This could be awesome if someone turned it into a consumer product, maybe add a barcode scanner and have the bus companies hand out barcodes that can be translated to a code from the company's website, thus downloading them.... i see the possibilities now.
well, dalnet has now just died, i used to support warez kiddies, etc... I have changed my views since then (piracy is wrong, however, self regulation is proper) in my warez days, the irc operators used to close down channels at their whim, and not just warez chans either, even chat chans not related to warez, but not "Family Friendly" thats why dalnet is is being ddosed. some people (such as i) would like to CHAT and maybe offer a few files to share (i do on efnet now, but its not warez, or pirated mp3s) this seriously impedes this. and also, the family friendly chat idea brings up a bunch of channels with power-crazy operators with stupid scripts and people that dont know how to use irc using ugly colors and stuff. thats why i no longer use dalnet (and those colors are ugly in xchat) Efnet is a much better enviroment for me at this time.
Im worried, this could this be the end of linux.. another project with an aim to replace windows, do you consider this a major threat (the idea of something replacing NT bothers me, because linux is already there, and far beyond)
I must agree, a player like this is considered fair use, plenty of people will still deal with ads, and in fact, if people decide to bypass them, its their choice, you purchased the dvd, its YOURS, no need for licencing on media like that, the filmmaker owns the movie rights, you own the right to play the dvd as you please...
i agree with the firmware idea, and make it so that you have a boot floppy/cd that u use to change it, *business card size* and the users will learn better to set up their equipment properly to gain access, this is not a facist idea, just simple for security, if a monkey cant keep his box secure, he doesnt need to be on the net. im tired of script kiddies
Well, you make it so they HAVE to change the password to gain internet connectivity
This comes from a security paranoid linux user who also likes OpenBSD
sure, i get about 10 spam msgs a week, but i have filters set up in evolution, so i dont even see them, and plus, theyre so specific, there isnt any margin for accidently deleted stuff (and i still get my daily dilbert)
it is true, what is it this day with companies so much as farting and sueing the crap out of each other... they need to back down, split monsters inc 50/50 and leave it as is. and stop with this corparate bellyaching.
well, ive had enough of this dmca garbage.. it needs to be replealed NOW!!!!!!! the dmca is a violation of our first amendment rights, why doesnt the people the lobbyists are working for just write off piracy as promotion and leave it be. the mpaa and the riaa need to be abolished, and ill say it again, the dmca needs to be replealed, it is NOT the american way!
Well, id say do something even better, run half with gnome, half with KDE... this way you have the best of both worlds.. Linux is alot easier to administrate whan windows, it is also alot more secure
Simple, easy, not unsightly method...
run fiber cables between buildings, then hook up a closet in each building, set up a router and firewall configuration for a t3 in some closet and you got it made. simple, fast, not unsightly and only requires a little modification (bury the cables)
heh, png is great, i use it rather than jpg the only problem is the imcompetent windows users sometimes do not know how to open them =/ otherwise, i use XCF for gimp because of its power, but its like psd and photoshop formats, its not widely accepted yet.
RIGHT! i have no problem with linux and i have messed with slackware. its worth knowing a bit of unix tho. I dont care about joe user newbie, people should get some real expirence before they are allowed to have real operating systems. and as for AOL, it should be banned from the net because they add to the problems, i see so many people on IRC with aol hosts claiming to be l33t h4x0rs and they dont even know what gnu/linux is!!!!
i agree alot with you, its just one of those things, if they ban cell phones, they might as well ban children as well, whats next, no date at a musical?

Us linux users LOVE SUN and we LOVE denmark, oh hell, if denmark gives me a free T1, can i set up a linux portal site there? LOL
all i can say is enough evolution filters and no spam, gotta love ximian
Plus it would also be great for security and would teach the students diversity between operating systems. No more baby bills!!!!

Yeah literally, does it run debian, slack, or gentoo? i really dont feel like using RH
i dont want the perfect linux world that it is now to change, i feel so helpless and innocent!

im not dating children... you misunderstood... i meant after they ban children they are going to ban girlfriends too
Mandrake is really really good, im using it now, even tho i compiled my own kernel...
