I don't get it.
If a record company has two choices, one to release a record that will probably cause disprofit, and second not to release it at all, why on earth would it choose the former? Releasing such records in large numbers would cause them to lose money on average.
They're here to make money, right?
Isn't it so that it is the responsibility of the client program, for example Kazaa, to calculate the hash sum of a file to be distributed?
If so, wouldn't RIAA and the pals benefit from a rogue client that connects to the network and advertizes garbage files of the proper size with a proper hash?
A sufficient number of such clients in a network would be a considerable annoyance for the file sharers, would it?
I think the author was trying to say that having such an international atmosphere in a closed space would cause visitors to be exposed to viruses that their immune system hasn't get used to.
Suppose the quality of consumer grade 17" or 19" inch TFT monitors was as high as the quality of the display of the PSP's display.
The resolution of the PSP's display is 480x272. If one dead pixel per an area of that size should be acceptable, then PC users should not complain about having approximately 10 dead pixels in their 1280x1024 screen.

This is a sad day for scandinavian Ubuntu users. It seems I once again have to go through hell to get ssh connections working.

Would you consider that acceptable?
