This *could* help the warez guys. And they could put a heavy load on the system. For instance: the new divx-blockbuster comes out. Gets ripped into pieces of 10 MB by a warez dude, he sends it to all his Gmail friends, in bcc. Then, his friends mail it to their friends. Guess it all depends on the speed the Gmail servers will provide. Before long, them terrabyte mailboxes will be stuffed with movies.
Another scenario would be joining up warez mailinglists, that distrubute the stuff. Reciving unwanted stuff is no prob, messages are kept on server and can be deleted without putting load on the users internet connection.
If you are reffering with 'sleeze bags' to the 'consultants' mentioned in the post I disagree.
You can consult buisnesses to do some adjustements that makes it easier for google spiders to spider your site. For instance : dropping frames, change your 'get'-url's to 'normal' urls, providing metadata, making sure your site gets linked a lot, providing text alternatives for grafic buttons etc...
Stuff that a good webdeveloper should implement, but there are a lot of bad webdevelopers/sites out there.
Why does this remind me of the infamous quote : "By the way if anyone here is in advertising or marketing... kill yourself" (Bill Hicks)
You can read the whole rant here.
In belgium you have Versatel DSL(dutch/french site). You have two formulas :
one that charges by the minute, for about 2.55 euro/hour (or about 2.55 dollars normally, but since it's value dropped 3.55 dollars)
You can also get the other account wich is 'unlimited for about 20 euro's but (and this is the catch)you get charged for every megabyte over 250mb/MONTH. This is limited to 10 euro's so your max bill will be 30 euro. But it's tsill not intersting since it's only Max. 512 Kbps downstream, Max. 256 Kbps upstream, so no good.
Furthermore belgium has a few operators who are pretty much used to high-traffic customers. Most of them clearly stipulate the amount of montly traffic in their contracts and advertising. Most of the DSL isp's have different accounts for different needs.
For instance, belgacom : offers a "ADSL go" account (with a montly total traffic of 10 GB) for 41 euro's and "ADSL plus" account (15 GB) for 45 euro's. with the "plus", you also get a extra upload speed of 256 kbps.
If you go over your maximun amount you get capped to the speed of a 56k6 modem. So you can still check your mail, even though it takes an hour to get it. No problem! Belgacom offers 'Volume packs' (really , I'm not making this up) which you can buy. One volumepack is 5 gigabytes extra traffic for just 5 euro's.
I recognise your isp's behavior from the cable provider I was with before. In 1998 I joined them, then we had 5 Mbit down 1 Mbit up. Nobody really bothered me (while I was using loads of traffic, running an FTP locally and having +40 Gigabytes/month). Later they started sending out letters, as you describe, threathening to disconnect me after the third. It hasn't come to that, since round the time ogf those letters came an upload cap of 256 Kbps for the entire network into effect. So I had to close the ftp anyway. Just before I was about to revieve the third letter, they changed their policy, capping everyone who goes over 10 gigabyte to phonemodem speed. The DSL lines were upgraded for 1 to 3 Mbit donwspeed so it was bigger competitor on the broadband market here, guess they got bored of losing paying customers.
Basicly you're right. Using clay would be the most 'natural' way to do it. Unforunately, if you want to do it in clay, you would have to find a way to digitse it. That means you need a 3d-scanner of some sort (here, here, here). Needless to say, these can be very expensive. Ofourse serious/. geeks would build it themselves. On the other hand if you want to stay with the clay option, go for stopmotion. It worked for Aardman!
That's what you get with that new business model of OSL-license. The lease expires and your customer has to make a decision wether to renew the lease or to go to the competition. It's not like in the days a staff decided that since the budget was tight, they'll do another year with their NT4 servers.
Now, it's pay or bug off.
I don't know wich operating system you use but I presume there will be some accessibility-software for it to accociate some keys of your keyboard with your mouse-keys.
In the pre-Internet days, Walker found himself telling people to mail him a tape, onto which he would copy the program and return it. He quickly tired of the laborious process: "It was really annoying and got me thinking on how best to distribute the game. That's when I thought about making it self-reproducing."
Seems like one of the first Peer-to-peer networks. It's has the same structure and goals.
Jeez, what is PHPnuke doing mentioned in this post? Phpnuke is "a news automated system specially designed to be used in Intranets and Internet. The Administrator has total control of his web site, registered users, and he will have in the hand a powerful assembly of tools to maintain an active and 100% interactive web site using databases."
So it isn't a wiki, it isn't a CMS, and it certainly isn't a blog. It's an open source project loosely based on the/. concept.
Bashing PHPnuke in this post sounds too stupid to be true, it's like bashing MySQL for not being a good word processor.
A nation gets the govournement it deserves. Americans decided to get all paranoid afther 9/11. Americans decided to go past nato and ivade Iraq.
Imagine the megaphone voice : "America is under matrial law, all civil liberties are suspended untill further notice". Americans do it to themself, everybody said, bush is a wimp. Now he's proving he isn't one. I guess a lot of americans are willing to give up their privacy, for the *illusion* of safety.
Coz' that's what it is, an illusion.
Ofcourse if you're paranoid like me, you driva a 1991 Fiat Fiorino, and you don't own a cellphone. Next on my whishlist are the neat rotating (and changing) licence plates like KIT used to have. And while we're at it , a bit of 'turbo boost'(mpeg-file)

So, what site is on http://www/..org ?
The servers will only take a hit when people try and download the file.
that's really what I meant, the download speed.

Must be the highest link-to-word-ratio I've seen in a long time.

1) Include a random text-file 2) compress the files again 3) ...
4) Profit !

You will find the commercial in realplayer, quicktime and mpeg for linux format here.
Yeps I heard Marcel Heymans(spokesperson IFPI) saying :
"When people buy a CD-player, they should make certain to buy a real cd-player."
I think Jeff Dechka will see his mailbox slashdotted bigtime.

I think a lot of kids wil be very happy with this information.

Or you could just surf behind a router...
So linux is no longer un-american eh? ;-)
Finally, I can have a go at it
Maybe the army has to recruit some more IT-personnel...
That explains it all!
