Serving uses exactly the same program as downloading, the only difference is that when you serve you have to make the hash file yourself and publish it somewhere, then take the hash file and run it against the program, just like you would if you had downloaded it from scarywater, and it starts serving. The process is the same whether under windows or linux.
But in the UK the pint is outlawed and in it's place is the half liter which is less than a UK pint so you lose out whereas in the US when you go from the pint to the half liter you get more in the half liter.
.5 liter =.879877 pint UK
.5 liter = 1.056688 pint US
My local electronics store has 1F capacitors, huge things they are and on the expensive side, and quite a number of car audio places have them so you can make your car sound more annoying to other people.
I have what I think is relevant analogy, if you're a musician and sign a contract with a label that you get 2$ for every CD that gets sold and that you'll produce 5 albums or you will get 1$ for every CD sold but only have to make 1 album for them and you accept the 5 album deal(yes over simplifying) and 1 million CDs get sold and you get your million dollars then turn around and quit and then joining another label that will pay you 3$ for every CD sold. But breaking the contract is OK since it was holding you back from making as much money as you could when you should have either asked for 3$ a CD upfront or not to do 5 albums.
Then don't sign it, sigh, I've explained this in 5 different threads, I've worked in the tech industry, the only thing I've ever had to sign was an agreement not to short the companies stock.
What is so hard to understand about upholding your end of a contract whether it's legally enforceable or not.
The next time someone offers me a contract, I'll just sign it without looking and then break it anyways as it impinges on my ability to be as free as I want to be, maybe it'll be on eBay with you being the buyer, send me the money and I don't send anything back, why should I? sending you your stuff impinges on my right to keep it and sell it again for some other suckers money.
Since the majority of statements are made about the US, guess what? it's a free country, the US government will even help pay for you to start a business they love giving out grants, if you can't find an employer you like, then start your own business.
Whether or not they have any effect is not the point I'm trying to make, I don't think non compete are a very good way to do business (threatening your employees before they're even paid their first paycheck is not a good idea) I just believe that if you sign a contract you should uphold your end of it wheteher or not it's enforceable under the law is besides the point.
This isn't anything like contract killing, upholding your end doesn't break any law, it just inconveniences you.
Fine, don't sign the non compete, but if you do and then think it's too troublesome and break it I think you should be blacklisted. If you can't be trusted to uphold a previous agreement, what's to hold you to any future ones?
In what part of my previous statement did I condone the practice? All I stated was that I believe you should uphold your end of a contract.
I certainly wouldn't hire you if you think breaking contracts is all fine and good. No one is forcing you to sign one, but if you do you should honor it.
They could refuse to hire you as your changed the terms of the contract, next time change it so you get every day off because you observe all days as paid holidays and just initial it.
That's really neat, have to check it out, but as an employer are you going to hire someone who only has experience on an emulator. If someone claimed to know Cisco and BGP and had only used Zebra are you going to trust them on your 10,000$ router? And that's a really bad example as some mainframe's go for quite a bit more 10,000$.
Microsoft has made an extremely stable OS, it's called Windows 2000, as long as you use MS certified drivers the OS should never crash, individual programs may crash under Windows, but you can hardly blame Microsoft for that. I have had Windows machines with months of uptimes and no problems, went down 8 days ago due to power failure too long for my UPS's to handle, which also took down my FreeBSD machines, uptime is matched for all of them, and will one day again be measured in months.
Yes I should probably patch some of my Windows machines, but I have my network configured in such a way that for the most part I don't need to worry and you don't have to worry about my network spewing forth slammer or other nasty junk.

Not really, when I had a 9600 baud modem, there was still stuff it took forever to download, heck 28.8s and the original Diablo demo took about 10 hours, if you check out some of the bittorrent sites they have dvd-r images on them, even with my current cable modem still would take quite a while to download.
Like hard drives and memory, you'll easily find a way to fill it up.
Of course I'd rather have true freedom of choice and if I want to run a propritary OS and software I should have that right too, I'd rather have choice than freedom.
But if they started using valid addresses, then they could actually be blocked with a very simple very distributable blacklist in addition to TMDA's personal whitelists.
Like I said, it's not about making it impossible, it's about making it more expensive than it's worth, which I guess I also mean to say they spend more time (time is money) than I do, if I spend ten minutes setting up TMDA (I think it took me about considerably less than that, very good documentation on that project) then I just have to cost all the spammers put together that try to spam me at least that much time.
I was joking, and yes, migration hurts, I don't have any large scale backup solutions at home so moving 2 120 gig drives from Windows to FreeBSD (or anything else) is for most intents and purposes impossible, although it also stands that Windows 2000 is at least 3 times better for me than Linux (or my preferred FreeBSD) for what I use it for even if I made that comment in jest.
This also starts sucking up spammers resources in CPU time and bandwidth since he now has to individually send out replies instead of CC'ing a million address, all you really have to do to stop SPAM is make it more expensive than it's worth.
Well if you're going to say that, I've had NTFS 4/5 read/write support in Windows 2000 for about 3 years(NT4 sp6a has read/write support for NTFS 5 also), so I guess that makes Windows 2000 and NT4 at least 3 times better than Linux.
If you want the benefits of ports with what you like from Linux some people say Gentoo is the way to go.
Disclaimer I don't use Gentoo I don't use Linux beyond what I use Linux compatiblity mode in FreeBSD for(Folding@Home is the only thing i'm using right now)
just finished installing freebsd 5 on an old pentium 200, it borks and reboots if i try to even boot off the cd, works fine if i do a floppy install(blech) with some help from ftp
which was weird because in testing to make sure it could actually boot cds i had tried win2k3 server(free 180-day eval) and that booted fine
Actually I do know of at least one broadband provider that doesn't allow NATs, sorry but I can't think of the name off the top of my head but it's located in the Boston area, my friend is a sysadmin and this ISP had been the provider they had chosen for their employees to use to work from home, one day some of their employees were just cut off, no explantion, calling the ISP they found out that those little Linksys boxes(using the term generically) were "banned" and that NATs weren't allowed, we never did figure out how the ISP figured it out as it was already cloning the assigned MAC address, and firewalls weren't prohibited. I hate it when ISPs change TOS without notification.
I was reading through RoadRunner's FAQ and they specifically allow use of NAT's and those little Linksys doodad boxes, they even have "RoadRunner Wireless" being rolled out, where you hook up wireless AP to share your connection in your home, and specifically list in their FAQ that VPN's are ok.
The following links might not work if you attempt to access them from outside RoadRunner's IP blocks LANs on RoadRunner
But but but but, Mac OSX is the most widely used Unix(yes I know they don't get to use the trademark) out there, or at least that's what Apple was claiming at one point.
Doesn't really matter to me, I use FreeBSD for my server, right where it belongs, though I also have a FreeBSD box as a server/workstation, and my Windows box for playing games.
I see no reason to move to an all Unix based system, I like Windows for what I use it for and I don't use it for stuff that I don't feel it should be used for, although Windows Server 2003 is actually pretty nice if you use it as a workstation (I've been playing with the 180 day trial version, the full version is around 880$ and is kind of out of the reach for the average person to use as a workstation OS), has lower min sys req's than Windows XP and I like the layout of it better too (services are used liberally, audio is now a service and DirectX is off by default).
