Hrm, doesn't anyone think that these people calling themselves the "gang of four" is a bit, like, wrong?
I mean, the original "gang of four", Mao's henchmen in the cultural revolution, were terrible people.
I mean, it's like if some people wrote a book on 4th generation programming languages and called themselves the "fourth Reich" or something.
Or created a foundation for OO design research and called themselves "Al Qaeda". ('al qaeda' = 'the foundation' in Arabic
Eeh, whatever.
If they don't want people taking their bandwidth, then they should A) use WEP, or B) not use a band that's UNREGULATED by the FCC.
I mean, how stupid can these people be? for a metaphore, imagine the 'commons' grazing land for cows or whatever (except practicaly unlimited in size). It's like nokia claming that people are stealing their cattle's food because you ride your cows in with their heard. or something.
Is human slavery moraly OK? What about killing off the Jews? "society" used to think that those kinds of things were perfictly OK, so by your argument they must have been at the time?
The law does not make something right or wrong. Each person needs to make that choice for themselves, and if their decissions cause to many problems for everyone else they need to be removed.
An existing medical condition says the exact same thing as pre-existing.
The word "existing" only implies existence, not historic existence. A view of a movie takes two hours, a preview does not. In addition, 'view' is generally used as a verb, not a noun.
Yes, trailers used to be at the end of the movie, but people stopped watching them.
A heated oven is the same thing as preheated oven, though.
In other news, Newark International Airport was shut down, because planes create excessive G-Force pressure on take-off. And accelerating your car too quickly? That's a no-no too.
Accelerating at 5.6gs in a car? Yeah, I can see that. If you drove it into a wall.
if women don't like it, they don't have to appear in it.
If women don't like gettin' beat, they don't have to stay married to wife abusers. But they do, the world isn't really that simple. They also might not know how their images are going to be framed.
anyway, what's more demeaning, "this bitch loves my cum", or the actual act of getting threewayed, tell me.
Well, if I got fucked by two chicks, I wouldn't consider myself 'demeaned' at all, why should it be 'demeaning' for a woman to enjoy, and have intresting sex?
I mean really, we've been suffering with this lo-fi telephone stuff for a long time. Obviously the technology exists to have higher sample rate/depth audio even on simple computers. I remember recording "CD quality" sound with my 75mhz Pentium and a cheap $5 mic from radio shack. Yet telephones still use incredibly low sample rates.
We could even use some kind of audio compression on the data to achieve and end up using about the same amount of bandwidth. That normal telephones use now. I mean, a two channel mp3 sounds OK at 112kbps, so a one channel one should sound near CD quality at 56kbps.
If a cell phone came with VoIP on a G3/G2.5/whatever cell net, I would imagine it would be pretty easy to get it to run with high quality audio. Assuming that anyone would care.
(It would also probably require modifying the earpieces in cell phones, as they are obviously not designed for high quality audio)
I was calling him a moron, specifically, for complaining about objective evidence that it's better. How can one Turing complete language ever be objectively better then another one? I mean, I'm assuming he's asking for a rigorous mathematical proof of... something...
Otherwise there's lots of statistical information that could lead us to the conclusion that OOP is better. Such as case studies, etc, that show OOP to be easier to code/maintain/etc.
I'm talking about the text that accompanies the images. Stuff like "This bitch loves my cum" or "I got this chick drunk and played a trick!" or "See what this slut does for $20".
Normally, I don't even see the text on porn sites, since I wrote a special browser that just downloads the linked pics:P. I do check the pages out occasionally, and it's pretty lame.
Anyway, a skank is a woman who's dirty and will probably give you an STD. Just because a girl is promiscuous doesn't mean she's a skank (porn producers usually require STD checking before hiring people). You're thinking of 'slut', which I find to be a rather retarded title. Basically insulting women for doing what 90% of guys would do if they had the chance.
Yes, people are stupid. Yes people can make money.

Well, yeah. People are stupid, and it's easy to take there money. That dosn't mean that you should or that it's some how a good idea to do it.
The other problem is that it creates a situation where everyone tries to pander to the lowest common denominator. Just look at the sorry-ass state of 'portals' before google came along. Google just gave us what we wanted and no bullshit, and now they serve up 97% of the links out there. (google is kind of my inspiration for ap. I figure the 'net pr0n world is so full of crap that if I just provide a non-pandering, bullshit-light site most people would prefer it)
But yeah, those other BS portals still make money, but they are still bullshit and they waste peoples time and they contribute nothing to the world at all.
Will this new napster make money? yeah, probably. Porn always makes money:P. Will it contribute to the world? Will it actually let people find good pr0n quickly? I really doubt it. Instead they'll be mislead, by more 'controlled media' to buy crap from this company.
Heh, well I don't really want to spend my whole life, or even really that much time looking at random porn on the internet.
One of the reasons that autopr0n doesn't have as many links as some of the other TGPs is that rather then just a simple 5-7 word description, we actually go a bit more in-depth usually. Also, mods need to mark down the properties the image falls under (like Asian, lesbian, etc) so people can search for stuff.
It takes me like an hour or two to post just 32 links, which is what I try to go for when I'm on the ball.
(btw, if you're wondering what I mean by "we", I'm talking about myself and the other volunteer moderators for the site. There are like 30 or something, but only about 7 or 8 really active ones.)
Also, I do try to have a life. I'd like for AP to have a higher volume, though. If you'd like to help out you could sign up as a mod (just email me). And if you're just interested in links, you can look through the thousands that I have sitting in the queue:P
Well, they are buying napster for the name

So one guy/gal buys the "top quality" stuff and then trades it to the rest of the Pornster users for free. How, exactly, does one make money this way?
Bit rate and file size limitations....
Was it really that hard to figure out?
They can also lock out specific files by hash code or something, so unless people downloaded and then reencoded their stuff, it wouldn't be an issue. Of course, people would do this, but that's what the bitrate/filesize limits are for.

Hrm, Is your sig sarcastic? I once had a sig that read "the vast majority of people who oppose the death penalty have never been victims of violent crime --- CNN". Now obviously, I was making fun of CNN's idiocy. But people started attacking me for having such a logicaly moronic statement in my sig, thinking I belived it.
So I'm wondering, are you being sarcastic, or are you just a moron?

You have to be much smarter than a hacker to catch a hacker. The few people with that level of skill can earn three times as much in industry.
Three times as much as what? Unethical hackers? I didn't know there were a lot of positions for offensive hackers.
(but I imagine that a position in industrial espionage pays more then a position in security...)
Are right and wrong physical things? Can you touch them? Can you put them in a bottle? can you detect them chemicaly or via radio perception?
No. You can't. They do not exist. They are ideas. Ideas do not exist. Deal with it.

Once we start using 'slppery slope' arguments, it just opens the door for ad-hominm attacks, arguments from ignorance, and all kinds of general idocy.
And all bets are definitely off when quantum computers arrive on the scene.

You neglect to mention that they were alleged to have joked about commiting acts of destruction. There is a pretty big diffrence.
