I've been using I2Hub for a few months and the downloads aren't that fast, at least as someone who has been spoiled by the internet connection here at RPI. Downloads from a user at another college with i2Hub are usually in the range of 30-80 kb/s. For comparison, this is about the same speed that I get from a p2p app that let's you download from multiple sources, such as eMule. If someone I know off campus, such as a friend from home, downloads a file from me via AIM, they get speeds ranging from 150-200 kb/s. However, for ease of use and individual files, as well as a better community, I2Hub is pretty good.
As an employee that handles returns at a Large MegaCorporation that sells about 50 CDs/day, I can personally say that this is wrong and will not harm the music corporations.
This is wrong for 2 reasons:
1)It is trivial to return a copy-protected CD (or any CD). Defective CDs or DVDs are marked defective and generally (depending on the manufacturer) discarded. They simply send us a replacement on their next shipment to us.
2)No one returns them anyway. Despite the fact that we sell "enchanced CDs," no one has ever came in and returned one for not working in a certain player. They make up the proportional amount of CD returns that we have as a whole. This is true even despite the fact that for "enhanced CD" returns customers aren't required to get the same CD.
Google's default is to block explicit material with a technology called "Safe Search." Here is a result of the Google image search for boob with Safe Search on.
Israel isn't terroristic today? I don't support Palestinian Terrorism at all, but the fact remains that Israelis have killed three times as many Palestinians and occupy land that isn't theirs. Just because violence against civilians is state sponsored doesn't preclude it from being classified as terrorism. If either side were interested in winning over the rest of the world, they would learn from history and practice passive resistance.
Salon is having major financial troubles. They make their money by having people view their ads when reading their content. There is no registration required to view their content. If you have a problem with viewing an ad as a requisite for accessing their content, why not try to find a print substitute of Salon's quality that costs money.
You don't even have to talk to a different person. I work in returns at a major retail store and none of the people I work with (including my direct bosses) care if someone does this. All anyone cares about is covering their own ass in making sure opened software is exchanged for the same title.
I've always been fascinated with siege engines, mainly due to an obsession with Age of Empires and War Craft. I'm starting small with these directions but if it goes well I should be in the hospital soon.
Is it supposed to make me feel any better about the $150 Paypal stole from me?
How ridiculous is it that a charge can be disputed for 4 purchases over a span of 4 weeks 6 weeks after the first purchase is made and Paypal then puts the burden on you to prove they actually got anything. The buyer of the goods must do nothing to dispute it besides say, "I didn't get anything." And if you can't, tough shit. Oh yeah, and it costs you $10/case for Paypal to look into it whether you get your money back or not.
I don't understand why anyone would be willing to pay for e-mail access only. I always thought the use of free e-mail accounts was that they were "throw away" - you use them for sites that require an e-mail address, for posting online, or other situations when you don't want to give out your "real" e-mail address. When you start paying for access, that removes, imo, the only benefit of free e-mail access. Most ISPs also have online ways of checking your e-mail without actually setting up the incoming/outgoing mail servers.
That is most definately not a link to Yahoo's web site. I'm certainly not willing to click it to find out what disgusting shit is on that page. Who the hell modded that up?
Not much without the pictures, I know, but it looked like it was getting Slashdotted. Here:

Isn't that the same concept everyone here bashes Microsoft for? Sure it's not exactly the same, but the only reason this bug isn't that big of a deal is because Mozilla is a rather obscure browser.
Actually, the best signature is:
See Florida State Driver's Liscense + Sig on card.
Much better than Check ID because many stores (or at least cashiers) will take easily forged school IDs.
Nvidia doesn't release open source drivers because it would hurt their business. Without a doubt, if their drivers were open source, competitors would be able to derive valuable information about their GPUs and how they work.
There is a place for closed source on an open source platform, and this is one of them.
It's not a bribe when you sell something, dumbshit.
Id was paid by Microsoft to release an X-Box version of their game. Carmack says the 9700 is his card of choice, and yet, Doom 3 will run on Nvidia and other non ATI graphics cards. He wasn't bribed by Nvidia or Microsoft; the larget his audience, the more money he makes.
First you take the sum of the money made by the copyright industries. Once you have determined that number, you divide it by our gross domestic product. Then, you realize that number is much too low and instead lie and say it is 5%.
Web elements lists the radius of a singular silicon atom as 111 picometers, or 4.3701 x 10^-9 inches. So you could fit 228828828.83 wafers in a cubic inch. Of course, not even considering the issue of reading, I doubt the actual atomic structure would be that compact. In case you were curious, that's about 1,784,864,858,400 DVDs or 67,110,918,675,840,000,000,000 bits.

And I thought you were going to say:

Because I know an all shit diet would definately deter me from eating.

Are you telling me you deny the existence of Power Goblins?
Clearly you haven't read 1984.
Some kid's parent did write it for him. A lawyer did it to teach his children about the patent system and at a same time point out it's ineptitude.

Mozilla's view source made that so easy, too.
Just in case.
