SARS Contained

That's because of how well it's spread in densely populated areas, eg in Asia. It's possibly more contagious, but then nobody's been getting their seasonal SARS shots, either.
You can't compare how many they've killed this year if one is being fought with foreknowledge and another races through a petri dish of panicked people.

SARS Contained

· Score: 3, Informative
everyone will think they have the sars when it's just the flu.
Considering that the flu has a higher mortality rate than SARS, I would be more worried about it.
But what of the idealists? Perhaps we don't care how long we live, but just to spread the truth! (e.g., that conventions are found in a dictionary, but ignored out of arrogance.)
This has its problems, of course. For example, how do you really know if you get through to someone? And then, after a while, should you care at all? If you question someone, you are consistently attacked for being hubristic; when in reality you really can't fathom what they're thinking, yet they know they know everything.
There's a point at which clear speech doesn't work anymore, but establishing clarity goes a long way to extending its possibilities. Sarcasm, meta-funny jokes, and textbook "trolling" can make anything mean anything else. Acknowlegding this is the first step in making one's intent clear. But how do you make people desire clarity? I sure as hell don't know.
Perhaps unfortunately, I can't help but realize that people are wrong most of the time (I think slashdot is fairly representative of real life s:n, believe it or not). That's what I know. I know very little else.
If everything were not a personal attack on someone's faith in their own knowledge (which is humourous: they proclaim to posess the knowledge, yet refuse to show it for fear of being proven wrong, yet defend it anyway), then... well, that would be love.
That is an unbelievably intriging suggestion, however facetious in intent. I'll be thinking of that one every time I see a dupe posted and the huge backlash that results.
/me is off to afterslash to check the change in s:n visually.
Not really. As much as I love Gnutella, the network is fucked up because of open sourced clients being modified in ways which are detrimental to the network (eg Morpheus setting all users as ultrapeers).
It would take time for FT to equal that, seeing as how KL seems to be the only popular alternative (not counting giFT; different network, IIRC).
It makes me wonder if Shareaza, the closed source Gnutella/Gnutella2 client, is doing the right thing by not GPLing the souce until the technology is ready to prevent rogue clients.
Damn AOL! Damn them and their buying-up-software-companies ways! (Refer to the history of Nullsoft for more on this.)

I do if I've made a backup copy of it, like I always do.
But you're both idiots.

Fuck you.
This comes from someone who made 1510 on the SAT I in 1989.
And the word is spelled "category".
You are what makes Slashdot bad.
Dear sir,
Thank you for your insight.
This is to notify you that you have been sigged. Enjoy the honor responsibly.
Yours truly,

Gnutella was a "proprietary" solution to begin with, so to speak. And G2's "history" isn't that long. So get over it.
Fuck you, you little punk.
That oughta get the zealots cheering.
Insightful, indeed! :D
Insightful, yes.

I don't know what it's based on now, but it used to be based on the open source client Gnucleus.
Regardless, it has a history of fucking it up royally.

You really know how to make a man drool.
I love you, I.C.
I want to have your... I mean, I want to run your Freenet node. Yeah...
Catch-22, eh? How new is opportunism?
You, sir, need to clean your things more often!
Poop shovelers? (After the fall of civilization and such, you understand.)
Perhaps, but the Beatles do suck anyway; no trolling!
They never pinched my nuts. You must have had homosexual squirrels. They were the cause of many reversed bits.
