What value does it have to a student's education to allow open file sharing in the first place? If I were a university admin, I would shut off ALL incoming ports on all internal computers, except those that are needed by the faculty, staff, etc. I seriously can't imagine any situation where a student's computer would need to act as a server.
Unless Bob's major is related to films, he shouldn't be downloading movies at all, he should be studying. I don't understand why Universities even allow students to use that much bandwith. I was a Computer Science major in college, and even I never downloaded that much data.
With DVD players going for $50, I think we're past the point where DVD playback is an important feature for a console to have.
On the contrary, the cheaper DVD players get, the more important it is for a console to have one.
I have a DVD player and an Xbox, but I don't use my DVD player to play DVDs. Why? Because I can't connect both my Xbox and my DVD to my TV. I only have one component input on my TV. So having a DVD player in my Xbox is a real benefit to me.
The problem with Microsoft's code being readable is that there are only Microsoft people reading it.
You make it sound as if all Microsoft developers belong to some kind of hive mind. Microsoft has quite a few software people working for them - a lot more than 99% of all open source projects.
15 credits a semester? You must be joking. I don't know any engineering or CS major who was able to graduate in 4 years without taking 18/credits a semester every semester.
One of the reasons I got an Xbox instead of a PS/2 is that I don't like Asian-made games. Too many of them feature child or child-like characters, which I can't stand. Sure there are exceptions, but I get the impression that Xbox games are more geared toward "older players" (i.e. close to age 30) than PS/2 games are.
I hope that trend continues. Fortunately, I just got my Xbox, so I have tons of games I can still buy.
It doesn't matter. All the cops need is to show a history of changing to that channel multiple times, and that's enough to get a search warrant. They can then bust down your house and take your equipment.
It could record that you're watching a channel that you're not supposed to get because you didn't pay for it. That would be a good way to find people with hacked satellite TV boxes or cable descramblers.
No, it's part of the design of the moderation system. By having hundreds of moderators, the aggregate of their opinions is what is used. If 70% of the moderators think it's funny, but 30% think it's a troll, then the final moderation will reflect that. The point isn't to get all moderators to agree 100%.
Take this post, for instance. Some moderators will consider it to be insightful, and others will think it's off-topic. If the the majority believe that it's insightful, then my net moderation will be greater than 1. If, however, the majority believe it to be off-topic, then it will become zero or less. That's how it's supposed to work!
Baby wipes. No, I'm not kidding. It's like a shower in a box. Get to work, wipe the grit off, apply more deodorant, and you're fine.
That only works for people who stop sweating after they stop exercising. That's not me. I usually need to cool down for at least 20 minutes before I stop sweating.
I don't know how browsers solve the problem, but I'd be interested to know.
The JavaScript interpreter ignores the calls to open the window, depending on how the call was made. This technique would not work on the ISP side, because it would require the ISP's server to parse and edit the JavaScript on every page it sends to the users.
Try this stuff: Teeccino. I used to drink a cup or two of coffee every morning until I discovered Teeccino. It's expensive, and I need to make it really strong, but at least I'm caffeine-free now.

Mod the parent up. I've had lots of cats in my time, and adding another cat usually causes problems, not solves them.
Three words: Pentium FDIV bug.

And how in the world are they going to do that? You can't truly verify anyone's identity on the Internet.

Who modded this insightful? Lamps are hot because that's how incadescent technology works. Fluorescent and LED lights do not get hot.

Sure, but so what? My point was that the information TiVo was collecting can be used to incriminate you, if you're "stealing" cable or satellite.

In that case, you should be paying for business-class service. It was designed for people who need to transfer lots of data for business purposes.
It can't be intergalactic if it's in the same solar system. It could be intragalactic, but a better word is interplanetary.
Yes, it's just you. The girl in the 'after' picture is hot. The one in the 'before' picture is a fat piece of lard. The difference is incredible.
Oh please, all it shows is that C doesn't care a whole lot about whitespace.

But 99% of the problems that Linux has on the desktop have nothing to do with the kernel, and hence, nothing to do with Linus.
This is more commonly known as an Alpha.
If he really is raising funds, then the First Amendment has nothing to do with this.
Don't forget to mention the verbal and physical abuse during the first three years your there!
