That's exactly what Bittorrent is doing.
In addition, one could just block all connections from 70.85.x.y and 70.86.a.b as that seem to be the ranges where the poisoning comes from.
In the end, I bought a CRT 83cm 16:9 "flat" screen for about 900. The thing weights over 80kg, but I don't move it every day, do I? I understand that these days, such a TV is even less expensive because they're pushing Plasma and LCD screens.
For us 'merkans, that's a 32" screen at $1600 weighing over 175 pounds. Pricing is certainly local to the market, but the same TV today in America would cost around $1000 (if not less), and IMHO is not a better deal than a 50"+ CRT RPTV for a couple hundred more.
You are a bit off with the price calculation: 900 Euro = 1 089.99 US$ (according to google)
Probably because I can't think of any artist that likes to give away his/her music for free.
The nice thing about Napster was that you could chat with someone offering a title for download. I was once talked to by a musician whos music I offered. He had nothing against me sharing his music, just wanted to know which country I lived and how I liked his muisc.
You are obviously living in a different world than me. DVD quality is crap compared to the HDTV divx you can download. And with Bittorrent that mostly takes less than one hour.
As for the possibility of alienating the rest of the world, was it 30 or 40 countries that were with us as of this afternoon? I just glanced at the TV for a second, so I don't remember the number.
Half of which are poor countries that were paid by the US for supporting them.
Oh, and by the way, How many countries are there? How many countries oopose the US position?
No, you don'T have to power down your laptop to insert a PCMCIA-card. I can plug in my Network card all the time and it is recognized immediatly, no problem there.
You know that most (at least the big) UK stores prepare for the Euro right now? You will be able to pay with Euros everywhere in Britain even though it's not the official currency. The Non-Euro EU states will soon become two-currency-countries... don't know how this is smart.
Slashdot Mirror
ST:TAS is non canon as it contains lots of things from other sf universes, for example Known Space (Ringworld).
- South Koreans game a lot.
- South Koreans game with PCs (as Consoles where illegal till last year)
- So they will continue to need current games for the OS they use.
Sure, the currently installed Windows base won't vanish, but the change would happen when games start to require Vista.That's exactly what Bittorrent is doing.

Same here, no Linux no buy.
And then they tell that it centers around Boone while they show a picture of Liam...
Doh, and there I thought we were one step nearer. Would it at least help in building a ringworld?

Clicking on your search gives me useful results and no ads at all. But that may be due to the "personalized search" thing.

The problem is not the price but the fact that the minimum needed graphics will suck another 100 Watt and make quite some noise.

I'm using GNOME 1.4 on a K6-200 and it' smooth. I had to kick nautilus and use gmc as I expected but apart from that, there are no problems.
If you're looking for alternatives, have a look at BerliOS. It uses the software of SF so you won't have to change much.
You could get them at Tuxgames.
AFAIR it is mentioned in the book (by Gandalf) that Elrond and Gandalf where responsible for the flood.

That was what the communists did in fact... at least in East Germany they did - but failed miserably...
But that's not really a problem as you can easily start with the old view...
Are there any of those nice games for Linux btw.?
