If you are on a university campus this morning...take a look around; it's no big suprise. Even more so, sit in on some general credit classes...or hell, *simple* college math courses. That's not to say those on higher levels aren't there, but damn, it just seems as though there is a huge influx of...just well, morons. Graduating too many highschoolers thinking they are headed for 13th grade. Sad really....we have so much potential to do better, but we can't get the fucking congress to fund education to the top of the list. We'll get our paybacks soon enough:(
Don't bitch and moan. This is wonderful for independant artists and those listeners that want to make sure where an mp3 came from. Personally i will encourage those recording friends of mine to use this...it's not to keep you from copying/sharing, rather to guarantee quality and authenticity.
Might just be me, but damn, don't you think this has raised the interested of our three letter entities? i mean, damn that is just some serious computing and indexing power on cheap, "disposable" hardware...with a filesystem that can keep track of that many machines? If i headed one of such entities, i'd sure want to know more about it!
i've moved to streaming only 24/7 at work and home from
places such as DigitallyImported and SomaFM (kickass). i've wondered how
it would work out to start recording the streams and just keeping them.
P2P is not something that i really even use anymore. As for the
legality of streamripping, which i think is a very, poorly chosen term, how can it be illegal to keep
something that is coming into your home anyway? If i'm not re-broadcasting it, it should never be illegal.
Slashdotters are notorious for extending comparisons and metaphors to unbelievable lengths in order to:
a) prove they are "correct"
b) prove someone else is "incorrect"
c) bring the discussion around to something they understand and can talk about. You know the ol' number_of_people_able_to_discuss_subject being inversely proportional to amount_of_knowledge_required_to_participate_in_dis cussion
"... I can't imagine making it a film camera really has much more in the way of security for the integrity of the image.."
You have no idea what Photoshop can do have you? And no, i don't mean piecing together little pictures and having fun. Photoshop in the right hands can create a "photo" that will blow your mind and remove any doubt that film is *much* more secure....ever tried to change a negative? Pretty fucking hard since it's already dev'd...prints are another issue though.
"I just completed a three day training course based on this book. Every example just worked fine. The explanations are great but you do need the "Samba-3 Howto and Reference Guide" for detailed background information...."
That's funny, i just completed a google search for your "comment" here and gues what i found?
" Pardon my ignorance, but what is it exactly that MySQL is good at that Postgresql isn't at least equal or better at?"
Completely amazing that no one has *adequately* answered you on this question. i see responses of people whining that "you are not everyone" - yeah, not shit, genius. Or, "by god the package that i wanted to use needed mySQL" - nice. Way to *not* answer the question asked, fella. You didn't ask why people *chose* mySQL, rather what it does *better* than postgreSQL.
Once again, Slashdotters have missed the point entirely, correcly answered the question *not* asked and generally been useless except reminding you that you are not everyone...like, maybe you didn't already know that or something.
Seriously people, buck the fuck up and answer this question:
What is it (exactly) that mySQL does that is better, faster, or more stable than postgreSQL?
Leave your little app-requirements and need-it-for-legacy whinings out of it. Answer the question.
Please, for the love of fuck and people that you don't want to die, DO NOT put shit like that as a title. Half-wit, uber-13373, i'm-in-a-muthafuckin-rush-and-am-cooler-and-more-i mportant-than-the-world morons will read that and use whatever phone they happen to have on hand as the plane is in the last seconds of landing run in instruments only weather.
"... 6 GB/s downloads...but still only 128kb/s uploads....."
Heh, and you **STILL** will have them tell you: "Yes sir, it's up to X times faster than the Pentagon's network.....um, no sir, i can't guarantee any speed, but it *is* up to X times faster than the Pentagon's network.....what do you mean 'upload cap', sir?....oh no sir, it's up to X times faster than....."
Call two months later and get a tech that tells you: "Hell yeah we cap that ass...wtf are we running here a charity?"
Speeds may change, but the lies will remain the same.
Check out Access Grid for at least one reason that we may end up needing all of that pipline. Imagine for a second if you will everyone having a personal AG node...you can pump out 5-6MB/s without *doing* much of anything. Our campus bandwidth (which is Internet2 enabled) would be shot with less than 20 people. Imagine what we'd need if all 15,000 needed 5-6MB/s all the time?
Sounds far fetched, but then again a great many things sound "far fetched" when considered before their coming.
We'll need pipelines that big and bigger...just you wait!
Yep, i agree. Will someone please address this issue? i know we live in a time when a law suit is both a legit way to "right a wrong" and a way to intimidate, hush, or exact financial ruin upon someone.
How long will MS keep paying what looks to be hush money to make problems go away before someone notices that they are not chaging?
That is, of course, only one issue...i'm worried about what nberardi is worried about: at what point will legit suits against MS get tossed out because it looks/smells like another "let's hit MS's deep pockets" suit?

Database?
Are you kidding?
The new WinFS is a database there, sparky. So yes, "filesystem" is what i'll call this implementation by google...get over yourself.

Phones of brokers are ringing off the hook: SELL!!!SELL!!
Seriously, glad i don't own any Diebold at all!
What about Freenode? Anything said about that?
It'll be Kirk and Co. in their teen years and played by ub3rhot 23-27yr olds that "look" teenaged.
godbless, i hope they don't fuck this up and make it some heap marketed at the same crew Skulls 1 though what? 7, 8?
*sigh* please don't ruin it!!!
Perhaps.
This is quite similar. Like exact....from 1998. 'tard.
How to run it:
Plug it in. Turn it on. Bam, OSX mopping that ass up with easy-to-use goodness. Go ahead mod me down, you'll change your mind once you use OSX.

heh. gotta love 'em.
Seriously, can someone tell me why this is needed/wanted? (Besides the ub3r factor.)

This comment by you ALSO is on Amazon.com HERE....under another name.
You are a liar, congrats. Get lost, son.

heh, i'm not sure what that is, but i'll try anything once! O_o
God, i need a drink.
Well, thank f**ck they let me put fuck in my domain name! ;)

Nice.
Sounds great.
Now for the question that determines whether or not i choose to believe you: why XUL over others?
Please explain.

Here's your answer:
Internet 2
If you are wondering, "hrm, am *i* on intarwebs 2?"...most likely, no, but they have a tool to check for you, just nab it and try.
We use it heavily on campus and are quite active in the Access Grid. Great stuff.
