  1. Can they really sue? on King Will Not Sue Schools Over Napster -- Yet · · Score: 2

    Don't most colleges act as their own ISP, and isn't it true that ISPs can't be sued for the content that goes through there servers?

  2. www.salshdot.org on Typosquatting · · Score: 1

    www.salshdot.org is not making a profit on Slashdot. The site is useing 'Name Zero', a company that gives a free URL for that extra ad window.

    They are not making a profit, but they are still stealing content.

    The other links go the the non DeCss program, if you could read that from my error in forgeting to put in HTML tags. Sorry about that.

    Knapsack problem: An integer program of the form, Max{cx: x in Z^n+ and ax 0. The original problem models the maximum value of a knapsack that is limited by volume or weight (b), where x_j = number of items of type j put into the knapsack at unit return c_j, that uses a_j units per item.

    Bin packing problem: Partition a given set of integers, {c_1,...,c_n}, into bins such that the sum of all integers in each bin does not exceed the bin capacity, say b, so as to minimize the number of bins required.

    You could spend $120,000 for fours years at a good college or spend 30 seconds on a search engine to find what they are talking about.

    This technology has been around for at least a season on the Fox show Futurama.

  10. Re:Ironically, paislyparkstudios got owned on Prince Gets Wordy About Napster · · Score: 1

    Whats up with this script kidding cracking these 30 some sites to post a letter? Should this be a /. story on this or something? I find it interesting. The author of the letter used an aol email address so I guess it shouldn't be that hard to find him.

  11. Use at at work. on ReplayTV's Remote Remote · · Score: 1
    I think this would be great for a 9-5 type person. When they get board at work, they could just cheak out the listings and decide what to record. When they come home they could have all there soaps or whatever waiting for them to view.

  12. Re:As if... on Looking Back At NeXT · · Score: 1
    I wonder hows these problems will face with Steve Job's next NeXT venture, osX with the apple cube.

    - No slots, obviously.
    - Only 8 RAM slots in the station (=32 MB).

    LOL 8? You would never fit that in a tiny cube (even if ram is better now) Upgradeing should still may be a problem.

    - Non-upgradable Video card
    I heard that Voodoo is trying to make its cards small enough to fit in the cube, so they might have that one down.

    - Ethernet and SCSI really had sub-standard performance. SCSI couldn't use many of the available PC disks at the time.
    With differnt standards different probablems will occure.

    The Unix below was quite rooten, performance-wise, from a porting standpoint and from correctness and freedom of gcc warning issues in include files.
    well, I guess we will see how bad Apple had to screw with BSD to get it to run right.

    I don't really know my stuff on these, so don't flame me too bad. I do find it funny that it seams that Steve Jobs is living his NeXT dreams with Apple by doing nearly the exact same thing he did before. I would think that if he didn't make the same mistakes that he might have a chance to succeed.

  14. Re:RIAA Backfire? on Napster Shut Down Until Trial · · Score: 1

    Early Beta versions of Napster had a place for Banner ads, but they only head Napster banner in there. I figured they would put real banner ads in there later, but the space was gone on the next beta version.

    Um, maybe their banner ads?

  17. Boy, this sure took a bite out of piricy on Napster Bans Metallica Fans · · Score: 1

    I just did a search for Metallica on a Napster server and I got the Maximum (100) different download choices for a search.

  18. How did they find these users? on Metallica Wants To Ban 335,435 Napster Users · · Score: 1
    Did Napster give the handles of these Metallica trading fans, or did they have people looking at user's 'hot lists' on lot different Napster Servers? Or did they use some privacy invading software that was able see what was being requested through the Servers?

    I'm just paranoid, whats your excuse?
