I'd have to disagree with you on this. Truth is artists are like us, we need money to live, while true some artists have very fat wallets, some dont. If we Public domain music then there wont be incentive to make music.
On another note, I rather pay a subscription fee for a year that might cost around a hundred dollars and download to my hearts content then have the authorities knock at my door.
I also like how they pointed out a government appointed fee on the subscription, however, it is one that can be abused because most politicians are corrupt and will take money to increase the cost then it'll be roughly like paying 20 dollars for a cd again. What needs to be done in that case is to weigh the cost of making cds and movies by a committee then gauge the price based on a nice profit (Its something like 5 cents a cd for them to pay to get a cd made). Right now if they were to make cds a reasonable price like say 7 dollars then a lot of people would start buying again.
Yeah, but I am a success story for what games can do. I became a nerd because of games! Now I operate a quarter of a billion dollars in hardware and I'm a guru at work! All started with a FreeBSD box and Quake!
Too many people are looking to blame others then to accept responsiblity for their own actions. Games dont make people violent, it is their nature to be violent. I mean hell I grew up with violent cartoons, watching violent films, and even in high school I played Quake like a religion, I have not killed anyone.
Although I wish I did have a rocket launcher or the grappling hook from CTF.
The ping on a station wagon sucks and don't even get me started on the routes...
I wonder what, in that situation, would constitute a packet loss, would that be defects in the hard drives from hitting speed bumps on the road too fast? Would it be taking a wrong turn? Or an unexpected pit stop because of the burrito you had at lunch?
First of all, when downloading, you have the benefit of instantly recieving the file that you need, as opposed to waiting at least a day for your shipment to arrive.
The average home user still uses a 56k modem, I dont see how it would be faster to transfer a gig on a 56k then priority overnight (much less then 160 gigs).
Secondly, remember that bandwidth is probably cheaper than postage. Shipping a carton with a few hard disks and proper insulation would cost at least $30 to overnight it.
Depends on how you ship and what you ship and the connection the person has.
Really, the title of the article comes upon the conclusion way too quickily. You must consider much bandwidth the sender and the reciever have. If both have a several gigabit OC line, then perhaps uploading it would be faster.
Not all companies can afford an OC line thus shipping would be cheaper.
FreeBSD stable hasn't been out for at-least 6 months! I can tell you are lying, and as well expect you to lie in the rest of your post! As for having all that you ever need, people still say the same thing about running DOS4 and Windows 3.1 on their 80286/4MHz computers.
Dude, you really do not get it. BSD Current would be in comparison to Linux Kernel 2.5, which has been in development for quite sometime. What? you expect that when they make a version that they just throw it out there into the market like Microsoft and say "Most stable ever version"!?
Anyone that uses Debian doesn't need it uninstalled--case in point. Tell me, Troll, why did you say you uninstalled Debian in the first place? What's the point of trying to use software and then say you have the same thing on freeBSD you want to use? Did you know that freeBSD needs Linux emulation because freeBSD can't allure developers to its operating system when it is inferior to Linux? This is a model trend in operating systems...emulate your superiors.
Uh reason being that "Linux" developers write specifically for the GNU/Linux operating system. There was a comment post to another bsd article about how BSD programmers dont program specifically to BSD, but GNU/Linux programmers write specifically for GNU/Linux and thats why BSD needs an emulator, for all the system calls that are not POSIX standard.
This is sooo-old news. You know, Linux companies stopped listing packages and ports because an everage end-user assumes all the software they find at freshmeat.net and sourceforge.net will be default installed. I can't speak any exact numbers, but I'll say that a modern Linux distro includes over 27,000 programs; obviously so because Linux is always three steps^H 3x better than freeBSD. Linux has more software, does not want to emulate the dirtyness of the freeBSD, and Linux is much faster than freeBSD as a previous poster points out.
So I'm to assume that better means, more then likely to be hacked? Hell I still get redhat errata's like twice a week for redhat 9. FreeBSD is faster if you consider the point that you have to compile for your system as opposed to using RPMS built on another system that might not have use of additional features of your computer (Thats why there are i386, i486, i586, and i686 arch rpms). Besides I like not having 27,000 different crap installed that I might never use.
If the manpages were no good, how would you install freeBSD? As an example of the superiority of Linux, manpages are no longer installed because Linux is up-front easy to use. Nobody neads information; they just login to bash and exec or startx whatever program they want (TAB TAB), or opt to have X/KDE or X/Gnome startup on boot. Networking configuration and Movie watching in Linux needs no discussion; it is easy. You need to describe all the recent talents the freeBSD leached off Linux. Linux isn't like that. Comparing Linux and freeBSD with a woman of herpes, everyone assumes Linux has herpes while freeBSD fucks you in the ass and later tells you that it had herpes after it fucked you in the ass.
That is so wrong, Linux still has man pages, some of them say to use info command to find out more information. However, linux is poorly documented then all of the BSD distros out there. I also take it that since you use X that you do not know any other commands then startx? And whatever happened between you and the drunken sailor at the bar should not taken out on BSD. BSD wasnt there to do that to you.
This is your preference. You want an old 15+ years operating system instead of Debian Linux? That's like walking by a whorehouse of barely nude/legal 17.99 year-old bleached-blonde biker bimbos and prefering the 64+ year-old freshly retired/hammered seasoned seniorita citizens in the whorehouse down the road up-next to the erupting volanoe. Believe me, stick with the barely nude/legal 17.99 year-old bleached-blonde bike
You know, this was originally comparing a "BSD is dead" troll with religion fanatics claiming the earth is only 6,000 years old:P
Both dont have proof but rather are using interpretations of something that was written down that can be taken other ways.
It sadens me while also makes me laugh that someone can think that something is dead without having substantial proof to back it up. I suggest to understand what I mean, go read the trolls on a bsd news story post. They point to netcraft (which doesnt prove their point), they refer to a psychic, and say that the small user base of BSD can be counted on newsgroups (which I use BSD, but I guess I dont because I'm not on newsgroups).
Uh I think you need to read a bit more. If you were to search you'd find out that recently (as in the past 20 years) the Pope stated that Darwin was right. I say recent because the catholic religion has existed for 2,000 years and 10 years barely dents past time thinking the earth is only 6,000 years old or there abouts.
>"Blessed are they that mourn the death of *BSD: for they shall be comforted with an ultradense Linux server from VA Linux, now sold by California Digital Corporation.
Any religious leader stating that would make me lose faith in their god for choosing an idiot to proclaim that BSD is dead. Then again the catholic religion suggested that the earth only existed for 6,000 years. I guess there is a line, in both situations, between provable fact and opinion.

Honestly, I'd like to see the linux community buy out SCO and force the people behind the lawsuits into a contract where they get paid below min wage and have to clean the toilets.
SCO should just drop their case, otherwise their revenue will disappear completely (Ha, like they had any to begin with).

They will make a PC version instead of just an Arcade version. Outrun was fun but not when you had to keep feeding quarters in.
Yeah, but what will she say after you are forced to install that is suppose to prevent that.
"Uhh Honey, I swear, its a new hijacking software...I must study the site to see who created this software..."
If I remember they could have just used a bunch of the BSD drivers and wouldnt have to worry about the GPL.
Seriously, can we go back to using TV as a scapegoat for the results of bad parenting? It's not like there's anything good on.
Watch the women networks. Their purpose is to promote how guys are usually killers, rapist, wife beaters, or pansies.

In other news, sales of Vice City are up 3%.
In other news, sales of Postal 2 rise 25%.

Of course playing Quake would be out of the question I would think
Damn and I used to think having a 400ms ping was bad.
Well now that they have that new fast TCP, that might change.
the BBS I worked for used to ship out tapes archives of the file libraries. Used to take hours to store upto 160 megs of files.
I give it a week after that when a Linux or NetBSD port is made to it.

I take it you run Linux for tokenring support too?
I might give it another shot. However, if I do not have a lightsaber then I want a blaster. Not some cheap imitation of a lightsaber :P
It looks nice, but the key mappings are hard to learn, and you get a blaster in the tutorial but then its replaced with a sword (Not a lightsaber).
I liked the part in the tutorial when you are using the blaster you can run away but shoot over your shoulder which looked cool.
Maybe I just need to play it more.
I shall not dignify that with a response.
Some how I feel like you're bordering on the Matrix :P
