  1. Re:Well quite simply... on RIAA Obtains Subpoenas Against File Swappers · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The deftones recently released 49 bootlegs so fans didn't have to buy them off e-bay.

  2. at my high school... on Good and Bad Uses of Tech in Public Schools? · · Score: 1

    the administrators would have the latest and greatest equipment to run Powerpoint or Word on, while the students had old Pentium IIs. They also paid a lot of money (15K$) for a content blocker to make sure we didn't look at porn, but we could turn it off pretty easily. Mega waste of money.

    Players complain to the GMs in game when they are scammed, or to Sony support, and Sony doesn't like dealing with it.

  5. Re:Some of us are still waiting... on Linux v2.6 Begins Testing · · Score: 1

    2.6 isn't testing, 2.5 was. This is just a pre for 2.6 I think.

  6. Re:RPM is best because of the support on Binary Package Formats Compared · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Try Debian or a Debian based distribution. Apt-get and dpkg are just great. I used to use Red Hat but I use Debian now and would never go back.

    (what is) "Unclear is why SCO thinks they have the rights to RCU, since the technology was originally developed by Sequent in the early 1990s."

    Get one of those sexy new Camino laptops, format it, put Debian 3.0 unstable with Gnome 2.2 on it, and mock the windows losers in your CPS classes =)

  17. at my university.... on Congress Asks Universities To Enforce Copyrights · · Score: 2, Informative

    Some people I know run ftp sites off their computers here. They used 3800$ worth of bandwidth since Christmas between the 2 of them.
    The first one, the network admins actually caught, with logs and everything, and told him to stop.
    The 2nd, the dumbass network admins thought was being used as a 'zombie' to packet other people's computers. They didn't even look at his packets to see what was going across.
    Another interesting thing is they blocked Kazaa here, but not FTP or IRC. They also have a 'penalty box' where people who exceed the day's bandwidth allotment go. It makes your IP 50% packet loss unless you switch to another IP (we have DHCP, but you can still assign your own IP).
