I think mouse gestures are incredibly well suited for a browser - the mouse is the controller for the web, anyways. Keyboard shortcuts might be faster, but if you have to search for the keyboard first, they sure aren't.
It's got nothing to do with believing. It's the theory explaining the given evidence in the scientifically best way. It's not a static model, it's been changed and advanced over the decades, and its current version is only one step of many to come. Anyone is welcome to present a scientifically sound model that explains the given evidence in a better way.
IMO IRC scales extremely well, and most of the problems you see on DALnet are likely due in large part to people abusing the network. Lag and splits? Get rid of the spambots and the DDOS idiots, and they will go away.
Absolutely correct. IRC is (obviously) vulnerable to abuse, but that doesn't mean it doesn't scale well. One typical IRC user generates, what, 20 bytes (=chars) per second of traffic upstream and 500 bytes downstream (user perspective)? That's 0.02 kps up and 0.5 kps down. Well, if it's not a user but an abuser, that traffic goes up by a facter of 100 or more. If you've got a lot of people doing that, the server is bound to choke on it, although it could quite easily manage the same number of regular users.
I'm sure the same problems apply for AOL chat services, and would have applied 8 years ago.
The movie has been available as a high quality subbed DVD-Rip, and if you didn't get the story you must not be too smart. It's a (brilliant) children's movie, and as such can be understood by anyone above the age of 8. It's way less weird than the ending of Mononoke Hime.
Well, that means you're not sharing any files over the internet, much less copyrighted ones. You have no reason to protect yourself against them. People who do share files might be safe if they do block that net mask. OTOH, maybe they're too smart for that.

The more laws you force everyday users to break the more ridiculous you make yourself look and the more socially acceptable piracy gets[1]. Way to go, Microsoft.
[1] And that's something, considering how utterly socially accepted MP3s already are.
Also do realize that 5% is about the same number of people who vote for the Greens, Communists and FDP (Liberals).
Eh? Greens and Liberals get 7 to 8% each and the so-called Communists get another 5%. 20% != 5%. Oh and your observations on the rabid German computer users who install Linux out of principle are a bit peculiar, too.
Well so what. They're not changing the APIs now, are they? That's right, because now it's the final version, and not experimental code with labels "functionality might change!" all over it. I'd much rather they develop a high-quality, future proof API now than redo everything one year later. (And I'm not saying it's high-quality or anything, I'm not in the position to judge that.)
Yep, Oth rules. And it's from way back. I distinctly remember how I got my first music using Oth when that whole MP3 thing was still very mysterious. I barely knew what FTP was, but after being lucky enough to not find a ratio site I acquired what I had been looking for. In the meantime since using it years ago I used a lot of P2P, but now I'm back to Oth for any serious fix.:)
FTP servers are a good source, anyhow, because you get full albums, high quality and all this without really having to do anything manually. You often have to put something into it, that is upload an album the siteop doesn't have, yet, but with nice siteops this gets you a personal login with an extremely good ratio (upload 1 kb, download 10) or even leech access.
You can record anything you hear. There's always analogue recording as a last resort, but I doubt they'll manage to keep out programs like Total Recorder.
There are a lot of ISPs that don't have their own Usenet servers anymore. Those who do often don't carry the large volume *.bin.* groups. Germany's largest broadband ISP is an example for this. I'm surprised the RIAA isn't sueing the remaining into not carrying the (majority of the) bin groups, their whole purpouse is to violate copyrights, after all.
There are free servers, but non-surprisingly, they're crap. The decent ones are pay services. They're pretty cool, though, if you're willing to pay for Warez.
Eh? I know that was supposed to be a joke, and it went right back at you for acting as if you had any clue about what you're talking about, when you, in fact, have not.
Not one link, eh? Plenty?
I didn't post any URLs, because as I said others already mentioned them in comments. But anyway, here you go.
Various sites specialised in files of certain languages (French, German), such as Spieleplanet
etc etc etc - just search for eDonkey links.
There are also IRC channels and uncounted web boards (similar to Asia Movies) dedicated to sharing ED checksums.
Oh, and about the checksums... look at a popular song, and see how many variations exist in file size at the same quality. Are you saying different files with different sizes won't have the same checksum?
No, I am saying, in fact, I said, that is completely irrelevant. We're not talking about sharing files as in Napster or Audiogalaxy (where you seem to draw your experience from). There's only ONE valid version of each single/album (single MP3s aren't usually spread), the first high-quality, complete release by a scene group. All later releases are dupes, and not distributed. You get the checksum to that release, and you're set.
As mentioned above, sites like ShareReactor pose as a single point of failure. The RIAA could (arguably) close down SR, which would be a tremendous loss for the ED2k P2P community. Of course, other sites or other ways of checksum distribution would spring up to try and fill that void - while not unpoisonable, I'd agree that the eDonkey network is very well defended against it.
You obviously aren't very experienced in the whole warez scene thing. Not that I'd blame you, but the original poster knows more about it than you do from reading PC Magazine.
I say you're talking lame trash, unless you host it on YOUR site. YOU be the victim of **IA lawsuits. Unless you post a link to a site where you plan to host such a wonderfull page, shut the f**k up.
There already are plenty of these sites, others mention concrete examples. So far, they have not yet had a problem with the RIAA, perhabs because what they do (provice checksums, not files) is not illegal, perhabs because the RIAA does not yet consider them relevant. However, in any case, it is way easier to spread checksums by various means - internet boards, email lists, usenet, IRC - than spreading the actual file. If the situation arises, and the P2P net is "poisoned" with invalid files (and invalid checksums) I'm sure it won't be hard to acquire the valid checksums and download the correct files. Of course, "poisoned" clients sending out fake files with wrong checksums will still be a problem.
On a more technical issue, you you really think different rips of the same movie will have the same checksum? What if one rip is one second longer or shorter? Or the ripping prog compreses it in a slightlt different way? bang... different checksums.
Why would there be different rips? Typically, each movie is released only once (by groups specialising in it), all other releases are "dupes" and are not do be distributed. The same is true for virtually any sub-category of the scene, such games ISO/RIP, utils and audio.
IE doesn't come even remotely close to Opera's speed, not on my current system (XP1800+), and not on my previous system (Duron 850). The rendering speed is about the same, but try switching through different windows: Opera switches instantly, while IE has a noticable delay. That's where Opera's true strength is, and only with this feature multi-window surfing is truly feasible for me.

I'm not sure, but perhabs the article wrote cm when they meant mm. That'd make more sense.
Woah. The Zaurus still goes for 460 Euros around here - for the Euro equivalent of 300 I'd already have bought one. :/
LOL! I can't believe this got modded up as insightful. Although I'm sure the author posted with best intentions. :)

You should read Descartes. You're halfway there to deduce "cogito ergo sum" on your own.

Yep, 3 out of those 4 would make installing this a pain or even impossible. Fortunately, I didn't even try.
Well, it works for my hardware.

It is. You might want to try nevertheless. It's not bad at all.
