Take for example R.I.S.E. (i dont care about searching the link. its a sourceforge project, and its NOT in debian). I never managed to get it compiled. 4 different source versions, on knoppix installed and suse 8.0... i let a more linux savy friend try it, he failed, too.
The windows install just installes to program files/rise and creates some startmenue links that work...

Just wait. Leave it on, and remember: different files usually dont collide. So if 1 file finishes in a week, 100 files at once will all be finished in a week. Ed2k is a throughput system, not a latency one.
It will usually take 5-6 hours to build up queue positions for rare files (and 29 sources is quite rare).

Well, AVI is a mircosoft file format. You know, the whole vfw(== video for windows) framework and all. Just because you dont use a microsoft codec inside doesnt change the heritage of the format.
Do you think advertising for amazon for free (as they dont have to pay the normal referer, thus increasing their profits) will give you a moral highground?
I rather give (the provision part of) the money to somebody who searched out the link than to multibillion corporation.
Yes, there was... But like with all things, repair is easier to get funds granded than new building new stuff... The sad thing is, you could build a brand new telescope and send it up with a heavy booser for the same cost it would take to get the shuttle up to make another half assed repair
This planet is billions of km away, and only a few 1000km in diameter.
Its size when viewed from the earth is MUCH lower than the seeing from the athmosphere. In fact its so small that even the spitzer space telescope couldnt resolve it as anything more than a point.
So you have a pointsource.
brightness of the point= (light from planet)/(distance from earth)^2
light from planet=light recieved from sun*albedo
light recieved from sun= constant*(area of planet disc)/(distance from sun)^2
-> brightness oft the point= albedo*solar constant*(radius of planet)^2*pi/(distance from sun*distance from earth)^2
You know the solar constant, you know the distances, and you know that the albedo cannot bigger than 1 (perfect lambertian reflection).
If you just meassure the light recieved from the point, you have only albedo and radius left, which allows a minimum size estimate)
Try putting them 1 and 2 km away, and you will see what the whole thing is about: they will only be points of light, so brightness and distance (and for a planet mass gained by observing multibody interactions) will be the only ways to determine the size.
I watched the discussions about the "hacking incident" on the minor planets mailinglist...
They discovered the first object, calculated the trajectory and didnt publish it for nearly a year. If they dont want to get their discovery "stolen", they shouldnt monopolize observation time by not publishing.
And also, there is NO proof that those proposed methods were used. The re-discovery by the other team was absolutely legit, and they just wet their pants because they feared they would lose the fame for all those stuff they had been hording for ages.
This is about the same deskstar line than a ford from now is like a ford from the 20s...
The only thing the same is the name. Those deathstar drives used different read/write heads, different platter chemistry, different electronics, ect.
Those fault-prone drives are 4 generations away already... theres nothing much in lines of points of failure that would survived through the redesigning and redesigning and redesigning...
Hint: for somebody who NEEDS storage space, this drive will run cooler and quiter and use less space and power than two 250GB drives. And thats the whole point.
Just think DVRs, Archive.org style mass storage, large archives, ect.
Make that 8.5 GB per normal DVD, as i havent seen a non-duallayer DVD movie in a long time. Not to mention stuff like 2 or 3 (or LotR colletion set size) DVD releases.
And for HDTV, 15-20GB would be more of a lower end estimate (at least for 1080i).
I would even say that a digital video recorder HAS to record at lest 20 movies to be usefull, so that would make a 400-500GB class hd a minimum requirement.
Wireless keyboards i agree... But wireless mice arent pointless. In fact that damn wire of my mx500 seems to get in the way of moving the mouse (because blocking somewhere, or slipped down on the side of the desk and pulling the mouse there, too).

I dont get it.

Please explain why this is not offtopic.

How much does a replacement battery for an ipod cost again?
Dont underestimate the energy density of liquid fuel. 2 or 3 liter of ethanol could be enough for years of use, and cost only a few $

Maybe you keep it for yourself for a few day, enough time to doublecheck all observations to make sure you dont report a false alarm.
But monopolizing an object for half a year or longer is just bad style and when somebody discovers it, too, then losing the fame is your own fault.
There are 100s of those games, for every kind of system in japan...
(although the more extreme ones arent on platforms that want to keep a "clean" image)
But you want a schoolgirl rape simulator complete with tactical map for stalking and capturing? No problem there...
And if you press the gass through a turbine to create electricity, you can power a fridge plus radios/computers....
Not to mention it eats through the mug in less than 30 seconds, so you need spare mugs to reach the prison :)
Well, thats not only the future...
My university lauchnes their first mircosat soon (ie a few weeks).
Only a small cubesat, but still....
Yes, there was...

I think the main problem is: just look how the cable bends, stuff is placed on it, ect.
A thin cable would break after a few months (or after a few "mouse drops of desk and is catched by cord" events).
It would just make read bad press and unsatisfied customers..
a) you are the last person on the world that hasnt yet noticed the difference between 10^9 and 2^12
b) Your cluster size will be the same with 500GB as it would be with 50GB...
But as you dont even mention the cluster size (only that its HUUUUGE!!11), i guess you should just take a tour in google and remove your ignorance.
YOU dont need this disc, period.
