Actually, I have far more trouble with Legitimate programs than I do with pirate software. For instance, my friend's mom's version of NOD32 (legal!), somehow became unregistered, and I had to jump thru hoops to find the passwords again. Meanwhile, my pirate version works just fine.
I know you're a troll, but muslims are not the evil people you think they are. You're thinking of Islamic Extremists. They're the ones that blow shit up. And scientology is insane, thats why we can make fun of it.
Actually, they "throttle" BitTorrent traffic all day long, all night long. I could have my computer log the RST packets if you'd like. I have iptables set to block rst packets on my bittorrent port.
I would like to point out that after my mother died (when I was ten), I had someone say something along the lines of "who gives a fuck" to me... I did take offense to it. After growing up a bit, and learning a bit about the first amendment, I've come to realize that it's their right to say that. HOWEVER, it is also my right to bitch about the fact that they say it. So, Good for you for exercizing your rights! And good for whoever tagged this story "whogivesafuck", for exercizing your rights as well. If we all exercized our rights a little bit more, maybe people in the US wouldn't be offended so easily.
do you know the reason for AUS telcoms having to be metered?
Its because theres only so many fibre lines going to AUS and the bandwidth is limited. Well, that USED To be the problem. now its just that they've got you all locked into that mindset that you've got no problem with it. However, the USA has far more Fibre lines connecting us to the rest of the world, and the bandwidth was never very limited. Notice, that while the USA is going towards pay-per-gb, the EU is going the opposite way towards unlimited.
Damnit, i forgot to mention, i got the thing for free from someone, so yeah, didnt have to pay for it... made my own power cable. And yes, i have young eyes... i'm only 22
God no, I have XP Tablet edition. The little thing is amazing really... i use it constantly just for browsing the web even at home. But i've been using it for word processing with a rollup keyboard. I like being able to carry my kit in my pockets
Actually, instead of comprimizing, I have a 15" laptop, and a Samsung Q1Ultra (7" screen)... you'd be amazed what you can get done on a 7" 1024x600 screen... especially when the battery life is 3:30 even when working hard. I even have a NDS with the browser rom so If all i need is to check my mail, i just pull that out.
Also, the samsung is great if you wear cargo pants and find yourself constantly needing a computer for something or another. it fits in the cargo pocket. it was great when i went to the wild game with it. had something to do durring breaks.
I've actually started refusing to bring things with me. There is NO reason I should be working at home and at work. Granted, there are times I'll bring it home just because I'm sick of hearing the boss bitch in the office, so I'll go home and work.
Also, thankfully, my other boss realizes that with our job, if we've got downtime, we've done our job correctly. When something goes wrong, thats when we earn our money by working our balls off.
if i remember correctly, MemoryStick is just SD in a different case, with 2 pins changed. then again, i could be wrong, but i'm pretty sure its only 2 pins.
Why is that? are you in a different country when you walk on to their campus? You still have legal recorse, just not as much. But any lawyer worth his wage could blast a hole in the "dismissed for any reason" clause.
Hear Hear! I used to write programs to show my work, because I was sick of dealing with listening to the teacher complain about me not showing my work. I see it this way: If I understand the equation enough to write a program to show all the work, with near 100% accuracy on the work part, its not cheating. Now, if I gave the program to a friend, then He'd be cheating. Same if I downloaded it off the net.

PS: TI-86 had better games than the old GameBoys, sometimes. and if you really knew what you were doing, you could keep them even after a teacher rips your batteries out in an attempt to erase your memory.
Chances are, the RST packets you were sent were from comcast's sandvine. They send one to both ends of the connection, to make it look like the other closed the connection.
Slashdot Mirror
well, there goes anyone on slashdot not being able to found a company.
Us slashdotters masturbate more that anyone on the planet. In fact, without us, I think the porn industry would grind to a halt.
Bandwidth is always cheaper than physical media.
Not if comcast and others against Net Neutrality get their way!
Look at Australia... their bandwidth prices are disgusting last I heard.

... where the hell are you from?!?! 40$? even special editions arent 40$!
Churches charge you to do both Marriages and Burials. Why the hell should I pay twice?

Read that crap and tell me they aren't more insane than Creationists!
I think if I met the decision makers at Comcast, I'd probably throttle them... so i guess that would work in the USA too

Actually, that would be considdered parody, and protected under fair use. Good try though!
its cause this is idle.slashdot.org
My girlfriend and I thank you for a good hardy laugh on a sunday night!

technically, you could just burn them to a "cd image" with Daemon Tools, then rip them from that, then remove the image file :) tada, no burner needed!

Fail. you can just use hidemyass.com to see all the pictures.
Parent is a troll.

I have that one. select xA978. You have the 4GB Silver Nano Video. works just fine for me. :)
