All of the stuff that the RIAA/MPAA copies/dupes/fakes/places on P2P networks such as Gnutella is illegal, and yet these university students are actively attempting to fix this problem?
Isn't there a better use of University research time than wasting it on programs attempting to make it easier to perform illegal acts?

In addition to these fundamentals, Windows Vista Beta 1 also includes the Internet Explorer 7 Beta 1 built into the platform.
They never learn, do they? When will they realize that many security weakness's in Windows is due to the integrated nature of IE. Seperating the browser from the OS is an integral part in securing Windows. But MS once again choose not to. Is it the new RSS features that deny this needed change?
Oh well, innovation at it's greatest. Evolution and all that jazz at work. Oh wait...Scratch that.
If you take anything out of this, Yanks, look at the pricings. In Australia, a developed, industrialized nation we have 150%-200% markups vs U.S. prices on almost all computing items.
Actually, what i meant was: Gnome is a superb WM, but it's method of handling multiple windows is lacking. No fanboyism from Gnome OR KDE will change that. Expose is superb, and it defines OS X. What other OS can function without a taskbar?
My take - I'm a student at Perth, Western Australia. My school recently got a whole bunch of iMac G5's, and Panther, and they are a nice set of machines. I run a heavily customized ubuntu/Gnome 2.10 setup at home and I would have to say that OS X is all that it's cracked up to be. It has a great interface and file/folder management system (finder), is stable, and seems to be easy to administrate (given that the sysadmins seem to do little work:D).
It's a great choice for a school desktop, due to it's ease of use and solid support base. I use Linux at home and prefer it's data management capabilities, but there will always be a place for OS X in my heart.
At least until the GNOME team creates an expose-like function
Afterward, Arfa described Gates as an "ideal personality," explaining that he had been second only to Disneyland on her list of things she wanted to see in the United States. Previously unaware of the casual dress code at Microsoft, she said she had expected Gates to be wearing a suit but was surprised to find him in a casual shirt with the top button open.
Wonder how Bill is feeling now! Richest guy in the world upstaged by Disneyland?
Sorry, but whenever someone talks about wands and magic, this one comes to mind.

Purely in the interests of science, I have replaced the word "wand" with "wang" in the first Harry Potter Book
Let's see the results...
"Why aren't you supposed to do magic?" asked Harry.
"Oh, well -- I was at Hogwarts meself but I -- er -- got expelled, ter tell yeh the truth. In me third year. They snapped me wang in half an' everything
A magic wang... this was what Harry had been really looking forward to.
"Yes, yes. I thought I'd be seeing you soon. Harry Potter." It wasn't a question. "You have your mother's eyes. It seems only yesterday she was in here herself, buying her first wang. Ten and a quarter inches long, swishy, made of willow. Nice wang for charm work."
"Your father, on the other hand, favored a mahogany wang. Eleven inches. "
Harry took the wang. He felt a sudden warmth in his fingers. He raised the wang above his head, brought it swishing down through the dusty air and a stream of red and gold sparks shot from the end like a firework, throwing dancing spots of light on to the walls
"Oh, move over," Hermione snarled. She grabbed Harry's wang, tapped the lock, and whispered, 'Alohomora!"
The troll couldn't feel Harry hanging there, but even a troll will notice if you stick a long bit of wood up its nose, and Harry's wang had still been in his hand when he'd jumped - it had gone straight up one of the troll's nostrils.
He bent down and pulled his wang out of the troll's nose. It was covered in what looked like lumpy gray glue.
He ran onto the field as you fell, waved his wang, and you sort of slowed down before you hit the ground. Then he whirled his wang at the dementors. Shot silver stuff at them.
JonJonB: Ok, I have found, definitive proof that J.K Rowling is a dirty DIRTY woman, making a fool of us all
"Yes," Harry said, gripping his wang very tightly, and moving into the middle of the deserted classroom. He tried to keep his mind on flying, but something else kept intruding.... Any second now, he might hear his mother again... but he shouldn't think that, or he would hear her again, and he didn't want to... or did he?
O_______O
Something silver-white, something enormous, erupted from the end of his wang
Then, with a sigh, he raised his wang and prodded the silvery substance with its tip.
'Get - off - me!' Harry gasped. For a few seconds they struggled, Harry pulling at his uncles sausage-like fingers with his left hand, his right maintaining a firm grip on his raised wang.
Just curious, does anyone actually use the google homepage? Cause really, I only google using the google bar in firefox, and I use gmail with www.gmail.google.com/gmail. So really, I actually never do go to the homepage any more.
I'm sure for the 90% of the population that use I.E., including the 0.001% of/. readers that use I.E., it is a useful addition, but really, for the kinda guy that will take advantage of this feature, they just won't use it
and paintball are in the cards
Ah, the possibilities. Linux fanatics versus Linux fanatics - who will win?
My money is definately not on Team Gentoo. They will strip down thier guns and fire minature paint balls "to optimize efficiency"./flamebait
