I am well aware of this problem. I know, that p2p software consume all bandwidth (even mine) quite efficiently. But still, I run such software on my computer. But I quess I'm a little bit odd, 'cause this is what I do : During the daytime, I limit my upload transfer to only 10kbit/s, and download is limited to 20k/s. This leaves a lot bandwidth for all those surfers and game players. And during the nighttime, I limit all transfers to about 50% of total bandwidth (we have 1mbit/s connection divided for all users). Haven't had any complaints yet, so I quess this works well.
I just hope that p2p software developers would make automatic bandwidth controller, which would change limitations according to clock. Would ease my filesharing a lot.
What about them?
kyllä 1334
mutta 1112
vähän 1111
jotain 1066
tulee 988
mitään 953
vielä 930
sitten 911
mitäs 889
pitää 864
These are the most used words on my class' irc-channel. Would you please tell me how much faster your keyboard layout would be on these words?
I'm bit drunk, mod me down or just ignore me.
Looks like a news like this pops up every month or two. But where is the real hardware? I quess all these new storage devices are just too expensive to manufacture when compared to old fashioned hard drives.
The thing I *cannot* understand is how $150 million can be spent on an animated movie. (Ego?) Those numbers make absolutely no sense. It's no wonder they are losing money. They should be. Studios in Japan consistently put out better and more entertaining animation for probably 20% of that amount or less.
Oh, you've never noticed how fps in anime is about 10 ? How they copy&paste same images over and over again, just moving them around the screen.. When Disney has (on these high budget films) every frame drawn separately, 1000x smoother animation and all that.
Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge anime fan myself. But I think that Disney's movies are way more better made than 99% of anime.
But the quality of animation doesn't affect the quality of plot, story and all that.. Would be great to see Disney doing a real adults (sorry guys, I don't mean porn) animation.
... And 15 minutes to load Linux RedHat.
Just kidding. But still, it takes longer for RedHat to start than XP.
Maybe I too should start putting MS down, atleast I would get more Karma.
Let's leave them some easily accessible resources, huh? This isn't some hypothetical piece of science fiction. We either care enough to plan for it, or we don't. What's it to be?
Oh, I certainly don't care for the after-iceage descendants of mine. Am I a coldhearted bastard, for not caring?
I'd like to opine that this is something that Microsoft richly deserves
Oh my god! MS gives away free porn, and STILL you don't like them? Man, what's wrong with you? If free porn won't change your opinion about MS, I think that your anti-MS attitude has gone waaaaayyyy too far.
Get a grip of yourself! Dude, it's FREE PORN! MS rokkxxss!
But that doesn't mean people using it in a normal way should pay for their bandwidth.
Normal way, ofcourse defined by the ISP. Includes 100% FREE SURFING FOR 30 MINUTES A DAY (as long as the sites don't have too much graphics). Also you can READ YOUR EMAIL 2 TIMES A DAY (no big attachements ofcourse).
Normal way of using the net is downloading games, video and music.
No you won't - slashdot has a timer that stops you from submitting that often.
Don't count on it. I wonder how I manage to find any REAL news between all Open/StarOffice, Mozilla, Mandrake/Red Hat/whateverlinuxdistro, Linux kernel, FreeBSD and such software/OS update news.
I'm using only one or two passwords, that I use everywhere where I have to login.
Now the good part is, that both include lower/uppercase letter and numbers. Pure random. So those are almost impossible to crack. Every admin should be glad.
But the problem is, that if one of those sites has an evil admin (ain't they all?), he can then easily use that password on other sites I login. Especially if I use the same login name.
There is NO WAY, I could remember different difficult-to-crack passwords for every site where I have to login, without writing them down. Sorry admins, I just don't have photographic memory!
Sometimes I have to learn new difficult password, when I change company, school or something like that. No problem, if I use the password every day, I'll quick remember it by heart. But if I need it few times a week, maybe only few times a month... There just isn't a way to remember things like that without writing them down.
And using the same l/p everywhere is also a risk.
If I was asked what are the top 20 sci-fi movies, I wouldn't care about visio, accuracy or anything like that.
First, I'd decide if the movie was sci-fi. If it is, then I think how good it is. It doesn't matter how sci-fi the movie is.
Ok, Space Odyssey is a classic. It's got computers and spaceships and everything. But, it's boring as hell. I'll never watch it again! Now why would I list this movie on any top 20 movie list, if I don't like it?
In the end, it's a matter of taste. That top20-list included some movies I've never seen, or even heard of, so I really don't think those could be good movies. Propably I'd fall asleep or something watching..

I quess those got trashed when movie companies noticed that it isn't good business to spend 100,000,000$ on a movie that sells 20,000,000$.
There is little space for originality in consumerpleasing business. Don't blame movie companies, blame people who don't go see original movies.
If I was in charge, all "who gives a fuck?" replies would get 5 karma and be marked as insightful.

When you add somekinda "fucking-lots-of-money-for-ISP" part to your idea, it'll take off immediately!
Erhmm.. I quess they run out of power when this shot was taken? I've made paper gliders that fly better. In preschool.
that this project is terminated in 1/2003 when main servers admin misplaces the little piece of paper that he wrote the randomized root password on.

Excactly how many teammates are you allowed to shoot in the US Army ?

I dunno, I've always been quite happy with Moon 1.0

... the Taleban can make aeroplane strikes without sacrificing their own men. They just hack up few X45's. This is gonna save so many lives!
How does the tab-thing differ from Opera's similiar function?
And more important question, will they patent this idea, like one graphics-software company did?
