Actually, I wasn't stealing music or movies - maybe what I was doing wasn't exactly 100% legal, but... I was downloading some episodes of something I taped off the TV. The tape was completely stuffed when I went to watch it, though. As for music... every mp3, m4a and ogg on my computer, I own the CD for. So there.
Is it actually legal to download a copy of something you taped or not? In Australia it could be an issue, but what about in the States?
I live in Australia, and I woke up this morning to find that my connection speed was shocking. About 1000ms ping to local sites. Roughly 1 out of 2 packets dropping.
Amazingly enough, I quit aMule and everything came good again instantly. Equally amazingly enough, all the downloads which I had queued and were going fine last night had disappeared.
I don't actually think it's really linked (especially since we're not exactly talking about emule networks, are we?), but it's certainly odd.
When I first read that comment, I thought cool, independent LiveCDs... but the bootstrap procedure is still architecture-dependant. Whatever program does the on-the-fly compiling, it will need to be architecture-specific.

Damn it, I can't think of anything funny to say. I'm all April Fools'ed out.
Just to come to my own defence...

To be honest, I LIKE the delay when I have to reboot. It gives me time to have a pee, stretch my legs, have a drink...
Eventually we're going to spend 24 hours a day staring at the screens because there'll be no excuse at all for leaving the screen.

Yeah, spending that much money on an iPod clone only to find it made my fully-figured woman slower would be a pain in the butt... I paid good money for that doll, too.
