    ooooh, you called me a brat. hey, retarded fuck, ever check out distributed solutions? freenet? exeem? how long has gnutella been around? Brats won the war a long time ago.

    your original argument was flawed, as can be seen in my original reply. You now make another flawed argument. Enabling anyone to make a copy? A link is a piece of text with the location of the file on SOMEONE ELSE's server. Yes, telling someone enables them to make a copy. Making a copy is illegal, like eating live babies. Telling someone where they sell live babies and parsley is not. when the speech is criminal Dog, you're a fucking idiot.

    I must say I concur with other replies to this. you are a fucking idiot. people like you don't have an understanding of wrong and right. people like you always have to have the last word - that's why you replied to all child posts - even if you had nothing to say.

    as far as your analogy - you go too far. Linking to an illegal file is, like another poster said, ONLY telling people where stolen property is.

    Now, if someone asks me for directions to the crackhouse - I can legally give them directions. If someone asks me where to buy stolen goods - I can legally tell them where to buy copies of DVDs. If an old man in a tan trench coat asks me where the girlscouts meet - I can legally tell him. I can even tell an angry man what bus to take to the gun store.

    I can, in fact, say whatever the fuck I want. This is called freedom of speech, and it's what everyone here is talking about, you retarded fuck. The post is not talking about helping people carry away stolen goods, you retarded fuck. The post is only talking about freedom of speech. you retarded fuck.

    thanks for illustrating the parent's point so well, while advertising your own retard-ed-ness. I work for my money in the US. About a third of my paycheck goes to shit I may or may not agree with.
    In this capitalist society unemployment payments come from corporate taxes, not from individuals like in the fuckhole where you live. In this capitalist society workers comp is something you get from corporations, not other people. Maternity leave comes from corporations, not other people who didn't get you pregnant (so why should they pay you their money). Where ever the fuck you live, you likely pay about half of your taxes to a governing body that spends your hard-earned money for you. I bet on a lot of shit you don't agree with.
    While pure capitalism would indeed result in a smaller middle class, the more control I have over how my money is spent the happier I am.
    Every good thing you mention still exists with capitalism. That being said, capitalism sucks and makes it easy for the common man to get bullied by corporations. In socialism, however, you get bullied more by the government. Both piss me the fuck off. I'm looking for a used oil rig off the coast of England - know anyone who's got one?

    Let me guess, you're an MBA; you sir, should not comment on shit you know nothing about, even though that's likely your job. would you also say that having all your client-server communication done over the internet is having all your eggs in 1 basket? Yes, it's one set of storage, but the SAN has multiple fabrics, each logical disk having not a single point of failure. A sample path would be a protected raid device on the back, presented down two FAs, each connected to a separate fabric, each fabric connected to a separate HBA.

    wtf are you talking about - plaigarism? what does plaigarism have to do w/ distributing someone else's content? The parent is not talking about infringing on the rights of LokiTorrent, he was comparing LokiTorrent to the idiot slashdot poster. Try to follow this, then book a cruise to the stupid island: LokiTorrent links to illegal content, the poster gives the location of the LokiTorrent links, hence the poster is violating copyrights for the video games and movies much like LokiTorrent.

  13. Re:Doesn't stop them... on Federal Appeals Court Sides With VoIP Providers · · Score: 1

    first, I'd like to mention that I am in no way a proponent of phone companies or work for one.

    now, you said bad service is 'legendary'. I can't seem to remember any commonplace stereotypes about phone companies. I do point out that it is a common assumption in our society that the cable guy is never there when he said he'd be, having had the experience a few times myself. This commonplace stereotype is even the plot of an entire Sienfield episode

    again, as far as phone companies go, I don't have anything that's a commonplace archetype like with the cable people. As it seems you work for a cable company and have a skewed image of the world, I thought I'd tell you the way it really looks from a 3rd party point of view.

    I know cable and phone ISPs have been dissing each other lately, but when you say things like that, it just makes me laugh, like in the case of the tarpit calling the pot black.

  16. Re:Try it with NFS... on Shootout: 'rm -Rf /' vs. 'Format C:' · · Score: 1

    good point. not funny, informative. that's the problem w/ most UNIX admins: they don't know how to write code.

    order of operations for rm -f *
    1: the shell resolves * into individual filenames
    2: the command "rm" "-f" "[file1]" "[file2]" ...
    getopts, used to parse the switches, is in the rm command. it sees a file named "-r" as a switch, not a file. it's not just the rm command though. it's every UNIX command.
    create a file called "-l", and do ls *. you'll get "ls -l", and the file "-l" will be missing. in ksh/zsh (not bash). this always breaks people's scripts.

    a safe example in ksh/zsh:
    x="-u2"
    print "$x" hello #wrong. will only output "hello"
    print -- "$x hello #correct. will output "-u2 hello"

    "--" tells getopts that switches are over and arguments are starting.
    so the proper command should always have "--", whatever one you're running. in this case it would be
    rf -f -- *

  17. this is actually not a good thing on Open Source Ingres Swings At Oracle, SQL Server · · Score: 1

    looks solid, but this may not be the best move to take market share away from Oracle and SQL Server. Major competition is already presented with postgres and mysql. Splitting up whatever open-source rdbms presence in the corporate world today between these 3 makes each look less widely adopted.

    that's my 10 cents.

  18. Cygwin Threading problem on Cygwin in a Production Environment? · · Score: 5, Informative

    Under Windows XP only, cygwin dll has a problem with locking threads after they have terminated.

    If you spawn a bunch of processes (such as in a common loop), each of those will use up at least 1 TID. Any call to create new threads made through the cygwin dll makes that TID non-reusable in windows, and will eventually crash your box.

    Shell Script that crashes your box:
    integer i=70000
    while ((i -= 1)) ;do
    echo hello\\nworld | cat|cat|cat|grep h >&- #spawn some processes
    done
