  1. Re:The reason this is a issue on Faster Feeds Using FeedTree Peer-To-Peer · · Score: 1

    People put their RSS-aggregator to reload every fifth minute, if you're lucky you might get a real ad impression once a day. Getting any money from that kind of advertising is extremely hard compared to the cost of providing the service.

  2. The reason this is a issue on Faster Feeds Using FeedTree Peer-To-Peer · · Score: 1

    Is because RSS doesnt pay. There's no way to monetize the RSS-feed which often can be a large burden on a server in terms of CPU (if dynamic) and bandwidth.

    Micropayments would solve this. Pay 0.001 for every reload automaticlly and you wouldn't need a solution like this. Fix that and solve thousands of small problems at once.

    Something most people here are missing is that the nordic / scandinavian countries are secularised. We wouldn't give a shit about it if someone did just that.

    I read in a article that someone down in Libanon (Beirut) said that either the publishers of the cartoons were trying to provoke (ie starting a war) or clueless.

    I think they were just curious.

    I just dont like rules about what I can write and what I cannot. Ofcourse, I should choose my friends accordingly, but I really dislike hypocrites that think it's better to kill civilians in iraq than to use a word.

    A keyboard is a real bacteria core. On the keys there are 33 000 bacteria per cm^2 - 265 times more than on a toilet seat.

    It is the computer paper PC för Alla which has had examined what really hides in our keyboards. The labratory Pegasus Lab got the assignment todo the study, which also showed that every cm^2 contained 3100 fungis.

    Not unexpectedly is the return and space keys the dirties, the keys we use most often.

    There are plenty of ways to keep the keyboard clean, but for the one afraid of catching a cold and flue can follow a simple advice from the Smittskyddsinstitutets (swedish health department) Kersin Mannerquist:
    - Everyone must be aware of washing their hands when they get up from the computer, she comments to PC för alla.

    I'm sure you'll also agree it's perfectly sensible to crosscheck that movie tip you gave your aunt against your credit card statement. Just to make sure you didn't *shrug* download it or something. Right? Why not automaticly sending fines to people mentioning they jailwalked or drove to fast to their meeting? You know, they're all *CRIMINALS*.

    Why stop there? Why not earn an extra buck by selling information to Wal-mart? You might be expressing opinions against their monopoly on groceries, that would clearly indicate both an anti-american thinking and some extra vochers. I'm sure certain elements in the white house would like to know which blacks to imprison for minor charges like drug possesions (all blacks are users you know) to make sure they cant vote (but hey, we all know blacks doesnt vote anyway, right).

    All in all, good thinking. Please stop the terrorists. Just make sure you know which ones are the terrorists.

    I was refering to the broken system you refer to here as the patent office. Things like these should not be able to be patentable. As I see it, either the people working for patent offices are a little slow (perhaps older people not really up2date with current tidings?), or they are bribed.

    How can you patent a system (from what I can see at a first glance) that stores data remotely accessable? It's a fundamental feature of all computer network and has been in existance since the first connection between two computers was made.

    There is no fairness, logic or good about that system, it's just broken. My comment refers to that fact, they're fighting over a system that is in my view already so flagrantly failed that I dont care who wins. If Microsoft wins, fine, I'll ignore the outcome. If Visto wins, so be it.

    I've been running linux since redhat 4.2, where's that, 97 somewhere? I've used slack, deb, obsd. I currently maintain five dedicated servers running Linux of which four are business-related (my fathers company and my own). I have also been programming in C and know my way around C++, and ofcourse I've been peeking at the best of the other languages around out there.

    Calling me a retard, in a unprovoked way like this on slashdot calls for being modded troll, as you are, calling me a retard without knowing shit about what I'm talking about is clueless.

    I run Windows on all my desktops for a reason, I dont hesitate for a second that my gf would let me install Linux on her box if I told her that it was as good as windows, however, I do not wish to support her every time something crashed, alt-tabbed away, or a configuration needed to be changed. In windows this is simple, most of the time a little explaination is enough.

    Have you tried running Linux on a modern desktop? LCD-screens, modern graphic cards, sound, usb mice etc, dual cpu rigs? Not need to recompile the kernel? Ha. I have recompiled kernels från 2.0 to 2.6, stable, dev, bleeding edge - does it make me comfortable with it? No. I'm still nervous about it. In windows I can install whatever hardware I want without a sweat. That is windows greatest strenght in my book right now.
