There are plenty of downloadable cycle sharing apps in the world and some of us are getting paid for having our machines do other peoples' work.
Someone STEALING (taking something so that I cannot use it) my cycles degrades my performance (AND PAY) faster than you can say, "why did my winmodem die oh that's right because Quake was taking all the cycles from the lame piece of no good hardware it is".
P2P is a pipe dream. Just one con, crook, and disappointment after another. Now if you could hook it into IRC clients rather than hook chat into P2P clients then I'll be happy.

Abusing the GPL?
·
· Score: 1
I don't have a problem making money off GPLd code (neither does stallman - FSF sells any GPLd code compiled to any cpu and os for $5000 as will fit a CD).
I have a problem not being able to fix it.
That's what most people care about in an age where every word processor seems more and more like a copycat of the last one.
You need a license to use the libraries designed by Sega to use on the DC. You sure the fuck do not need a license to make it do things from a low level any more than you need a license from Microsoft to develop programs for Linux on a PC.
The Dreamcast is a computer whether you like it or not. It's just that the user normally interacts with objects of the software, not the software itself, and certainly not directly with the hardware. Programming games for the DC is a special case no matter how much more common it is than low level generic programming for the DC is.
if you had a ball that was rolling under a rug, the end of the curvature of the rug at the position of said ball would reach the outside of a rug before said ball came out.
If you had a 2x4 1 light year long and moved it back and forth you could get a message there faster than light.
I suggest everyone use babelfish to mangle existing code to create his or her own programming language, instruction set, and dump civilization by the wayside.
I got a little tired of the chicken little mob whining. I honestly believe it's a waste to criticize over a bug that gets fixed fast regardless what is.
I'm more concerned about the code that rots and gets stale because no one wants to do their chores.
Shit happens and gets fixed here.
Go complain about people who DON'T DO THEIR JOB.
1. This was a very serious bug
Perhaps, but it's not the evil kind of bug like Windows locking up after several hours of non use.
This bug is not going to start the LinSux jokes.
This bug is the result of inevitable mistakes not carelessness.
2. It should have never made its way into the stable branch.
It didn't make its way. It had no history. One day no bug, next day bug, next day no bug.
3.Any kernel that hasn't been tested...
Ok I'll give you that. Kernels should have a standard subsystem test suite applied. Hmm...
I think I'll go outline one. Glad I thought of the idea. Maybe I could even make a buck off this...
4. Special care with messing w/ io code.
If bug in subsystem A needs changes in subsystem B check subsystem A,B, and if subsystem C uses A or B check C and if E,F,and G use C,A, or B check A,B,C,D,E,F,G. Check D just so we don't start wondering which have and haven't been checked.
Hmm... wait a minute why am I givin any of this away...
Bugs happen and now you're criticizing people who go it fixed in a very short time. How about being fair and telling it to Microsoft when they fuck up and don't fix for weeks?
What does he do? Run commands by searching through/usr/bin/ using mc?
Having $PATH=$EVERYAPP/bin, etc. is moronic.
Why make it harder?
Having an anal retentive filesystem isn't going to change program quality.
Having said that, I think filesystems could use the following concepts:
A directory = pointers to inodes for various files
A folder = list of files, pipes, devices, fifos, netconnections, organized together
A folder would contain a heading subfolder that referenced the directory files that had the inode pointers for the files in the folder.
A list = any delimiter separated sequence of objects referenced
You home directory would become your home area defined by a list of the folders that you wished to have organized there.
I think that sometimes people forget that there is no folder and there is no directory. There is just data. Arguing that/usr/bin has over 2000 files is like complaining the sky is too blue.

Um how's that offtopic? I have some questions since I can't get to the site.
/.ers don't read before they comment.
Christ don't moderators read before they mod. Wait,
Um, as I was saying...
Does the kernel need to be patched?
Cuz if it doesn't one could easily make this very useful for multimedia work. Add GIMP text to movie while compressing to mpeg.

Well it's kinda like this:
if you had a ball that was rolling under a rug, the end of the curvature of the rug at the position of said ball would reach the outside of a rug before said ball came out.
If you had a 2x4 1 light year long and moved it back and forth you could get a message there faster than light.
"Perhaps these laws of thermodynamics are only valid within a particular context, and the free energy comes from outside that context?"
Um why would there need to be an outside to that context if the laws of thermodynamics and conservation had an exception in the case of Jasker?
Hence your energy still comes from somewhere (the outside context you mentioned).
The more I hear about the discovery of water, over and over and over and over again I'll reason thusly:
If the gov't can repeat that there are no UFOs when 1000s claim there are, why can't the UFO watchers claim there's no water on Mars?
It would push FOX' ratings up a la "No Real Moon Landing?"
I'm really getting tired of the same discovery over and over again. Anymore and I'll start to doubt whether Mars really exists.
According to the book DMCA, by Marcia Wilbur, downloading to a PC is ok because it is not a device designed solely for performance of media.
I suggest everyone use babelfish to mangle existing code to create his or her own programming language, instruction set, and dump civilization by the wayside.
Is that movie about the rapist murderer that got killed by the victim's mother a snuff film?

Who cares about alternatives?
All I want is something that I can get to do my dirty work without needing to use the phone and a service account number.
How can I do that without freedom to modify, disassemble, and distribute?
That's assuming IP even exists.
There is only copyright, mark, and patent law. IP is a misnomer, a hypocrisy, and a deliberate lie.
maybe the new killer app is something you can hack
