On my campus last year they shut down two servers held on campus to share music with people who had a university IP... My school has like an entire B address they bought quite long ago so they have every port on campus set to a different IP addy. So he filtered anyone who had a university IP could access this server and download crap from anyone who was connected to it. I'd say before it got busted there was around 1 TB of stuff that was floating around there. It got busted and he set up another one with one of his friends but it got hit soon after it went up too. I'm sure he was kicked out though.
Ya... This seems kinda stupid to me. I mean why have we evolved and progressed from Neanderthal men just to kill the weak while we can have complex emotions about some other crap in our life even though it is "basic" for us to kill? I know I'm no scientist or an expert in the field of humans but it seems kinda pointless to evolve and become radically different from Neanderthal men to just say all we want to do is accomplish the same task as they did.
IMO we evolved to our current state to escape from the "basic instinct" that people normally talk about to the more scientific mind that we posses now to do more than just kill the weak or what ever you want to call it.
Hell last week I opened a savings account last week and they asked me some of the stupidest questions. I've been at that bank for like 4 years or so now, I think a little longer and I was basically asked if I would be funding terrorists activities. I had probably a dozen questions about what I'll be doing with this account. A few of them even asked if I'm going to have daily deposits or withdraws over 3000 bucks at all during the lifetime of the account. I laughed when she asked me about this but she said and I quote "Ya these are some stupid questions, however to make sure your not a terrorist we need to ask you some questions."
I'm not positive about this fact, however in one of the Rolling Stone magazines I read an article about subsidies to oil companies that if we had to pay for them at the pump then each gallon of gas would be between 12 and 15 bucks more per gallon. That was also back before it broke 3 bucks a gallon where I live too so I'm not sure if it is correct or has become out dated now.
Reading those patents seems like they are ways to stream data from a magnetic storage device (hard drive) across a specific type of data transmission system then output it again. IDK but it seems like any program to watch videos on your computer is breaking those patents. Could some one clear this up for me because it can't be that simple, can it?
I wish they had that too, that and stuff you are looking at that is super saver shipping. It annoys me sometimes about the stupid things that people post that the amazon ones are always buried in the back.
Wow, you have a serious issue, however I'm thinking that it is not just Firefox, what are your extensions? I've got ff open with 6 tabs and 6 extensions installed and I'm only using 50 to 55 megs of memory. Side bar in Vista uses 13 megs itself and that does less so I think that is pretty good usage on ff's behalf.
I used to work at a walmart and wow there are some really stupid people there. Most of the people I worked with were complete morons and always had to get help constantly for the same problems over and over. The managers are not much brighter either.
What I hate is out of the 5 radio stations I get on my drive to school only three of them have music I like. One is available for about half the trip, then for the other half I have another, then for the whole trip I've got one classic rock. On my way to school this morning I had the second radio station on and they finished up with a show and started their "40 minute Rock Block" Which was 40 minutes of songs, after each song though during that 40 minutes they had someone come on and tell you it was brought to you by company XYZ. Then after the show they had 15 minutes of straight commercials. I'd rather have a few songs, few commercials, few songs, few commercials then 40 minutes of songs, interrupted after each one then 15 minutes of commercials. On top of that it took them at least 5 minutes to introduce company XYZ in the beginning telling me that they paid for this 40 minute rock block.
I don't think he was talking about Europe... Seeming how the article is about Developing Nations and so they might just use the FDA standards if they lack the resources to actually carry out the tests and what ever the FDA does.
Well that one is so true though... I mean come on if you listen to them there are going to be a very small percentage that may disagree, like around >1% if that... Of course I have no proof except for the wars on ultimate-guitar's forums about what everyone should start out with. If you ever want to see some trolling as bad as/.'s go check them out sometime.
But it is the truth... I'm not a genius but I was much smarter than most in my school, I'd guess somewhere around the top 20%, I had all A's and B's without trying and I was bored. I liked math in high school but it was always boring. The first semester of each new year of math class was always reviewing what we did last year the 2nd semester. We spent one semester learning something new then we re-learned it again next year. All the sciences were the same, and english was never very challenging because the teachers always gave us the answers to anything that required any brain power.
