As a 17 year old, I've nothing to worry about for 6 more months. I can't legally enter into a binding contract as a minor, therefore the EULA doesn't apply to me. Rock.
We are pleased to announce the hard-line strategy of the Union-led volunteers at Ebone in Belgium appears to have finally reaped rewards. Sufficient funds have been provided to maintain operations throughout Europe. This vital capital will be used to cover operational costs for 2 weeks. This includes the salaries for 200 people, of which 40 people will be from the Belgian Operations Centre. During this time, we are very confident of reaching a positive outcome to the negotiations which are continuing to find a buyer for the Ebone network.
It can therefore be confirmed that the now passed deadline of 17.00 C.E.T. for a network shutdown, will not be executed.
How much damage could really come of nobody being in the buildings? I mean, once a network is set up with proper equipment and settings, how bad could it get? Plus, this is supposed to be a massive network... do massive networks really have random outages for no reason at all? I thought their equipment was top-notch..
Computers are just dumb machines, they only do what you tell them to, when you tell them to do it. Right?
The MSNBC story, and the Coop's website, were really great reads. Thank you, Slashdot:)
I learned a lot about what really goes into a broadband connection, and I even went so far as to look up all of their equipment on ebay!
According to media reports the carriers AT&T, Cable & Wireless and the Spanish company Telefonica are interested in taking over the net. Allegedly, AT&T has already made an offer of 200 million US dollars.
You sure it's not illegal? I mean, I can't access lockpicks.com from behind my schools firewall... but then, I can't access the internet wayback machine either...:o
The download isn't too bad, what I pay for my motorola surfboard cable modem and charter pipeline access isn't unreasonable, but the upload is ridiculously low... it's capped at 15k or something, while I'm paying for 128 uploads. I'm gonna do this while I still can (before sommmmebody gets sued):)
By "put away," what methods are you suggesting?
Prison?
Concrete shoes?
In the trunk of a car?
Handcuffed to the floor in a crack house?
Sounds good, but could you be more specific?
I found kazaa lite a few weeks ago while looking around for a new p2p program, and have been using it exclusively.. it's good stuff! If you use ad-aware, you'll see that it really is what it says it is.
I come home tired from work, sit down at my box, looking to read a little/. and the first interesting thing I see... BAM! Slashdotted. Google cache? Loading slowly. Next to no replys and you jackals have already sucked down this poor guys bandwidth? arrrrrrrrrr...
I just flew back from Dayton to LA on a nice Delta jet, but in coach. The lil GTE AirFones proudly screamed at me "NOW, HIGHER DATA RATES!" Flipping through Sky magazine, I found that top speed is 9600bps.. rock! Now I can play LORD in the air!
I'm wondering, could I use this new method, to install a trojan on your machine, then check my site logs to see the IPs of who has downloaded my nasty program? Login: Guest.:)
Amen, brotha! I use my Google search bar allll the time, it's a waste of my valuable time to type "google.com" into my address bar every time I want to search..:)
rock on, google
ah and btw, teoma sucks... I tried using it more than a few times, but I've never found anything relevant to my searches, just sub-searches with even less relevance than I started with.
Don't delete that Morpheus folder just yet! Use this hack I thought up last night for my Invader Zim fan friend who has dialup...
Download and install Grokster. If you really do have unfinished downloads from Morpheus, there will be files in My Shared Folder (from morpheus) with all of your MP3s, copies of Photoshop 6, and porn MPEGs, that look like this:
kazaa78952048753245.dat
(yes, kazaa.)
Move those dat files into the new Grokster shared folder, and fire up Grokster. You SHOULD see those downloads continuing (in the grokster traffic window), but when they're done, they'll save themselves to their original location, c:\progra~1\morpheus\myshar~1\
You know what I mean. Anyway, just copy those Invader Zim episodes and fake AdultCheck keygens into your grokster shared folder and don't be a dick about it, share with everyone else.
And that's my hack to keep those fasttrack downloads going.

Does anyone have a copy of this historic file? Perhaps someone with a beefy server could host it? Or would we all get tossed in jail?
Ha, ha. It's funny 'cause it's spyware.
hmph! So that was y+++NO CARRIER

Memories, BBSs were awesome... I was like, zero years old, on my 286... good times

I can't wait to see /.'s review of Episode One! I mean, what if it sucks?
Allow me to make the first BOFH reference... ah, someone else do it, it's just too easy. :)

"ASCI White will possess more than 160 trillion bytes of IBM disk storage capacity, holding 16,000 times more data than the average desktop PC."
Give me broadband, and a P2P client, I'll eat that up right quick.
This would be great, if it were affordable.. I could pass one out to every person in my neighborhood, hey! no more bitching!
