http://gaim-vv.sourceforge.net/ LATEST NEWS: Oct 07, 2005 - Forward potr of gaim-vv 1.2.0 to gaim cvs head is working. I would like to clarify that gaim-vv isn't completely dead, we're working on merging with gaim. There will be no further gaim-vv releases, as code will be added to the main gaim program.
For those who don't know gaim-vv was a friendly fork to get stuff like webcams working - last release allowed users to view webcams from MSN, yahoo
If two or more people (possibly unknown) agree to do something illegal but a civil and/or minor offence - eg copyright infringement - conspiring to do so is a felony punishable by up to 20 years jail in Australia at least.
So sharing a file may be bad and infiringing copyright, but joining a swarm is consipring to commit an offence.
Time to install a root kit yourself and say the evil crackers have taken over my machine(s)?
I agree with you, but have found a simple "thought" experiment sometimes works well.
Next time someone says global warming is not or may not be real, ask them what they know of physics and of thermodynamics in particular.
Take billions of tonnes of stored energy locked up in carbon based fuels and burn them.
Would you expect such an act to raise the local temperature?
Now the residue (CO2 etc) is known to limit IR emmissions so you are trapping more energy.
Why do you not expect this to raise the local temperature?
As the Earth, the thermodynamics here, is almost a black body radiator and can only dump so much energy per unit time - what is the point at which this release of energy can't be released through blackbody radiation immediately and the local stored energy, hence local temp, increases.
So this means that there exists a vast(?) body of research on chemicals and processes (not drugs yet) that could help humanity but won't be touched?
Does it ever become economic to take all that research and make a library/guide of it?
Maybe some student looking for a research project - maybe funded by one of the big foundations - or a government - could document at least some of it so people can see what are and aren't blind alleys.
If you are going to go to that trouble please try a test for me.

that refreshing/reloading one site does something, rather than varied browsing.
If you were sharing porn in wholesale quantities I would be more concerned with a visit from some of the financial beneficiaries of these products.
Not all of them are upstanding members of the community who would use a lawyer to sort out the problem.
They may have a more sensible view and regard it is as market expanding to let the older items fertilise the market for new products, but they could turn nasty.
Not all pornographers are connected to organised crime, probably not even most, but you don't want to find out the wrong way.
" You don't need a stable solar orbit when you can't even get to low-earth orbit reliably."
Unless and until someone manufactures a reliable process for significant mass tranfer from Earth to at least LEO this is all crap.
The people/company/gov that controls cheap earth to LEO+ will dominate any part of near Earth space they want.
If the USAF want to domiante the Lagrange points then they had better get off their asses and into their own and NASA's files and find out what does and doesn't work in terms of lifting mass to orbit.
Otherwise it will the next in line - China, Europe or India. Or a South American country in 20 years when they get over their current economic problems.
Solar orbit - a good place to store large amounts anti-matter
Solar wind - high speed protons form the sun
[see where this going yet?]
Build large particle accelerators in orbit using the Sun as source of energy (solar powered) and source of protons - really cool as soon as you figure out the alignment problem you don't have to do the incredibly wasteful curved thing like at CERN. remember to make the collectors big [really big].
Also you can do some cool research without worrying about blowing up day care centres, lots of people etc.

When are the coke addled idiots who run these things going to think?

It might be Conspiracy though.

Missing option:

Here local means planet Earth?
Please correct where I screwed up this argument.

the ac may be right, but if I was selling one of these bots, I would be having it phone home very quietly when it was playing with real money.
If you are using one of these - how good is your firewall?

search for blockfall.xpi
At least the music would be good even if the clothes aren't
I would rather Orac on my side.
You pinned the problem in one.

Use google - a pdf of the rules is lurking out there somewhere.
Foresight - current to the future.
Hindsight - current/past to fantasy incl magic and religion
The Sun - insane amount of energy.

" What do standards matter on code that makes no difference to the resulting program, and that no-one needs to read?"
These are known as famous last words.
Find a copy of blockfall.xpi if /. isn't enough of a time waster for you.
Install in firefox.
Anywhere you can run firefox you can play Tetris.
European Air War is one of the few games I play on my home comp.
Easy and fun.
I don't play online but there is a large group of people who do with all sorts of mods etc that have grown over the years.

I personally think they will provide infrastructure for double blind signatures.
Also note what I have not yet found on gmail is direct support for public/private keys.
If google started acting as public key repository would people trust them? For a micropayment system I might.
