Just out of interest, does that mean you could invite over someone who you didn't like, invite them indoors and then just kill them? Because that seems a little worrying.
I'm going to second this. HD2's big high res screen combined with AlReader is now my preferred ebook reader.
Sure it doesnt have an eInk screen but with a nice dark grey background and just off-white font colour, it gives me zero eye-strain. Fonts and colours are fully configurable so use what works for you.
I know, because we only use TPB for Linux distros, right?
You're a pirate and you steal movies, music, programs, and games.
At least fucking admit to it.
No he's not a pirate and no he doesn't steal yada yada.
He may be a copyright infringer, and he may be infringing on the copyright of movies, music, programs and games. There's a difference, despite what Big Money would say / like you to believe. Maybe that should be admitted, because its closer to the truth than your rhetoric.
My original 485DX33 box had the old 'turbo' button on the front to switch between 8 and 33 Mhz. The thing would never boot if it was set to 33Mhz, always froze after POST, but once booted in 8Mhz 'mode', you could happily press that button and feel that 33Mhz power blowing your hair...
"Maybe, maybe not. The number of computers you're downloading from bears no relevance. I could be downloading at a very slow rate but be uploading at a much higher rate." Nope, that's impossible. If you're uploading at a faster rate than you're downloading, you would be uploading data you have not yet downloaded. I guess it would be possible to download and upload at nearly the same amount, but it would be unlikely. Especially considering most ISPs upload rates are significantly lower than their download rates and the fact that you're downloading from multiple sources and are only uploading from one. No it's not impossible. You are misunderstanding something here. I can easily upload faster than i download simply by uploading the same part of the file many times to different people. How can i have ratios of greater than 1.0 on files I'm downloading if this is not possible?
Also the upload/download speed of your connection has no relevance. You are clearly talking about ADSL which almost always has a faster download than upload speed (the A stand for Asynchonous, Hurrah!), but my Bitorrent client doesn not use all my bandwidth. I often set my upload speed faster than my download speed on private trackers where i wish to improve (or at least maintain) my ratio.
When you download from bittorrent, you're immediately sharing. Not necessarily. I can leech without uploading at all, but we digress...
However, since you're downloading from many computers you're downloading faster than you're uploading. Maybe, maybe not. The number of computers you're downloading from bears no relevance. I could be downloading at a very slow rate but be uploading at a much higher rate. Remember i can upload the same data many times, it doesn't matter that im downloading at a slower rate.
Combined with the fact that you cannot share what you do not have, true enough....
when the download is complete, you're necessarily going to have shared less than what you've downloaded. No. I could have shared 99% of the song to each of 10 People if my upload speed was set higher than my download speed. So ive download 4Mb for example, but uploaded something just under 40Mb
And because you're sharing with numerous people, that random non-sequential data is going to become even less recognizable as a song because it was spread out to different computers. No, all the numerous people have 99% of the song data each in my example. Maybe im the only seed now, or one of just a couple of seeds. Maybe most of these other downloaders are leechers and arent sharing an data themselves, so the result is most of that uploaded data is from me, or from me and one or two other seeds. Also those non-sequential blocks of data are assembled back into the song (or 99% of it in my case).
Let's take a real world example, Let's not.
Look, I think the guy who was arguing with you was being a bit of an ass and I also have no view on what consitutes 'making available'. However your understanding of Bittorrent is wrong. Heres an example from me. I share a song. Its available in 512Kb blocks. You download one 512Kb block from me. I think that constitutes 32 seconds of an mp3 encoded at 128kbps, which would certainly be enough to recognise a song assuming you has some tool that would allow you to play back the partial file.
Hypothetical example: Charlie and Denise (fictitious names of the "Alice and Bob" variety) both have computers.
OK... so... why not just use "Alice and Bob"? Geez. More names I have to remember. Alice and Bob have a full schedule these days doing encryption and key distribution examples. Also their rates are very high.
Yes but this sort of stereotyping happens for all UK based stories, French based stories etc etc. Really you just have to ignore it. If you think Slashdot is bad, you better not visit Fark.
It does get tiresome but dumb people like repeating the same dumb pre-conceptions.
Yeah you must be right, I am sure the researchers have no idea what their talking about and came up with their ideas whilst throwing back beers at the pub in Amesbury. Ah, I see we have met the same archaeologists.
You best check that your BIOS isn't set to use IDE compatibility mode for talking to the SATA drives. I know my new ASUS M2A-VM HDMI board was set to use IDE compatibility mode as factory default.
Windows install will recognize them when they are set to IDE compatibility, but you wont get any of the benefits of SATA - the speed and NCQ. If you set the BIOS to not use the SATA compatibility mode then I don't think Windows install will recognize them, SP2 or not.
Well they were my experiences anyway. I ended up having to slipstream the SATA drivers in using nlite as a previous poster mentioned. Its very easy if you need to do it.
My bigger problem is that the Ghost book disk doesn't support SATA either, so i can backup but not restore. There seem to be some solutions for building custom bootable ghost disks but I haven't got around to that yet.

Phew... well at least he didn't take a pop at Firefly
i don't have Facebook either but have found photos of me among my Facebooking friends....

I agree, they should break it down into broad categories
Email
Instant Messaging clients
Linux ISOs
Pron
Lolcats
WoW
Other

Does it make me shallow that I found this post profound and fascinating?
they can borrow mine. I never use it.
I read your comment before reading your title and assumed you meant your knob.

Never did work out what the problem was.

I think you mean the UK (or Great Britain, which consists of England, Wales, Scotland and N. Ireland).
You've got it the wrong way around.
Great Britain consists of England, Scotland and Wales. The United Kingdon consists of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

"Faith" is just the possesive form of the word superstition. It makes it sound more legitimate.
Checking one of my dictionaries I see no definition saying faith is a possessive form of superstition. Neither does another one I have.
Falcon You have to much faith in your dictionaries.Just which sides of the fences are you on mister?
This is not a troll. Idiot mods.
