  1. Re:Once again... on Shut Down Metallica, Not Napster · · Score: 1

    Which, of course, is not the same thing at all. If you lend a book or give the book away you no longer have the physical item and instead have transferred possession of it to someone else. If you make a mp3 and give it to someone else, you still have the original item and have just made a new copy to give away. That is the key difference.

    There is nothing in current copyright law (that I'm aware of) to prevent the transfer of the original physical item from one owner to another new owner. However, the law covers the copying of the item (and the distribution thereof) and this is violated by the distribution of mp3's created from copyrighted material.

    All in all, it's a huge difference from your glib comment.

    Exactly. I'm a huge New York Jets fan (pro football) and a big-time New York Rangers fan (pro hockey). I gave up hope of actually being able to play those sports a while ago, but I enjoy watching them on a totally different level.
    The strategies involved in the games are interesting intellectual excercises with football being on the same level (for me anyway) as a good old-fashioned war-game.

    You're wrong. Servlet supports been in there for some time as a module. It's available at this site. It works fairly well, despite Java running like a dog under Linux.

    There's even a JSP site out there. I just can't be bothered right now to find it. I'm sure someone else will.

    Ok, you got me there. But my answer to your question still stands.

    Do you compile all of your code with, at least, gcc -pedantic -ansi -Wall?
    Actually, I do. It makes porting stuff easier and you never know when that quick hack will become the core of a larger system.
