Transmission will allow you to set the upload limit to 0.0.
I have to use that limit on my connection due to a 20 Gb/mo quota and it does exactly what it says. My total uploaded bytes at the end of each download is always 0.
I hope they manage to fix the issues currently affecting users running the game in OpenGL mode (most wine users.)
My wife and I are currently trying to beta test WotLK on our systems at home with wine, but many areas, upon entering, completely white out the screen. Running the game in Direct3D mode will fix the issue, but at a severe performance penalty. The parts of the game that do have working graphics seem to be quite buggy as well. I don't really think two months will be enough time to straigten out all the bugs, so it will be interesting to see how things proceed from here.
Same here. I have a Buffalo router and the only time I've ever reset the thing was after flashing it with the Tomato firmware.
Great unit, except they no longer seem to be distributing the units due to CSIRO's patent litigation ( http://www.patentlyo.com/patent/2007/06/nonpracticing-e.html ). Its a shame really.
I think if companies are expecting any kind of useful results from these hacking contests, they're going to have to pony up some serious incentives to draw the serious hackers. An xbox as a prize is just laughable.
If you suspect them of messing with your DNS resolution, then just use alternate DNS servers. Or better yet, just run your own. You're not required to use Rogers' DNS servers just because you have access through them.
Isn't this quite a long swim? Even if he goes from whereever he is to Iceland to Newfoundland? I seem to recall people having trouble swimming the English channel (23 miles, iirc). I think it's commonplace now, but it seems to me this is a signficantly longer trip.
If he does decide to swim to Newfoundland, I hope he doesn't decide to swim into the
harbor here in St. John's, being the most easterly harbor and all..
It would be a real shame if he swam all this way just to get sick from E.coli and possibly die.
The biggest difference for me is having the search in the same text box as the URL. The fact that firefox has its input for google in a separate text box has essential made it complete and utterly useless to me. I just like to hit ctrl-t, type what I want to search for, and go... no mouse action required.
With everything other than the basic browser stripped away in my compile, mozilla runs about as fast as firefox anyways:)
I can pick up a spindle of 100 CDs for $35 at a local shop. At 35 cents per CD, I could really care less if theres a levy included in that price or not... its still a whole lot cheaper than buying floppies!
If the government tries to do away with the levy and opens the door to RIAA style lawsuits, I know quite a few people who will be quite upset about it. Nobody that I know buys CDs anymore... this isn't 1992. Personally I havn't bought a CD since sometime before 1996, and I certainly don't intend to anytime soon. Why pay $20 for something that I'm perfectly within my rights to get for 35 cents. Chances are that I would probably get bored of a CD within a month anyways and put it away somewhere never to be seen again.
If someone has a problem with the levy CDRs, chose a different medium for your data purposes and shut up whining. Last I heard floppy disks and external hard drives were not levied. If the couple cents you have to pay per CD are really having such an effect on people's wallets, I think they have bigger concerns than a couple cents extra per CD.
65 trillion flops?
Too bad Kerry beat them to it..

And if you're a teen in Canada, join the Air Cadets program and get free pilot training/licensing. Now in my 20s I really really wish I had done this, it would be so cool.
I was in Air Cadets and was one of the lucky few selected to get both my glider licence and my private pilot licence. It was an excellent program. I had both licences by the time I was 17 (I could fly before I could drive), and not only did it not cost me a cent to get the licences, they paid me a training bonus while I was on course.
The concept of the general population taking to the skies frightens me. There are way too many people on the roads today who I think are accidents waiting to happen and should have to take some kind of mandatory driver retraining. I think I would opt to walk to my destination rather than be within 2 miles of them in the sky. If/when flying cars do become a reality, it better be as close to 100% computer controlled as is realistically possible.
Furthermore, your argument falls apart when you consider that small towns in Canada, such as Fort McMurray in Alberta (and many towns even smaller than that) have had broadband for years now (since 1997, in Fort McMurray's case) while many major cities in the U.S. still don't have half-decent broadband penetration.
This is an excellent point to be brought up. My hometown in Newfoundland with a population of about 8000 has had DSL service since around 1999, and its not located near anything remotely close to what I would call a population dense area. Its not the blazing fast DSL they have in Asia (standard 1.5M down, 768K up), but it sure beats the hell out of dialup.
If that backwater town can get DSL coverage, there should be no excuse for any other rural area to not be covered.
Personally, I'm glad to see this happening. This will be an excellent example of how the iPod has significant uses which do not involve pirating of their music. I think this would be a good strategy for just about anyone who is being singled out by the recording industry for aiding piracy. It would certainly make it much harder to show that something is being used exclusively for piracy when there are large institutions publicly declaring their use of that technology in a perfectly legit way.

Ahh.. finally someone else who takes the same approach to installations as me. I've been called a crackhead on numerous occaisons for taking this approach to 'package management', but I totally agree with you that it makes it pleasure to upgrade individual components (escpecially when the software being updated is something you havn't touched in over a year and you aren't even sure which files it originally installed).
Now if only I could get my friends who use RedHat/Mandrake to see things from my point of view..
Because with all the nonsense lawsuits these days, you would probably get sued for starting said petition.
Or worse yet, someone holding a patent on filing petitions would crawl out of the woodwork, and demand $699 from everyone who signs.

I'm so sick of this. New SCO/Caldera != Old SCO/Tarantella/Santa Cruz. Why is it that the current SCO is able to keep giving the impression that they are a different company?

That is of course assuming the product wasn't named after the white tiger :)

An understandable translation of the parent post would also be appreciated.

Screw walmart..

Newfoundland is where its at, because we can buy beer at any corner store/gas station/etc.
Why make a trip across town when you just need to go down the street
Then go out and find that triple breasted woman from total recall! Thats what I would do anyways..

Someone alert Monsanto! The Columbian government is obviously infringing on their patents by allowing this plant to exist on their lands.
Just imagine all the lost revenues.
