So you reloaded Slashdot how many times so that you could do your best to get a First Post?
If you really want to get sympathy, don't make a post that competes with a short story, dialogue and all. Pity-magnet posts rarely result in anything but you getting a chance to express yourself on a site which probably has a strong lean towards pro-p2p. Instead run for political office.
Change the world. Maybe try to start an online Christian Rock store. Times change, so innovation is the key to long term success.
Shoulda commented that just because the ISP's tech rep. says you can run a web server does NOT mean you really can. Please don't make my mistake.
I am semi-aware of being able to choose what port to host your site with, but I gave up on that. But of course, if you are determined, then you can probably work around this.
I apologize for patronizing you, but definitely make sure that the ISP you choose does not block ports required for hosting email, dns, or web servers.
I know I once payed Verizon ~$70/month thinking I would host my own site, only to find out they don't allow home website hosting.
The problem with this is that the torrent file still needs the voracity.net tracker that the Author decided to use. If that fails, it won't matter if you have the torrent file or not.
But your just being helpful, and any extra bandwidth should be gladly accepted. Ty;)
Often people have problems connecting to the tracker because of a firewall. Then again, often if you just wait 5-10 minutes it will start downloading despite the error message which would make you think otherwise.
I realize I am stooping to a new low here. Anyway, for a more interesting read, go to http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=fubar..they make a distinction between how "hackers" use the word. =)
It's one thing to block a phone number. It's another to block an email.
Email is complicated. While most telemarketers seem to call from inside the US, email comes from all over the world.
Spam is too profitable and too complex to just stop with a finger. Making a quick initiative to block spam is often fatal as seen when the first spam filters came out. All of a sudden you didn't receive that one email saying you won the lottery. =)
In Mac OS X you can set the dock to magnify the programs your mouse is over.
This is how I am guessing this new 3D navigation works, by magnifying as you move around.
I turned my dock's magnification off.:-) The fact that list view has been here for so long should say something. People like lists where everything looks the same. Having things pop up from unreadable sizes out of nowhere seems a little unnatural.
I am inclined to say that the revolutionary idea that will change how we look at our computer desktop has not yet come.
As much as we may feel it is immoral to use technologies or embrace medical advances discovered through inethical means, these experiments have proved most valuable.
And yes, I use the word war loosly here, for we now have a reason to believe that a war is coming in one form or another.
Every time I think they could be cheaper I wonder why someone(!!!) doesn't recompile it their own way and beat OpenOSX's price. You say it's so easy after all.
Everyone is always saying how they are ripping people off for something they just recompiled, so why don't you recompile and release as freeware which is just as easy to use and install. Yes, and once again I know about Fink, OpenDarwin packages etc. They are getting better, but I want the dumb version I can understand.
Oh, and I got free tech support because I am _nice_ when I emailed for help.
FYI this product has been out for well over a year(I bought a copy last December I believe).
Before I bought it I downloaded Bochs. I am no ubergeek, so I didn't even get past compiling it.
It works. First I ran Linux on it, then got DOS running, then Win95. It works. It works. It's slow. It works. Compared to spending hundreds of dollars to buy Microsoft's Virtual PC, this is magical. (plus, they have nice bundles where you can get open-source Office, GIMP, and other such programs together for very nice prices... yes, I am a newbie and I don't want to use Fink anymore)
I just have to ask if it really only takes one hour for the final tally.. ?
Seems just a little fast without electronics(no humor intended).
Also, with each party having a rep. at each and every location, every so often someone must cry foul. What do the police do? Throw them out? Recount? Dance?
Just a thought, but I have a feeling that when bidding gets to the thousands of dollars for something worth virtually nothing, Ebay starts to get a little weary.
I know that I once had the great experience of falling for a new TiBook 1GHZ for only $1500. Bidding went well above that, and Ebay then pulled. Turned out it actually was a scam.
My guess is that Ebay would happily risk stopping a real auction for the small chance it might be a hoax(instead of vica versa). In this case on the chance the bidders won't back their wagers.

Where is the Governator when you need him? Super soakers were put on this dear Earth for a reason. I want some XT500000 SuperSoaker squirt gun action!
Firefighters, stand back.

Good point. Very good point. Yea, so mirroring the torrent is definitely very nice of you. Thanks bud.
.torrent file does not amount to enough to bring the guy to his knees!
Everyone lets hope that the sheer number of people downloading the
I would genuinely appreciate it if someone with one of the experimental/advanced BitTorrent clients replied with how many peers are connected.
This is a decent sized file @ 60 megs, so I am considerably interested.
On a Mac here. Official BitTorrent client is all we have so far, at least as far as I am aware.
Although it is on the homepage, not everyone will think to click on the link meant for the press.
Nonetheless, it has some nice clean big pictures so take a look. Nice stuff.

Good luck.
I am downloading stable @ 11k/s.
I am uploading stable @ 45k/s.
As my upload speed has climbed, my download speed has climbed as well. Fantastic. Really. No complaints.
Reload the link to eBay and look at the counter near the bottom of the auction listing. See the Slashdot effect in real time. Impressive.

My question is simply how young is young enough for this kind of quick settlement.
13, 14, 15, 15... where is the line drawn? And yes I know there must be a lot of grey areas, but still.
That said, wars are known as times of innovation.
