Ha.. I would hardly call Itaniums true 64 bits'. Look at their first attempt, 48 bits. =p I haven't read much up on Itanium 2's and although I believe they are 64 bits, they're not the best standard, which AMD holds with their x86-64 arch.
I see there's a lot of posts about the slashdot effect and that the MPAA's site seems to be down. Yes, it's humorous, but with an organization this ignorant what are the chances that they're going to claim they got DDOS'ed (by "evil hackers")?
I really must say that this is one of the most interesting, concrete, factual stories I have seen on Slashdot recently. Props to the author, he did a really good job.
Personally, I think it's much better for kids to be on the web all the time, than watching TV all the time. Mainly because watching TV is a passive activity, browsing the web and using computers GENERALLY require learning and interactivity. Exception to this is obviously teenage girls/boys that sit there and chat on AIM for 8 hours straight.
The two developers of the program once worked together, but have decided to release different versions, according to postings by the two authors. Neither are affiliated with Sharman Networks. Freenet, another network, was also designed to allow anonymous, encrypted sharing of files and other information.
Now, I like Freenet but what in the hell does it have to do with that paragraph??
As for political speech, it also makes no sense. How would anyone search for political speech on a P2P network? Would you look for "democratic ideals as they pertained to the Bush tax cut"? For people that want to distribute political speech online, there are plenty of Usenet groups and chat rooms for them to use. The facts here simply do not support the theory that these networks are being used for "general purposes."
Ah I can tell someone has never used Freenet. The majority of content in Freenet is not really searchable, it's more of a blog-based environment. Freenet won't even release a tool to search it. A 3rd party had to. I think Matt has been using a bit too much KazAa if he thinks every P2P network has a little search bar on the side, with options for Audio and Video...
They were idiots for trying to extort MS and claiming that they weren't trying to. Just read the letter, they mention wanting money for this.
However, the hack is a good one, and will probably go along very well with the new project going on to hack the original dash.
Congrats to HP for being one of the first major PC companies to preload Linux on the desktop. Maybe they finally realized that businesses like security...
As for Mandrake, eh.. it's good for some people, personally I like Gentoo, tho.
Eh... I think this deserves coverage on Slashdot because it's interesting to people, but I suppose it's also sort of increasing the number of participants in this. Oh well, if you're running IIS without patches you kind of deserve it. =P
They wouldn't need to have these verification images, if mail servers would just implement SMTP authentication (or other such protections). I'm often surprised at how many SMTP servers are just open relays for anyone who knows the hostname.
I know this is about integrating the actual networks, but Gaim has been allowing you to do this for some time now. You just need an ICQ alias. I agree though, the official ICQ application is a piece of shit.

No.
At least according to those results.

Good point, individual suits would be a much better approach.

class-action lawsuit against the RIAA by the innocent people caught in their massive web.
Fight fire with fire.
spelling..

I don't see the balls in this. It's their server, they're allowed to ban anyone they see fit.
Is how to ban the RIAA from accessing the Internet.

But I'm just a little too lazy to even fill in those few forms. It has to be, click, BAM... story... =)

I don't know why that's important... but hey.. it's better than "696th POST"!
It's going to be pretty hard to gain credibility with ANY company, when every single search phrase comes up with something about child porn.
Hahhaha they removed it!
Dippin' Dots are then flash-frozen using a special patented process.

Didn't know you could patent the process of dropping things in LN2...

I'm more interested to see how Bruce Almighty fares in the South. God being a black man and all...
THAT's what they were doing in the Half-life intro. Everything is so much clearer now...
