Well I know - but when he bought the network service s for a year he most likely agreed to a contract, and they probably added "we can terminate this contract whenever we like...".
They did in mine, anyway.
Although a P2P application may not be illegal, the department providing your computing services has decided they don't want to allow you to use a P2P application on their network.
Although their reasoning may be questioned - it is their network, and you are probably going to just have to put up with it.
Actually at the time of the revolution in the United States British taxes were lower, in fact, were almost non-existent.
This is why the capitalist businessmen in the eastern states launched the Boston Tea Party and "No taxation without representation" - because they could not compete with better, cheaper British imports.
Thus began the current United States - capitalism without a real principle of fair competition.
It's a shame that although the design of the suitcase makes it pleasing to the eye, the website (Which I imagine did not take a year to design and construct) does not have a similar effect.
If they want to sell these things, I'd imagine a new slashdot proof server and nice website is in order:)
Does this mean Google is going to be sued for infringing copyright again?
Naughty Google, showing pictures of a sculpture which is in public. We must not have that, especially in a country that prides itself for being free.
Oh, no! Microsoft supported arguablly most popular and well-used languages on the planet in it's product line!
C and C++ give the developer total control and thus you can produce really efficient code. The byproduct is, if you are a human being, you will make mistakes, and since you have maximum control and flexibility with C and C++, these mistakes could be quite big mistakes since there is no lovely Common Language Runtime or Java Virtual Machine there to stop you.
That's not a flaw in.NET, thats just a fact. Microsoft supports multiple languages, but never forced anybody to use C or C++. In fact, they are more likely to want you to use C#
During the install, it was clearly marked that you could configure the system to let you play games offline, and all it required was for you to save your password.
I used to be a PHP fantatic, but then I learnt Java, it is by far the better language, in terms of design, in terms of the architecture beneath it and performance.
But by far the biggest reason why PHP doesn't scale is its raw basic types. Integers are at maximum 32-bit un-signed, that means when I was writing a simple file manager I couldn't handle files bigger than 4GB at all, and beyong 2GB PHP returned in-accurate results in terms of file sizes.
Objects in PHP have always been an after-thought, same with most basic types in PHP. Unlike Java that was built from the ground up, much of PHP's functionaltiy has been tacked on at a later date without refactoring the project.
PHP-5 does go some way to fix the problem, but it will never scale as well as Java does on any platform.
Perhaps the best solution is like Yahoo, take the best of both worlds. Have PHP at the front, taking care of the final output is fine, but having it as the engine of your application is not always the best solution, and it certainly isn't for enterprise situtations.
No, you still own the software and can re-license it as you wish, but the GPL license just means that users can modify the code and distribute it freely. It doesn't make it owned by all.
You are correct, GNU isn't about free speech, but also not Gay Sex, its about freedom to develop and know that your code will always remain your own, but you can work together with thousands of people about how to improve it. GNU is about creating an operating system that would be free, open and better than anything a corporation could create.
AMD and Apple should link up and create a mega-corporation to combat the Intel-Microsoft partnership and we'd have AMD Opteron-2's running MacOS-X.... Yay! 64-bit MacOS-X and x86 binary compatbility!!!!!
Apple should realise that how ever fast or powerful the G5 will be (yeah right), it needs to move over the dominant mainstream platform, that be x86. They should start making an x86 chip to open up the market more as well.
And of course port MacOS X over to Intel, at which point I will buy that and move to MacOS X for ever and ever amen.
Slashdot Mirror
Thats hardly helpful since that would require buying a whole new range of hardware - given that situation he described - that's not practical - is it?
/and/ Linux.
He needs to keep Windows

A Debian Server variant would indeed be good - with perhaps a pre-configured installer that sets up the most comonly used packages on a server.
;)
Of course, another open-source group could provide this alongside the Debian Project
Yes, and? I use a 32-bit platform, but that doesn't stop me using 64-bit numbers. Java supports them, so why can't PHP?
Sorry, I meant 32-bit signed integers.

Thats very very funny. However its very evil. Do the y have any idea who did this?
Looks like Microsoft are trying to make the evil RM services appear sweeter. Lets hope nobody falls for it.
Society would be 10 billion times better if money wasn't the driving force in our lives. And we know its true, cos of Star Trek :)

Of course PHP scales as well as Java. Don't listen to those who don't like PHP. End of story.

And they have succeeded.
powweb.com, the host of the afore mentioned site, seems to have nicely disabled the site within the past few minutes. I wonder why...
