that's it, teach them to learn, then they can se what fuck ups humans are and go against us, novel idea! now if they put restrictions in that learning process intsead of trying to prove they too can be god and make something like a human. I mean, look at all of our faults and problems, and anything we create will have the same issue. though if they're all microsoft powered, we dont have to worry because they'll blue screen of death when they try to crush someone's head in. that or they'll force microsoft upon us all. eerily enough, you can prolly assume the worst and it'll prolly happen, this shit isnt sci-fi anymore, it's becoming a reality, and I think we should take precautions if we want to make them learn. like, if they try to attack humans or other robots, they'll be stopped dead in their tracks, not to mention there needs to be a regulation that will prevent AI robots from being used in wars, etc..
knowing politics and people, the worst will happen. hell, a scenario like the matrix might not be that far out if we keep wanting to make machines that will be better than us in every way.
hmm, in that case sounds more like rich yuppies who obviously have rid of all common sense for money.. I used to live in a rich city and all the people there were oblivious to just about everything, they get in a protective state of mind where they're in a little bubble of wealth, then they start believeing rumors.. and that's cell phone microwave radiation at close range.. not like the kids have to sit with wifi transmitters attached to their heads.
well, the app that does this basically removest he browser itself, but doesnt remove the handler stuff so explorere will still work, but the hardcore way is to completely replace explorer.exe and totally remove all traces of IE.
actually, it's something wrong with devfs, doesnt detect the hard drive partitions at all. or the devices. it worked ebfore, and one day, it just stopped. dunno why. oh and asking those people is impossible because they troll you for not being l33t like they are.
But I can find more than that on a free p2p network!
seriously, there's a lot more music out there than 500,000 tracks.. I'm betting they only serve the mainstream music, which leaves people who have interest in different styles of uncommon music in the cold, hence why the service will probably fail, because of those rare or odd tracks that cant be found on there, and face it, people dont want to pay... also, is it 99 cents per play? if that's the case, then they're gonna die out even quicker than before. that's like sending money every time your cd loops a song. whatever. if I pay money, I better be able to keep the song. Also, if the do let you keep the song, you know how they can prevent illegal distribution? extra tag info that isnt editable and is encrypted that's added in when the user downloads the song, so they know where it came from.. looking in the best interests that way. but still, there's even glitches to that.. sound recorders and file cache. either record the song from the applet, or record the song when you download it (presuming you can)
it's not failsafe.. but hey, you had that coming in the new technology age. either charge decent fees for cd's (aka, less than 30 dollars for a cd) or go bankrupt is what I say. and it's been proven when you sell something good at a low cost, but not too low, you end up making more money, because you get more consumers than before. if they had done that before p2p... maybe they wouldnt be in this mess, have they ever thought that this whole mess is their fault?
living near power lines will expose you to nuclear radiation from the nuclear power plants!
your neighbor has aids and you'll get them by him shaking your hand!
gotta love the myths that stupid people create out of fear. I have yet to see a 6 year old with an oversized head from these wifi networks. it's not like it's a brand new type of radio signal, it's close to the same as living anywhere where you can pick up TV transmission and radio transmission. radio waves are all over, man made and natural that have existed for decades and millions of years. if they were harmful, we wouldnt be here. Gotta love the small town mentality.
A windows system can work without IE, I tore ie out of win98 on vmware and the system survived, used mozilla ad the default browser.. it's kinda decent now.
I'm planning on creating my own custom system using parts of slackware and other stuff. gonna use the 2.6 kernel when it becomes stable I'm making a custom sys because most distros piss me off.. and dont mention LFS, I have a lfs system and it wont boot right for some damn reason.. when it mounts drives it craps out.
anyways, on topic, yeah, this is a very good sign for me, now I can get ready to create a custom system
how important is that feature? it's nice to know that someone isnt ignoring you, but just typing al ong message, I say if it takes them 20 minutes to type a message, you know they're ignoring you. I'm pissed due to the fact that microsoft claims something else as their invention (just like how IE is their "invention") but really, is it that important? let them wallow in their own shit. we still have IRC and other ways to communicate.
