I wonder if Lars has ever personally heard an MP3.... He keeps stating they are lossless copies of the masters, but they are technically low bitrate lossily compressed copies of the CD. I don't think he could be more wrong. I have some MP3s that are shittier than FM Radio, Cassette tape, etc etc etc. Plus, how does he know that people who are downloading the Metallica songs don't have a copy of the CD? Or they did and it was destroyed, badly scrached, or they have a slow ass computer that makes ripping a joke? I had a 166 that took 15 minutes just to compress a song. When I got my 350, it takes about that much to rip the whole damn CD. It's all relative. They don't know the motive of the downloader. Plus, how can they be removed? I could call an MP3 N0Th1n6 3l53 MaTt3r5 - M3tall1ca and they couldn't block it unless they filtered out "L33t 5p3ak" terms too. Good luck, Metallica. They did convince me they aren't as much of assholes as I thought, but they are truly clueless about the whole thing. My $0.02:-)
I used to do this all the time back when my parents would ground me from the computer: 1. Place Palm in hotsync cradle, Disconnected from computer 2. Get a Female DB-9 to Male DB-24 adapter (If you can't find one, make one out of anything you can, including other adapters) 3. Get a null modem, Male DB-25 to Female DB-25 or vice versa 4. Connect everything in the sequence that I listed them in 5. Plug that into the back of an external modem. I had a 56k working before:-) Use it as if it were a palm modem. It is also portable, but not as portable as the palm modem:-)
If you need help, mail me at paul(at)timmins.net and I will help you figure it out. This applies to anyone. -Paul
""You don't mark something safe for scripting unless you are going to let someone activate it remotely," he said." Huh? Shouldn't that be: You don't mark something safe for scripting unless you are !NOT! going to let someone activate it remotely? No. If it is "Safe for scripting", then it CAN be scripted by a webpage. If NOT as you say, then it is unable to be scripted, and therefore, safe.
Considering that you can have multiple sites on the SAME IP, differentiated only by the "Host:" header in your browser, and compounded by the fact a webserver can be placed on ANY port in the 1-65535 port range, to use that theory to find a server is impossible. Remember, infinite number of possible hosts on 65535 possible ports, on billions or IP addresses. Thought I'd throw out that theory:)
Ever seen the Transmeta webpad? OOoooOOhhh I want one of those. First company to come out with one that runs decent gets my business. Has anyone ported linux to ARM? That would be cool to have linux on a low power, portable device.
I have a 333 K6-2 with 128M of RAM in my 286 case, it has two harddrives, and two CD-ROM drives in the place of the one HD and the 5 1/4" Floppies. I then overclocked the 333 to 350, so *I* win heheheeheh:-)
You know, the interesting part is that this for profit organization may turn this database into a company like doubleclick to make a profit from it.
Can you imagine being labeled as a dangerous kid, and the next day having banner ads for gun shops and other interesting potentially destructive things come up on all the webpages?
This may sound backwards but it would feed the system. If you bought a gun from the internet, and DID go and kill people at school, it would encourage people to report more people to the company, who would then feed double click, and they would feed guns to these people, and this repeats ad-nauseum. The kids are being exploited for plenty of personal gain on the behalf of these other agencies.
This may sound paranoid, but admit it, it is not below double click's ethics.... -Paul
Apparently Coke didn't read this part of ICANN's Dispute Policy..... A site about drugs is usually non profit and almost always fair use... It's not your fault that the product was named after its original ingredient (Cocaine)!!!!!!

(iii) you are making a legitimate noncommercial or fair use of the domain name, without intent for commercial gain to misleadingly divert consumers or to tarnish the trademark or service mark at issue.

I have visited parts of the US where they call any type of cola "Coke"... It could be Pepsi, RC Cola, or any other brownish black fizzy drink.
I think this is a case of corporate america wanting every piece of the internet they can grab that they don't already own (Regardless of whether they will ever use it or not, and they won't, so what does it matter to them? Nothing. Their lawyers are bored....)
That's all I have to say without going into a serious rant about this.... -Paul
Dude, I used mandrake for a week or so, and it corrupted my RPM database twice. I couldn't install new packages because the database was hosed. FORGET RPM, and all it's variants. Give me tgz any day of the week!!!!!!!
Amen about the network admin part... Any of you ever got creative enough to try filling a "0" in for the only allow X connections option? It turns off file serving completely. It does bug you on startup, granted, but it's not hard to tell it to continue disabling the file server...
I am going to have to say.. I don't get this facination about first posts, but all you AC's are going to have to go. This is ridiculous and not what slashdot is about or for. Why don't you get out of your bedroom and get a life? You have submitted the "Yet another absolutely stupid Anonymous Coward Post". Beware my wrath, because it is very very undesirable....
My suggestion, if they dont have root, you could just put the source in an obvous location, but chown it all to root, and set it all to be: -rw---------- root root chown root *;chmod 600 * :-) Then it's there, but they don't have access, and can't recompile. That and don't you have to have root to correctly recompile and load the new binaries on? -Paul
Maybe I'm just a little confused and need more sleep, but in linux and NT both you have to have seperate IP addresses for each of the cards, right? My thought is that whatever you use will notice that that interface is down, and rotate off to another one... -Paul
Whine Whine Whine... HA! Why don't you try and make NT stable and maybe we'd have more respect for it... Not likely however with billy at the helm. Oh, wait, that's right, you can't fix your own operating system because you don't have the source code. hmm.
