It did nothing to reduce the volume of spam SENT, nobody is quaking in their boots because of MAPS. For its users a huge amount of spam went unread, but it changed nothing in the real world.
And you nerds thought the right thing would be done. HA! Money is power baby, there is no tooth fairy. Your politicians, legal system and truth are for sale.
I always do the opposite to anger the IT guys. They get really pissed because for a few seconds they think I installed linux or x86 solaris on another one of their machines. Microsoft Weenies.
But I also meant stuff other than the prompt too. I always add cal, and code to catch when I'm loging in from a windows box, that is a special case as their terminal emulator suck so bad.
Yep on a recent conference call I overheard,"ok I've rebooted the ss7 server..." "..uh wait..shit.. I think you rebooted the wrong one!!" We were doing a software upgrade on 1 of 2 clusters. The 2nd cluster had all traffic routed to it during the upgrade of cluster 1, until he rebooted cluster2-ss7 that is........
He had logged into to both ss7 servers because he wanted to monitor cluster2 closely while cluster1 was down, and he got the windows mixed up. A large telco that will remain nameless stoped processing a certain type of calls for about 25 minutes.
When will we get beyond these pointless flame wars and actually begin shooting BSD advocates then we would finally be rid of these devil spawned flouters of the GPL once and for all?
Yeah man, Slavery was quite level-headed and not loony at all. And fucking yer cousins and sisters and other fun shit like that are quite the opposite of crazy. Oh and lets not forget the bitter, narrow minded christianity so wildly popular down here.
What is wrong with BSD style licenses is that they lead to people feeling like a sucker. How would you have liked your terminal emulation code to end up in the windows NT Telnet program? hummm.... That would suck big-time. Any scumbag can come along, take your code, and make minor additions or just combine your code and a 3rd party's code and make a proprietary product. You would have not any rights to it, and your work would enrich someone else. ie you would be a sucker.
You would be fucking them over, if you never buy a CD, T-shirt, button, or never go to a show when they tour. If you were to download every song, but never spend a dime on them, then either you are the cheapest rat-bastard on the planet or the band sucks. I doubt you would have ever bought their CD at the Record Store. But then who says they would have ever been able to even release an album, they would have never been signed, and never made a dime. At least with mp3's they get a chance to find an audience, if they can turn that into an income source, then everybody wins. "the kids" get to decide on which artists prosper, rather than some scumbad mob-affiliated bean-counter with less musical talent than John Tesh.
If you were an artists who would you rather have to appeal to?
But if they do not have a strangle-hold on distribution and promotion who gives a shit about whether they exist or not. They cannot keep artists away from the public, nor can they determine what types of music people will hear. They are irrelevant. Their existence is like that of microsoft's, they can't control *everything* anymore. Before linux Microsoft was on the verge of being in complete control of all computing, but now they don't matter much. They still exist and make billions but so what!
They cannot make my unix skills usless by making every computer 100% infested with GUI's and 50Meg Registries. For a while there, the ultimate death of unix, except in extremely rare niches was almost a given. None of "the kids" could afford a real unix box, few people could get anything other than the most basic unix skills, but easy access to linux and cheapo pc hardware means there are lots of people with solid unix skills. Businesses bought microsoft junk because they could easily find someone with enough skill to keep the machines running well enough to do excel and word. Now you can get people who know linux, they can run simple services and over time can learn more complex enterprise unix skills.
Now, a cheapo computer means an artist can do all the things it took a major label to do, record, edit, master and distribute their music. Concerts, offical CDs, T-shirts etc is where they get their money from. They build an audience that shows up at concerts and buys various trinkets to show-off the fact they're into the band, etc by giving away the mp3's and tour notes, and pictures, concert footage, etc.
Previously a few Major-label artists dominated, and fewer people were able to make their own music available, music got bland and stupid. Every once in a while something special happens and a situation opens up, freedom reigns. For computers it was Linus's linux + GNU, for music it was mp3s + napster.
(Punk rebelled against the lame 70's, 80's and 90's bullshit, but punk didn't have the internet and only had limited sucess with just zines, 7" records and risk taking as their tools, you might say punk was the BSD of the music scene.)
They are limiting themselves to the stupid market. Idiotic highschool and sub-highschool teenagers. When these kids get sick of their 20th modern version of Pat Boone in a row, then they will stop buying that crap and start downloading and buying from independent record companies/artists. And as the article said, they will slowly develop their own taste, and Britney Spears will no longer satisfy. Know any 35 year-olds in to Britney? 35 yearolds have WAY more money to spend on records and junk than lazy teenagers. The majors are essentially writing these people off, going for the easy cash.
Maybe they can sustain themselves forever, a new sucker is born every.0001 seconds.... But the rest of humanity, those not wearing training-bras, will crave independent music, mostly distributed though the internet.
Most good punkbands make nothing compared to madonna or britney spears, but because of independent labels, zines and mp3's they can show up in any town, and draw a thousand or so people for a show. They make a very good upper middle-class level of income, and don't have to work for the man, and can make whatever music they want.
The RIAA is irrelevant.

