What ever may be the price I don't see a point in buying crippled music. The cost is relative. The amount of salary that people draw in their respective countries would also differ. BTW did you know that drugs(as in prescription drugs and generic ones ) are cheaper in canada than in the US.The same case is with books.
In any case crippled music is worth nothing to me.
although KDE and GNOME give you the "interface" its the kernel that is doing actual job behind the scene. Kernel 2.6 has a lot of new and improved features.
Right now the some of the issues that make Linux desktops less appealing to joe six pack and corporate users are "support" as in who would i call to fix a problem, and FUD.
These issues are starting to disappear.InFact sco's case has given a lot of people to take a serious look at linux(and GPL).
also getting a moral push from people like linus is important to any project associated with linux.
So what linus says matters!!!
Well couple of words are missing like
a) Windows is about choice
should have been... Windows is about our choice...
b)you can mix and match software and music player stuff
should have been...you can mix and match within software and within music player stuff
c)We believe you should have the same choice when it comes to music services
incomplete sentence...should have been...We believe you should have the same choice when it comes to music services the same choices you have(well alright had) when buying a new desktop PC from any major computer dealer
hey the act said they "CAN-SPAM" so they spammed. guess they are complient!. Seriously Law should be the first line of defence and shouldn't be the last one. enforcing a law internationally is very very difficult.I am not sure why this is even a news. I am sure this law is just a joke for most of the companies 'cause there would be loop holes which they can exploit.
Even if they are complient there are spam anyway. I don't think it makes much of a difference.
"Hackers" target the OSes that the vast majority of computers use
somewhat true what everyones gripe here is that it doesn't take much brains to use the exploits.most critical security exploits can even be used by script kiddies. Sure all OSes have their problems but windows et al have more because security was a secondary goal. "other people won't say because they blindly hate Microsoft a little too much
Hate- perhaps/perhaps not. but I have to disagree with you there. A lot of people hate microsoft for their business methods, quite a few people hate their products because there are indeed bad(Remember windows Me (bull crap)). hate them but I don't think blindly.
Wear a watch that beeps when there is an internet connection nearby, and stop and check out email?
Well for wardriving you could use
1.Use a zaurus(or any other PDA with wi-fi)
or
2.use This
device
or
3. us this directory to find free hot-spots
Honestly could you tell how may things you buy are actually make in USA? I am not trying to TROLL here but be fair and think about it. Just like any other industry the goods are made by the lowest bidder.Capitalism.
There would be problems with IP violations because the code is proprietary and there is little chance that companies would find out about violations.
The lesson here is you really pay for what you get.
"I'd argue that 100% of recipients hate spam"
Not Really! There are people who buy from these businesses which use spam. Someone pays the spammers and businesses wouldn't be interested if they don't make money using spam. There are people in this world who think their jonny is too small and pay for bull crap. All I am saying is Spam, How much ever you hate it, makes money because some asshole uses it to buy stuff.
The very idea of don't email list is stupid. the only way to fight spam is by attacking their business model. You get spam because some idiot thinks he is getting a good deal for the product that the spammer sells. don't the law makers know that there is a diff between phones and emails? it costs real money to call someone to sell something but it costs almost nothing to send out emails.
Also what about security for these Don't-emails-lists(if they are created)? what are they going to do give the spammer a list of email address he shouldn't email? yeah right. I bet the spammers would support this bill.
what could that feature be?
> Lossless files
perhaps!
>No DRM/Regular MP3
No way RIAA would allow it
> Extremely cheap pricing ($.10 - $.50)
Probably.75 to match rhapsody. Hell I would pay $1 iff its regular MP3 without DRM
>EVERY major artist/song represented (and more indie tracks too)
Never gonna happen.
Does anyone think he caused any grief?
The "Customers" should be happy that they were warned of the security hole. "no proof that McDanel intended to impair the system's integrity"
How would you impair a system by sending out emails? Wait a minute shouldn't spammers be guilty of the same? and they have to wait 16 months to find this while he was "pounded in the arse". Just great.
first of all CERT thing was a fregging joke man with all this sue you sue me going on. second hotmail was indeed blocked during early 1996 just to make sure people got their stupid shell accounts(remember giasmda.vsnl.net.in.blah.blah.blah). How would I know? go figure
There was a time when hotmail was blocked just so that VSNL(then a govt sponsored ISP with monopoly) could get more people as customers of their email address.
judging from India's CERT(shouldn't the real CERT sue over the name issue?) ban we can see what kind of people run the IT sector(atleast on the govt side). Bad day for democracy.
well i agree. there may be couple of other reasons too. One just to get free publicity two best way to make people forget the recent scandal(reporter).
but if its just registration then people at google should also be arrested.
Well if you ask me these ISP's are nothing more than swindlers. Their ad says some fregging MB/second download and what they actually deliver a lower bandwidth. Doen't this amount to cheating or bad business practices. may be its time they get reported to FCC.
I have been doing the same think for the past couple of weeks(harvesting spam) but it just stuck me that it may not be the best way to find a solution for spam. For one what's spam to me would be an "useful" article to you. your thoughts on this?
if possible please spam deadmongrel@yahoo.com thanks!
Gates(eating pie on face): Blah blah blah $$$ Royalty-f%&^&*
Papers report- Blah blah blah $$$ Royalty-FREE
some months later when standards where implimented
Gates : Royalty-free?????? i said royalty-fee. subscription based, auto-daily renewing -Royalty- fee.
I think its time for a open source mail client initiative. I know its going to cost money. But i bet people, including me, would pay to keep it rolling. I think in the near future most of the IM services would be made paid so why not pay to a open source organization.
Well Eco- Friendly cars are out but they may not be a practial option unless you are filthy rich. Since the cars are not produced in volume maintaining them would really be a pain in the butt. For now stick with hondas or toyotas or any other eco-friendly conventional car. Probably in 10 years or so more eco-friendly cars with alternate fuels would arrive. For now stick with v6.

we should have stopped globalization in the first place. Its globalization is not bad but it worth is not much when compared to the problem it makes.
The way the traffic system in India is there is no way an american can handle it unless he is a stunt driver. No offense meant but that's the truth.
