You have hit the problem nail right on the head with ANY online app. I've seen too many sites/.ed just having a lot of people try to access a website, much less try to do any kind of "work" on said website. Nope, not ready for prime time if reliable access is needed at all times for business app's.
Ditto! Imagine all of the Wiley Coyote "type"/.er's out there with their Acme Tabletop Black Hole Generator (TM)- Half of them would be trying to hack it into a Stargate, the other half would be trying to install *NIX on a Beowolf cluster of them while BOTH halves would be trying to download pr0n in the background and the resulting packet collision on the network (you KNOW they would HAVE to network them!) would result in THE BIG BANG!
OH man, now we have to start all over again.
Wow! My hat's off to you. That has to be the MOST well crafted, commen sense(d?) comment I've read on/. about this topic....FROM EITHER side! No joking, I added you as a "friend" in/. pref's based soley on that comment. Well done! (takes off eye patch and parrot and starts rethinking the whole issue......)
I mostly agree with you (good argument that was well-stated), but what I see happening here is much more than a few ranting "pirates" trying to take control of Sweden. I see this more of an organised protest against current IP and DRM laws, in effect they are using a "big" megaphone to rally supporters and gain more widespread recognition for their ideas. I don't think they have a "snowball's chance in hell" of actually becoming a "player" in Sweden's politics, but by doing it this way there is a better chance that the Joe Sixpack will hear about this "IP and DRM issue" in a better light than: "oh, just another bunch of nutcases protesting sumthin' again." I applaud them for their actions, and hope they raise public awareness of the current patent laws quagmire we have gotten ourselves into.
"On second thought... maybe we need more bureaus to work on this so-called problem. The way things are going, we need more bureaucracy to slow down those who think they know what should be done."
Think of the children...someone with mod points PLEASE,PLEASE mod this as +5 insightful. LOL!, but how true it has become.
To over-simplfy it: the more air molecules in a given volume of " atmosphere", the more "interaction" between said "atmosphere" and aircraft. This is why ( correction:ONE of the reasons) NASA does not take into account aerodynamics in design of spacecraft, or even try to use propeller-driven craft in space (no "air" molecules to interact with).
1. Collect/harness all of the "hot air" blowing around on this site, combine with the heat/energy released from/.'ed servers, focus this combined heat/energy through nozzle (ie: rocket engine nozzle) aimed at correct direction on earth's equator= increased rpm's!
2. patent and DRM process.
3.?????
4. profit ?!?!
Right on!
Also, if people would actually check into this issue, the leader of Kazakhstan admitted that Cohen had the right to his opinion and website, but as the country's leader, he could not have this mis-representation of his people hosted on it's home domain (.kz) and that Mr. cohen would have to host his site elsewhere.
This is all old news anyhow.
I'm wondering what would stop the "terrorists" from using big industry CEO's, Congressional leaders, etc. names as an alias when traveling just to get these names on the list and cause disruption.
"Negroponte casts a wary eye on the potential grey market appeal of the machines, and is determined to make them so distinctive as a government-distributed, educational tool that taking one would 'be like stealing a post office truck."
How long after they are in the public's hands will it be before you can buy one alongside the "Rolex" watches for 30.00 or "Gucci" handbags for 5.00 on the street in say, Bangkok?
I agree. My first reaction after RTFA was to find this guy and drop-kick his scrotum up around his ears, then tie a square knot in it for good measure. This business model is so unethical, I can't hardly believe it's entirely legal. This is ubsurd and needs changed. This business model can only hurt innovation- at a time when too many new technologies/discoveries are at hand.
"... Future research in this topic is assumed to be finding a material that exists in a superfluid state at room temperature."
Yeah right. And headlines the same year:
1. Duke Nukem Forever released.
2. Bill Gates turns M$ open source.
3. Table-top cold fusion powerstations in production.
Can't wait, and will be anxiously holding my breath!
"...Dutch and Mauritian scientists..."
At first glance read that as..."Dutch and Martian scientists..." and thought WTF? Now it has lost most of it's appeal for me...nevermind.
I still have not even patched with any patches yet, and I have ran it for as long as 12 hrs. in one stretch with no problems/slowdowns.
Using athlon 1800 ( I think @1.4GhZ), 512 MB PC2100 RAM, nVidia 5200 SE 128 MB @ 8X AGP, 80 GB PATA 100 HDD, Win XP Pro SP2, with Avast Anti-virus and Spybot SD "teatimer" running in background.
I would suggest maybe checking msconfig to see what all services and start-up app's you have going- some of the default services can really bog a default install down quite a bit. I used to play UT 2004 and Painkiller on my P3 800 MhZ, 512 MB PC133 RAM, ATI 9200 128 MB @ 4X AGP, 120 GB PATA 133 HDD, same OS and difference was had to turn graphics to med (or custom to medium-low sort-of)and turn off AV and teatimer in background: played smooth.
No matter how often it happens, I still get an uncomfortable feeling every time I hear Goetse has ben/.ed-
Please make the images stop- think of the children!
Or in other words: "In soviet Russia, Goatse discovers Uranus!
Cannot stop the mental imagery!

I'm sorry, but every time I see this ( or similar) statement I cannot help thinking of Pinky and the Brain:
"...and tomorrow we take over the WORLD!"
Sir! I salute you! Really. That has to be the most well crafted comments I've read on this site. Thank you for that. I do not think any reasonable, intelligent person could effectively argue against your statements no matter "which side of (or on) the fence" their viewpoint was. Again, thank you for the pleasure reading your comment brought me.
No BS inteneded here... does that compromise MAC OS? Seriously, asking to know.
(disclaimer: my only MAC/APPLE experience was dusting off some older Apple II's as a custodian in a local Jr. High school- really!)
I understand the attacks to IE are serious to any Windows user due to IE being part of the OS (STUPID!!!), but does this threat carry over to IE ported to a MAC OS?
