If these songs or poems are not marketable, then all your copyright is doing is preventing anyone from ever seeing them.
It also prevents others from profiting from your work. Just because he can't find a way to make money off them, doesn't mean somebody else should until he's had his 'chance'...
Turns out, high licensing fees, lack of simple implementation, security leaks and server downtime, were not acceptable to most of potential clients out there."
Well, usually that's the 'look' of the currency (US currency is rather bland compared to other nations currency). Not necessarilly the value of the currencey. Though the Yen and Lira have taken a bit of a beating in most nations for being so devalued...
Although cool 3d interfaces are nice and do create a more intuitive user interface
Maybe to you, but I've always found such designs awkward. They're stuck trying to mimic 'real-world' objects, with the inherent limitations that go with them.
Well you obviosly got the 'holier than thou' attitude taught in socialist European schools.
Here's a hint, most people don't need to spell check every single word, they generally have some vocabulary of their own.
Here's another hint. Typo's are accidents. Usually due to typing too quickly. Most people accept that Slashdot is *not* an important thing to post to, and thus don't double-check such things. These people assume that others are intelligent enough to understand the post, and polite enough to overlook casual errors.
But at this point IHBT, and will stop replying. Thanks for getting the blood moving in the morning.
Erm, that would be 'typo', short for typographical error. You dipshit.
I bow to your infinitely superior grammar and spelling. I'm but a mere American and can't quite live up to your standards. A thousand pardons oh great one.
Excuse me if I don't fetch the dictionary and spell check every post to Slashdot. As important as it may be, I don't exactly put it on the top of my list of 'things to do'.
And your proof that this is just bitching from liberals who still claim Bush "stole" the presidence(sic) is...??
That the only time I see this argument is people bashing Bush, and no proof is ever given.
You can argue if that's good or bad for yourself. To me it makes no difference. But you seem to be the only one making unbased political bitchings at somebody you know nothing about with absolutely no reasoning behind it except your BS statement that you "hear this a lot."
More bitching.. And still no more proof. I didn't say the statement was true or false, I simply asked for proof. Any proof. Even a little proof.
Yes he hit a nerve. I'm sick of morons insulting the US for no good reason.
I'm aware that the US Dollar is less valued against the pound. But it's been that way for some time. It's just that recently the Dollar has been dropping in value against other currencies. Many economists aren't worried about it, as they claim it's a 'normal' side-effect of coming out of a repression. As is debt by the way*
But if I have to listen to one more moron calling me a USian, and refering to the 'King' of America, I'm gonna hurt somebody.
Funny thing is, that Americans are much more sympathetic than Europeans. I never heard jokes about Canadian money being 'fake' simply because it was worth 'less' than the US dollar.
* The US government spends more money helping the economy back on it's feet. Short-term debt isn't necessarilly a bad thing. One theory at least. I'm sure you can find people who disagree.
Real currency? Oh, thank you! I hadn't realized I'd been spending fake money all this time. You think the government would do something about this wouldn't you?
Good rant! Unfortunately you're about to be modded down by the mod's (wish I had points!). I totally sympathise with you though. I'm incredibly sick of these Euro-elite bashing the U.S.
And your proof that this was a direct result of Bush becoming president is...??
I hear this a lot. And nobody ever backs it up with anything. Just bitching from liberals who still claim Bush "stole" the presidence as far as I can tell...
Come on, over 90% of Spaniards were opposed to the war, one of the reasons being that they would be more of a priority target if they supported military action (explicitly stated by Osama bin Laden). Seems like they were right.
I for one think we should do everything the Bad Guys(tm) say. Lest we should be 'hurt'.
What was it somebody was saying about European principles? Perhaps Microsoft should just threaten the EU. I suppose they'll cave in like good little Europeans...
Caveat: This post brought to you by an angry American. Don't post bad responses or bad things will happen to you! Muwahahahaha!
IIRC the judiciary pursues what the head of law enforcement wants it to. The head of law enforcement is the cheif executive. The president.
You're joking, right? Please tell me you know that Justices of the supreme court hold life-time appointments to keep them from being beholden to public opinion, and legislative pressure? Sure, the president appoints justices, but once they're in, they're in. And as Massachusetts found out, they don't answer to anybody! (gay marriage was decided by the courts, not by (and against the will of) the legislature).
But people like you blame/credit the president with everything, regardless of whether they actually have any real power over it.
The final closing of military use of airship, the Snowbird in the 60's I believe, was heavily influenced by more political factors that technical or monetary.
I thought they were a disaster? Blimps do horrible in bad weather. They had lots of crashes. I can't find any links (I think I saw this on Discovery). Airplanes definitely deal better with wind though.
Arp lookups, and caches have nothing to do with PCI bus speeds though (what the grandparent poster was talking about). Many people posting here are vastly underestimating how fast a PCI bus runs at. One poster even mentions that it won't keep up with 10Mbit!
But even still, a sufficiently fast PC should be able to keep up with a Cisco switch. Optimized code can be 'brute forced' with higher class hardware, yes?
I may be wrong, but most of the answers here are conjecture. I'd love to do some real tests. I've got a P120 at home that I'd love to find the limits of...
These packet filters are also truly stateful (last time I checked IPTables, it wasn't truly stateful without a bunch of extra patches).
What do you mean by 'truly stateful'? AFAIK iptables is stateful.
I've got a little diskless P120 that does just fine with DevilLinux on a 1.5Mbit cable connection at home. Even does VPN. Not the fastest for VPN, but I've never seen it not keep up with my non-VPN traffic.
You're not supposed to *read* the patriot act! You're supposed to listen to the hearsay and conjecture on slashdot!
Sheesh. Newbies...
I don't know what everyone is whining about here. If the FBI can convince a court that they should be reading your email, listening to your conversations, etc., then I probably *want them to do so*. Has anybody thought what would happen if the FBI had too *little* power? The results could be just as bad as if they have too much power IMHO.

Soooo, would a big enough tomato be a planet?
This site has an interesting definition of "planet".
any body in the solar system that is more massive than the total mass of all of the other bodies in a similar orbit.
This would, however, demote Pluto...
Also, please learn to spell.
My deepest appologies for making a type-o while replying to you.
And you act like 'right-wingers' are the only ones with repetitive arguments that bear little resemblence to reality.
Yawn.

We *have* one. It was even linked to in the story.
lynx (281) beats mozilla (378) :????
Not terribly surprising. I install it on all my machines (even the headless ones) for testing purposes. But only Mozilla only on my 'desktop' box.
I'll er, have you know, ah, that our ah drunk senators are better than anybody elses drunk senators.
I didn't come in here wearing any pants, and I'm, er, not leaving with any pants...

does BitTorrent even work under Linux?
Would you like the GUI client or the command line one?
Yes, it works very nicely under Linux.
