Some people launder money through online poker games. Invite your buyer to a game and have them "lose" some money to you. Internet gambling companies are usually based in offshore banking havens, making it difficult for the authorities to scrutinize your transaction. (I'd never do this myself, of course.)
Except that doesn't really work that well. You get charged a rake in every single pot, and anyone can sit down at the table with you and win the pot from you. Kinda suck to have all those chips on the table and someone beat your hand. What are you going to say, "No, no those aren't out there for you? We're laundering money here, so beat it."
However, it is possible to transfer funds within the poker software from one player to another.
But in reality you could just bypass the whole poker room for the transaction and use http://www.neteller.com/. That's how you would likely get money into the site in the first place, and they do player to player transfer.
When you transfer funds between players in a poker room, most major sites flag your accounts to notice when you are playing at a table together to watch for collusion. And, yes, the major sites really DO watch for collusion.
IIRC, you could distribute the actual.torrent file via newsgroups but the problem is the actual tracker needs to reside on a web server whose address is provided via the text inside the torrent file.
Once the address of the tracker is shut down, the downloaded torrent file is rendered useless.
The concept of flooding a nntp feed with all the nodes relevant information would make spam look immaterial.
That's your problem - your upload was choking your download. Use a client like Shadow's Bittornado http://www.bittornado.com/ and throttle your upload speed.
I'm saying they started down the path of Dual Core when they were developing the Athlon 64. Jerry Sanders saw an opputunity with Intel ignoring the 64-bit consumer segment by going Itanium only, and thrust AMD's resources to add x86-64 to the k8 core.
So, think if Jerry had not added x86-64 and the intial plan which had the K8 be dual core with an integrated memory controller was realized on the the original launch date.
Intel would be even farther behind than they are now, and Intel's HyperThreading technology makes a lot more sense, doesn't it? Intel expected dual core from AMD in the first place, not x86-64. HT was thrown together as an answer but the need for a true multi-core solution was delayed by AMD dabble with 64-bit.
AMD is driving their future, I just think they stopped at the 64-bit rest stop a few exits too early.
Dual core shares a memory controller, whereas dual processors have seperate memory controllers.
AMD's Athlon 64 and Opterons have memory controllers on die, and were originally designed to be dual core. What this means is now two cores on die with one memory controller, communicating through a crossbar (think SGI) architechture.
On a side not, imagine where AMD would be if they scrapped 64-bit from the start and released the Athlon 64/Opteron as a dual core from the get go.
You think its a bad thing management realized how bad and unimaginative the game was going to be and they cancelled it?
Managements inability to cancel a doomed game gave us Outpost, X-Com Enforcer, Wipeout 3, Final Fantasy 8+ (including the movie), and Return to Zork.
Get a clue - some games should be left alone. Thank god no one has tackled Twinsen's Odyssey again.
Amazingly enough, Stephen King hated Kubrik's version of "The Shining". Ergo, we had that cinematic piece of tripe mini-series back in '97 staring that scoob from "Wings".
I nearly died laughing when I saw the animation illustrating that if you press on Darth's head, his light sabre lights up.
What do you have to do to get Luke's to light up, hmm?
Have him kiss his own sister (again).
8300 has HDMI out, and most software bugs that plague the 8000 are gone. Plus, there is a multi-room model.
The bigest problem is still lack of content. HDTV junkies will get VOOM once their DVR is released.
Consumers with limited economic means have bigger problems than the quality of the TV transmissions.
I see this similar to the transition from leaded to unleaded gas. People with limited economic means eventually got around to upgrading to an unleaded car, once they no longer could get leaded gas.

Off beating the person who modded that as funny with a rubber hose.

I would have never ordered my wife from overseas without Spam. Of course, if the penis enlargement pills had worked, I wouldn't have had to order her.

They thought that being slashdotted was a Ddos attack...funny.

If getting a vice president to write an ineffectual memo that is considered "changing the world", then the world gets changed 100 times a second.
You wanted to link to this: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/mediacenter/eva luation/devices/xboxextenderkit.mspx
That actually discusses the Media Extender for the XBox, rather then the settop box which is causing confusion.
No, there is also a software version for your XBOX. RTFA.

It does little good to cache the HTML, the video download is what is causing the server to choke.
Yeah, the bulkiness is the price you pay to get a real computer.
