I'm not going to tell you that you SHOULD get high-speed Internet access, perhaps it's not what you want or need, however, most Linux users are on some type of high-speed connection, and so you might find support for dialup in Linux to be quite lacking. I know I did several years ago, and this was still when a lot of people used dialup.
I actually had this problem in Windows, I had turned on ipv6 a long time ago and forgotten about it. I couldn't figure out why some sites would take AGES to load, but then I realized it was only sites with AAAA records causing the delay.
The problem is, DiVX/XViD aren't designed with streaming in mind..
Check out WinampTV, full-screen buffer-free streams are possible with XViD already, and this is with zero funding or venture capital.
It wouldnt even be hard to encapsulate DRM into XViD if someone wanted to, honestly I can't understand why companies are so hooked on using Real's formats when there are FREE alternatives that are better.
Have you noticed if this has caused some programming not to be aired? In a way, this reviewing could end up censoring some programming if too many people think it shouldn't be aired for whatever reason. Some may think a particular program would be too edgy for their area and vote it as being "bad".
Considering it doesn't work too well right now, probably nothing. *Sigh* Video chat in iChat works very well -- it's a shame that AOL doesn't support it better cross-platform.
How is it a shame that AOL doesn't support an Apple product?
Are you saying that because you had access to the Half-Life 2 Beta, you have authoritative knowledge through some developer-fed channel from Valve that gives you verifiable information concerning the theft?
I'm saying exactly what I said, which is that I played the Hl2 Beta. The fact that people downloaded and played it should be enough "verifiable information" that it was leaked.

If anyone flashes me (UK) in this fashion I deliberately make their task of passing as difficult as possible.
Hey, why do you suppose it's called the passing lane?
People accidentally loiter in the passing lane all the time, it's easy to drift off and not realize where you are, but when you are reminded nicely to get out of the way(flashing lights), and you not only refuse, but start being an asshole about it you deserve be pulled over and fined.
Being passed in the passing lane is illeagal here, and for good reason. How would you feel if you were being taken to the hospital with a critical illness, only to be held up on the way by some idiot with a sore ego and something to prove?
eah, this thing is about as robotic as a toaster. You put bread in (shirt on), set the darkness (timer), push the button and come back and take it out (off) when it's done.
How is THAT a robot? It's a dummy that inflates with hot air(that you have to put the shirts on yourself, no less) that is supposed to save you $1700 worth of your time somehow.
I know that legitimate users will gripe, but why not have a sign up database somewhere that allows those people to run a legitimate mail server, with a three strikes and you're out rule for spam complaints.
You can get three people to complain about anything.
Just wanted to chip in a 'me-too', it's weird the amount of computer geeks I know that smoke. I cant even count the times I've bartered computer repair for pot:p.

Why's this funny?
He's got a problem with software that cost a great deal of money, why the hell SHOULDN'T he call tech support? Seems like the first thing he should have done...
Yes, this is the point of shared libraries.
(not to mention the fact that your compiled apps use less space)
SpiderMan.2.SVCD.TELESYNC-V****CD
:p
No, he's not
(for the uninitiated, the term 'Telesync' refers to a higher-level than cam rip, with a direct audio feed, and is done in a usually empty theatre)
So, how's the mullet?
/couldn't resist :p

Netcraft confirms it! Alpha is....... nevermind

"Can you hear me now?"
Who cares!
I'm with you. Prior to these arrests, I had even wondered if the supposed theft had happened at all.
:p
Coming from someone who played the Half-Life 2 Beta, I assure you it really happened
And how is MacOS supposed to control that?

Yes, however when you tell your dealer that you want a half ounce, he's going to measure out 14 grams for you.
Just because you don't see it, doesn't mean it's used.
..I just made them a root-user which was typically nick-root, that way things could be more easily tracked, etc. Works pretty well.
