Well the judge said turn over the source code, so you'd darn well better be turning over the "source" of your "code". Which may or may not be assembly, but lets face it, it's not. And the other company could have filed a complaint just the same as if you had totally ignored the court order- a complaint saying that you weren't following the order. Which you weren't.
Say you have 8GB of RAM in the server. That costs $500 or thereabouts, but it's a necessary component of the server so OK. Now are you suggesting that torrentspy buy 8GB of memory for every memory write that takes place on the system?
They specifically said they throttled network speed. It's not like something they should have tested for and never found, it's something they did themselves.
A desire for a happy life is not highest priority. There are things I value more- for example the truth. And I would rather "stay true" to the truth than forsake it to live a happy life. This is basic, come on- more than 2200 years ago: "better to be Socrates dissatisfied than a fool satisfied". Look at this chart. OK yes I'd probably "love big brother" if basic physiological needs were denied me- too much survival instinct to fight. But love of the truth is definately farther down than living a safe and happy life. Come on, would you really rather be Breen than Vance?
The rest of us slashdotters value truth more than a peaceful death or a happier life, or even safety- unlike the rest of the world which will accept anything and give up any freedom to a power guarantees their safety in a time of danger. The willingness to accept lies because they're afraid to stand up for themselves is what got Airstrip One in that pickle in the first place.
But enough reasoning- the plain fact is that your argument is disgusting and deserve to be modded -5 troll for the rest of your days >:|
...but that episode was like an exact ripoff of 1984. I burst out laughing when I realized that the Cardassian was trying to get picard to see five lights.
You mean "how many fingers am I holding up" "four, five, I DONT KNOW!".. good book:) However it didn't take place in room 101 (that was only the rats), o brien did the fingers and electroshock in just the normal torture chamber
To say nothing of traditional multithreading, how do they explain how the entire OS could be run on either of my cores, but just networking and multimedia can't run together on both of them without some kind of tradeoff?
What should I care if some guy is profiting off my free work? I'm sure the BSD developers who wrote the IP stack that microsoft took would have written it anyway- what are they going to do, let microsoft develop their own crappy stack and force 90% of the world to use it?
Why does everyone love the GPL? By forcing users of the code to obey the hacker ethic, it's breaking the hacker ethic. Code is code, and it doesn't make any sense to put restrictions at all on it, even if they're just copyleft restrictions. BSD for me- it's basically public domain (the best solution IMO) but it strokes my ego by making sure my name is included in the code:)
How many years ago was that? And this guy's only now getting in trouble? Sorry, I can't RTFA since it's torrentfreak and my network admin has it blocked...
If you have a 200GB file spread across 10 hard drives in a RAID0, then there's 10 points of failure. Any one of the ten hard drives could fail and you've just lost your file. On the other hand, if you have your file taking up the whole of a single hard drive, then the only way you'll lose that file is if that particular drive fails. If a drive fails you stand to lose more data if they're on a RAID0 compared with a bunch of independent HDDs.
If you were taxed 100%, it would take even less time to work off that $40 million.. your reasoning is flawed. And the cup of coffee is for the $40 million not the billions and billions it will cost.

Hm? I meant that TPB was shut down temporarily by pressure from the MPAA and it's way over in sweden.

Tell that to The Pirate Bay...
That's not "source" code, that's base machine code prettied up a bit.

Who wants copyright to work?...

That was obviously a joke by the way- I don't want the MPAA to pressure the police into charging me with conspiracy to murder or something!
"even if they are right, they are stilling playing with a handicap" O_O Do you realize what you're saying?! Doublethink > Truth?
Ask him to say hello to your little friend..

How many lights are there again? Five?
Will somebody please feed this troll? Moderators, FIRE!

Hand-configured.
I use slash messages to keep track of replies to my posts. ..so I can have something to reply back to and whore more mod points :)
