do you think there are 20 people using Kazaa that aren't sharing copyrighted files?
"When Abraham learned of the reason for God's appearance, he was concerned for Lot and his family. He asked God if He would spare the city for 50 righteous men. He did not know how far God would extend His mercy, but in his inquiry he learned that if just ten righteous people could be found, Sodom would be spared (Gen. 18:23-32)."
can kazaa be spared if some legitimate users can be found???
that's precisely why they also want to outlaw technology which masquerades or otherwise obfuscates the real originating IP of the connecting computer. They want firewalls, especially Linux based firewalls, outlawed.
for this and all the others who jumped to conclusions about binary drivers... where did I mention closed source??? I said "proper manufacturers' drivers for all the chipsets on the board"
nota bene... "proper"... complete with scripts/info files to make adding them to a distro painless for ordinary people, not just "kernel jocks". I've been running Linux for some 4 years now and still haven't compiled a kernel. I haven't had to and can't see the need either.
it's about time some of you got together and had another "Tea Party" and throw those corporations back out of power. Re-enact some of your old safeguards against corporate abuses...
cor... this sounds oh so familiar... anyone remember ftp by email??? History repeating itself...
Query the ftp server by email and get the directory list emailed back to you. Then you could send the command via another email which would result in the file being emailed back to you overnight ready for you to retrieve it.
And then there was "trickle" where files could be sent/refreshed to your uni's mainframe's ftp server overnight and would be there for you to play with the next morning and you would always have the most recent version of the file as they'd have been synched via trickle
no... genuine regret... I want to see an official AOL client for Linux... then my father and brother no longer have a valid excuse for not converting over to Linux. They're very happy with the service they get with AOL, so why the heck should they have to change ISPs and go through all the hassle of mailing all their friends their new email accounts just to go for Linux??? Plus, they'll be losing access to all the AOL only content that they enjoy...
I'm an ex-Compuserve man myself and I still miss the old forums and friendly discussions we had plus the extra subscriber only stuff we used to get. Usenet's not quite the same, at least on Compuserve you could easily get someone tossed for abusive behaviour. With usenet and anonymous mail-to-news gateways it's too easy for idiots to make a newsgroup hell for the other regulars. You can't moderate them out and they can easily get round most killfiles just by simple changes to their nyms.
That makes absolutely no sense whatsoever....co.uk is the commercial domain for UK based companies who only intend to sell to those in the UK... so by deduction,.co.us should be a similar domain for US companies who only want to sell to the US... what irks me is all those little mom & pop operations who've snaffled.com domains and are only selling to the US. this has made life rather irksome for several UK based companies who want a.com address but find it's already gone...
It's also resulted in the weird situation where Tuvalu has made lots of money from it's.tv domain by letting tv companies use it in exchange for loads of money...
The whole domain names thing has been a mess from start to finish. And it isn't helped by the default behaviour of certain browsers that use.com as the auto-completion when a word is typed in. This produces an unhealthy skewing of the results. Typing in AA in the Uk should result in the webpage for the Automobile Association... but we get your American Airlines... Instead, our AA has to use the non-intuitive "theaa" string to get it to come up...
"Just because I am visible to you over a network doesn't mean I am obligated to do business with you. The nationality independence of the web means Turkish people can buy things off Turkish sites, Japanese people can do business on Japanese sites, etc. and it works well for everybody. It doesn't imply that everyone doing business on the Internet is responsible for servicing customers from anywhere in the rest of the world."
ah if that's the case, then you shouldn't be using a ".com" suffix then. You should be using ".co.us" if you're only going to sell goods to US based addresses
It would have been so much easier to get hold of one of those LPG powered fridges that you can get for use in Caravans and Boats etc. but that would have been far, far too easy...
and application developers who've been waiting for the dust to settle before moving their apps to the platform.
You'll never get anywhere if you're waiting for the dust to settle... You'll be way behind all those who've already jumped onto the Gnu/Linux juggernaut...
This could be a violation of their terms with the DOJ as well. DOJ should be subpoenaing all notes/conversations/etc between Microsoft and SCO for the last year or so...find that smoking gun and turn it right back that Microsoft.
and what about all the conversations in country clubs and golf clubs etc. that never get recorded. The deals done on the green with just a handshake and no paper records... you scratch my back while I scratch yours...
haven't you seen "Minority report" yet??? That should give you some ideas for applications...
You must really enjoy printing out fresh copies all the time. I was under the distinct impression that computers would have brought us the "paperless" office by now, but if you had your way we'd be buried neck deep in printouts... Got shares in Printer companies??? enjoy paying ridiculous amounts for soot in a fancy cartridge??? Love reloading printer paper drawers???
paper super cheap??? give me a break... all that bleach and water used in it's manufacture...
Sidebars such as Karamba need to be more useful than just show information. There needs to be a way for a user to interact with the information presented to them. Until that happens they will remain pretty much useless (and off my desktop).
so you're expecting other people to develop your content then??? the whole point of Karamba and Super karamba is that you are given the tools to do it your way. Use other peoples themes as a base, but you have the basis to customise it exactly as you want. Don't dis what has been done so far, it gives excellent examples for others to use. Just blame yourself if you can't find a use for it.
what do you expect... they've just been slashdotted... He has to pay for his bandwidth. You could at least go through paypal and make a donation... or else done the decent thing and mirrored that page instead of just linking to it.

1000 hours is a ridiculously short time. And what's to bet that anyone who develops a hack to extend or disable this "feature" will have the DMCA chucked at him/her. And what about third party bulbs??? Probably find the bulb format and connector is unique and protected by a patent...
whoah there... there starts the slippery slope of little steps towards everyone being implanted at birth with a thought control chip cum gps locator cum life termination device

NO... RTFA
you couldn't be @rsed but you posted anyway...
all those questions and they didn't ask them whether they were going to be more Linux friendly with their motherboards...
What we really want is proper manufacturers' drivers for all the chipsets on the board, included on the CD that comes with the motherboard.

now we'll never get an official "AOL for Linux" client...
That's one heck of a lot of potential users who'll have to be weaned off AOL the hard way if we're ever to get them over on Linux...
That makes absolutely no sense whatsoever...
