I for one would have LOVED this service just a month ago.
Our site was put under a heavy barrage by one single individual using a Comcast connection, and subsequentally used up well over 100 GB of traffic by himself when he downloaded a video of Java running on BeOS.
Now in hindsight, I should have used a torrent anyways, but I didn't, as I wasn't expecting this kind of traffic in such a short time.
We are now back to normal operations, although we have yet to receive any word from Comcast, other than automatic email replies.
In a nutshell, torrents can be a very bandwidth friendly service for files that become popular, and I heartily welcome the service from Hurricane Electric.

They aim to achieve 1 million downloads during the next 10 days. The countdown doesn't reflect that actually it has already been in progress for a couple of days now, but still, quite cool.
I'm helping their promotion by telling my friends and family, and my website visitors about it. I recommend the same.
NO. This is a really bad idea. Cutting CAT5 cable with anything resembling an ordinary blade knife is asking for trouble, because when it slips, you can end up slicing a thumb really bad. Before you know it, you have blood all over your work counter, computer, and floor, and it hurts like hell. This happened to me once, and I now have a nice scar because of it.
Always use the right tool for the right job. Cutting CAT5 cable with a knife is just not cool.
The Haiku project recently turned 3 years old. Several websites have covered the nice letter Michael Phipps wrote to the community.
Happy birthday Linux, naturally... Without all of the hard work in regular Open Source projects, I doubt there would have been half as much motivation for our small projects, in another timeline. (You know, the evil timeline where Billy G is president of the US of A.:)
iPod devices that broadcast music shares, and allow one to listen/transfer what music is already shared by others, wirelessly, seamlessly, the Apple Way.
Look to Apple to incorporate some sort of wireless ability with iPods soon, which will pave the way to a distributed music sharing utopia that hacker-types will embrace, if not lead the charge with.
That's how I see it. We'll still have hard drives, but we'll be able to make our storage into mobile datacenters too. Apple will just make it cooler to do so, with style of course.
Let's hope that they do change their policy then. I'm quite tired of seeing Slashdot go boom on poor unsuspecting servers, so I hurriedly put together what I posted without actually seeing the fine print, as it were.;)

Try the serial port and copy what you need over the modem software.
I remember doing this very thing from two Macs, one an older SE and the other a newer (at the time) PowerPC.
It'll be slow, but who cares, it will work.

Second rule of Relativity Club:
You do NOT talk about Relativity Club.
With all these exploits and viruses/worms out in the wild, would it be practical to provide computer insurance?
You can find an online feedback form for Governor Taft here:

One possible solution I see to this problem is creating an online database of EULA's from various offending products.
Consulting this database before making your purchasing decision would be a prudent venture, I feel.
Is this viable?
Title says it all.

It helps if you show your email address so one can invite you.

The windows version listed for download at the FireFox product page is not the same as the windows version listed on the main download page.
Just a heads-up to everyone rushing to download without checking. The mozilla.org web guys might want to fix that too.
Cheers.
The correct spelling is 'Boba Fett', not 'Bobba Fett'.

Or better yet; clean, efficient and intuitive.
I recently wrote about some future distribution ideas for Haiku. Please check it over and tell me what you think.

Add BeOS to that list too.
/boot/apps but can be anywhere the user finds it convenient. (Like in /boot/home/apps if so desired.)
Download zip or package (pkg) file. Unzip or run package to "install". Delete application folder if you want to "uninstall".

Just an fyi for those that want an example of how an alternative OS handles applications.

Definately needs some work. I think a better approach is to just strip any and all tags from the pdf and present it as plaintext as much as possible.
Wouldn't have formatting issues with text screaming off to the right, like it is now.
I'm also hosting the PDF directly, here:
