We could also wait until our local libraries get it, which is probably what I'll do. I wouldn't actually suggest that they get it, though; just wait for them to do it on their own.
So if you find out that your packets can't make the trip to their destination because some idiot in between has a router loop, can you contact them so they can fix it? What about if you're getting spam from a domain? Is there an easy way to find out who to email about it?
You do realize that not all CDs are produced by RIAA labels, right? You can still buy independent music (just make absolutely sure it's really independent, since big labels have bought a lot of them out).
That's really fucking convoluted. How about using a client that won't show what or how many files you're sharing?
And that's really fucking stupid. Nobody can download stuff from you if they don't know you have it. And they can't know you have it if you don't report it.
Clearly, what we need to do is have the P2P client do occasional searches for files in the user's shared directory. Then pick a *small* number of the least-shared files, and share them. The others won't be returned by searches. And the specific files shared would change as availability changes. (Probably want to take a look at demand as well.)
Much of SCO's argument hinges on the assumption that the reader will buy the idea that "UNIX" as a generic term is the same thing as "UNIX" the SCO-owned code base
Do they hold rights to the code though? I thought Novell said SCO only had rights to sub-license, and had no rights to the code itself.
They're pretty much worthless because there's always about 30 people just standing around on them, completely blocking the path for the few who realize that you're supposed to (gasp!) walk on them. It's actually faster to just walk down the corridors in the airport. Once again, human laziness gets in the way of a great concept. Oh, and they move too slowly as well.
That's because here in the U.S., most of the people who protest things are simply a bunch of spoiled rich brats who have never had to deal with anything tough in life. So they try to find meaning by throwing rocks through windows and screaming 'Fuck the man!' They're nothing but a bunch of immature punks.
Maybe the spiders can decide whether or not to add an extra "stickiness" protein to the silk as they extrude it, so they can make non-sticky support strands for their webs. That way they could walk around without getting themselves stuck---or maybe they have some weird foot-based non-stick thing.
Lack of education is part of the problem. For many users, however, it's not a lack of information but rather a lack of desire. In a way, Microsoft is simply giving customers what they want. Of course, Microsoft has fostered these desires to some degree as well, since DOS and Windows were single-user for such a long time and they've been shoving a high volume of poorly secured features into Outlook at an astonishing rate.
So what we're dealing with here is Free Market forces (which I'm generally in favor of). But I'm certainly not against educating users either.

Yes
And beer isn't really fit for human consumption, so we're good all the way around. :-)

Got a brand new Logitech wireless optical here and...it doesn't work :-(

Voila. Seriously, just because you guys are all perl or PHP bigots...
They probably do. But since they can't spell anything in the first place, they don't notice any problems.
Ah. I think I missed that installment. This thing gets harder to follow all the time. :-)

I'd say thanks and I honestly can't understand anyone saying anything else. I suppose we're just different people.
No same what?
Sounds like a plan. Can you replace the keyboard with a ouija?
Well, the ones in Asimov's books move a lot faster than that. I want to be able to go to Peoria on one!

My computer is chock full of molecules already and it's quite dependent on them for it's functionality.
Well she obviously kept going with what she was doing. So why stop playing? :-)

You say you found the ranch house. Did the ranch owner have anything to say about the fact that you almost got killed? :-)
It's Teflon. [TM]
Maybe not. But I could see a South Park episode about it. We had underpants gnomes, why not a spider union?

Yeah, I was just kidding around with ya.
