  1. Re:Why the negative slant? on RIAA To Sue Hundreds Of File Swappers · · Score: 1

    Yes you do! You don't have the right to download copyrighted music without permission of the copyright holder. I've legally downloaded plenty of coyprighted music without paying for it.

  2. Re:Regular Expressions on Mastering Regular Expressions · · Score: 1

    He obviously meant Curt is handing out loose money (i.e. spare change). So Curt is still a nice boy. You won't get rich, but hey, loose money!

  3. Re:The songwriter gets paid first on The Downward Spiral of Music Retailing · · Score: 1

    Songwriter gets 8 cents, recording artist gets 8 cents, distributor gets 9 cents. Or divide it some other way. Change the law if necessary; the entertainment industry seems to have no problem with that. How much does it cost to host an MP3 download anyway?

  4. Re:Drawing on the right side of the Brain on Your Brain May Have Amazing Powers · · Score: 1

    "Figure 1"? You mean this?

    What, only 195 days? No, it's actually 195 days since the uptime counter rolled over from 497 to 0. That's 692 days of continuous uptime. The machine is a Netpliance I-Opener converted to a diskless X terminal. I run Netscape among other things on it every day.

  6. Re:SMP? RCU? on SCO Amends Suit, Clarifies "Violations", Triples Damages · · Score: 1
    As others have already pointed out, 0.27 is the version of the Linux SMP FAQ, not of the kernel. I know for a fact that Linux SMP predates the SMP FAQ, because I posted the first draft of the SMP FAQ to the Linux SMP mailing list. :) According to the kernel change logs the very first SMP support was added in 1.3.31:
    early SMP support. This is very much "test at your own risk" stuff, and I haven't really verified that it compiles. You'd better contact Alan about this if you're interested. Alan Cox.
    That particular change log seems to be dated 1995-10-04.

    I don't know much about Unix, but I would guess that comercial Unixes had SMP support long before that, since SMP was available in "server" systems long before it was available in commodity PC motherboards, and in those days (1995) it was commodity PC hardware that drove Linux development.
