I respect copyright, and I think it is OK if someone wants to make money with something he/she has worked hard for. The RIAA has the right to go after copyright infringements all the way, _BUT_ the RIAA and others (I live in Germany, we have something like the RIAA overhere too) have taken my rights for free personal use away first, then started suing me, over something the has been normal and common (sense) for years. I'm not trying to protect professionals and semi-professionals who charge money for a copied version of an album, complete with (color) photocopied inlay, they should be procecuted, no question.
Whinging about lessened wins, or worse vollume, without taking into account that in the same period of time, people (ie here in germany) had 5-15% less real money to spent because if inflation, and paychecks not keeping up with the inflation, shows how shortsighted the RIAA people are.
Further RIAA and pals are ignoring the fact that in the last 3 years everybody and his neighbor are spending a lot of money on cellphone bills and DVD's, this money is not spend elsewhere.
I think if you add the whole entertainement industry together (even exluding Broadband and CDR Sales) people are spanding more on on the whole, but less on audio cd's.

This looks like we are back in the colonialisation era. At that time europeans would invade some new tertory, put up their flag on the beach, and declare this country to be rightfully added to their home land. They didn't give a rats ass about the people allready living in those countries (like aboriginees or indians) then. Maybe it is the same for the asteriodians now.
The main misconception, totaly overseen (on purpose or not) by Verisign is that they asume that DNS query are only used for browsing the internet.
Altough this 'feature' may sound like an nifty thing to have for, say, my mom or dad, who are Internet Illiterates, it is not usefull for anything else. For a mistyped domain M$ IE pops up a page with the same 'functionality' Verisign offers, but because M$ implemenents it at the Browserlevel it is OK with me. If you don't want it you can use another browser, heck you can even find the HTML page on your harddrive and change it back to whatever content you want to.
Thus verisign reduces the use of the Internet to browsing the web. But as far as I known, the net is mostly used for things like emial, FTP, P2P,...
Having queries for mistypes domaines return valid info severly breaks the email-system, and patching a workaround to this 'feature' leads to crufty code in the mail server.
All in all the whole idea is not only dumb but very short sighted.

Yep, I had two off those IBM 80 Gig Drives, they whined like hell after a few minutes uptime. Not a real loud noise, just a high pitched noise (like having a tinitus).
I replaced them with Seagates Baracuda (120 Gig) which is virtualy silent in my opinion.
I also replaced the stock power suply (some cheap no-name thing) with an Enermax (EG365P-VE FMA) which has the adjustable Fanspeed feature. I installed the Zalman heatpipe on my Geforce Ti4200, and put an Artic cooling (AC????) heatsink on my Athlon 1700+.
Now my PC can't realy be heard standing 5 feet away, hell, my aquarium produces more noise than my PC. (Guess I'll hop over to www.aquarium-tuning.com)

2.4.0 ! That's old stuff you lamer, I just pulled linux 8.1 from a warez site.
But the lock symbol is _not_ about me trusting a website.... This is a major misconception ( don't these kids get educated at all these days?) The lock only means the data transfer is encrypted, so that no one can snoop my data.

Yep that's the revolting difference between Javascript (ok) and ActiveScripting(tm)(Totaly unsafe at any speed) Basicly they are the same but JavaScript has the 'sandbox' principle which is totaly ignored in activeScripting on windows. _that's_ why it is so idiotic to surf the net with IE. To view a lot of pages you need Javascript (animated menus, mouse over effects,....) which is not nesecarily a bad thing. But 'dangerous' things can be done with ActiveScripting. That fact that you cannot have one without the other is the main reason not to use IE.

the latest version of VMware (4.5) suports a total of 4 Gig Ram.
( 3.6 Gig max for a single Machine)
So you can have 3 1.2 gig machines, or 12 300 MB machines, or whatever....

Nope,
for me the _real_ difference between windows and *-Linux is managebility.
With Debian, Gentoo and many others it is very easy to keep your complete workingenviroment uptodate.
Unlike microsoft update, wich only does the basic operatingsystem and explorer updates,
with debian your whole setup is controlled with apt-get.
Now with frontends like synaptic, chossing keeping uptodate is easy and pretty. (never underestimate pretty)
I really hate the way different windows programms try to track updates whenever they want, and bug me into updating.
I thought the same,
Maybe I _want_ to switch from Debain to Longhorn
after seeing how kewl it is.
But I can't watch the video...
Nope,
