I wonder what ISPs will think about this? Running servers is against the users agreements for most ISPs, but they usually turn a blind eye for personal use. However, we are now talking about using bandwith for commercial use, which is a whole different thing - and of course ISPs ans the XXIA have not been too happy with each other lately.
I also think the title is misleading - it's more like they are using P2P not supporting it.
Well that's a bad example! When I worked at Compaq we had 2 people responsible for 500+ client machines and several servers all running various flavors of windows.
Absolutely! I agree 100%. The only way this information should be released is by court order, and sufficient evidence that the account holder is guilty should have to be provided first.
"It is impossible to produce an arbitrarily long string of random digits and prove it is random. Strangely, it is also very difficult for humans to produce a string of random digits, and computer programs can be written which, on average, actually predict some of the digits humans will write down based on previous ones."
Anyone know of such a program or the theory behind it?
Actually some very educated people believed that heavier-than-air flight was impossible. See http://www.alternativescience.com/skeptics.htm as a good description. I also seem to remember a quote similar to "ok, but it will never carry more than one person", after flight was demonstrated.
Actually you can turn off ActiveX in IE6 under the Security tab of Internet Options, but you have to click the "Custom Level" button to see all the options.
I was switching between CTV Newsnet and CNN this morning - CTV was covering this very important event, while CNN was discussing gay marriage and the upcoming election in Iraq.
That's pretty typical with all PC companies - although 60 out 500 seems somewhat high. I used to work for Compaq and only about 5% of the machines sold had calls to tech support, and only a small percentage of those calls were hardware problems.
That's why companies can offer warranties on products with such a low profit margin these days.
IE already does, and has had so for a very long time! I believe it was automatically linked to MSN search, but all the machines I use have it replaced with Google.

"I really wonder that printers -- especially fast ones -- don't have a proper Emergency Stop
How would that be funny?

"I'm just trying to figure out how the Lightsaber always automagically shuts off when let go of."
Actually they don't. I seem to remember Vader throwing his and it staying on.

PIPEDA does have exceptions. For instance the rules are different for collection purposes, so perhaps there are holes or a grey area for this as well.
I agree though, PIPEDA should prevent them from releasing this information.
Actually the Kapro ran CP/M as it's OS
I'm Suprised they left out Kapro systems: http://www.old-computers.com/museum/computer.asp?s t=1&c=550
My professor at University had one in his "museum of ancient computing".
Hmmmm..
Is that 4'33" of silence, your own creative work, or a picture of an invisible galaxy?
I am not a number! Oh, wait - I'm number 648849.
"To generate a true random stream of numbers is incredibly difficult, if not impossible"
Yeah, that was my first thought as well, as computers can only general pseudo-random data.
As I searched a little on the topic, I discovered the following quote from http://mathworld.wolfram.com/RandomNumber.html, which I found interesting:

It's already been imagined for you in Flight of the Dragonfly
I read it a long time ago and enjoyed it at the time.
I think it was Maxis. You know - the same guys who wrote Sim City.
How about Star Jones?
Thanks.
I didn't know about Nero BurnRights! My wife will appreciate it.
As another Canadian, I can say this true.

All I get is "Windows cannot open this file". I'm running XP SP2.
It's GMT -8 hrs

How about $10 million Canadian? And MOST is much larger than a lunchbox - it's about the size of a suitcase.

Dell's printers are just rebranded Lexmark items, as Compaq's printers were before the HP buyout.
Wait!! "Guns don't kill people, bullets do!"
I'm sorry, I couldn't resist spitting out this Futurama quote.
