wow... thanks.... this is my first story to get posted (out of three attempts)! i like to think i know something about this topic since i am trying to switch my Dell 300m to Linux, and not having to reboot whenever I need to use the internet.
if you were trying to get flamed then u did it. FUCK YOU! Don't fucking diss Romania! I was born there and I know more computer-related stuff then u'll ever know, u fucking idiot!
No, there is no BSOD. But there are kernel panic messages, so u might wanna look at those if u want some memories of Windows. Also, not all the OEM centrino driers work. The one linked to on the Linuxant website worked just fine on my Dell 300m, but the one on the Dell website caused problems. The "trial" gave me about a month-long licence, but I guess they'll figure something out by then, or maybe I'll make a new hotmail email account and get a new licence or something. Then again, that might not work, since I don't know of any way to chamge the MAC address of one of the Centrino mini-pci cards. Watever, i'll stop typing now because i feel like i'm going into a rant.
btw... its cool that they actually posted my story!!! yay!!!
dunno... probably because it's not the *original* layout/folder structure/etc. The one linked is supposed to help people avoid downloading 30mb. i'm not saying which one to use, but just providing an option.
btw, thanks for the good modeation, brought my karma up.
dunno, what's it to him when he spent a year and a half in jail. he'll surely sue the government i guarantee it.
hmmm.. what if lamo is also flasely charged. we'll see
why use something like napster when freenet alrady exists? of course, it is very slow right know,but instead of making their own new thing, why don't they help make freenet better and then use it as the basis of their network. dunno, just my two cents
cool, now I can keep all my pr0n, illegally downloaded movies, and music in one place. it would take big pipes to fill this tank, if you know what i'm saying
i still use a box from '93 that has a 400meg hd upgraded from 80megs,16mb of ram (upgraded from 4) and a 33mhz processor running at 66mhz turbo mode. i use it to play around with a really old redhat version i bought a while ago.
but, perhaps, while that machine has become outdated and rarely-used, the printer I bought with it (a HP LaserJet 4L) is now hooked up to a print server, serving maybe 20 clients. Great, great piece of equipment!
the thing is, until we know what EVERY SINGLE GENE does (i.e. finish mapping the genome in general), genetic doping or engineering is very dangerous. What if a seemingly desirable gene in fact is the gene for some type of rare genetic disease. In this scenario, if we insert this gene into all our kids, and assuming its recessive, they will be fine. But what about their children, what will happen to them? This is what will happen: all the children of our genetically altered children will die. This will be the crash of first world countries, the only countries able to afford such things, and a new era would start. We would do by and to ourselves more then even the most zealous terrorist can dream of. Why replace a system that's worked for thousands of years with our untried and unproven meddlings? I don't know why, but this reminds me of a book or something...
anyone tuned around their radio lately?
well if some of the stuff you can hear on the radio is considered music, then by all means random binary data should have as much of a chance or better at being considered music...
also think about this:
if they decide to define "music" as something created by humans, then where would something like electronic music stand, since that's created with a computer. also, what if mit's music synthesis program (it was posted on slashdot a while ago) releases a hit single? Can tha be considered music?
dunno

do they think that i'm gonna turn myself in and possible be closely watched etc. when I can just keep on sharing files with almost 0% chance of getting caught!?? heh! this is the funniest thing i've ever heard. i'm gonna take my chances and keep on sharing... (using PeerGuardian - you can never be too careful)...
What's the point of having bigger pipes? I remember readin that Comcast and a few other cable ISPs were enforcing bandwidth usage caps and kicking people from their network... I don't know, but seems to me that this just makes it easier for you to get kicked. For now, I'll stick with my trust DSL line...
wow! i just switched to t-mobile from cingular two days ago... what luck!
if this was some type of attack, then they sure as hell deserve. They never gave me rollover minutes, and charged my a lot for a bit of roaming. They got what they deserved!!! Burn, Cingular!!!!!
(this is not meant to be flamebait... well actually, i don't know)

it is from the original package of the mailing list archives ermm.. obtained ... from diebold. so, you have their website desginsers to blame for that.

Anyone remember when RMS tried to make Linus rename Linux to LiGNUx? Some food for thought...
