  1. so what? on Morpheus Infiltrates Other P2P Networks · · Score: 5, Informative

    Discussion is already up on the MLdonkey Lists about possible infringement of the MLDonkey GPL License.

    MLdonkey connects to all kinds of Networks, as Edonkey, Overnet , Bittorrent , Gnutella, Gnutella2 and Fasttrack and that seems where the Morpheus NEOWhateverTech (insert your favourite marketing-droid-speak here) code comes from.
    BTW, apart from being GPL and from being written for linux originally, MLdonkey gives you a nifty web-interface which lets you search and download (at home) all sorts of stuff while hanging out at the office :-)

  2. Re:Ellen "MS" Feiss on Microsoft Switcher Ads: Part 2 · · Score: 1
    you might just laugh, but reality tends to beat everything satirical - this came in today on focus-ms@securityfocus:

    Hi all, I've had some unexplained things happen on my NT 4.0 workstation. I was having some problems with blue screening before because my palm pilot cradle was not set up right with the baud rate. I also noticed that someone had mapped a drive to another server with the Administrator account. I know I don't know the password for that account, and that concerns me.
    When I was checking things out, I noticed that "my computer" icon was like a yellow unhappy face. I've never seen that before. When I placed my cursor over it, it changed to a different icon...but no the hardware drive that it usually looks like. After I rebooted, it went back to normal. Hasn't happened since. I've disconnected my PC anywhere, ran a virus scan on my machine and changed my password. Has anyone ever heard of a unhappyface icon on NT? Virus or otherwise?
    Thanks

  4. Re:No WindowsWorld since Windows users don't like on MacWorld Expo Report, Part II · · Score: 1

    When something doesn't work they don't think it's the Operating System's fault. They believe it's their own fault or perhaps they blame it on "the computer".

    ok, so far i can follow you.

    Mac users love their computer environment and are very very faithful to Apple.

    ...although they know, that if the system crashes, and it _does_ crash a lot (on 8.x and 9.x), _it_is_ the fault of macOS ("the computer"). and still they go for mac? whatever the pricetag? that is not just faithfulness, that's a religion. and religions suck.

  5. Re:Is the arcade dead? on Sony In Deal For Networked Arcade Games · · Score: 1

    Maybe I've been out of the arcade scene for too long, but best I remember a video arcade was about as good a place to meet women as a CS department as a Tech school.

    True. in my times it was like this: if you actually managed to dig up a girl somewhere else, you went to the video arcade with her and showed off. and all she had to do was to marvel at your gaming skills and show everybody else to whom she belonged.

  6. Re:Selfish? on Cyberselfish: Technolibertarianism · · Score: 1
    While the average person is being reduced to a semi-literate consumeroid, a profit battery for some giant corporate machine, there must beSOMEONE who cares about the future of the world. Why not us? If there is no other group of people who cares enough to think further ahead that what's for dinner tonight, why then shouldn't it be us who cares about the generations to come?

    You told us yourself:

    I own several guns, I'm going to vote for George W Bush, I own a gas guzzling Sports car and a big honking SUV. Why? Because I feel like it.

    That's why. You just do what you feel like - and caring about the world, the universe and everyting with someone who just does with his guns what he feels like, seems utterly inapropriate to me.

    We _need_ to _control_ people like you (and me, for sure), else this whole thing will blow up sooner or later.

  7. Re:What the Almighty Metallica said... on Shut Down Metallica, Not Napster · · Score: 1
    They also went on to say that they're using their cult following and status as the Almighty Metallica to help new, upcoming bands continue to profit from the current economic guidelines that rose them to success.


    Honestly, i'm not into music biz, but i do know a lot of people who are into music, have a job, don't need money from some old *farts* like Metallica and have a huge, very inspired output. Money does not make art. Creativity does.


    Metallica is as much art as M$ Windows is. Face it, Lars and the other guys are not on napster's ass to be able to donate money to poor bands, but to make huge profits. The lie, you know it, i do and they certainly know as well. I don't buy anything from Liars.
