I think the MPAA would have the same problem with torrent sites even if they provided lists without searches....they're still facilitating infringement of copyrighted works.
Image is important, true. But what use is the protocol if it has good image and blockage on major ISPs? I believe the answer should be to find a way to publicize legitimate uses of torrents, and increase its image (and hopefully have a side-effect of getting it un-blocked).
Do I believe that's what's going to happen? Not really. Some developer will open the floodgates by bypassing this countermeasure, and BT client development will become a race to see who can bypass more sophisticated methods of blocking torrents as they're developed.
I've seen bandwidth limits like that on lots of non-US ISPs (Britain, Germany, Australia, for instance). 800 kB/s would likely be about right for the highest tier accounts in US ISPs, though (in my limited experience).
Huh? They want sales as high as possible...no matter how much money they make, it's "obvious" that the companies could make more were users not participating in pirate networks.
"Imagine a world where food can be made in an inexpensive solar powered replicator but people still starve because the software used by these devices is "protected" by copyright and DRM. That's the argument for "Intellectual Property". If you're for IP then you're for the complete control over a work by the owner of that work.
So, what you're saying is "If you're for IP, then you're for the complete starvation of people."? ^_~
Nah, I just looked it up. PS/2 and USB mouse signals basically send as (Enhlish-ified) 'The mouse moved {this} far in {this} direction, and has {these} buttons pressed'. Basically, the mouse is processing the image and sending the computer just the movement data. Thus, the reason for clipping traces and re-wiring the thing.
I seem to remember 3d Studio Max 4 and 5 (the last 2 of 3ds I've used) were a great deal larger (like 20x larger)...and Blender's current feature set would compare well against those versions, I think. I may be wrong of course, I'm going completely by memory here...
The . isn't a decimal....for instance, 2.4.1 is a valid version number, as is 2.10.3, but 2.10.3 isn't the same as 2.1.3, see? At least, that's how many programs are versioned (mostly open source stuff, I suppose), where they don't worry quite as much about the software's marketing image.
You've got to admit, though....it's kinda goofy for them to show gaim on their front page, when there are already several very good encryption plugins for it already.
Obviously, the robots will first be given weapons to flatten the building holding said stairs, and much later, be given the ability to fly over them, bypassing stairs altogether! I've seen it....as in a dream....
So, you'd rather that M$ keeps putting out the same garbage they have in the past? The objective is to move people to a better operating system. I, for one, won't complain (Even if it's a Microsoft release that does it).
While I may not like many of their business practices, a gain in OS quality is a gain for everyone using a computer. Besides, you think users will flock to a new kernel architecture rather than rebel against other little changes to the os (anyone say "drm"?)
I've got a couple things to say: "Render unto Caesar what is Caesar's, and unto God what is God's". Christ himself said to follow the law and pay the proper taxes.
Also, serving your family is almost always serving God; it is loving another in the manner commanded of us, as is helping the community/nation.
Lastly, correct that we should never have anger towards God, but there are some things in life that you can't prepare for, and you just have to ride out the trials. They're "tests of belief", if it makes you feel better to call them that. Frankly, blanket statements like yours are what make Christians sound like unthinking, incoherent idiots.

Oh darn...I thought maybe you'd found the elusive 196MB DIMM....
Although it's more useful to get a weapon that traps someone in a box and puts them way up in the air...
Hmm, well I hardly think that he's in condition to complain, now is he?
No. We'll see Mike Myers in his MoonUnit Zappa.

Their sales going up to the point they want them?

I do believe that's what the article just proposed.

Johnny, eat your Steven. It's good for the gene pool....or not...
We're having some difficulties with our landing procedure. We may experience some slight turbulence and then... explode.
Nucular. It's pronounced nucular. ;-)
Bleh...Linux is ONLY useful on devices upon which it was never meant to run. Everyone knows that!
Yea...well, then we could all go to Japan, kill the robots, and tell the owners to go look for them!

Yay! For once, my sig fits in!

Well....at least the GP was right...there are still chess-players around!

I hardly think you have to worry about the brain wanting to do the grab-ass part! *wink, wink, nudge, nudge*
