I'm still waiting for you to get to the part where P2P solves the problem of artists needing money.
How much money do you think artists really make through the RIAA as opposed to touring, selling schwag, etc? I see selling records being used more as a tool to get paying fans in seats at the show, which is how it all started. Only an industry as twisted as the recording industry to mutate a simple duplication process into such a marketing and legal monster.
I've been using Nero for years now and trying to burn anything with more than a few hundred files will bring it to it's knees. (Most other tasks work great for me, personally)
This is a known issue and no matter how much you like Nero despite its faults will not fix those faults.
I wrote an IRC bot back on EFnet in 1992 that included a secure login mechanism and responded to commands in "public" or in private messages based on different security levels. At the time I wrote it, the only other bot was LogicBot (on #initgame I think) which did not have those features.
I've given up on it years and years ago, but I do see it archived in at least one place file dated 13-Dec-2000 (that version is at least 4 years older, but evidently when it was placed there).
Wouldn't this qualify as prior art? IRC private messages are definitely the first form of "Instant Messaging" widely available on the Internet.
If anyone is serious about pursuing this, I hereby release the code to the public domain as an act to shit on the heads of the IP Bastards.
Until then, I'll stick with my 1000/100 wired LAN.
Do you have some huge reel of CAT5 hooked to the back of your car that spools out to the airport or Starbucks? For those of us that can work on the road, wifi has been a godsend...
Imagine a horizontal trackstick. You roll the stick to go up and down and slide it to go sideways. Add a couple of mouse buttons and place the whole contraption below the keyboard.
...and between the legs? Somehow I believe this is related to one-handed websurfing?
I'd like to see you slipstream a few service packs on the original CD. Oh wait, that means making copies? After which the older version (which gets a new install infected after 69ms with a net connection) is pretty much pointless and gets buried in a box.
Yeah, that's really rare since I went through that last week.
It seems to be that this UTSA is not a law made by Congress (of the Federal sense) but rather by the States. The First Amendment does not place a restriction on the States.
I didn't pre-order, but I got a cluepon for a free copy when I bought a new video card. And yes, the free game did weigh in with my decision to purchase since I loved the original.
It was only after my purchase did I see the dragging timelines, the keylog haxor, and wound up buying a newer video card by the time the damn game came out.
I did keep the cluepon, and am in fact glad I did because the game is brilliant imho. I paid "nothing" and gained something I believe to be of value, so the DRM isn't really on the top of my bitch list.
I think we need to develop cell phones that can cook, clean, and drive my car. For $25. Oh, and I guess they need to be able to send and receive phone calls.
I had the pleasure of meeting or knowing several of the editors and the wear and tear on their enthusiam was evident as the torch was passed. Today it seems hard to find like-minded individuals willing to take up the cause in the ether-sea of a me-too generation.
Freedom of Speech merely states that the US Government won't intervene (censor) you. It does not guarantee that you will be held harmless and unaccountable for what you say.
They have a service to let you tie it into your corporate email (MS Exchange et al), updating in real time (marked read, delete, etc) and over a secured connection.
And, is there anything else that just works like the Blackberry?

For a moment there I parsed that as "LIFE". Being married as well, I know that cannot possibly be the case...

Nope, but good idea. Looking in that tar the files are dated Feb 26, 1993 and I know that version is about two years after I started on it.

Explaination's easy:
It's an Brockian Ultra-Cricket shot gone awry, of course!
Any Fins here wish to comment?

Your obvious troll aside, I 'bought' this game almost a full year before it was released when Steam wasn't even to a rolling boil yet.
But then we can send Jeff Goldblum up to the spaceship in a JATO-rocket strapped Lexus to do in the baddies!
Perhaps they opened it up in hopes that we will improve it for them?
Talk about being married to your cellphone...
Unfortunately I think most mods will home in on the word Netcraft and miss the real humor :(

Moog now, for great Blind Justice !!
In my X setup, I see 101-key, 102-key, etc, but where's the 61-key option?
You skip over all the comments as well as the article?
