<0> Raccoon, which p2p network do you prefer?
<1> the MPAA diligantly tracks turrents
<1> we get calls at the TCC (campus computer center) about 3 times a week from the MPAA
<0> true. the protocol is still very useful though, and there are many legal, and also private networks
<0> so what p2p network do you prefer?
<1> "hi. our records show that a student on 5-1-1.xxx is downloading American Pie 2
<2> Raccoon: IN the US they do :P
<1> and sure enough, we go over to lab 5 and find that student still downloading it
<0> heh cool
<0> i got letters from my isp before
<1> so ****ing stop using turrents
<0> they are cool about it though.. they just claim that i am infected with soemthing, and to clean my pc
<0> nah, i wont stop. they are useful, and i also have access to private ones
<0> but answer me this... what is your choice p2p network?
<1> well
<1> if anything, use one from sourceforge
<1> emuleplus is sourceforge
<0> true
<1> www.sf.net
<0> so can you answer my question?
<1> yes i can
<1> use one from sf.net
<0> ok, i will..
<0> but that doesnt answer my question
<1> <0> to everyone: what is your favorite bittorrent client?
<3> utorrent
<3> of course
<0> yeah, that was answered
<3> do you even have to ask
<0> im talking about my other question... which p2p network do you prefer? there seem to be 3 main ones
<1> edonkey.
<1> gnutella is nice on 56k modems
<0> gnutella, fasttrack, edonkey
<1> how many clients use fasttrack these days
<0> he network has approximately 2.4 million concurrent users [1]. It is estimated that the total number of users is greater than that of Napster at its peak.
<0> hrm.. emule uses edonkey network
<1> yes
<1> as does emule+
<0> im currently using limewire, but it seems that they forgot to implement setting my public ip
<0> so its pretty much useless
<0> i'll go for emuleplus. does it work in linux?
<3> i use ares
<0> hrm.. im about to do something that makes me feel good inside.. =P
<0> left monitor is for main box, right one is kvm'ed to 3 diff pcs
<0> irc is on my right monitor, and i need to switch to another pc
<3> kvm
<3> psh
<3> i set up synergy
<0> so im gonna vnc to this pc from the left pc, which will allow me to switch screens and still irc =D
<3> i can just use 2 seperate pcs like a dual screen setup
<0> ya me too, its pretty nice
<0> yup
<3> move my mouse inbetween them
<0> synergy rocks
<3> yez
<1> i dont think so (no linux)
<3> i use my backup computer for irc
<3> linux ****s
<3> honestly
<3> its so overrated
<0> i also made it so if i move mouse off the bottom of the screen, it will end up controlling the other pc that i'm about to kvmswitch to
<3> people just say its so good to get at microsoft
<0> Fidelity_, not really
<0> there are many reasons
<3> yes really
<1> so macos ****s?
<0> most of which are a matter of opinion
<3> ive tried linux before
<3> its ok and all
<3> but im not going to ditch windows for it
<0> me neither
<0> i use both
<3> macos ****s for a lot of things :)
<0> i find it VERY useful and awesome to use
<3> but its good at somethings too
<0> they both have their place
<1> wish I could run xp under a linux shell
<1> easily switching between the two
<0> i would never abandon windows, because i love playing games, most of which are made for windows
<3> yep same
<0> well thats possible, but not very practical
<1> dual core processors should at least be capable
<0> you can use vmware or bochs
<0> or wine for emulation of single programs
<1> why can't both operating systems run concurrently
<1> without emulation
<1> but at the same level, like applications
<0> concurrently?
<1> yes, concurrently
<0> that's probably possible
<0> it would require another os though, which boots up your choice of oses and has em load at the same time
<0> main problem, imo, would be hardware access
<1> just a sophisticated boot loader
<0> you'd need more than that, because the oses will have hardware access conflicts
<3> 789456123
<1> each operating sytem is paused when the other needs to use the processor
<0> youll need an interface type os, which lets hardware i/o be graceful
<1> process queuing
<1> Fidelity_, your ICQ number?
<0> yeah, just like processes in the os itself
<0> however, it would be more complex than that
<0> lets say each os tries to use a device at the same time
<3> dont have one
<1> probably even worse with vista
<3> I have AIM, MSN, Yahoo, and gtalk
<0> my uin was 368969, but i lost it somehow
<3> pick one
<3> ohhh
<0> Fidelity_, you ever try skype?
<3> that random number i typed
<3> nah i havnt tryed skype
<1> does gaim support skype?
<3> dont believe so
<0> dont think so
<0> it can though, with a plugin. that plugin most likely doesnt exist though
<1> not interested then :)
<0> skype is pretty awesome
<0> i have an onboard sound card and a pci sound card on my main pc.. onboard was disabled, and the pci card was used for all audio
<1> i'd be happy with ip to ip
<1> no central servers
<0> so what i did is i enabled the onboard sound, plugged in a headset to it, and configured skype to only use that audio device
<1> interesting
<0> so i sorta have a dedicated sound card just for skype
<0> very convenient
<1> dual audio support
<0> yea
<1> didn't know windows was capable
<0> yup
<0> ever seen various audio related options in various apps/games
<0> where you select audio device?
<1> aye
<0> and usually its like 'default sound mapper' and another one that says ur sound card's name
<3> hmmmm
<3> i could do that
<3> i have onboard 5.1 and an audigy x-fi
<0> thats where you choose
<0> yea
<1> wish i had an ISA slot for my bad *** SB16
<0> its sorta buggy though.. switching between speaker configs is wierd cuz its dumb when it comes to configging the proper device
<0> and my headset's mic only works when device is in 2speaker mode
<3> i have an sb32 sitting here
<0> Fidelity_, check out my room
<3> i also wish i had an ISA slot :(
<3> that thing is so bad ***
<0> http://dvs01.fuse9.net/pics/dvsroom1.jpg
<3> like 14" long
<1> maybe it is a 32
<4> uhh
<3> notbad
<1> SB AWE 32 me thinks
<4> you can fully emulate a sb32/awe32 now
