Racial privacy? What a stupid idea. This is taking the idea of "everyone is created equal" a bit to far. PEOPLE ARE DIFFERENT, and their differences should be celebrated; not ignored.
Can Freenet have decentralized searching (not like HTTP, where a big company sets up hundreds of servers and indexes sites to show off their 64-bit performance for marketing purposes)?
My SMC7004AWBR needs to be rebooted almost daily.. less than a year old.
Mine too. Stay away from the SMC7004AWBRs!
I think the problem is that it overheats. I tried raising it up as to increase airflow, and that seemed to help a bit. Still, its not worth it. Don't buy the SMC7004AWBR Barricade. Myself, I'm staying away from all SMC products from now.
This project definitely looks interesting, but why do I need to have multiple versions of libraries installed simultaneously on a server?
It just doesn't seem too useful. Couldn't I upgrade to newer versions of the programs that use each library, instead? Or better yet, couldn't library others NOT break backwards-compatibility?
I don't know how, but it happened. The great United States of America, whom I defend to the death your right to criticize; but not be ignorant; is indeed a mixed economy. Hints of socialism lurk within our history. See: FDR's New Deal, Social Security, etc. But what do I know about history.
Not that thats a bad thing. Many historians believe pure capitalism and pure socialism is doomed for failure. I do too. A mixed economy is the only way to go. This is up for dispute, but I do not wish to discuss it.
You say, quite ignorantly I might (or might not) add, "and a democracy (the US is a republic).". You are correct. The US has democratic qualities, as well as republican qualities. Our Democratic party once started out as the Democratic-Republican party, believe it or not. St. Earlier, it was the Anti-Federialists party.
Following your unbased queries and uncontradictory statements, you begin to spout drivel.
Companies don't take away freedoms, they persuade you to buy their product.
They do both.
If you don't like the deal they offer, you turn around and walk out.
The most coherent sentence I've ever seen from a half Nelson. Just kidding, I'm just playing with you man.
Only in the minds of regulators can a company monopolize an entire market.
I can't parse this. Does "only in the minds" mean that such a thought can never materalize? I think not.
Will corporate pressure kill the BitTorrent movement, or will it keep flying from site to site before it settles somewhere 'safe' like Sealand's HavenCo?
hmm... This doesn't sound too much like an advertisement, does it?
Funny how so many slashdot articles are commercials in disguise...
You were moderated off-topic, very fairly I might add. Maybe "off-topic" is not the most appropriate, but its a down-mod, and its the most fair moderation for you, jpmahala, since Slashdot currently lacks a Stupid, False-Humor, False-Question moderation. Anyways, I myself am straying off topic, so I had better cut to the chase shall I become a victim of my own hypocracy.
As you will notice (either immediately or after several seconds of high-throughput processing, depending on your current state of drug consumption), the question posed by the submitter is mere speculation. Not only speculation, but very cogent and reasonable speculation. You see, HavenCo is the ONLY place of its kind.
Not only is HavenCo one of a kind, but its hosted on an artificial island in the sea, christened Sealand. Navy sailors originally dubbed the island [expletive deleted], but it renamed after a feud with the local greenpeac..
In any case, no other city is like HavenCo. Except maybe LA. The writer said "like Sealand's HavenCo", emphasis on like. This suggests there may be, in the future hopefully, other service offerings similar to HavenCo's. At the moment, this is not the case. HavenCo has been a subject of several Slashdot postings and Wired articles; it surely piqued my interest.
If I was a major warez dealer, you bet hell I would buy a HavenCo account and setup a public FTP server. I'd have completely Sealand-legal new musical releases, movies (appropriate for children of course), as well as a myriad of software available for selection. My WaReZ site would be public, and I would have no user limits. I would rake in the dough through advertisements appropriate for all audiences. All within the jaundiced eye of the RIAA/MPAA.
They couldn't do a damned well thing.
And that's the point of this point. Its not a plug, its not an advertisement, its not a commercial. Its a way of life.
