AOL has direct competitors to almost everything MSN has and then some, and can collect just as much personal info to send to a media empire.
umm AOL is a media empire (Time Warner)
... is madness. What's needed is syndication: why can't I pay my ISP a few bucks a month for access to a package of properties of my choosing? TW's advertisers should revolt over this.
it's statistically safer to bet on being struck by lightning 12 times in succession...
not really, even if you win you can't collect your winnings:-) (or did you mean get struck by lightning 12 times in succession and survive? In that case you are incorrect in your calculations)
sorry for any offense caused but I wasn't trying to be serious there. Please locate your sense of humor before posting on slashdot (check outside your doorstep, perhaps its there:-) )
now we have deaf drivers (can't hear you honk horn) looking at an avatar right in front of them and you can't tell if they're looking at the road or not!
let's see, I'm an ISP, all I want is to get connected to the internet as cheaply as possible. Thus I don't want too many links to other ISPs raising my expenses. Okay now I need to choose who to peer with, there's big company A and another, smaller network B. Who am I going to choose? A of course, because it will be more reliable and have more direct links. Thus you have a few large companies connected to a lot of ISPs and if a couple of those go down, then ISPs start routing strictly through another one, which causes it to get significantly higher traffic. Conclusion: ouch. laaaag and problems with reliability and other routers going down
gee wow, now all I need to do is figure out a way to interface to a normal CD player and take its line-out and feed it back into the sound card.
Or I could be not lazy and skip the interface step and just line-out it to the computer.
They said the first DL of the key is free, so play it back and loopback to the line-in (make sure to mute the line-in) to record. All that's left is the anti-watermark code.
one problem- what mechanism exists to prevent access to confidential info. Suppose someoen wants to connect to an ftp server, doesn't that p2p idea mean that actually they might connect to someoen else that connects to that ftp server. how do you ensure privacy when you have higher level routers as you suggested
"And I think that there's a city somewhere named Babylon that doesn't get attacked by all of christendom..."
Isn't the present-day country where Babylonia was centered Iraq?
Doesn't the US constitution require them to be there at the trial to "face their accusers"? If the DOS doesn't give them clearance, they should be free to stay in Russia.

CD-R when referring to the media means CD Recordable. When referring to the hardware it is CD Recorder
