Matt Drudge's father runs this site,AFAIK, a boatload of data links.
Sorry, I'm having trouble visualising that.

The internet has these things called "smilies" or "emoticons", see, that stand in for tone of voice when you type messages. For example,:) would mean that the message is intended in a humourous and/or frivolous manner, and is not to be taken seriously. These "emoticons" allow what might otherwise be seen as an insult or slight to be recognised for what they are, thus preventing angry replies and flamewars.
P2P download: if you have a decent amount of things downloading you need AT LEAST 40G just for your temp directory, and another 20G for the incoming folder.
A meter is something that measures - eg water meter, odometer, thermometer. Commonly confused with metre which is the SI unit of distance.
For americans:
A meter is either something that measures (see above) or a weird unit of distance only used by scientists and geeks. It is commonly confused with a metre, which is a conspiracy by the europeans to make everything two thirds smaller. They don't need double garages, because their car fits in one!
It's about bandwidth and time. If you have a dodgy connection, then downloading a file of size N may screw up with a probability P of *approximately* 1 - exp(-Nl) where l measures the dodginess of the connection. As POP has no resume, the number of times the file has to be downloaded on average is 1/(1-P), and so the time spent downloading it is: O(N/(1-(1-exp(-Nl)))) = O(N/exp(-Nl))=O(N exp(Nl)), ie it is *exponential* in the size of the file. Even for people on reasonably stable connections, very large files mean trouble unless they know how to delete them without downloading. Don't do it!
If you don't use a hyperlink on a website, are you committing a crime?
It's not about the existence (or not) of the link, but the source of the URL. While I don't agree with it, I think what they are saying is that if a site doesn't publish a URL (usually through a link, but could be in print, etc) it is not public information and accessing it is unauthorised access. This is the same attitude (if not specific issue) that has a problem with deep-linking too.
This is happening in every industry. And to answer your specific question, the whole world will not have to, we will have plenty of professional photocopier demonstrators. They in turn will need to be shown how to use the bathroom every few hours though...
to the average Joe, the advantages of FOSS are obvious.
No, maybe to the average slashdot.org/~joe the advantages are obvious, but the average Joe doesn't know FOSS exists. Heck, 5 minutes ago, I didn't know FOSS existed;-)

Okay, I'm running a network at home with a DSL external modem/router/hub. There are 6 computers hooked up to it. 5 are transient workstations, one is a server that is on 24/7. These computers share an external IP.
Does this mean I have to run slow transient servers on every node rather than just running off the proxy for the internal server?
My network is closed and trusted, I don't see any privacy issue in distinguishing between computers (or not).
Quit bitching. It's open source, and written in java. It would take all of 30 seconds to port.
Some people...

... but at least it's not an ask slashdot:).
Has anyone had any luck getting the proxy to bind to interfaces other than loopback? The docs refer to fcp.allowedHosts, fproxy.allowedHosts, and fproxy.bindAddress. I've tried all these, and fcp.bindAddress, in all possible combinations, binding to all interfaces and allowing all hosts. And yet still "telnet 127.0.0.1 8888" works, and telnet "192.168.2.1 8888" fails.
Without this, I have to run a server on every computer on the network;-(

Who ever said microsoft wasn't scalable?
(ducks) :)
No. Just because the website owner isn't committing a crime, it doesn't mean Gator (moz, etc) is. Remember, Gator brought the suit.
Yep.
Is that like a microsoft workstation? :)
You, my friend, have too much money.
Opera?
Um... it's under the "funny" icon, the site is called "Humorix" and the description includes the word "satire"... what was your point again?

Personally, I cannot use IE anymore because I am so accustomed to this feature.

Only half true. Microsoft offers a little known Word 2000 viewer (and similar viewers for Excel etc) that is available gratis.

Well it must be, otherwise how would a server know whether to answer a request?
Check the EULA.
