  1. Re:Relatable on Napster Licenses "Acoustic Fingerprinting" · · Score: 1

    If the software analyses the actual acoustic qualities of the music, then suggests music with similar acoustic qualities, genres never enter into the equation. That's what makes this sort of technology so cool - you avoid human subjectivity. One man's punk is another man's third wave ska.

  2. Re:Comanche - GUI management of Apache & Samba on Webhosting Control Panels? · · Score: 1

    Actually, the editor said "absolutely no Linux experience". The poster didn't mention anything about the skill level of his users.

    Contact info for the school district here. Web response form here.

    The Mayan calendar ends on December 21 2012. *shrug*

  6. Re:Freezing Hard Drives on Return Of the Lost Server · · Score: 1

    If the head actually crashes, dropping it on a hard surface from a height of ~12" will sometimes free the head. If there hasn't been too much damage, you can still use the drive. Usually there are some bad sectors you have to contend with though. I had a drive crash last week and used this method successfully - now it's running like a bubblegum machine.

  7. Re:More Info... on Adam Hinkley's IP Hindsights · · Score: 1

    The big difference is that with a P2P architecture, the data is stored locally on each client machine, not centrally located on a server. From the leech's perspective, this makes little difference, but when issues like copyright infringement come into play, the physical data storage location, and becomes quite important. Also, if any server infrastructure is required at all, a significant portion of the overhead of a P2P system is off-loaded to the clients, while the server merely has to keep all of the peers in sync. Basically, it's a somewhat monolithic design vs. a more distributed design.
