Main Ubuntu Desktop system has 5 virtual desktops on 1 monitor, here's windows per desktop: 5, 2, 1, 1, 2
One of which is a remote desktop session to a windows 2003 server which currently has 6 windows but so few because I'm not working right now.
A windows machine on the other monitor for work and games has 7 open windows right now.
My screen session on the linux desktop currently has 6 windows active, my firefox on linux has 6 tabs open, on windows firefox has 10 tabs, visual studio on the remote desktop session has 23 files open.
Soooo lets see that brings my total to somewhere around 5 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 6 + 7 + 6 + 6 + 10 + 23 = 69
I clicked a myspace profile link in a friends bulletin which sent me to what I thought was the login page (I failed to check that hostname was indeed login.myspace.com) The login didn't appear to work and I attributed it to myspace being down at the time. It wasn't till later that I noticed I had posted a similar bulletin with a similar link (though that profile was already dead by the time I checked it). As far as I can tell the only thing they did was post a bulletin to try to get more accounts. I was able to change my password and I haven't had any problems since then.
I personally have installed and ran generic Windows XP on Xen using the existing Intel chips with VT support. Performance basically sucks right now because Xen currently uses qemu to emulate bios/disk/network/video for these devices so with a lot of disk or network IO you can basically take the machine to its knees because it starts using up 100% cpu to emulate the IO.
Actually thats after running idle for a few days with _0_ torrents loaded into the interface (admittedly I hadn't restarted it from the last time I did have torrents running but 200MB of ram for totally idle seems rather silly to me, should be better about recycling.)
I have nearly 100GB of mp3s, but no where near 250,000 songs, look like they just did the math wrong. I have ~9000 mp3s, though only around ~400 of them take up 35GB because they are DJ mixes. Also if you have high quality rips of albums 100GB is still much less than 250,000 songs.
From the article: * Every album needs to have a UPC Barcode!
Buuuuut... CD Baby doesn't require a barcode and doesn't get one for you so I see some problems with CD Baby being able to supply Apple with all the required stuff.
Sitting on my shelf shrink wrapped and signed is a game called 'Neo Hunter' which the dialog for was written by OSC. If I ever find another copy then I'll actually have one I can open and play:)
I don't think its fair to give C-Net flack for reporting what is on the Wrapster authors website, and I quote: "The software creates archives that can contain anything from movies, full albums and the latest warez releases to just plain old images and perl scripts." If thats what the author wants to get draw the attention of the MPAA and other groups like that its his choice. I bet he would be perfectly happy with the way C-Net reported that story.
Obviously the previous post was flamebait but I feel I need to reply and say that you are incorrect, www.thebench.org has only been up for a few days but the people at penny arcade have been making bench strips for a few months (one every sunday). Then they had the idea for a bench contest where loyal fans would make up there own and submit them for a prize. They had so many submitions that they decided to make it a regular thing. But only posting one every sunday left a bunch of strips out in the cold and thus came the idea for thebench.org.
If anybody actually likes thebench.org strips (like I do) and wants a nifty perl script I wrote to download all of them you can grab one here (its on a 56k modem tho I should be online for days so the ip should be good for a while) It might take some tweaking and has problems with strip #'s that are actually missing on the site, but it serves its purpose.
It just won't happen, humans won't just use any technology wisely, just look at what script kiddies have done with computers! Obviously we will have to find a way to use nanotech for good to combat the people who use it for evil. But we first reach a useable level of nanotech it will be easier to make weapons of mass distruction than it will be to make things to protect ourself's against the weapons. On the internet when a root exploit is found and used against people maybe a few sites go down and crackers steal some passwords and creditcard #'s, then 24 hours later we fix the bug and people update the software and the world keeps rolling along. Now when someone makes a nanotech weapon that kills hundreds of millions of people and 24 hours later we build some nanotech that combats it those hundred million people are dead and 100 of those weapons will wipe out the human race.
So in closing nanotech is cool and all but we all should be very afraid and cautious of it.
I suggest reading lots of science fiction novels that have to do with nanotech cause then you'll see that nanotech is scary and you should go lock yourself in the closet rather than get anywhere near nanotech.
But seriously folks nanotech may be the future but if we don't watch out it will be a very short future so we need smart people who are educated on the subject of how it can go wrong (nanotech novels) be the ones who actually do research in the field. Not the people who are like:
"I know how to combine molecules, lets see what happens when I change the largest plant on the face of the earth (algea) to create highly explosive gas. Then we'll accidently drop some in a local pond and in 6 months all the algea in a 2000 mile radius is producing gas. Woops we just had a big lightning storm and half the United States burnt to the ground!!"

They mostly come out at night. Mostly.
ICQ was a plot by Mossad to spy on the internet.

This is due to the frame stuff it does?

.. detect dupes?
Seriously, do we really need 2 reviews of the same book? Especially on the front page?
This was going to be a story on how to write slashdot comments..

Perhaps you should sit down and have a face-to-face talk with those half-dozen or so Azureus users.
Azureus consistantly uses 200MB+ of ram for me.
Another fact some people might forget is that Ellison was the technical advisor for Babylon 5
If there was a way that big corperations could make money off this solution I'm sure it would be up for a vote in Congress rather quickly.
Maybe you shouldn't be using anything? Opie & Anthony just started on XM on Oct 4th.
Take a look at the google ad on the forum thread

Ok place your bets, how long until NetBSD is running on this thing?
i didn't say first ponst i said frist ponst :)
and i started out as 1 because i didn't post anonymously, but now i'm already down to 0
not likely but i might as well try