Plus in 6th or 7th grade they deemed my brother to be "gifted" and the only special classes he ever took was something about US government in 7th or 8th grade. Beyond that they never had any classes for people who excelled in a particular subject. It is all the same, either you start at basic math or start at algebra one and work up while taking the same sciences, english, social studies/sciences/government classes with everyone else. Few electives that challenged you aside from senior year you might be able to take the "AP" science classes that were a joke too.
We have something like this, but it costs less than a regular subscription but it also stops if you are not using the campus internet to access the music service. I think it may be Ruckus but I'm not sure. The whole thing kinda sucks because you never really own the songs and as soon as you leave our campus you can not download any more songs. Plus it costs so much per month.
When or where did you go to college. I'm currently enrolled and about 75% of the stuff students do on their computers is not related to school. Many people have low end laptops or desktops with a 1 GHz processor, maybe 512 of ram, and a 40 to 80 GB hard drive. It works just fine and those that need more powerful machines are the people who are into computers and know what they are doing. Plus with the whole "I need an iPod" they don't keep much music on their computers and what is left is some pirated movies if they are smart enough or pictures. It is mostly split between facebook/myspace and IM conversations. All those specialty applications cost too much for most students to buy to use on their computers that they just head to a lab to use it for the half hour that they need the software for the week or every other day.
I never had matlab but we had 4 or 5 labs, 30 to 50 computers in each, with matlab and any other software we may need and everyone got along just fine.
My college had this too, then there were two people with 2TB of stuff sharing that logged on as the other logged out, and then a good 5 to 7 people with 200GB each of the most popular stuff that was on there... The campus IT people frowned upon that and one of the 2TB users got kicked out of school. I don't know what happened to the rest because after there were warnings I dropped off the hub...
I thought that attempted murder was processed when you were trying to kill someone but just hurt them. I don't know about the whole thought of something becoming a crime is what the grand parent was talking about. I may be confused though.
I remember doing that for the D&D games we had for our computers... Our friends coppied the manuals or scanned them... Then we lost one page in the manual or the entire manual itself... That was so annoying. I thought of it as a game when I was younger but now I look back and I see it was a pain in the bum for me... Those were good games though for D&D games.
Ya, but then again I thought it was delayed because they could not produce enough because of the high ratio of bad to good chips. So it is still their fault technically they were last.
Sony doesn't have low sales. They've sold more consoles then Microsoft did relative to release date. Low compared to the PS2? You betcha. Is that a surprise? No, why should it be? It's more expensive, and it's the last of the "big three" to join the party.
Rumors of the PS3's death are greatly exaggerated. I could have sworn that Wii came out what was it two or three days after the PS3 so that would mean it was the last to join the "big three." I do believe that that makes your point invalid in that respect seeming how the Wii is doing pretty well.
I might not like what they are doing, but for me to have a copy of that music to listen to that is the only way for me to obtain it. I might not agree with their tactics but unfortunately they started early, before I was born, and locked it all up so I just had to get my music by paying them. If I could I would by a CD straight from the artist where they pocket all the money. Sure I could pirate the music then give the artist what I think is fair but crappy quality plus the lack of physical disk is a turn off for me...
Blue Oyster Cult is still touring and Who knows they may be making another album sometime. Just because they don't make music anymore does not mean I own the albums. Plus the fact that I still would not like to have them for free because a digital copy is nice and all but it is nothing compared to an actual CD. It is that tactile feeling of owning a physical object of what I purchased. I have just recently gotten back into music, since I picked up guitar, and even though I only listed a few bands that does not mean they are the only ones. Plus the fact that it requires money that I kinda use for other things, like bills and other hobbies too.

Plus every popcorn button I've ever used always burns my popcorn. I have yet to find one that actually cooks it well.
this is not all that cool looking IMO... I was expecting to see a lil robot jumping from the surface of water.

And I think that will be for those who have HD DVD players already and kids when shrek 3 comes out it will help HD DVD.

We should only need one, and it can be about this long...
