I've gotten WAY more than 5 songs an hour with kazaa. Maybe 20 songs per hour.
Also note that most people don't work 24 hours a day, taking some free time to download some music isn't all that big of a burden. Sorta like if bill gates drops 5 bucks on the ground, the time he spends picking it up - he actually loses $500 or something ridiculous like that. But does that mean that he is "paying" to take a dump, just because it takes up time? Not really. And I can't imagine that bill gates walks around with a colostomy bag. (do those work for poo?:)
I'm going to have to agree with the other poster and say that it's highly annoying to see your spam pasted into your posts. Put that annoying crap in your sig, you look like a car salesman or something.
Shut up with these annoying wishes of linux being OSX!
OSX is funded by tons of money, linux is free. Quit being cheap little fucks and wanting something for nothing all of the time. STFU and go write some code if you care that much, then you'll actually be helping something instead of just being annoying. Geez.
And here is the obligatory statement about being modded down as a troll in hopes of not actually being modded down as a troll, etc etc. Teh intarweb is suck sometimes.
And a note from personal experience - the vast majority of stuff is in there. It's when you want obscure stuff like pymad and py-ao that you run into having to install them yourself. Still very impressive though, especially considering the ridiculously miniscule attention NetBSD gets in comparison to debian or freebsd, other than slashdot posts saying "oh look, it runs on xyz now", and the ensuing bsd is dead posts.
Ok yeah, they mention this, but why not include the fact that the FNNC has all but relinquished control of the TS lines? Someone afraid to tell the *whole* truth? Maybe.
And another thing... do you know how stupid it is to directly connect your box to that cable/dsl modem thing with out at least hiding behind some kind of NAT?
NAT is an ugly hack. It is the last thing you should be promoting to the dumbasses who don't know better than to listen to people like you.
Go ahead and try it - be sure to run BlackICE or something so you can count how many times you get portscanned in an hour..
I've looked at what all packets come my way on my cable network, and honestly there isn't a whole lot of interesting stuff (at least not on a constant basis). And WTF is black ice? Some windows software garbage? Gee, you sound like quite the guru.
That's wonderful that you're supportive of the administration but I am not. Yes, we need to do *something* about what was done to america, but the patriot act is not it.
Well, you failed to see my point: Since initially formed, america has been set up so that there are checks and balances, and that the masses have power over the destiny of the country. The reason that we no longer have this is that we forfeited it by not voting or caring. I am not exactly sure why that happened though. Either way it sucks. I would probably agree with most of your post though.
By nature, terrorists obviously aren't going to obey any laws... much less SOFTWARE LICENSES. This makes Windows a FREE OS.
It's not about use - obviously no one can stop that, it's about them having free information available to them. Source code is handy stuff!
And with Microsoft's latest effort to try to make their OS's as "secure" as possible, shouldn't all these people picking on opensource be targeting Microsoft as well, since they are now SECURE?
You definitely missed the point.
All this post-9/11 paranoia is getting really ridiculous, and I can't wait till someone in power finally realizes how stupid we are being.
I couldn't agree more, except for the fact that in america, the masses are in power. You may disagree, and you would be right - but it's only because they have waived their power. No one votes, no one gives a shit. The few people that are left tend to be weirdos or worse alot of the time.
For example, my high school foods teacher. She wasn't all that great of a teacher, in fact she was pretty dumb. Not a bright lady. Not all that nice either - although not a complete bitch. Well, a couple years later I see that she ran for state representative and won. WTF? Nothing short of amazing.
I would say that if there is a firebird db command which is simply "firebird", then firebird the browser should respect that, and they should not use that name for their binary, simply out of concern for not making things confusing for users/packagers/etc.
There is no harm caused by a web browser using the same name as a database. There have always been things with the same name, but different markets. WHO CARES! The only reason I can see for all of this whining is publicity. As mentioned, there is no such thing as bad publicity...

Go read it sometime, it's pretty interesting, and was how I first became aware of this subject. Dunno if I'll ever move to africa... but hey, it's just one more idea to kick around for the remainder of your 70-some years on the planet.
Well, if OSS is "open source software", what are some terms that start with an f that are commonly associated with OSS? Free software? Duh! Free/Open Source Software. I thought computer nerds were supposed to be good at figuring things like this out. It took me all of 2 seconds to realize it.

I suppose I misunderstood Apple's stance on it. I thought they were totally anti-DRM. Better than nothing though, I suppose.
I was thinking something similar.
What happened to apple being against DRM?
WTF is your problem? Why must you spam slashdot with your webcalc crap all the time? Get a life.
-1 Troll!

The awesome thing is that it hasn't broken yet, I think it's finally time for an un-fladopification!
You are wise beyond your years.
LOL!!!

The dumbest things never fail to re-ortentilate me
Sorry, thanks, haven't had my boscamillon this morning yet ;-p
The issue that I have with this is that photofiberous ulens don't get equal senthire. Is that intentional?
Ok yeah, they mention this, but why not include the fact that the FNNC has all but relinquished control of the TS lines? Someone afraid to tell the *whole* truth? Maybe.
When they said that the minganalio was herfeterious, they were right! Glad they have come through.

You're special, just like every other linux user, right...
Not enough grease? That's BS. There's like, 1500 mcdonalds restaurants for each person on earth, and that's just mcdonalds

Ah, but unfortunately it most definitely is a linux site, whether or not you have noticed. :)
