i download copyrighted music ! you got me! thing is... when i own a gazzilion cds.. it's faster for me to download them than to rip/encode them all. so yeah, legal.
It has been awhile since MS released Win2k indeed.
Win2k, for my use, has turned out to be fastest, and most stable MS operating system available.
Sure it has a few bugs, but I don't really feel affected by them.
It's gonna be hard for MS to throw togehter their next gen server OS, since most sysadmins won't be fooled by a new interface and lots of colors.;)
I have a 540mb maxtor running in a p200. it's about 7 years old and still runs great.
it's on pretty much 24/7 since i use it for a little web server.
had a fujitsu 17gb coupla years ago, it failed.
then i got a maxtor 30gb.. and even though it works fine, it makes a weird clunking noise when i turn on my system and i get a INEVITABLE FAILURE message.. yet i've been getting that message for a year at least now. go figure.
works for olympus so i buy digi camera's for super cheap... he told me about the new memory chip's they're gonna use to replace smartmedia / compact flash.. called Xd chips or soemthing.. the size of a quarter: maxing out at 8 gigz... can't wait to carry my mp3 collection around on a quarter sized mp3 player.
any high speed in canada? i don't know what canada you're thinking of, but here in vancouver bc, most people i know have 2.5mbps adsl.. which translates to about 312.5k/sec.. and unlike cable this speed doesn't fluxuate all over the place.
so a typical movie (700 megs i assume) would download in 37 minutes... for me, that's faster than going to the video store. Also you save the trouble of returning the movie too.
let's punish the music industry for stealing the artist's money...
let's punish the theaters for stealing our money claiming we are paying to see the movie. if that were true, why would they make us watch all those ads before the movie?
let's punish those who become rich off other people's work. they don't earn the money, they indirectly steal it out of the working man's pocket.
or... let's just sit here, throw our lives away in low paying jobs, and feed the fat.
i am not driven by the need to continue my race, and as such, if my death saves another being, then i would rather die.
although that's a little extreme and wouldn't happen since, vegetables are not sentient, while animals are. it's been proven, by science, quiete magical.
reducing your diet isn't quiete accurate as you used it, since, since i don't eat meat, i eat a much larger variety of veggies. being vegetarian actually has many advantages, so. survival of the "fittest" as you put it, is in order after all.
if (insert an animal you eat here)s could talk, albeit very very very limited, it might make some people realize that (insert an animal you eat here)s are sentient beings and should not be consumed merely to pleasure their tongues.
maybe green peace activists will resequence (insert animal that is being exploited here)s dna to talk etc. as an act of... activism... could happen? maybe?
lol, calm down man..
first of all...
the largest size is not 256 megs.. i believe it's 1 gig... although the price is kinda sketchy but since it's a mp3 player it's worth it cuz i doubt you paid for your music in the first place =)
second..
the new xD memory cards are coming out soon, they're the size of a quarter and they plan on maxing them out at 8 gigz. Can you say portable movie player with 10ish nice divx movies on it? or about 1 ish dvd movie the size of the hole in the middle of current dvd discs?
Let me take a WILD guess..
1. It's slow.
2. BZZZzooowwww.. TimmmAHHH... (and NOISEY)
3. Those itty bitty, less than normal sized cds
>are just as small
>have a MUCH LARGER capacity
>just as compatible... i mean who the hell doesn't have a cdrom of sorts.
>and are much quieter =)
i haven't had a computer on my network with a floppy since '98.
also.. why the h3ll are they called floppys? Those old skinny, FLOPPY, 5 inch things from the 80's are floppys! I call them 3.5" stiffies.
kinda backwards.. they get smaller and harder.. hmm..
Would someone care to educate the Slashdot masses about the differences between the old bearings and these new liquid ones? I'm in the market for a new drive, and I'd be curious to know what the difference is.
Well, I can't speak for hard disk drives, but I can maybe draw an analogy.
Some condoms are lubricated, and some aren't. Although I've found that the lubricared ones tend to create a little bit more noise, so maybe this is a reverse analogy?
"...it makes people who don't get them uncomfortable and angry..." OK. Let me get this straight. People actually got angry when you asked them to think about a few riddles?? This would prove that riddles are a VERY effective way of rooting out the uncapable... if you get "angry" over a stupid little riddle at an interview, then maybe you shouldn't be applying to be a programmer... *stomps out of the interview enraged by all dem dare riddley doos*
interstellar body.. oh yeah baby
gotta get me one of those.. let us ask mr. spock, he will know the answer!
*throws big rock at captain kirk's face*.. sorry guys all this star trek talk is making me kinda crzy
Well let me explain, it's quiete simple...
to date console users have been stuck with an insufficent ergo-zoom power feeling when it comes to paralell perpindicular cross-game match ups. Sony has decided to implement a way of increasing the speed of the game sooo dramatically that fun will go shooting through the roof.
you'll be able to simultaneosly have fun across a network of PS3 systems. the feeling of the little joystick in your hand will leave you tingling.
never before, ever ever in the universe.. has anyone ever come close to buoying so much connectivity in such a fun packed system.
this whole situation will of course overwhelm even the most elitist of hackers.. therefore eliminating any need for further security.
all this system-interaction will render hacker's efforts futile.
they won't even know where to begin.
computer viruses on the other hand, are such fragile creatures, that the quick flowing currents of the super bandwidth will quickly drown them out before they can spread.
and lost connections! Don't worry! if you lose your connection you won't even realize it.
ha, this makes me lol (laugh out loud)
jets are a horrible way of getting people into space... just horrible. I have a MUSCH BETTER plan...
here's what we do, we dig a deep tunnel right under the north/south pole of the earth, doesn't matter which i don't think, then we put a big inversely polarized electromagnet in the tunnel... shoot some current through, and blammo! the magnet then pop's out the tunnel and into space using the earth's magnetic field as it's propulsion...
doesn't that just sound sooo much simpler? no fuel to worry about.. so no firey deaths for the masses.
orrrr... another possible method
if you spin an extremely dense mass over the north pole counter-earth rotation really really fast it should go flying out into space too...
soo... off to the pole! who's with me!!!???
Slashdot Mirror
isn't this what winamp did back in the day? sort of... they "required" payment after 20 days of use... and nowadays it's free... legally...
well if it's gonna be a server.. the internet is 99% porn. u might have a rival here.. maybe not ;)
after seeing "dawn" ..
i can't help but anticipate the release of a new leisure suit larry type game!
i download copyrighted music ! you got me! .. it's faster for me to download them than to rip/encode them all. so yeah, legal.
thing is... when i own a gazzilion cds
now no one will need to buy a copy,
just take the free promotional copy, rip it, chuck it.
don't even need 8 hours,
and they lose 1 sale needed for original rip.