Review: Atlantis
·
· Score: 1
If you get an MBA, either you want to run a business of your own, or want to become a manager of someone elses business. Both concepts suck-ass. Do you have an interest in computers, programming, hardware, etc or in payroll, accounts rec, taxes, dumb employees, moronic customers?
I don't have any interest in BS, so I don't have any desire to run my own business. Too many things I either dont care about or even would hate to have to deal with.
The nice thing about working with computers is they are interesting and it is highly skilled trade. You can get a very nice salary, etc. Jobs are quick and easy. I can involve myself as much as I desire. 9-5'er or become totally absorbed by the work. You are not stuck in any place you dont want to be.
However, if you leave the technical side, you will become not a knowledge worker, but someone who's value is in how well they manage, push papers, ride employee's asses. Quickly your skills drop away, technology moves on. You become a DOS3.0 guy in a windows2000 world. You are dependent on networking, not cat5 or frame relay, but suck-up skills, being a company-man, BS. Death. And eventually there is a cut in middle management, and they you are an old grey guy with no humor and few skills. Woe be unto you if you follow this path.
Oh but of course you, unlike 99.9999% of the planet, have only the brightest Bill Gatesian-style future ahead of you. Nothing can go wrong.
This wang suggests testing linux by running the winnt commandline code via wine! Sure adding a layer of windows APIs on top of linux, that will really improve performance.
Debian 2.2 supports udma100, he should have been runing stable, but in anycase he should state exactly what he installed, and should describe what he removed from cron. A fat desktop system will have tons of programs installed. What he is testing is the performance of setiathome, exim, locate, logrotate, suidmanager, syslogd and half a dozen other programs/scripts all at the same time.
When will setiathome go open source? Perhaps some compiler optimizations would hep. Who knows what demented troll is compiling your favorite platform's client.
The entire process while working is 13 or 14megs in total. The WU is just 340k, The performance has less to do with the processor speed, but is more dependent on processor cache size and the FSB speed. I have K6-2 400's and K6-2 550's that perform exactly the same because they all have tiny 64K caches. A K6-III 400 out-performs a k6-2 550, the K6-III has a 256K cache. I also have sun ultrasparc systems, one at 167mhz completes within a hour of the 300mhz system. And I have an old HP 735 running at 125mhz, on HP-UX, a huge, bloated operating system (unlike microsoft though, here the hugeness and bloat are the price for HP-UX's flexibility, stability and utility, LVM kicks motherfucking ass!) and it completes a work unit just a little slower than the K6-2's.
Ok, then how about if a company or officers of a company get convicted of say illegal dumping of toxic waste into the East River, then all employees and stockholders are forced to wear a tee-shirt saying
"My company, insert-company-name-here drumped insert-name-of-chemical-here into the East River."
The back of the shirt could give a phone number for the company, and a description of the harmful things the chemical can do.
They would have to wear the shirt whenever they are at work, or on company business or maybe just 9am to 5pm. Not wearing the shirt could also be a crime punished with say 1 day in jail.
How long the shirts have to be worn is set by the court.
Similar notices could also be placed on all their advertising, newpaper ads, tv commercials, websites, maybe even part of the annoucements any VRUs or secretaries answering the phone have to say, etc.
How would you like to be the ceo of a company that everytime your salesmen call on clients they have to wear a shirt like that? Or everytime go to the country club for a game of racket ball or golf, you have to wear such a shirt?
Stop making fun of fat people, they are humans too. Maybe you can run away from 1 fat guy, but 32 fats guys are sure to catch you no matter how fast you can run. Then who will be laughing?

Oh, I think you have vastly underestimated the power of debian developers. They are invulnerable to Kryptonite and can code the crazy.

No hes refering to you Australasians. But seriously the real danger is those greasy New Zealanders. Dirty goat fuckers.

Because their albums continue to sell you dumb asshole! Evis has sold far more records after his death than he ever did while living!

Just what kind of nurdz are cheating at seti@home? Get a fucking life!
Yeah, but they didn't write any of the fucking code! Exactly what are they patenting. make install??????????
.....vax is hardware vms is os........ oh god what a bunch of nerds! Funny funny funny!
