Seems like a reasonable compromise to help eliminate spam. If you are sending out more than that, you probably should pay for a commercial account of some kind, or a mailing service.
On the Digital Spy website, an article states that the broadcast flag is necessary, and without it, high quality programming will migrate off of free television. My question is, didn't this happen years and years ago, or was it even there in the first place?
Did you see what the unions had to say about this technology? I'm sick and tired of the whining that 'It'll take away jobs.' I know I'd go to a store that has such a useful technology. I hate waiting in a checkout line so a union checker can check me out. I want to scan my items as I shop so I can leave quickly. Sure, self-checkout is ok, but this is even better.
The problem was that the chipsets to support Bluetooth were too expensive. If it's not cheap enough, no one will support it, and thus it won't get any cheaper. Lather, Rinse, Repeat. Also, times that I had to use Bluetooth for research products, the thing never worked right. Anything between different vendors was a joke.
This is just posturing. Even if they were able to pull it off, imagine how many hashes each song would have. How many different versions of each song do you typically see on a P2P network? It has to be server oriented to work, and is nothing more than a smoke screen for Kazaa, not that I am a record label sympathizer.
I read somewhere that in the early 50's, Motorola would strap two way radios on the heads of live pigs and expose them to *much* more radiation than a typical cell phone would emit. No ill effects were reported.
"I am sorry for what I have done. I love music and don't want to hurt the artists I love." I think she meant to say, I'm sorry that you (the RIAA) won't be able to buy a new Benz this year because of falling sales.
The early loss of Douglas Adams is really a loss to the whole world. He really brought something special, and the world is a darker place without him. Read his books if you haven't, they are great.
There's a tremendous oppurtunity for the government to regulate, tax, and profit from this by legalizing it and bringing it back on shore, and help make up budget short falls.
If you know where to look, and what you are looking for, usenet is ok. It kind of has that wild west, last frontier kind of charm. btw, if you hate having to decode stuff by hand with the various newsreaders, www.easynews.com is great for various binaries
...a motherboard manufacturer thumb their nose at the establishment. Although your more than likely to have your shares scanned over the Internet, then the RIAA come and steal your hard drive.
Who could ever forget the awesome software company Central Point Software? Their PC Tools and famous Copy2PC were high quality, and very useful products. Anyone that was anybody had Copy2PC, a program that could copy nearly ANY copy protected floppy disk. They even came out with a floppy controller that did the same thing.
If Canada bell is anything like the bells over in the US, they had it coming. The US bells have been abusing people for over 100 years. Normally I'm for the free market system, but sometimes, enough is enough. (note that if we hadn't granted them a naturally monopoly in the first place, perhaps we wouldn't have the problems we do now).
If someone is willing to pay a lot of money for something, why shouldn't they? eBay is a very fair marketplace. It allows sellers to obtain maximum value for their product. If someone wants to pay more for something, why not let them? With state budget crunches (although I beleive that cutting spending is the answer), this will only help, and not harm anyone. Honestly, people get bent out of shape if someone is willing to pay for something that you aren't. Why is this?
Does anyone know if they have FINALLY fixed that saved form information bug? Meaning that if I choose not to save the information entered in forms, it still does anyway because it doesn't listen to your preference?
A long (10+ years) while ago, at my second job at a major fast food chain, we had this new manager who was a complete jerk. He had an abusive personality, and thought he was above us. So while he was in the walk in freezer, me and two other co-workers just left. What a rush! The next day I called work to see if we still had a job.
The other manager said, I see you are on the schedule, so see you at 5.
The results? The mean manager guy was nice to us and nothing bad happened. Work was much more reasonable and not so unpleasant. And note, this was at a fast food place, where people are easily replacable.

when alice initiates the broadcast, her node first sends out prebroadcasts. Prebroadcasts are announcements for content. Using prebroadcasts, alice's node essentially says, "i'm about to send TheMatrixReloaded_Divx.avi, who wants it? Her node sends prebroadcasts to all of its immediate neighbors in the network, and these neighbors forward it to all of their neighbors, etc. Lots of nodes in the network get this prebroadcast, and the path the prebroadcasts travel look something like this:
Let's see. Sun decides to release commodity hardware with the option to take commodity software, and charge a non-commodity price. So what makes Sun better than say, Dell, HP or the many other commodity vendors? Sun will be finished at this rate.
Please, do not worry about all this Clearchannel nonsense. As time goes on, people will tire of this type of programming. This happened with television in the 60s and 70s, and broadcast has all but died, due to competition from pay TV. When the networks (ABC, CBS, NBC) just did the same old programming and copy off each other, they lost marketshare and created an opening for alternatives. The same thing will happen again. The free market system works, it just takes time.

I'm going to give a large amount of pages for userid #1 for his trouble of bringing us a great site full of first posts, hot grits, etc.
