'Free' software only really appeals to those people that refuse to pay for software outright... and would end up pirating pay software anyway.
Ads more than likely come in a playlist, where they are displayed as a clip before the actual media.
Ads pay for them to actually stream media for you. If everyone was like smelly GNU hippies are and tried to subvert the content provider by disabling their ads, the content being provided would cease to exist, because there's no one to pay for their bandwidth.
Every student and teacher in the state of New South Wales will have an email address and web access by March. And porn filtering to go with it, according to this article in the Sydney Morning Herald.
That sounds like an evil scheme to hide the truth from the Austrailian schoolchildren that, yes, the New Zealanders are really having sex with the sheep...

I'm a high school student with mild to good hacking skills. If this web system has a fat pipe anywhere I'm on, I can set up a perl script to block-check every IP in the top 10 000 web sites by traffic (there are lists in various places on the net.)
Wow, you must have such l33t 5k1llZ, with perl and all. Looks like you have to try and outsmart tha man to make sure your 15 year old hands stay on that porn!
It's kiddies such as yourself that are the scum of the Internet. As you say, you would gladly eat up the bandwidth of that "fat pipe" just to get a pair of titties on your screen. Grow up. More 'h4CK3RZ' such as yourself need to be locked up as you are a menace to the Internet (no wait, maybe I'm filling your ego...)
As for those abrasions on your penis, I'd suggest waiting a few days without touching it and they'll disappear. For now, why don't you go DDoS someone?
I used to manage a network at a school district that used Novell... You're probably authenticating through a BorderManager proxy server. Every HTTP request made through the proxy is logged with your Novell user name. Stuff that doesn't go over port 80, or other proxied ports is either A) blocked altogether, or B) handled by dynamic NAT. Big Brother is watching.
Of course since your link leads to nowhere but a search page full of ads, I'm speculative as to the credibility of your post:-/

The Microsoft Windows.NET Server project has released a new beta of their IIS 6.0 server. For those who have not been following Windows.NET Server development, this is the third beta that has been produced. With Covalent already selling a commercial version of Apache 2.0, hopefully we will see how open source is a sham, and yes, in a capitalist society, open source is really just a Communist's utopia. It's idiots like Miguel de Icaza who really twist the scenario --- Oh yeah, open source is you know, great and all, but I have to do other stuff and actually sell it so I can make a decent living.
It's people like RMS and ESR that make me wonder... people actually look up to these guys? Yeah, RMS knows Unix, and so do many others, but those many others don't resemble a homeless man in downtown Chicago eating out of a street trash can.
But yet, they fool the young of our society. Their "Linux" is somewhat akin to a drug dealer tempting a child with drugs... it gives them something exciting to play with, yet they are completely unaware of the downward spiral they are getting sucked into by the Open Source Advocates®. Fools like RMS preach their philosophy like a struggling black-on-white tied Mormon missionary ready to convert you, yet they get paid to speak. But the poor souls who are getting brainwashed by this blasphemy fail to realize that they will never get paid, instead working for free, and searching through apartment house dumpsters for some stale bread and an empty jar of Jif peanut butter, ready to scrape the insides for a savory morsel.
If you're reading this, don't fall into the trap, young man. There is help available. Remember that guidance counselor in high school that told you that you would never amount to anything. Well, keep doing what you're doing and she'll turn out to be right.

The smart asshole moderators tend to mod things as "overrated" often... thereby promoting their agenda by performing a biased moderation, yet not having to deal with the wrath of M2.
I propose we do away with Over/Underrated altogether, or instead make them subject to M2 as well. It kind of defeats the purpose of M2.
Linux is a lot easier to use than MS-Windows. I know. I've installed it in places where computer newbies use it. And I *always* get comments along the lines of, "This is much easier than my computer at home."
Hahahahaha... That's the funniest thing I've heard all day! Thanks.
Wow! Let me... uhm... use this opportunity to illustrate that it is elitists like you that will ensure till the end of time that Linux will never succeed on the desktop.
The parent to yours was probably the most insightful thing I read on/. all week. But since you elitists/purists/whatever tend to have only one opinion, you are hindering your own success.
Linux, in order to gain even desktop acceptance, needs all the features listed and more. Looking to Hell and back for an obscure HOWTO isn't help. Help is help, not HOWTOs, get it? Typing apt-get doesn't qualify as updating. It's crap. You need a Windows-Update lookalike to succeed.
You people remind me of that quote by Mike Myers, "Welcome to all things Scottish... where our motto is, 'If it's not Scottish, it's CRAP!'" If you want to lead to your own demise, by my guest.
Judging from your low user number, there is no changing you. Your primary concern is not for the success of Linux, it's to "keep away those stupid users." You're probably the real-life version of SNL's "Nick Burns, the company computer guy." You probably thing that if someone isn't willing to use vi to edit a.config file in/etc to change their word processor's font size, they should pack up their computer back into its original box and slap a "return to sender" label on the box.
Grow up. Get a life. You are the perfect example of why Linux will never succeed on the desktop. The reason some corporate customers are gradually moving away from *nix to Windows is because of expensive prick sysadmins like you who don't give a shit except to promote their elitist agenda. Reminds me of that troll post between the HR rep and the Unix admin (props to whoever wrote that). So there.
Well let me ask you this. Say you knew nothing ahout computers, and you learned only KDE. You knew it well, but nothing else. Try and do GNOME. You're screwed.
Now, take Apple. Learn System Y.X. Learn the Finder. Now, can you find your way around any version of System? Sure. Shit, Chooser has done the same stuff since like, forever. It mounts devices. How cool.
2) Select the Remote Tab. Under Remote Desktop, select the "Allow users to connect remotely to this computer" check box.
3) Click "Select Remote Users..." and select your users. Note that everyone in the Administrators group already has access.
4) Click OK and you're off.
Also, make sure you have port 3389 UDP/TCP opened on your firewall... that's the RDP port (which is different from VNC, which uses up to 100 different ports, 5800-5899 if I'm not mistaken.)
You need the Remote Desktop Client, or any Windows Terminal Server client. There's ones for almost every Windows OS on the XP CD. You can also go to Start -> Help n Support -> Working Remotely and there is a guide to set up Remote Desktop Web Connection, which installs IIS 5.1 with a web client, so you can basically remote to your computer from anywhere with a web browser.
I also forgot to mention that one of the perks of Terminal Server is that it can map local host drives to the remote machine, as well as printers, provided the correct driver is available on the remote machine. Purty cool, if you ask me.