I saw the way to override this months ago, the music companies forget that there is more than 1 operating system in existance.. so, really, this is their fault. any unix os can read these cd's.. dunno about macs.. but they made drm technology only for one os..technology that is easily overridden.. mainstream music is overrated anyways.. why bother with it?
well, I'm looking at it from SCO's viewpoint, they see everything as unix, and since BSD branched from unix in '75... sco could even say they own that. look at the reasoning they have lately. do you think they care about details? no.. if it's an operating system which was even remotely inspired by unix.. it's their property.
is that you can easily consider windows, dos, etc unix. Dos is a deriviative of unix, (a bad one) and dos begat windows. so technically, windows is unix deep down. Dont forget Xenix, a microsoft-based unix back in the 80's. and at the rate of nonsense sco's yammering at, they would be going after microsoft.. but they arent, why? because I bet that microsoft is backing this nonsense. ironically this starts just a linux starts getting some real muscle on it, and now microsoft is starting the DRM shit... it's too ironic to be coincidences... it's all working hand in hand. SCO could sue microsoft, but for some reason, they havent even made a move towards it. oh and they could slam apple next, since it uses NeXT and Darwin; which they'll more than likely do. Basically, SCO's bullying all of microsoft's competition right and left with very little regard for their own well being, which they probably have some nice cuts of fresh money waiting for them after doing all of this. However, all it'll do is get these companies pissed off, and they'll either start their own systems from scratch or fully back linux. (which would be nice) SCO's going to find themselves in the Corporation obituaries soon enough, so really, we need to stop bitching about their bullshit, I wouldnt be surprised if they were reading through all these comments for ideas on their next targets (aka other companies that use "unix" )
why not fix C and C++ instead of going on about it being buggy, etc.. fix what we current have, not make new implementations of it that require a mass change to use it, not to mention java is a ram whore.
anyways, I do like his idea on fixing common internet problems, however, a lot of that would be simple to fix, example, smtp has been a standard for decades, yet, it's one of the most exploitable protocols ever in existance, all is needed to be done is fix the mail protocol so it cant be so easily abused, (inet6 will help with this as well) whatever, I'm about to go back to bed.
is alienate microsoft from their bigger spenders, who want linux, but are forced to have a microsoft system and forced to pay the fees, not to mention this would hurt the motherboard makers as well who would have to pay royalty fees to microsoft to use the new award bios, they'd switch away quickly, and motherboard makers are big players in the industry might I add, hopefully, linux will have a bit more leverage and enough to banish microsoft to a few OEM's (dell, compaq, gateway namely) sad, really, the award bios has been on one of the best, but it's gonna get bastardized. it's going to be interesting to say the least, linux torvalds said linux is ready for anything like this. already has DRM compatibility. all someone has to do is dump the bios into a file and have at it, crack it, find out the "authentication" and voila, compatibility in the next linux kernel release. microsoft HEAVILY underestimates opensource.
actually, it would more than likely deter me from college itself, and go figure, it's a southern college, very reserved, strict, controlling, etc.
whatever, I say, get into a situation that will get you into a tech college and get you your training you need, that or attend a californian university.:P
sounds like a plan to track people down, all hail big brother, it could have noble uses, but also have uses (which are usually used) that will spy on people.
you dont want to ask for too much becuase if they already view you as some college kid, they'll say fuck you and take your code and start their own project, keeping it opensource, but making it much better, you're out of money and your project looks like shit compared to theirs (presumably) whatever, really. It depends on the situation, if they're gullible and desperate, ask for a nice hefty wage, if they want you for your project, you might want to be careful with that, becuase more than likely, after you bein work, they'll hire in other programmers that will slowly overshadow you and you'll get fired from the project. so, whatever, try not being too desperate yourself.

this s when someone creates a new internet-esque protocol.

for graphics in linux, I suggest gimp, gpaint, and imagemagick.
for sound, rezound, XmmS (somewhat), RhythmBox
for movies, Mplayer, ogle
for games, Q3A, frozen bubble, some emulators (as long as you own the actual games)
for chat, Xchat, gaim (both win 32 and linux)
so yeah.
