...acting on the behalf of private companies... instead of going after the rapists/murders/terrorists of the World.
OK, the companies should care for themselves, you are right here. But U.S. law enforcement should be strictly limited to U.S. territory!
And: If someone looks at at all the things your troops do and have done in Iraq and other places, he could easily come to the conclusion that you don't go after the murderers/terrorists because you are part of the murderers/terrorists of the world. But this leads very far from the topic, so I will shut up here.
No, it is not from Windows. But it is not from IrfanView either. I made the mistake to confuse it with ACDSee.
And this really comes with loads of crap that slows your system, including a preview for videos(!) in the context menu. I'm sure you all know how annoying it is, when you have to wait several seconds for a menu to open.
I tried this recently, and I can only warn. It installs a load of other stuff without asking that slows down your machine extremely. The context menu for a video file took ages to appear because of some idiotic preview function!
Yes, I searched for a price in vain for 10 minutes, too. But I found many articles saying something about the nStor 4700 being really cheap, so one could assume that $4-6k is the price complete with 12 400 GB drives.
What the market completely misses is a easy and comfortable storage solution for the SOHO or advanced home user at a reasonable price. Not those stupidly small 1 or 2 drive boxes that cost even more than a complete PC including a drive of that size, and not those absolutely insane-priced "professional" ones.
Just an appropriate case with 4, 8, 12 or 16 bays for S-ATA drives and some embedded system including the RAID 5 controller and a Gbit Ethernet port. This should be a lot cheaper than rolling your own with a complete PC, which would cost 300 to 400 Euro for the 8 bay version.
Get a good sized case with enough slots for fans, a S-ATA RAID Controller (from the Highpoint 1820 at ~ 180 Euro to the 3ware Escalade 9500 at ~ 550 Euro) and a decent fan/temp controller which is supported by your OS or ships with drivers for your OS.
Complete this with board, cpu and all the rest fitting your needs and you'll have the most S-ATA fileserver you'll get for your money!:-)
I just do the same for me, except the fan/temp controller.
And you also told they were doing it without consent of the copyright owners. If they really just offered.torrents, I can't imagine that the copyright owner of such a.torrent file would not consent to the file being offered.
So, what was the illegal thing they have done again?
Well I would assume whoever made the.torrent file of course.
Then, which copyright is infringed by a site that offers.torrent files with consent of the copyright owners and nothing else for download?
You write a book about how to stalk young children on the internet.
Ah, cm'on, no child-abuse-stuff please. There should be a law like Godwin's law for this! And a.torrent file does not contain a "how-to", it just describes a file.
These sites were CLEARLY offering illegal content.
Please explain to us why a.torrent file should be an "illegal content". Maybe you could add an explanation what "illegal content" would be, as I thought until now that the "illegal" part lies in the illegal offering of a certain content you don't have the right to offer.
AFAIK it is not illegal to describe a file circulating in a network, be it a possibly copright-infringing file or not. And AFAIK a.torrent file is nothing else than such a description.
Yeah, and the question is: Who would want to be a MTFI?
I still work hard on groking how those mass-trends work. Nearly noone you talk to will admit that he is following such a mass-trend, but where is the mass then?
So, by buying it you tell all the world that you are a mass-trend-following idiot. Who would want this?
"person with a healthy lifestyle"
It all depends on the water out of the tap. In most parts of germany, it is excellent (and the legal limits for certain toxic substances are lower for tap-water than for bottled). So, you do better for your health by no buying inferior water in bottles.
"buy water"
Yes, I do that every time I open the tap. What's the fuzz about it?
There were people laughing about the guy who first started selling bottled water.
Bottled water is very useful when the water that comes out of your tap is not suited for drinking. If you get good water out of your tap, buying water in bottles is really idiotic!
Since when is it trying to out perform any decent card!?!?
Since they call it "Turbo Cache". "Turbo" and "Cache" are synonyms for something that makes you go faster than you could without. They want you to believe this was something good that improves performance, while it is the exact opposite.
If you don't play 3D games, buy the cheapest card you can get, but if you play, then get a decent[*] one.
[*] "decent" meaning a mid-priced one (last year's top model)
I'm no gamer, my TNT2-64 card (cheapest 1,5V AGP card I could get in October when I had to buy a new mobo) does everything I want as fast as I want. For nearly all non-gaming stuff a "normal" user does, you don't need more graphics performance.
You can basically split the people in two groups:
Gamers/Graphics Professionals/CAD - They need real strong 3D graphics cards, this crippeled stuff is too weak for them.
Rest - Needs (nearly) no 3D graphics power, even this crippeled stuff is overkill for them.
NV are forcing packagers to declare the supports up to and the size of the onboard memory
I did RTFA on the (german) Heise newsticker (http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/54284) before, and there you can read that Nvidia would encourage their partners not to reveal the real memory size, but rather only tell "supports up to... MB".
No sentient person would want DX9 in a card that is too slow for these DX9 features and furthermore steals RAM from the system whilst slowing the CPU.
The "turbo cache" lie (meant to make you think it was faster, not slower) and that they encourage card manufacturers to conceal the RAM crippling let me suspect otherwise.
If you could use system RAM on a graphics card without severe disadvantages, graphics cards would ship with DIMM sockets instead of the expensive graphics RAM.
Nothing "Turbo" and not any cache here, this is just an evil try to sell you much less card for more $.

LOL, Kazaa is still crap without all the spy-/ad-/malware!
No, this is what happens when certain people take "protect artists's works" and pervert it to "control, rip off and then criminalize the customers".
When your actions harm others, you will be held accountable.
That's the point: no harm was and will be ever done by someone through swearing (or being nude, another ridiculous taboo in US television).
When will these ISPs realise they're shooting themselves in the foot by forcing everyone to just outright block their networks?
As soon as really everyone blocks them.

They provided .torrent files. I didn't know that the MPAA owns the copyright to those .torrent files. Where did you get that information from?
Last time I checked, US law doesn't apply everywhere.

Organic Light Emmiting Diodes (oLED)
And that is what I am waiting for. Imagine the vast possibilities when using it as a wallpaper:
- Your screen is where you are and what size you like it
- No need to paint the walls when you start to dislike the actual color
- No need to buy digital picture frames
- No need for a window anymore, just display the picture you would see through it or even something better
- No need for lamps and other lights
These plasma screens are inferior in so many ways:
- less lifetime
- more power consumption / heat
- less resolution
- deteriorating display quality
Is there even only one discipline where the point goes to plasma?
Yeah, and the question is: Who would want to be a MTFI?
I still work hard on groking how those mass-trends work. Nearly noone you talk to will admit that he is following such a mass-trend, but where is the mass then?