i'm disturbed of your alternating use of the word "legit" regarding war.
legitimacy implies some sort of logical justified reasoning.
war, is anything but legitimate.
as the saying goes
fighting for peace, is like screwing for virginity
my ISP rocks too... $65 canadian a month .. so thats like 40ish USD.. and i get
2.5mbps down
768kbps up
5 static ip's
+webspace,emails, misc crap
i get full speed all the time, i've done uploading around 10gigz a day for awhile and they never bugged me about it =)
yet.. they are a large, privatized corporation... imagine that.
works for olympus so i buy digi camera's for super cheap ... he told me about the new memory chip's they're gonna use to replace smartmedia / compact flash.. called Xd chips or soemthing .. the size of a quarter: maxing out at 8 gigz... can't wait to carry my mp3 collection around on a quarter sized mp3 player.

or why don't they make a dvd player that looks like a vhs tape
or a cd player that looks like a record...
or a car that looks like a hot dog. oh wait they made that already.

Virtual sword fighting?
why not virtual light sabre-ing?
i can see it now... Jedi Knight VR!

well that was $80 canadian.. so that's what, $2 US? besides.. i had to get a faster one than my arch nemesis (he has a 40x)
just when i go and pay an extra 80 bux for the boost from 40x to 48x #@$%@%
