The way they advertised it here on my campus, you'd think you'd get expelled by just mentioning the words "sharing". Maybe even "fair use".

Ruckus Closes Down

Whole news item summary sounds like an Apple troll.
I disagree. If you've ever used Ruckus, you can't say you liked it. Most of iTunes is DRM-free now anyways. The only reason Ruckus got any popularity was because it was marketed to college campuses as a safe alternative to file sharing. Naturally, paranoid campuses (such as mine) promoted it heavily, trying to keep the RIAA off their backs.
Depends on which pointer you've used. I've tried the ones on dell laptops, and it takes about a half second to register any movement.
However, the ones on my thinkpads and my compaq armada (from '98) work like a dream. Just about everyone I know who had your same idea that a trackpoint is unusable used one of my thinkpads for about 10 minutes and suddenly hated touchpads. They thought it a marvel that they're so rare. Try playing a FPS with a trackpoint instead of a touchpad.
My home network has a very simple naming system.
Since I'm using the planets, its really easy to see what the 'purpose' of each machine is. Gas giants are servers, planets are desktops, moons are laptops, satelites are devices, and comets are various cruft. Oh, and subnetworks are galaxies:)
My main servers are Jupiter (huge compaq beast from '98), Neptune (a nice mythtv server), and Saturn (another mythtv server).
Laptops are Callisto, Charon, and Thebe.
My one desktop is Pluto.
Finally, my 'cruft' is my Wii SOHO, XBox Ares, HP scanner/printer Hubble, and my wireless subnet is called Andromeda. Its quite simple and makes sense to me.
You/do/ realize that the majority of congress has changed since then, right? A third of all senators and reps are up for reelection every 3 years, and we recently switched to a good-sized democratic majority in both houses.
Well...what about the monopoly that they have with that license over being the sole developer of any sports game? I'm suprised that people still buy those crappy games.
Actually, there is a method of sorts for deploying firefox.
At my school, we have Novell Zenworks on all the workstations. The installation of firefox was configured in a way that the tools menu was hidden via the userChrome.css. To keep preferences across the board, the whole school used one profile, stored in a read only directory on the server. So its relatively unhackable, but the computer lab students and I found a way out. Although for some reason, this hack prevents FF from starting up correctly upon reboot or logout.
Well, what do you mean by "Not supporting CSS2"? I myself define "Supporting" as wholesome devotion to making something work right. If they don't support it all, how can that be supporting the whole itself?
How can you get better at supporting something, if you either support everything to the fullest (FF in my experiances), or not supporting everything (IE)?
I'm using direcway internet from DirecTv, and the ping times aren't that noticable. But they are in the 1000's, so online gaming is out of the question.
Not really. Trackers could spread pretty fast on IRC. You could just use a tracker that they gave you to get stuff. That tracker could have an IP in it, that tells your friends IP. Then their IP has some sort of minilist of friend IPs that use it. It could theoretically connect every person on the internet.
It isn't always reliable, as obviously stated above. But then again, if you are such a geek to use this, would you even have a female relationship as such?

How about no.
Ever try Dragon Player? I think it is sufficiently no-nonsense for even the most ADD user.

The least they could do is give us an option.
You've got a perfect signature there, too. "This comment is ribbed for your pleasure".

Both. At least until we open the grave and observe him.
Still no cure for cancer.
Slow news day, eh?

Your signature implies otherwise....

Is that how the industry has outsourced again?
Does this look like a help forum?
C'mon. Click.
What extensions do you have?

Given the possiblility of drivers adding more power to the laser, the newest online craze will be "Online Lasic Surgery".
