    My weapon of choice is power archiver. It supports just about everything I would ever come across, for both compressing and uncompressing

  2. Re:Great! on iTunes Might Lose Labels · · Score: 1

    Lowering prices by raising others though is not necessarily "A Good Thing."

    For a class I took here at RIT, we did a market research sort of study. Granted, it's somewhat biased and only represents a small portion of the market.

    57% of students surveyed said that they would stop illegally downloading music if prices were $0.50 and below.

    Students prefered the iTunes pay-per-song model, opposed to the subscription-based models.

    Most of these students (83%) consider themselves to be computer literate and 81% of them download music on at least a weekly basis, legally or illegally.

    I don't know if anyone cares about this info, but I figured it might be a little interesting food for thought.

    Yes, but Apple isn't a software company, as much as they are a hardware company.

    Take iTunes/iPod for example.

    Azureus has that functionality built in. There's a setting for prioritize first chunks (maybe its first/last, but memory says its first).

  7. Re:If they want to do that its fine on Hundreds of Sites Blocked By Canadian ISP · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Just to get you back on semantics, last time I checked, Canada is in America. North America, to be specific. So, RIAA technically can be Canada too. Next time, don't italicise the last A.

  8. Re:FP? - And that's why I use Bittorrent... on Reputation System Fights P2P Junk · · Score: 1

    The main concern among torrent users is that videos/pictures/etc shouldnt be compressed in rars or zips etc because that doesnt allow the users to preview the download. That preview often times helps determine if it is a legit file or not.

    Lots of users won't download compressed movies/pictures because the file cannot be verified before its completely downloaded.

    Also, if you're going to get technical like that, then you might as well say he didnt get a blow job, cause he has clothes on. He got a girl to bob her head between his legs while she was nude.

    If you want to complain, you should complain about their port-blocking of 80 and 25. If you want to run a webserver it either must be on a non-standard port or HTTPS. I run mine on 90.

    How about you read their terms of service. You are NOT allowed to run webservers, so what does it matter that they block those ports? If you are running a server, then you're violating their rules. On another note, to my knowledge, another reason they blocked those (besides the obvious) is due to viruses and worms that have built-in servers.
