  1. Re:Err LImewire? on Kazaa Loses P2P Crown To Edonkey · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Limewire is a gnutella proctol client.
    People dont use limewire as a client specifically because of a number of adware/spyware related issues.
    ALthough why people dont use gnutella more I dont know.

    I must say I like your idea a whole hell of a lot better than what they are currently doing.
    Just so long as they make sure to include something along the lines of "in the public interest" in the crown corporations charter , I say full steem ahaead :-)

    International law is made up by treaties.
    Supposedly under the UN charter the rest of the world is to act as the international police force. So in theory after the US violated the UN charter all other nations should have rushed to the defense of IRAQ and ceased trading with the US.
    In reality that never happens, but to say there is no law simply because it isnt effectively enforced in certain situations is bull shit.

    On campus right now we have one worm which has infected about 10% of the resnet computers and spreads through open windows file shares .

    FRAUD is FRAUD whether because of the buyer or the merchant.

    The biggest reason: FRAUD
    Internet fraud rates are high, paypal factors that in to there fees charged ,but internet porn charge back rates are even higher.
    Charge backs cost paypal money and PayPal has abviously done some calculations and determined it is more profitable for them to focus on the areas with lower charge back rates.
    Do you understand now?

    Well , it sort of is. Right now (and I mean 12:32 EST 29/08/04) if you request a site which it hasnt allready cahced , like http://www.allabouttrivia.com it returns a nice little error page which says "Error 404 Not Found www.allabouttrivia.com: Resource temporarily unavailable Server CoralWebPrx/0.1 (See http://www.scs.cs.nyu.edu/coral/) at 169.229.50.12:8090 ".

  8. How is this different from a two processor system? on Dual Caches for Dual-core Chips · · Score: 0

    Reading this it sounds like the two cores will be seperate in terms of cahce and internal registers, so I'm wondering how this is differnt from two different processor (except of course the form factor and the higher speed internal bus between the two cores).

    Reading this story made me thing that the performing of the additional screaning on politicians wouldnt be such a bad idea.
    When politicians are above the law then they just wont care anymore, all politicians should be subject to the worse of the laws of which they pass (IE pass tapping without a warrent, your phone line gets tapped, require extra screening for certian people, get the extra screening your self , etc.) :-)

    Since you object so strongly with my sig I have temporarly disabled it. If I stop getting complaints by morrons who accuse me of trying to drive business to myself or something similar I will leave it as such. If it remains with people makeing wild accusations then I will put it back in anyways.

    I want you to know that I'm not trying to drive business towards my hosting company.
    The reason I'm doing this is because I have some extra space and bandwith on a server in a new DC and I am using the traffic from slashdot to tune the server (also I hopped people would enjoy the benefit of the mirrors , which based on my logs they are).

    I dont do this everytime , just most of the time (espcially when I havent heard of the domain before and I think they might crash&burn)
    As for no one wanting my webhosting, thats fine; I'm not here to push my webhosting; I actually simply have some spare space & bandwith which I figured I could put to use.
    And from the looks of the stats generated server side, I would say my mirrors have been usefull.
