Would you sit down, learn a new language and go through the huge listing of source code?
No, but I'm certain with a patch that gets any attention, there would be several people that already have.
In the end, it is a question of trust. You must choose to either trust the (idealistically) infinite community of programmers or the (insert company here) development team?
If RIAA is able to get the piracy back down to that level then they'll back off.
Just like they backed off after they shutdown Napster? They'll back off untill the next popular thing comes around. Question is, who will get there first: will we come out with a fast, distributed, encrypted, and safe p2p network, or will consumers begin to be willing to pay $0.99 to be able to download a song in seconds?
Why not move the project to freenet? They can develop and distribute it anonymously there, and with the lastest builds, it has become quite bearable (especially the popular sites - like the one with all the playboy centerfolds)...
yeah, i just had a medical done... a toatal of maybe 20 minutes of work, urine sample, eye exam, bloof pressure, etc.
it cost my insurance company $250...
reliable or not, she's just stating facts... Bush has cut funding to a lot of programs which he has praised... you really can't justify an attack on such a fact by an assault on the person who noticed it...
Just like that tax cut he promised!!
The ones that he passed in the middle of soaring deffecits? Any economics 101 student will tell you how smart that is...
Just like the prescription drug benefit he promised!!!
Same idea... spending, spending, spending... borrow and spend... reminds me of what Argentina was doing, didn't turn out too well for them, though...
Just like that War on Terrorism!!!
Killing somewhere between 8,000 and 10,000 Iraqis, raising anti-U.S. sentiments to unbelievable heights (I wish there were a way to measure it...), and tying up the US in a lengthy occupation that will probably end up another failure.
As was said, all hat no saddle. He sais he does the things he does, but terrorist threat is greater now than it was ever before, the tax cuts are going to hurt the economy more than anything else he could have done, and if you went out and researched anything beyond what Bush tells you, you'd realize how unbelievably full of shit he is.
Yes, but there are a lot of factors that make Mars a much more likely target for a permanent settlement. the lack of water on the moon is just one deterrent from building a colony there.
Well, to establish a permanent moon base, they'll have to do things a little like the way they did on the USS Enterprise. They will have to recycle.
Having abundant supplies of water that dosen't need to be recycled is also very important for a settlement (i.e. for rocket fuel in the form of liquid hydrogen and oxygen).
There will never be a permanent settlement on the moon. It's pretty well known by now that there is not enough water there to sustain any kind of colony of any sort (that ice cap turned out to be way too thin).
I definately agree. I am also a student (from NJ), and I don't know of anyone (except me) who shares (compared to dozens of people who did before the lawsuits). Quite sad, but people are afraid of being sued, although, statistically the chances of that happening are pretty low (you're more likely to get hit by a car and die, etc. etc.)
Scare tactics, but what can you do...
Meanwhile, here we sit, reading Slashdot and doing nothing. What good is knowing about all of this and be powerless to do anything about it?;-)
I can't say I agree. It is rather well known that writing letters to the right people (governors, senators, whomever) is an influence on what happens. Statistics show that every letter that a political figure gets is supposed to represent the opinions of about 10,000 more people that haven't voiced it.... so voice your opinions!
What would be nice would be a set of bluetooth headphones so that a wire from my pocket to my ear wasn't necessary.
yeah, I would really like to be the first to own those tiny droplet headphones, except WIRELESS!
that would OWN sooo much.
Dartmouth just fell off my list of colleges to apply to. Thanks for helping me not waste my time applying and possibly making the mistake of actually going there.
Slashdot Mirror
this seems to be pretty common. newest drivers, like any kind of software, may take a little while to become fully stable.
yes, support them by going to a concert and buying a shirt, this will give the music makers as much $ as buying about 30 CD's
- phone/fax tapping
- worms, viruses, etc. reporting back documents
any other ideas?Would you sit down, learn a new language and go through the huge listing of source code?

here's the torrents
and why are some of the spaceships still rotating as if they have an older form of artificial gravity?

of course! you're right. sorry. Greenspan is wrong
too.
So is George Soros, he sais sorry too.
NOT
but of course, you know all, including my major (economics), so please forgive the world's dillusions

Obviously the moon is much closer.

Having abundant supplies of water that dosen't need to be recycled is also very important for a settlement (i.e. for rocket fuel in the form of liquid hydrogen and oxygen).
water would be required not only for drinking, but for many fundemental functions of a colony (we would need to bring a lot of water).
back in march they thought there was lots of water on the moon, but new data shows that this is very unlikely.
There will never be a permanent settlement on the moon. It's pretty well known by now that there is not enough water there to sustain any kind of colony of any sort (that ice cap turned out to be way too thin).

I still find it amazing that people who put so much into lerning about computers also have the immaturity to damage them.
With great power comes great responsibility: be it spiderman, karate, or coding.
SHELLOIL?
the headphones have their own batteries silly :-p

Maybe they are trying to make their competition seem larger than it it, that way they have less worries of being split up by the government...
I got in trouble for bullying when I told a kid I had a trojan on his computer and had more access to it than he did (I was bsing) :)
