The way I see it, I think the students and the RIAA made a deal, something like this. RIAA we get to say that you had to pay us $17K a piece, but we won't make you pay as long as you don't disclose anything about the case. Reason being, is that the RIAA knows that they are wrong, but the students are scared.
Read this article, and see if you still respect SBC (if you still did). Selected highlights...
2 1/2-hour meeting, he chided the commissioners for forcing him to rent his phone network to competitors at cut-rate prices. Their actions were ruining SBC's profits and diminishing its ability to compete, he said. In his trademark unhurried Texas cadence--and with his trademark directness--Whitacre explained that their actions would come back to haunt them. Keep the rates low, he warned testily, and SBC would be forced to start firing its Michigan employees. Within several quarters, the telco might even be bankrupt.
one-man crusade to repeal federal rules that require SBC to resell its network at deep discounts. He decried the regulations in speeches to investors and trade groups. He sat with federal policymakers, members of Congress, and newspaper editorial boards. In each meeting he trotted out the same stats: SBC was losing over 12,000 customers a day, revenue had dropped more than $1 billion in the first half of 2002, and the company was cutting jobs--20,000 of them in 2002.
"The FCC ruling sends a terrible message to businesses across every sector. It simply isn't fair," he says. "But they'll say I'm whining."
My brother bought a VPRMatrix after insisting it was cheaper than a Dell. (It's not by any stretch of the imagination). The internal 802.11b internal antenna does not work, the laptop is flimsy, and it runs extremely hot. And who knows what kind of support he'll be able to get?
You now that there is a special edition coming out down the line, and the date of release for that matter! None of this, I bought the DVD and they fleeced me be releasing a special edition.
This is just crazy. I'll never buy, or use a DRM enabled phone. This is part of reason I won't get a Verizon phone, they won't allow you to download any applications to the phone unless its through them, and you pay a subscription for it.
While I'm sure car enthusiasts will enjoy the new names, why didn't they name them after AOL-TW properties, which would probably be possible since they are of the same family, perhaps...
Frodo for the browser (fast on his feet) and Bilbo for the email client, etc.
People are going to realized how unreasonable the industry is. Suing a student for billions of dollars is going to cost them AT least that much in ill will, and that, is a good thing.
As a person who purchased the Limewire Pro version twice, I have to disagree with Adam Fisk's FUD. As a longtime user of Limewire (indeed, even the recent versions), I'm saddened by this FUD. I'm now a happy Shareaza user.
Why would Shareaza want to bootstrap off the Gnutella name? To me, Gnutella certainly embodies a spirit of openess, but it also reminds me of the worse performing P2P app there is (with certain exceptions).
Gnutella2, no matter how you feel about the name, simply out performs many of the current P2P programs out there, including the newest version of Limewire. It is also developed at a much faster pace than most clients, and its free. Its also free of ads and spyware.
To say that Gnutella2 offers nothing better than Gnutella just doesn't seem true to me. I can tell the difference, and I'd imagine a lot of other people can too.
Limewire was touting GUESS as an enhancement to Gnutella that has been abandoned. It was for this enhancement that I registered for Limewire Pro the second time. Now, I find out that they are just going to make a few changes to the old protocol. That's not what I invested/paid for.
I also think its silly that the Gnutella community at large refuses to even look at this new protocol because of the way it was introduced. It was introduced because we are all sick of the slow pace of development in the Gnutella community. On the internet, 6 months might as well be 2 years.
Until I see otherwise, classic Gnutella is all but dead. It's inefficient, with a limited horizon, and traffic intensive.
I'm also sorry that I registered and supported Limewire.
Here are some links to download the windows copy of the game.

For best results, use Shareaza.
...is that Shareaza is free of ads and spyware, and give the end user the best experience that can be had on any Gnutella class clients. That's what matters in the end.
I'm also sorry I supported Limewire twice by purchasing the pro edition to support their efforts. Wasted money. Live and learn I guess.

Why would I ever want to use a debit card when I can instead:
Use a credit card and earn 1% cash back on all purchases. Float the banks cash for 40+ days.
Makes no sense. Get a cash back credit card. The Chase Stockback card works well for me. www.stockback.com
I'm a college grad, and I think grade inflation is a blessing. After all, its all arbitrary anyway, and I'd rather walk out with a 4.0 then a 3.0 anyway.
True story. I got a Dell laptop with their Ultrasharp LCD screen. It is incredible. Fast refresh, deep contrast, good black levels. And no headaches. It was getting to the point where I could not look at a CRT for more than an hour at a time. I do not have that problem anymore. After a few months of using the machine, I've noticed that my eyesight has improved from not staying in front of a CRT. Don't knock an LCD until you've used a premium one.
Sadly, similar physics have not been used for any of the body attributes so players looking for jiggling breasts will need to wait for Itagaki's Xbox offering; this quite honestly hurts on the realism level too as it points out that these girls are static objects, not moving, flowing athletes

For instance, in some cases, the team of girls will slowly embrace and caress each other in a fashion that couldn't possibly be construed as anything but erotic. It's kind of out of place, but we're not complaining.

I think the best new feature on the new Ipods is Solitaire! Also, 99 cents per song is a little high, but fair.

I highly recommend looking at the image. It looks like something out of Star Trek, or any other sci-fi show. Glowing blue things and all.

You can have multiple machines behind NAT by forwarding different ports to different machines.
Greg Ballard as far as I know, is/was CEO of both 3dfx and SonicBlue. See the connection? Sonicblue is going to go the way of 3dfx.
