The files on the Web sites are not songs or movies but serve as markers that point the way to other users sharing a given file. BitTorrent then assembles complete files from multiple chunks of data obtained from everyone who is sharing the file.
While some of the BitTorrent sites that host seed files have been forced to shut down, many others escape scrutiny because they're only hosting marker files, not copyrighted material.
How is this different than Napster, which had servers that connected users, but didn't host any files themselves? Is it simply because the BitTorrent people don't also run the sites with the Seed File information? Otherwise I'd expect the Napster decision to apply to them equally well.
And how is BitTorrent that different from other P2P systems that multisource downloads of a single file? Is it just that it is more popular at the moment? (Article says that 50% of P2P traffic is BT now.)
Clearly The Constitution is at fault. Didn't those people know how to say what they really meant? And I'd always been told they were the smartest people of their time. Now I'm just sooo disappointed.
I'd like to see you do anything in Photoshop that large with the current memory limits the way they are.
Obviously we need a 64-bit Photoshop to go with the IBM, AMD, or Intel 32/64-bit processors. 64-bit Photoshop would definitely be the single most compelling reason to upgrade to the next version.
That sure blows my Photoshop memory budget out of the water for this year. Although I believe my current version can only handle a maximum of 900MP (300,000 x 300,000).
I hope it's better than the couple TV movies and spinoff series that followed the original B5. While the original show was great (especially the episode "The Believers"), the following stuff didn't seem to live up to it.
What I wonder here is, how can you make something as compelling as a 5 year series in a 2 hour movie?
I'm not buying either until there's either a single, unified standard, or a dual format player at a reasonable (~$150) price. It's just too expensive being an early adopter.
Oh, and I'm not buying one until I have a television system supporting hi-def also.
DRAM already offers more than ten times density compared to SRAM at much better cost.
Excuse me, but isn't the cost of any feature directly related to its size, making the above statement self-redundant?
I mean, a wafer-start is a fixed cost, divided by the number of processors it yields. That makes the area of the processor die directly relate to its cost, and the size of any feature relates to its subcost portion of the overall processor cost.
Or in simple terms: Smaller features should always cost less because you get more of them per fixed cost wafer.
Saw this in letters to The Register. Rather sums it up well.
"It's a good thing that HP never acquired the rights to penicillin. If they had, mankind would have perished from widespread disease while HP tried to figure out how integrate it with anthrax."
That's nice, but what I really need is a flash drive that doesn't lose data (like the last save from a MSWord file) when it's unplugged from Win 2K without being "ejected" first. Maybe a flash drive with its own OpenVMS file system.
Why do I have this bad habit? Because I first started using flash drives on Win98SE, and those manufacturer's drivers always flushed the data to the drive when available. I could unplug them the moment the drive actvity led stopped flashing. When I "eject" the flash drive from 2K, I can see Windows do a final file access to it before telling me it's safe to disconnect. Leaves me really wondering what happens to data in the drive when I get a power failure or BSoD before an eject.

"I find the anti-spam downloadable DDoS tool to be without a doubt irresponsible, possibly illegal, sets a really bad precedent, gives the wrong impression to users, and possibly the dumbest thing I have heard of this week,"
Now that's what I'd call strong condemnation. Yeah, right! Not even the dumbest thing of the month. Oh, yeah, the SCO suit is still in the courts.
I find many jobs that ask for a 4-year degree, which I have. I have yet to ever have an employer even hint to me that some 4-year CS degrees are more equal than others.

I'm sure "better results" refers to any results that do not threaten or embarass the current power structure.

You can be clever with shift operators, or just:
answer = x + x + x + x + x + x + x;
Now which could you have come up with faster?
They didn't use it themselves.
They fully disclosed to users the functions of this screen saver.
The users intentionally downloaded it, agreed to the terms, and knowingly ran it.
I'd think blaming Lycos is legally dubious, at best.
Make that towards your next legal rental. I don't think the MPAA can release anything that doesn't overuse the word "legal" in it.
Now that's what I'd call strong condemnation. Yeah, right! Not even the dumbest thing of the month. Oh, yeah, the SCO suit is still in the courts.
Are there Heisen-features as well?
How about ending the advertising? I wouldn't miss it.
How long before it has its own TV show?
If YMMV, tell you story on this thread.
Will this just let my TiVo record for the rest of my life? After all, making decisions on what to delete is just sooo stressful.