1) Presumably there is no direct link, although ImageMagick has to do with images and so do JPEGs. An indirect link, if you will.
2) man cat (this won't let you cat something to stdio, but it will tell you about cat and how to use it). The OP probably meant "stdin" instead of "stdio", its an easy typo to make, but then he would be wrong too. Stdin is one-way. My best guess is "stdout", and cat cats to there by default (always?). Regardless, we may never know; I doubt jpsst34 will respond so this fodder may be the best we have.
Secondly, the OP clearly made this rediculous post to plug Cygwin, causing Linux to invade Windows. Maybe he's been using Linux too much and wants the safe comfort of a Linux-emulated Windows environment. In any case, the same effect can be achieved by typing "type myBinaryfile.jpg" at the command prompt.
The file doesn't even have to be a JPEG; this is one of the great virtues of the cat/type duo. They are one of the few programs which surpass the image format support of ImageMagick.
The *AA can't have that, or their argument that "P2P has no other use than to distribute pirated media" becomes moot when it is clearly shown that THERE ARE legitimate uses for P2P software...
No one said P2P doesn't have legit use. The RIAA is shutting down an ILLEGITIMATE BitTorrent site. They didn't shutdown the official BT site where RedHat ISO's are distributed.
Its simply not efficient. I want to download music, new releases, and movies -- I don't need encryption. I don't need to store unknown files in an encrypted cache. I don't need the rediculously slow speed Freenet offers.
Enter China. They have TriangleBoy. An array of proxies available not behind the Great Firewall. Chinese dissidents can use these anonymous proxies to do publish and consume information. Freenet only inhibits this. Freenet's lack of performance is a major flaw. US proxies are fast, even when trans-Atlantic. Its tried and true tested technology; innovation is welcome, but Freenet is nothing.
Many P2P programs have been developed in shorter timeframes than since all the hype about Freenet began to now. EarthStation5. Piolet. Blubster. RockItNet. Heck, even Kazaa K++'s modifications to Kazaa. Although many of these are not totally anonymous, ES5 is. Check out the ES5 forums (warning: registration required), you'll find a list of tons of anonymous and transparent proxies to use with ES5.
AIM can use proxies too. So can ICQ. SOCKS5, HTTP. Even FTP, HTTP, Internet Explorer, etc. Many proxies also support SSL. For chatting dissident, one can do SSL over IRC.
This looks like a good idea to me. You'll always encounter the Freenet fanboys (especially here on Slashdot) that think its the answer to everything, despite its lack of speed overzealous use of encryption, and content store, which get in the way of people that just want to swap a couple MP3s.
Interesting indeed. If Ford is educating the public about automobile terminology, why shouldn't AMD educate about processor and personal computer terminology? Computer technology is relativility new to the public, unlike the 100 year old technology of cars. Maybe the public can be taught? Interesting point.
"Tunnelling" is like proxying but goes to a specific port. I think you can do this with SOCKS, especially UDP tunnelling since SOCKS supports UDP. Hope this helps.
I took AP US History and had an excellent teacher. He covered all/most the points you mention, even if only in passing.
You're WRONG about the Civil War not being over slavery. The primary reason for the Civil War was slavery. There were many other reasons, however. We covered those in class, too.
Take a look at Everything2 or Wikipedia for examples of what is wrong with open source reference materials.
Basically, the only information that gets entered is entered by interested parties. Therefore a topic like the Open Source movement get tons of information (both good and bad) and other things like photosynthesis get very little written about it.
Wikipedia has a very comprehensive article on photosynthesis.

You had me convinced until "irregardless".

Most people using IRC for files are leechers. Not that thats a bad thing, but it limits the effectiveness of the RIAA targetting sharers.
Of course, there are fserve's; but xdcc's are much more common. I don't think its likely, at least at this time.

There's sure a lot of freeware, anime, and home-made pornography on KaZaA. Legitimately.

Tap water isn't (usually) purified (in the same intensity as bottled).
The language barrier.
That's not a very telling comparison. Gnutella is the worst everytime.
