As an aside, I can see something like this being useful as a generic way of creating a public archive of files, not just.mp3's. A public guitar tab archive, or lyrics archive comes to mind.
You thinking OLGA by any chance? I really feel for those guys, suffering the same fate as the Napster guys are going through, but for ear-transcriptions of the music. Nowadays they only link to mirrors of the previous full archive through a search engine. (I would be happy to help with creating such a beast, unfortunately I just now completed section 1.4 of the Kernighan/Ritchie ANSI-C book:( However if the project requires a temperature conversion chart I guess I'm your man) :)

It is a little unsettling isn't it? Some buddies at the computer lab were using it and I thought,"What a great idea, let the world know about your copyright infringements and view your hard drive at the same time." The windows version allows you to specify what folders you can allow access to. I can't wait to get ahold of the Linux port when I get home, but I would like assurance I can set the folder/whatever I share to be read only.
Also a tip for new modem users of this. If you set your bandwidth to 14.4 it won't affect your D/L speed, but folks will definately look for faster sites with the same files before D/L'ing yours...Also set one folder with like 2-3 mp3's so that folks won't see your secret stash. I know it's cruel/lame whatever, but so is having to use the phone and cutting them off mid-download.

Why don't we have cheap homes that are based upon the victorian style of homes? How about castles? These styles were en vouge when they were around but now they just cost a great deal and are difficult (and consequently much, much more costly).
IIRC Sears and Roebuck used to sell prebuilt Victorian style Houses, delivered by rail (Turn of the century, roundabouts, my dad has all the old catalog reprints) and set up at your location. One of the neighbors in my old 'hood had one that was set up similarly but built around 1988.They do exist but obviously it's much easier to just go straight from the aprtment into one of those ever-so-charming cookie cutter "starter homes":(. And FWIW the Sears ones I remember from my childhood in the Mid-West weren't the sturdiest things ever built. Always creaking and groaning, sagging in the corners and porches falling off (though I'm sure with the right maintenance...). It may be possible to get one cheaply and renovate;)
As for castles, they were obviously a lot cheaper with slave-labor to build them for you. Still I like to toy with the idea of having my own "castle" using cinderblock and concrete construction, reinforced everything, with a little turret on top with the family coat of arms banner, just to be that way:)

Of course "trying to flirt" is a lot different than "caught flirting" depending on who you are. Best advice, be freinds on the clock, suggest a meeting (think hanging out as opposed to a formal date) and see what chemistry develops after hours. But please, NEVER suck face at the xerox...

This is assuming you have the modem set up alright. If you haven't already then type

Not sure about 6.1 but my 6.0 still had an "expert" mode, which among other things made you partition your drive.

Another nice peice of S/W to check out is one called Rashnish's (sp?) Partition Manager. It allows you to load up your own custom boot loader, recognizes Linux and Fat32 partitions in nag mode, and the author says if you send him a skyline of your hometown on a postcard and he likes it he'll give you the full-ver license which does many other FS as well.
