Besides that, it visits the forums as often as many of the regulars do. It's FAR more aggressive than googlebot.
And that would be why it got itself banned from my hosts. I had a similar situation - large images. About 5 gb worth before I noticed. Not a big deal, and I wouldn't mind if a PERSON downloaded all my images, but.. There's only 1 freaking gb of images there. FIVE TIMES?!?!
*swears off into the distance*
[OTOH... googlebot has sometimes eaten me alive.. but at least it only eats me once, unlike this one, which eats me, shits me out, eats the shitted-out-me again,... ad infinium].
Like with MP3 players - if it doens't work the way it was advertised to work, I'm much more prone to break the damn thing and THEN return it - just because I don't want to pay 15% because I was lied to about the capabilities of the player.

Is a VB app or a "great-tool.sh" that contains "rm -rf ~/" more complex? Think about it. As least on Unix, if you're a normal user, the "rm -rf/" bit doesn't hose your system.
As always people, if you want to shoot yourself in the foot, you're free to.
What kind of Microsoft apologist argument is that?!
You're saying that because a product already exists, we shouldn't make a better one. Well damn, we already had the abacus, why the hell make a calculator or computer?
Identical pieces of software? What?! Only one of them is a web browser - the one that conforms to standards.
Saaaay, you're not management, are you? Remind me not to invest in your company.

Nowadays?! It has always been this way, and it will always be this way. These are the dynamics of a lot of intelligent, strong willed people working together, albeit in a loose an relatively disconnected manner.
Which is not nearly true anymore as XP remains perfectly stable for weeks on end.
Ah, you and I must be running different versions. I have to multiple times, daily. It's not nessecarily the OS itself causing the crash, but for the last time: an application SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO BRING THE SYSTEM DOWN.
"Space coorperation is one of the few cards the US has left to play against China's authoritarianizm and human rights abuses. They are in the WTO but practice slave labor. They are belligerent to Taiwan. They prop up a monster in North Korea.
The US has nothing to gain technologically by cooperating. Indeed, the risks of transfering technology that can be put to military purposes is high."
That's why we haven't "welcomed them." [Of course, in a program that has 16 members as nations, I see this complaint of unwelcome from us as nothing more than propoganda - the usual from a nation that brutally supresses it's own people.]
> But of course religion can't do any such thing. It only says it can, which is a different matter.
Ah, I think the original poster meant that religion can do this in an individuals perception, which, to that individual, can be more real than, well, reality. [How else can you explain, say, Utah or Texas? <g>]
For example: Daoism. I am a complete atheist*, but I enjoy daoism because it makes me feel good - not that it's based in any way on subjective reality, I like it because it makes me perceive things in a manner more acceptable to my world view.
Oh yeah, I forgot I'm talking about religion.. *waves goodbye to his karma*
[*I'm not sure of the proper term for what I believe - I believe nothing, no heaven, no hell, no consequence beyond human invention. Just the cessation of existance upon death.

Are you actually expecting the xxAA's to embrace people like you who blatantly viloate copyright law? How then do you expect them to react?
I'm expecting them to behave in a legal and moral manner.
With people like you out there, they don't have to make a case to congress; you're doing it for them.
Whoops, there went your credibility.
Want free shit? I don't listen to most of the shit I have - I have it solely for the purpose of giving it away. I also previously owned a very large CD collection [sold]. No, I don't mind at all paying for what I get. For example, I've got around 200 cds from various non-RIAA signed artists. Money/greed is not an issue. [Incidentally, I spend alot here: http://magnatunes.com/]
By your logic, we shouldn't keep anything secret from the government, either, because that only encourages them to draft freedom-repealing laws.
[Deciding not to pirate and] hoping the RIAA/MPAA stop misbehaving is the height of folly. They will continue to behave as they always have, irregardless of reality.
The point is that the laws are bad; bad laws shall be casually disobeyed.

MS doesn't need that? It'd keep people like me from screaming for softie blood.
At least, I'd be a lot less irritated with thier operating systems if I could (by default...) ssh in and remove spyware/crapware, for example

The intent of that statement is to imply that "good citizens" should not be suspicious of centralized power.
Saying one thing is good necessititates that the opposite is bad.

Now who's the troll? Me, talking about the article, or you, commenting about the youth of an account? Not to mention the newness of your account.
Also, if you look at my comments thus far, not one troll rating.

Of course.. At some point very soon, I'm going to have to start my own farm for food, and a slave labor workship for socks.
Slave labor? Whoooops, how'd that slip out?
Now let's see who mods me down for using the word "slave," which is obviously in and of itself offensive.
