That's what you get for using Kazaa, or any peer-to-peer network for that matter. Learn how to use IRC, rip a couple unreleased/rare/bootleg CDs, join an MP3 ripping group, get an account on their HQ, and leech away high-quality rips.
You shouldn't complain about bad rips if you don't contribute back to the MP3 scene. Napster/Morpheus/Audiogalaxy/Kazaa/WinMX/Blubster/ whatevers_new_this_week is not the MP3 scene.
I admit I've never coded in C# and only dabbled in Java, but I see nothing wrong with Microsoft requiring Waterloo to teach C# in the core curriculum. C and C++ are quite dated, but C# was built from the ground up and does not suffer from the many subtle pitfalls that Objective C does.
Face it, Java was going to be the killer language until Sun prevented Microsoft from including the Sun VM in Windows. Without a Java VM, Java can go no where, but C#, being Microsoft-based, will no doubt be supported in near future versions of Windows to come. Its all about practicality: if students have to install a Java V, a C++/C/ObjC/Python compiler on their systems at home, knowledge of the language will be less effective.
Combined with Microsoft's powerful OS share, I believe C# will be the best choice for entrepreneurs in business, at least until Unix gains more usage in such fields. Either C#, or VBScript. One reason: integration.
I have the same problem (you're not notified when you're kicked off AIM) also on FreeBSD 4.6, maybe the bug is FreeBSD-specific? I haven't used GAIM on anything but FreeBSD and have always had the same problems.
That's not true, Napster is peer-to-peer, as in direct AIM, ICQ, video conferencing, and IRC DCC. Centralized peer-to-peer using a central server for indexing, but peer-to-peer nonetheless.
Decentralized networks avoid a central server by passing search query data around supernodes/ultrapeers, FastTrack being one such example. As is Gnutella; but Gnutella's a particularly bad example, as well as a bad P2P network protocol.
As for your comment about "blocked by firewalls", firewall ACLs are irrelevant. Firewalls can block a central server just as well as they can block incoming connections (removing one half of the visible P2P hosts), specific ports (1214, FastTrack), and specific data ("GNUTELLA OK\n\n" or "User-Agent: Gnutella\r\n").
nmap 3.0.0 supports a new feature called idlescan, which from the nmap-hackers posts I've gathered, idlescan scans ports indirectly without even touching the target machine. A "zombie" machine with weak sequence numbers is used to proxy the scan. Interesting stuff. Those with nmap can try it out:
Does anyone know anything about the supposed unified IM service to beat Jabber and Gaim, written by United Coders? Their website is lacking any information on the project, but from what I hear its very promising.
Any word on how UML compares to the FreeBSD emulation of Linux? I've heard claims that FreeBSD can run Linux binaries faster than Linux, so it would be interesting for a one-on-one comparison of User-Mode Linux and FreeBSD Linux emulation.
You're probably trying to FTP within Netscape. Under no circumstances do this -- Netscape, like IE, consistantly hammers their sites and doesn't support active (or passive, I forgot) mode, which will get you banned from most sites. What you need is FlashFXP, it even supports site-to-site transfers that use other people's bandwidth so you can get 100Mbps FXP on a 56K line, for example. Highly recommended.
Funny how this is coming from someone who codes the very software used to illegally rip and copy audio streams. Hows it feel having piracy bite you in the back? Its like when K-Lite.tk Sells Kazaa Lite Deluxe at a profit, then complaining when people download it for free. Here we have a free software, Kazaa, written to make money off piracy via ads, stripped down to not display ads --the Lite denotation--repackaged and sold as a Deluxe version. Notice the irony here, eh?
There comes a time in every products lifetime when its time to start over, and I believe this is the time. In the 70s, we knew significantly less about good coding practices as today. GOTO was first becoming considered harmful. Procedural programming was on the rise. Object-oriented as a paradigm was beginning to take root.
With these considerations in mind, clearly simulating an old computer is a very backwards idea. bug-for-bug compatibility is not a positive effect.
Same as bug-compatible, with the additional implication that much tedious effort went into ensuring that each (known) bug was replicated.
I don't know about everyone else, but when I was a kid I got a Radio Shack 300-in-1 electronic project kit for my birthday which came with a dozen or so 7400 chips. When I plugged one in backwards I just went down to my local Radio Shack and picked up a new 74LS00, which they had plenty of in stock all the time.
Certainly the 7400 series as a whole is still widespread and used in hobbyists kits, I'm not that old. Maybe the original 7400 is becoming obsolete, being replaced with the 74LS (low-power Schottkey) or CMOS chips? If then it shouldn't be too difficult to replace the TTL logic with CMOS logic, given a few adjustment levels in voltage, or they could use the TTL-logic and CMOS-logic in one compatible chips.
Of course, the 5400 series SSIs (small-scale integrated circuits) are preferred over the 7400s for industrial purposes, and as a plus they are completely backwards compatible. Why isn't NASA using those?

While this project isn't exactly my box of springs, there was some discussion on the this newsgroup if you are lucky enough to find the particular post. Network54's article retention is less than average, but the original crusher discussion took place there. Well worth the read if you can locate it, perhaps in a Google cache.
Oth is the FTP media search site. Most sites indexed on AG's FTP search are also indexed there, as well as sites garnered from IRC and ratio traders. Highly recommended, its what I mostly use now.
Putting pico in front of a unit is simply easier than writing 0.000 000 000 00x (or twelve figures before the decimal point) before your number and putting micro in front of a unit is a short way of writing 0.000 00 (or 6 figures before the decimal point) before your number. So one micro has 1 000 000 or one million pico units in it. [

So as you can see, MicroBSD, referenced in this article, takes 1,000,000 times more space than PicoBSD. Using compiled-assembly/bin utils, combined into one executable which checks $0, such as busybox--one is able to strip down the OS to fit on a 1.44Mbps floppy disc. I would suppose MicroBSD is aimed to fit on a 700MB CD-RW, with the ~600MB left over for user files thanks to the rewritability of RW media. As you can see, there is a large gap between Micro and PicoBSD, each fills their own niche.
Although David Crane is most famous for his Pitfall! creation, I personally prefer David Crane's A Boy and His Blob, which ran on the 8-bit NES system. The story line of a the boy's blob, and his jellybean consumption is unique. I'd recommend every reader check out the review at SA...I usually don't link to them but in this case I'll make an exception.
I didn't read the article, but does anyone know what the heck they are talking about? Its like you have to be a rocket scientist to understand this stuff. Is it a new peer-to-peer review network of some sort where I can review wares?
Uhh...maybe through a realmode jmp b8000:0? But you're right about your second point, my recollections may be a bit fuzzy as I haven't used DOS in 20 years, and it was my grandmother who got the virii not me. She's old, but packs a hell of a fragrate at CS.
Although the use of the video card's flashable firmware has not been ruled out. If you ever see "S3 VIDEO CARD 02-10-09" at bootup that's the firmware, and its being auto-executed at startup. Unless I'm mistaken.

What is winex and how does it differ from WINE, why was their a fork?
Only Linux users will buy it. I'm tired of #include linux/network.h, we need full, cross-platform Unix games. Not Linux-only.
