  1. Re:The most outrageus thing i ever heard!!! on Florida Proposes Taxing Local LANs · · Score: 1

    Last time I checked the utitlity bills for phone, gas, and electricity, and cable included local taxes....So its not like they aren't being taxed. Read your bill!

  2. Ipods Interface Sucks on Newest iPod vs. the Nomad Zen NX? · · Score: 1

    It may just be me, but after using an Ipod in the store, I found the Nomad's interface much better. I like the fact that on the Nomad you can browse around and add files to the active queue quite easily and make playlists(multiple playlists and name them) on the fly. The only thing the 3rd gen Ipod has is 1 On The Go Playlist and I thought it was more of a pain to create and manage. I don't like using premade playlists. I listen to random songs and like the option of adding, deleting and skipping around my Now Playing List. I couldn't find a way on the Ipod to actually change the Now Playing list on the fly, like you can on the Nomad.

  3. Re:won't get slashdotted - IE only on Buy.Com Debuts Music Download Site · · Score: 1

    According to the last IRC forum with CmdrTaco and Hemos, 72% of slashdot is windows users with 50% of the all hits originating from IE. So the linux mozilla users are most likely in the minority.

  4. Re:Difference between eothers and BitTorrent? on BitTorrent Community Running For Cover? · · Score: 1

    I think the major problem with Bittorrent is the tracker. Since most edonkey servers are not in the US and there are plenty of them, Edonkey is harder to shutdown. To kill all of torrentse's files was easy. They just killed the tracker. Try shutting down the hundreds of Edonkey servers. A bit harder. They are going after the easy targets. Using Bittorrent is like walking into Walmart and stealing a TV. Its really easy to get caught.

  5. Re:Here's a site using the ByteMonsoon code on BitTorrent Community Running For Cover? · · Score: 1

    Don't post links in slashdot. Are you a complete moron? It probably won't exist much longer. Thanks buddy.

  6. Re:The new bytemonsoon.com on BitTorrent Community Running For Cover? · · Score: 1

    No, you mean what used to be the new bytemonsoon as now it will go down for slashdotting. Thanks a lot buddy. Not this this site with its 200 torrents was anything like Bytemonsoon with its 10,000 but now you just killed it. You are not the brightest.

  7. Combine Bittorrent with Freenet on BitTorrent Community Running For Cover? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Just start torrenting Freenet file keys. That would be totally legal. Then Freenet would keep the actual file private and anonymous. This would also save much bandwidth on the trackers as the torrents would be really small. I don't know much about Freenet but it sounds reasonable to me.

  8. What about the fingerless? on Your Fingerprint Buys Groceries in Seattle · · Score: 1

    What if you have artificial hands? The way things are going, everything will eventually goto Biometrics, leaving the physically disabled out in the cold. Also, with new advances in the future, technically you could have everything that biometrics checks for be an artificial part. What's next DNA samples? Or are artificial limbs going to have generated fingerprints?
