Speaking of what's rumored to be shown at the upcoming Macworld, these pictures of a possible new iHome seem to be circulating the net:

Maybe you guys should actually try it before spouting off. The latest version is excellent, and the company offers impressive support for their customers and has an amazing relationship with their open beta test program.
I love it when people completely knock a product but then disqualify themselves by saying "This product sucks, but then again I haven't tried any of the recent versions which have completely revamped the product into a stellar performer." Next time, just lay off that reply button ok?
Both Filerush.com and 3dgamers.com use BitTorrent for legal torrent downloads of game demos and videos. Filerush.com (sorry for tooting my own horn) allows people to submit legal files of any kind, and we'll add our high bandwidth seeds.
Epson has had this type of archival ink available for at least 6 months, as I bought one and the output is spectacular. I'm not sure why this is story is newsworthy.
The problem is that it doesn't tell the usually naive user at the time that it's doing it. It just does it in the background. Cablvision severely penalizes users who upload more than a few hours a day with painful bandwidth capping, reducing your upstream bandwidth by a 10x fold decrease. Apps like Dijjer operating in the background, moving around stuff that the user isn't aware of could have potentially damaging consequences for the user. Same goes for many other cable ISPs who penalize their customers with hefty fines if they go over their small monthly allotments.
it's not nearly that hard. The bigger.edu's invest in a packeteer router which sees the bittorrent or other p2p packets after inspection, and either bandwidth limits them or drops them entirely.
Yeah but it was proved last week that Dijjer keeps files transfering through your machine that you never intended to have happen. This deceitful and a nightmare for network admins.
Was that meant to be sarcastic? Just the other day they announced that BitTorrent, the P2P app/protocol that gives far more control to the user than any other P2P app out there, holds 35% of all internet traffic. You can have your freenet which constantly shares random data bits, even ones you're not directly interested in, and I'm all for it but only when appropriate. Everyone in a city, all using 5% of their upload capacity at all times because some app is sharing without their knowledge ends up flooding the upsteam for their main provider and then everybody loses with higher monthly rates and further capped upload rates. It already happened when Kazaa first hit the net, before it didn't have the ability to completely shut off sharing. The whole Net slowed down and providers were forced to take drastic measures. We don't need a repeat.
What proof do you have of this? Can you post it here? The greatest thing about Coral and bit torrent, is that you get in, you get what you want, you get out. No unwanted junk, and once you close your browser or client, there's never any strings attached or other file transfers going on. People generally like to be in full control and not have things going on behind their back.
Possibly, but referer checking has never been an exact science and often denies legitimate users. Apache's own documentation recommends against using referer based serving conditions in a production environment.
Which is a true benefit, but Coral still suffers from the idea that the user knows what the original server url is because it's part of the new coral url. The user must never know what the original http server url is, because it'll always get passed to non-believers and get summarily hosed.
The other problem is that with bit torrent, there's full accountability of how many downloads there were of a file etc.. If you ever want to be taken seriously by the file creators, you need to be able to tell them how popular their files are, and at what rate, what user base... bit torrent helps with these things. These others don't.
He should be using Acquisition for OS X. It's the coolest Limewire app out there with full iTunes integration and never slows down your machine. He'll never look back.
"No "Tracker" necessary, works with virtually any URL
This is a big one, Dijjer will work with almost any direct URL, the content publisher doesn't need to lift a finger - they may not even realise that people are using Dijjer to save their bandwidth costs!
As the that guy who runs filerush, I'm always looking to move to whatever will keep the files free flowing with zero hassle. The problem is that this method just shot itself in the foot. So you're saying that I have to serve my 350 meg new game demo on my regular http server and Dijjer users will P2P it without my knowledge. That's great.. but what about the other million users who have no idea about Dijjer, and just hammered my download and therefore my site in extinction because I can't tell who's who? Now nobody gets the file.
I agree, but the biggest problem with waste is that it's so rarely updated. The last downloadable update was put out almost 6 months ago. The file browsing interface is very clunky and the instant messenger feature cuts off all messages over around 100-150 characters without warning you. I'd be all over grouper if like you said, they didn't require you to register with their service first.. Gee.. here's your totally private network that no one but you guys have access to, but oh, hey, we hold all the keys which we'd hand over to the government or RIAA if they asked for it. Ummm no.
Well it's only faster by a little bit and I'm running the thing off a 600mhz P3 with a firewire card in there. This was a good while before USB2 was available. Since most external drives these days do both standards, you could switch between them whenever you needed. It all depends on what kind of linux driver implementation you can get your hands on.
Well, you can't do it via software raid because all of each drive is consumed for the raid. I have a small machine with a smallish hard drive for boot, and then all the firewire ones hanging off it outside on the desk. You'd also need a machine that has a bios capable of botting of firewire which some news ones do.
Been doing this with 5 Maxtor Firewire 250gig drives for a good while, and regular ide drives for years before that. It's always been very stable and has had no problems with drives going bad as long as you replaced them quickly. I moved to firewire though, because it was much easier to see which drive went bad out of the set, and you could hot swap them.
I came back from the recent digitallife show with pictures of said RZR: http://www.aixgaming.com/gallery/digital_life_2004/aaz and I really loved it. I was saddened by the 30+ great looking Motorola phones however as they were all GSM and TDMA and none worked with my current Verizon service. Seeing as my co-worker's new Cingular phone is the only one out of the group's (Sprint/Verizon) phones to work in our basement datacenter, I may have to give them a try and pick up one of these snazzy models while I'm at it.

Yahoo has an "on the set" video available for those who don't feel like waiting: http://movies.yahoo.com/movies/feature/fantasticfo ur.html
Get this, it rocks. It's a wireless keyboard and mouse that has both mac and PC keys so you can KVM across both platforms with no problems. I've had one for about 2 weeks and am doing this with no hassles. http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/products/details /US/EN,CRID=2162,CONTENTID=6831

$161 in after market trading you say? (giggles like a little school girl upon realizing that my google shares is now worth double within a month)
There's a torrent for the final weekly update video that was just put out, covering the final weeks of development and release to manufacturing at the game studio, here: http://www.filerush.com/torrents/weeklyupdate_hire s-10-11-04.wmv.torrent
I'm not sure how you can honestly compare sharing files over the local controlled LAN, with sharing your files to the untold billions of the world.
