Don't the broadband licenses already keep this sort of thing limited?
A friend of mine has business class dsl, and got a written statement that the company would not sue if he shared it out. He has it wired for his whole apartment complex now.
Ok, so they tell people to stop showing how to crack open gaping holes. It's not going to happen. You can tell me to run off the edge of the grand canyon, I just won't do it.
Some of these guys live by these exploits though. I mean, take the guy at grc.com, as far as I know, all he does is try to find holes in the Operating System, and tries to get them fixed.
The most pertinant hole related to *nix is the use of Raw Sockets in XP, which he is very vocal against. It seems it makes every user the admin, and allows for easier access to the kernel. As well as making for a nice dos box on the net, and one that would not be aware that it is sending.
Ok, it looks cool. I mean, besides the fact that it's a foot wide, it does, as many have stated.
But I think we need to take off our slashdot goggles and think who this is marketed to.
The n64 was eventually marketed to little kids, come on, pokemon rights were bought exclusively by nintendo. My little brother has one and it's all he plays.
My question is, if they can't type, is it supposed to hold their sippie cup?
I do not believe this theory put forth will be coming to fruition, even though I do like it. There are not enough true fans to stop kazaa/morpheus (same database), gnutella, limeware, bearshare, wrapster, winmx, oh, and IRC.
Anyone can go to a different country where the copywrites are not in effect, and serve up the music.
The only way to stop it would be to stop the internet, and honestly that won't be happening.
I think the ibm hard drive story and the title of the last commentary (the one about the "rip-proof" cd's) pretty much go together. IBM was probably rushed to market on their hard drives, although they usually put out quality product, I.E. deep blue, he he.
I would like to say though, that the book they mentioned is quite excellent. Even though I haven't read it yet, it is one of my favorites.
I'd say congrats. I mean, they stuck through. They even got packaged with some major selling packages, i.e. red hat 7.1. (I don't know what else, if someone could tell me) They've gone far, and should be an example of what other projects should follow.
Oh, and what's with all the spammers on here tonight?
Yeah, but we even adults play with blocks. Take construction, or network administration. Both have to do with building something to a greater end. And that end is having someone else (i.e. people who use dynamite as a living or the end user on a network) destroy it, hence the dog or sister thing. LEGO was just onto something there, and we are all greatful *1..
1. Except for the little sister and the dog. They both wanted to knock down my blocks, but I wouldn't let them. I had my LEGO'S!
What I meant was do you have the capabilities of surround sound? I mean, I have one speaker, whereas most people have 4 or more. I meant just to have more than one speaker, don't take me too technical on this one.
Well, I'd have to say that with my 16 bit sound card and my 1 speaker hooked up to it (that's right one, we've all done it, I don't have the cash flow at the moment to go and buy a Soundblaster 5.1 and 4 speakers and an amp from boston, if I did then I wouldn't put down that I had 1 speaker hooked up to the really old isa sound card that is 16 bit, now would I?) and I can listen to both pretty fine. I think the problem will be three fold. The compression rate, the hardware issue, and the software issue.
1)The compression rate- By this, I do not just mean 64 kbs or 192 kbs, but also what you decoded it with. If you were to do it with software a versus software b, that software may compress it differently, causing tiny bits of saturation in the bass or the higher octanes. Of course, people of the art of music have been using isdn for the longest to do compilations together across great distances. I assume they would know the best way to encode.
2)The Hardware Issue- Do you have surround sound? That would be a major question. I mean, if you are worried about different kinds of files playing the same music, you probably would need surround sound to tell the difference. It's the honest truth. Someone said in an earlier comment that distortion from monitors, your server (they're not workstations, they're servers. Look at the stats, p3 1.7 ghz with 2 gis of ram... what else could it be?) the phone lines, electric cabling, anything. And everything. If you were really into this, you would make a sound room like in music halls. No distortion, sound proof walls, etc. They're pretty cool to have too.:)
3) The software- I mean this as an os and as the software you listen to as well. If you use real player, winamp, freeamp, would that sound better than other said software? What about the os? What services are bogging it down so that you cannot use those resources to power your music.
In conclusion, do what a friend of mine did. Make yourself a "napster box". Hook it up, you only need a 2 gig hard drive. Put on a 4 speed cd-rw, and you don't need anything above a k6-2 for processor. More ram the better though. (Of course). But put on every kind of sound hardware you can. Also only put on a 10 inch monochrome monitor, if any kind of monitor at all. Put it in a closet, and just administer it through the network, voila, sound system. Later

Which version of xp? Which build? Which version of 2000, meaning which service pack? Which build of that? What version of the linux kernel, and what version of linux itself? Was linux using gnome or a windows type of gui, or was it command line?

Wish I had a neighbor like that.
Umm... this is a website dedicated to reporting on open source and the likes..
IIRC, something about interstate commerce, or whatknot.
What does IIRC(Intensive Internet Relay Chat) have to do with it?

This is a waste of hard drive space on the /. servers. Please keep from putting flame bait up on the posts. I doesn't help anyone.

If nothing else, we are one step closer to star trek. My question is, will linux work on these?
Which version of xp? Which build? Which version of 2000, meaning which service pack? Which build of that? What version of the linux kernel, and what version of linux itself? Was linux using gnome or a windows type of gui, or was it command line?
Oh, and what was the speed of the network?
ZOOLANDER SUCKED. It was not even funny. I walked out halfway through it, and no one was really laughing for any reason other than the need to laugh
Wonder if I could run my windows on that.... They have this new product called windows 2002... oops, I mean XP
