JRR was quite surprised that anyone liked his work; after all, it was just a explanation for the imaginary language he came up with. -At least I remember reading Isaac Asimov saying that once.

Hows this? It's not necessary, it has no real reason to exist, and everything that it can do can be done better by existing products? I'm at a loss, and have been ever since it came out, as to why this is becoming a common way of doing things.
Actually, this is old news, it's just a variation on various things done with radar for a long, long time. And you would have to design the "pattern" specific to each waveguide/magnetron/klystron and due to the low quality standards for oven grade waveguides & couplings, they vary quite a bit. So, no magic bullet. And yes, I AM an expert on the subject, according to the Navy.
Well freenet is the obvious
answer to this problem.
And, it actually is pretty much working again, at least the web-based part;
just use a utility like freeweb to insert
your list of songs you uploaded with/SSK@CKesZYUJWn2GMvoif1R4SDbujIgPAgM/fuqid/9// FUQID (freenet link,
only works when you are running freenet), download to your hearts content.
It used to be easier, you could use FROST
to share files and post messages, but someone went insane at the developer end
and decided to make it pretty, and CP free and it hasn't worked for sharing
files since v050903.
Before that, there were several thousand files available, download times were
comparable with Gnutella / E-Donkey, and it was expanding logarithmically.
Many, and I mean WAY to many, people confuse morality and law; it's starting to seem to me that morality and law are becoming mutually exclusive. for instance: The US Constitution can be considered pretty moral, and it's the primary law of this (and all others soon, muahaha) country. But 99% of federal law currently on the books is in violation of the Constitution. So, the federal laws like the cannabis pogrom are ultimately illegal, and in most cases immoral. But as they are enforced by Jack Booted Thugs(tm), they can't be ignored, even if they are wrong. Damn, I'm rambling, sorry.
How did you know I was bitter about popular culture? thats amazing.
I read wilwheaton.com religiously. no, seriously. I worship the website, burn candles, grovel, all that stuff.
A Blog is a persons chronologicaly(?) written views, normally of a personal nature, or a "weB LOG"; it's on a website. It's personal information, on a website. It doesn't flippin' matter what software you use to write it. it's still a PERSONAL WEBSITE. If you are writing down your views in a chronologigal manner for money on a commercial website it's a COMMERCIAL WEBSITE.
..Something I've been having trouble with for several years now. I know it's PC to have a specialized label for every fricking thing under the sun, but... a Blog IS a personal website. You can call it whatever you want, I suppose, and it sure sounds, I suppose, much cooler, but calling a cat a flea transportation system doesn't change the fact that its a cat.
It's a big picture thing. The Apple I & II rocked; everyone had competing hardware formats out, IBM, Timex, Commodore, even Tandy but Apple was just a cool thing started by a couple of geeks in a garage that worked better than the rest. Then they came out with the Mac concept, and went from being a couple of cool guys to a Monopolistic Evil Empire, before Gates even had a shot at the title. I at one time was preparing to try out apple again a few years ago when it looked like they were going to allow third parties to develop and sell parts, motherboards, etc... But currently, I see no reason to even consider a hardware product that will not run the software I want to run, Whose users as a group over the years I have come to realize are just a bunch of extremely strange fanboys. Truthfully, I'm at a loss why ANYONE would want one; The only reason I can think of is the anti-establishment mystique, the fanboy culture, the common knowledge that "if your VCR flashes 12:00, you should get a Mac, because you sure as hell won't be able to figure out a PC". Not that I think there is anything wrong with the hardware technically; the PPC CPU is a great design, OSX is a good concept, and helps boost Linux, etc. But you could have said the same thing about Amiga. or Next. I guess I can't articulate it very clearly.
Huh? I've never run the Mac version, as I hate Macs, the last Apple I touched was a Lisa... But the Win version is fantastic; no PCI problems, runs Slackware, Mandrake, BSD no problems what so ever. And better yet, OS/2, All versions of Dos, I've yet to come across anything it won't run that I'd be interested in running. VMware is great on Linux, but the Win version I've never had anything but problems out of. I've never tried running Mandrake on Vpc in Win2k, then VMware in Vpc Mandrake.. I'll try that the next time I get dragged into the office.
I was wondering when someone would ask the obvious question.
Seriously. If VoiP is just piggybacking on fiber without paying the cost of maintaining it, just the enourmous cost of a T-1 or better, because the telco's have to let them do so, but they start losing business to VoiP... Something is going to obviously go kerboom.
That is completely up to the individual, sovreign, states. All I was saying was that no one should go to jail for a federal crime, unless it violates the Constitution, or the crime is for violating someones constitutional rights. The Fed just doesn't have the legal right to much more than that.
Ahem. Us right-wing extremists believe, in general, that unless you violate the constitution, you shouldn't go to jail. I believe you are refering to "the Moral Majority" & "The Nanny State" movement.
The "manus" haven't learned crap. I wasn't even aware this was a problem until recently; I had a $1800 Pinnacle 2x external SCSI burner back in '94, and the CD's (green, thick, verbatim or sony) still work perfectly, even slightly scratched. I bought a spindle last year, just because I figured there was no major dif in CDR's anymore; the type with NO labeling / brand markers whatsoever? Slightly transparent, but they seemed to work; I started using them for non-critical stuff; about 3 weeks ago, I went to a backup, and it was bad. looked at it; there were little flakes of the reflective surface missing... on a CD that was never handled, and stored in the same manner as my 1994 CD media. It's Memorex Black from now on me bucko.
I still have my copy of the only released version of Liquid Motion; it still is on a couple of sites I did, in it's Java-only version. Was pretty cool; I was looking for something like Jamba without the hefty price tag, and it seemed to fit the bill. BUT, it was weird, didn't have half the features, and didn't have the really, really cool installation song Jamba had.
Slashdot Mirror
That sounds pretty neat, actually, as long as I get to do some of the animation.
Speaking of which, anyone know what the guy/gal used to render this?

Hey, they are trying to illegalize hunting tools the world over, it's much the same thing.
It really depends on how socialist a state you live in.

Well, some. there are people with heart problems, you know.
Besides, guns don't kill people, bullets do, except in some very odd cases.

When will you people ever learn? The Primary function of P2P apps IS killing people!

Agreed.
If they piss them off too much, we'll have iPod's linked by Quantum entanglement transmitting entire albums instantaneously.....
On second thought, I believe that the maf-IAA should go after those scumbags at MIT!
