If you get bored, I wrote an analysis of the slashdot effect, seeing as how I was the person hosting those symphonies when all of a sudden I randomly got/.ed. "An analysis of the slashdot effect."
The fury of a slashdotting is truly an impressive thing.
Of course they're related, but they're not identical. Many methodologies overlap, but to say the two are twins would be a fallacy. Most software engineers couldn't be a computer scientist if their life depended on it, and vice versa. CS is more mathy and theoretical, SE is real-world application development. The main similarity is the fact that they can both, in theory, program -- though even this is sometimes not the case.
How many IT monkeys do application development as part of their job? Probably not many. How many programmers are IT monkeys do "IT" stuff as part of their job? Probably not many, unless they work for a small or understaffed company. I agree that both should have at least a rudimentary understanding of the other's job, however.
For fuck's sake, stop conflating the two already. CS is the study of computer science, which is a theoretical discipline. IT is management of infrastructure and hardware. And both of these disciplines differ from software engineering, where one is simply a software developer.
Are you kidding me? Of course Windows 2000 runs on 8 year old hardware, it's a 5yo OS. What good would it have been back in 2000 if it didn't run on hardware that was three years old back then?
What's the big secret that it still runs today?
As I said, I didn't know that they were not allowed, so I've taken them down. It was never my intention to infringe upon someone's copyright in any way, so they're being removed.
A few comments since you're all out busy raping my mirror.
I agreed to no terms since I didn't download them from the BBC. I heard about it after.
I wasn't expecting to be posted on slashdot. I'm surprised that my server is surviving the beating. Can't beat dedicated, I guess.
I don't want to get into trouble over this; I thought that these recordings were public domain now; I didn't realize that they were not.
What should I do? The obvious answer is to take them down, which I am considering doing. I don't want the BBC to make an "example" of me or anything like that. I would like them to continue giving away their music.
I've got the "huge" version mirrored here because it's the Fourth of July and I'm bored and because I can and because I feel like wasting bandwidth because it's there to be wasted, and you can't stop me!
Seeing as how real CS, the science of computers and programming (which, I might add is even different than software engineering) has almost nothing to do with IT, which is help desk, sysadmining, etc.
I find the attempt to tie the two together in some meaningful way somewhat disingenuous.
The problem being that one cannot simply use water for an injection, since doing so introduces a sodium concentration gradient. Water flows into the cells to balance out the gradient causing them to swell, and usually lys. Pure water is a hypoosmotic solution.
Doing the opposite (a solution with too much sodium) will cause the cells to shrink as the water from inside the cells will leave the cell to balance out the gradient. This is a hyperosmotic solution.
Eh, I don't know how long it will last, and I won't directly link it.

Should be fast before I have to take it down due to bandwidth concerns.
Just by typing a query (anything) into the search bar. Any query at all, including a blank one. It's set to Google for whatever that's worth.
The second most-used feature of FF for me, doesn't work.
Windows version. Dunno if it's the same on Linux.
This isn't new. Readers of Scientific American will recall a special edition which proposed warming Mars with greenhouse gases *years* ago.
Ah, here we go. From 1999:
The Future of Space Exploration.
This is not new by any stretch of the imagination.

And yet you post another link...
I survived it just fine, and that was with ~350MB of Beethoven downloads available. I'm not worried :).

LROC goes up, we are able to view the actual remains from the Apollo missions.

First their free Beethoven symphonies and now this. :)
Just for you assholes. ;)
...who's the biggest of them all?

Can you elaborate on some of its ramifications/applications?
I completely disagree with Gates's assertion wrt information overload.

Please don't link to the file directly. Gracias.

Holy shit 600 downloads in 2 hours.
Ack, let's see if I can make it a URL.
Link.

I can also make it crash by typing in a URL. Ridiculous.
