If there is more than one using the file sharer, I agree that you have a problem. However if you are sharing via UDP, it shouldn't really be an issue.
What I do is somewhat cruder because one system serves files (it has a shared file area) and runs a p2p client. Other systems use the common file area for downloads. Without private filesystems for Pp2p, it makes it kind of difficult for my son to grab pr0n.
However, I had heard something about a Gnutella proxy on their site but I have no idea what is happening about it.
By default, NAT allocates outbound connections dynamically but typically you also have the ability to configure static inbounds.
This will map an inbound connect to a particular IP address on your local nextwork. You can only configure one port/protocol combo to a particular local address, but it works fine, whether you have a local Web server or a P2P application on your side of the firewall.
On the subject of Amnesty, both the US and China have one thing in common, that is the number of judicial executions. Only in China, they like to make it a public event.
China is a far from free country or market. The only people who have trumpetting this are those who are trying to make a lot of money out of selling things to the chinese. Mind you, after PATRIOT and a few other things, the US may get there too.
I run DSL too (a faster version though) and limit my uploads to 2, I find that better than bandwidth throttling. The router/firewall shares the bandwidth nicely, so both uploads go reasonably quickly at about 8KB/sec each (thats bytes).
Your point about file names is a given. Fast-track might be scumware but allows you to meta-tag files which is useful. This what I miss most when I use Gnutella.
OTOH, I allow inbounds for P2P on my firewall and I have no problems sharing files.
The problem always existed with P2P networks that they could be poisoned, with misleadingly named files for multimedia files and viruses for wares.
A system that permits sharing of copyrighted material is hardly going to provide a simple way back to resolve the real originator of the material. It is difficult to prove but probably likely that many bad files come from persons connected with the production and distribution of the original material.
There are several sites now that publish checksums and sizes of P2P files. If you trust the site, then you have a way of validating files.
The main issue remains is so-called leaching. That is, those who take but do not give. This may be out of fear or out of selfishness or it may even be just that the user is new. The community response seems to allow small downloads to anyone but to restrict larger downloads to those who do share themselves. I believe there are even some automated tools that will perform this check.

Um, the WTO thing was crap. The Chinese are into Cargo Cult Capitalism with no democracy. Yes, they are tough on corruption, but only when the right persons are not paid off.
China is not a free society, but for US domestic reasons it was given WTO membership before other countries that were far more deserving. The growth is illusory, the stability is at the expense of repressing all forms of dissent. That is unless you are a businessman either in the PRC's army or have contracts with them.
Many people have issues with the US, but last time I heard, the military didn't run businesses with civillians in special work camps.
On a final point and more on-topic, I agree that the closing of the cafes is more to do with the extreme fire risk they represent. However this does present a convenient excuse.
First of all, if you bought SCSI, it was because of the better performance as against IDE, which typically requires much more work from the host. Why buy an inferior product when you already have something else.
Second thing is whether puting just one IDE on is useful? On my systems IDE has priority over almost anything else and it doesn't like it if you don't then have an IDE system disk (you only need one, but it seems to need it).
I would love to be able to avoid MS totally. Unfortunately, until I can wean my (l)users away.
Ok that is at the office, but what about at home? I don't have a console, but if I did, I would probably go for the PS2 on principle (Sony have got very hacker-friendly with their Linux version). However, the hardware in the X-box looks nice and it would be kind of tempting to sue it, especially for thinsg that MS had not envisaged.
In some foreign places (CIS), you are more likely to see DivX than DVD available, mainly because the main producers haven't got their act together. It is easier to find an illegal version of a movie with local, unofficial dubbing than a legit copy (even on VHS).
There are plenty of other consoles that have been mod-chipped, and many of those are in the hands of non-techies. Quite often it is just so that they can get over regional encodings on games.
Maybe if DIVX is all that the mod will give the non-techie types, then it will fail.
LLNL did a lot for open-source before the FSF. They released a lot of stuff in source code form which found it's way on to the Digital User Group tapes, both Unix and VMS. Most of it was under a not very restrictive BSD-style licence and was used all over the placeFrom the point of view of management and analysis of large data sets, a lot of the stuff had many outside applications.. I certainly remember using their stuff and it was usually quite good.
The worst part of it is that I can't see what the Office of Homeland Security will do with the money.
Last year an idot sold some futures on the DAX (German stock exchange index), the idiot reversed quantity and price (i.e., 20 x 5000) have been a couple of hundred bytes max.
The guy had disabled the price reasonability checks so the order was sent though. Of course it matched against everything so it was impossible to reverse out the trade. Each point in the index is 25 Euros so the total loss represented by the trade is 91 million Euros. It didn't completely execute so the complete value wasn't blown, however, the reduction in the value of the DAX probably caused at least that amount of damage to index linked funds.
Swift passwords aren't bad either (Interbank transfer system) for value per byte if you have a larcenous frame of mind and access to their network. Don't even ask how much gets misappropriated and the transactions are irrevocable.
Um, Natalie a super model? Perhaps the moderator was too inflexible. However, humorless and inflexible moderation has been far too frequent recently. As you say, many of us can correct during M2.
I don't think it needs zero-G, some ladies have enough problems jogging w/o a high-tech sports bra.Super-models are generally not so well endowed so they wouldn't have this problem.
Still get the stupid copyright warnings. I'm not in America, I don't give a fuck about the FBI
If you have a DVD that displays the FBI warning, it is probably Region 1 (i.e., exported from the US/Canada). Regrettably since DVDs will probably end up being better protected against export than munitions, you have already broken the law and are on the MPAA/FBIs most wanted list.
Digital (now subsumed into Compaq/HP) had a 4-GL called Datatrieve. It featured a help file which featured HELP WOMBATS and HELP WOMBATS ADVANCED. I have no idea why this found its way there, but together with the example database for a yacht charter agency, gave rise to a series of cartoons which appeared in the later introductory manual featuring yachtsmen and wombats as margin illustrations. The user group published a document called "The Wombat Examiner".
Regrettably, the latest version of Datrieve does not feature WOMBATS as a sense of humor is no longer permitted.
One of the techniques used in computer assisted animation is to film an actor wearing a dark costume with strategically placed reflective dots. Cameras feed images through for processing which allow the animation process to be made more realistic (i.e, no cartoon physics). The raw output of the system is an articulated stick figure which goes to animate the 3d character.
I guess as this is the movie industry, such stuff would not be cheap and probably require a beowolf cluster or two to run it.
It's OT, but the suit is coming from a lawyer of dubious reputation in Munich who makes his money about defending other people's IP, often without them knowing about it, Regrettably, this is permissable under German law where the lawyer act's as an agent of the court.
However, an asterisk '*' is a symbol whereas Asterix and Obelix refers to a comic strip. I guess even though they are in Germany, they should be safe from predatory law-suits.
RDB is not built into any version of VMS. It is layered on top of VMS (these days, it isn't even from the same people). RDB layers its storage containers on top of a standard VMS file system. However the standard VMS filesystem is rather a lot more powerful than many with integral ISAM support and the possibility of recovery-unit journalling (you pay extra to turn it on, but it comes as part of RMS).
There were systems with DB filesystems, but that was stuff like MUMPS or Pick.

Regrettably, some games require their copy protected disks to be left in the drive, so you end up with a performance hit when playing.
