user authentication is needed, why physical address is needed, or gender, age, mothers name, sisters age, or even email address. No way Jose, ya ain't gonna get it, preferred login and passwd is okay for me to submit.
In IT industry, there is allways something new to lear (or teach), why not learn new OS? Company may teach it's workers how to deal with word, or it may teach emacs-macros. (not the same thing thou)
True true, I jumped from RH to debian month ago. Did small basic installation from debian cd. Recompiled everyting from tar.[bg]z. Doing this i run into many/some problems, but recompiling with reading INSTALL and README files fixed all of those. But now I know whats inside the system. RPM's are too easy way to mess things up.
Heh, Good one.
What if someone founds out that www-browsers are used to transfer copyrighted material? HTTP must be evil protocol, lets sue every http-servers admins, and don't forget comppanies which made those unlawfull browsers.
Viruses and troijans are made FOR most used platforms. If everyone else use windows then I (the linux user) don't need to worry about viruses. Same thing as if every man is gay exept I, there would be lot of free womens for ME.

How about topic("tolkien"), or topic("middle earth"). The Hobbit, and Silmarillion is going to be filmed if LotR succeeds.

Last night I compiled new kernel. And it kernel-panic'ed. So now I know why. Its dead.

so, is DNS really p2p network? Kind of, i think.
How one is supposed to use wget to do some searches and using results some script? Oh well, anti-script-kiddie-feature.
Isn't DMCA going to stop this Echelon project?
Or.. Or.. If goverment may sniff networks, so how come regular geeg may not?
It would be nice, if edenproject could bring summer-like environment for whole year. Winters are so cold here, in Scandinavia.

>Unfortunately application compatibility hasa lways been the key.
Nah. All you need is well defined (and propably free) filetypes, so it ain't OS dependant anymore.
Heh, Good one.

Is Cracking dna like reverse-engineering dna? What DMCA say about that?
