a good number of people would think it was talking about Windows Messenger AKA MSN Messenger.
Then perhaps AOL should take a hint from pop-up ads themselves and add a little graphic of the sort of spam message this blocks. Incidentally, I have a hunch that a good number of AOL users would click OK on ANYTHING from AOL...
I may acknowledge it may happen and accept some risk, but it happening would still be illegal (assuming "it" was illegal without this warning) so that really shouldn't clear them too much.
Actually, there's a really neat P2P that's been around practically forever called SneakerNet. It's quite nifty - you simply copy the files you wish to share onto a medium of your choice (perhaps a USB 2.0 flash drive?) and throw said medium at the person you wish to share with, who then copies the files off the medium and onto his computer, putting neat stuff for you back on the drive in the process, and then throws it back. Combining SneakerNet with a large number of people who have large and varied preexisting collections (perhaps college students who don't want to be sued) can result in fairly secure filesharing. (It's a little easier to establish probable cause to snoop an Internet connection than to raid a house, ne?)
The Morrowind crashes (screen freezes, loud buzzing from speakers, I seem to recall other games doing this once in a great while) after less than 7 days of play certainly seem to support your theory =) Say, that reminds me, I have to go sell my copy and buy the bug-fixed GOTY edition...
Buy a cheapo 5-port switch and another AP. Plug your 4 systems into the switch and stick the AP in the 5th or uplink port. Configure the APs to work with each other, and you're done.
Are you sure that will work? Last time I checked, you'd have to get a bridge + hub/switch (or just forget the switch) instead of the second AP.
Say, what's the effect of magnets on USB memory sticks? We're talking headphones here, not leaving the damn thing on top of a radar magnet. Will it ruin the stick? Just erase data? Do nothing?
His legal stuff also contains other crap accumulated over the years, which COULDN'T have been legally downloaded from the Internet, oh, say, pre-1993, give or take.
File sharing of mp3s is illegal
Redundant (MP3 refers to a type of file), and wrong. Sharing of copyrighted MP3s that you do not have the right to distribute is illegal; hell, it's not even illegal to "share copyrighted MP3s" since, in the US at least, they're all automatically copyrighted, regardless of the copyright holder's policy on sharing them.
Run some cable down the hall or use ad-hoc wireless networking, and continue as usual on your own private network. Either physically switch cables, or find some way to separate the two networks in software.
Obviously I'm not l33t enough, but evidently this program writes 0 to the very first location in memory. Is this a joke on how much OO crashes? (supposedly)
My encyclopedia said there's some tolerance; it's 90-110 for average IQ. Evidently the test determines a "mental age", and the formula is Mental Age/Real Age x 100.
1) Write WASTE. -- check!
2) Write a decent UI for it and finish the damn Linux client.
3) Popularize it, together with the extreme importance of not sending keys over the Internet.
4) ???
5) Profit!
The font exploit, which was fixed, was related to installing Linux. There hasn't been any mention of fixing the original exploits in MechAssault and AUF that let you run Linux in the first place, so I imagine you could still run Linux by booting MechAssault/AUF first.
Uh...last time I checked, the DMCA allowed reverse engineering for the purposes of writing interoperable software. Linux would certainly fall under this category.

Pretty impressive for gaseous uranium compounds to consist entirely of uranium, but no other elements...
Shouldn't you just hug GNU/Linux? Somehow I doubt Galeon is the sole force preventing Gator from somehow spawning on your computer...^_^

How about sneakernetting, which I mentioned in my reply to the other post about secure p2p in this topic?

I have an Xbox, but what's an "X-Box"? Is it some sort of Chinese ripoff?
It doesn't have to succeed...the RIAA can just die. Please?
It's called the Center for Disease Control.
Yeah, I know...how did this get modded funny, again? ^^;
Microsoft's superior technology inovators develop a compression algorythm
I, for one, would like to welcome our new compression overlords. =D

Studies have found that 99,999 out of 100,000 Americans think the 100,000th guy is a dumbass.

Cheap computers! Somebody should port Linux to the Cube...just imagine a Beowulf cluster of these! =P
