P2P programs are supposed to encrypt your IP adress, unlike ordinary web browsers. To get your IP in a P2P program is possible (and it has been done, in Denmark and in the US IIRC), but it is much more of a pain in the ass.

:worried: its like my PC is not my own, as soon as you go on the internet on a nice new virginal PC you get a virus. I remember getting the love bug one inthe first week of thePC i am on now, about a year after the lovebug thing came out

downloading a firewall, and keeping your virus protections up to date, and only opening requested e-mail, is the best protection against viruses

This is by far the best protection against viruses. Most of the time, I get an unwanted email with an exe attachment. Yeah right, that must be somme cool porn

I suggest you to turn to Mozilla for both web browsing and Mail client. Most viruses are solely intended at IE or Outlook, and as such Mozilla is already safe from them. Besides, I'm not aware that Mozilla launches any executable program without asking you first if it's okay (and whenever a suspicious site wants to launch a program, you know it's never okay)

Didn't one of the early features on Big Huge Games mention that they had a centralized server with 5 gigs of mp3s?

[Whoha]

yea, theres craploads of laws, and if someone wanted to they could probably find some technical violation for this website.

Markos and Dan better get the Server out of the US before Ashcroft forces them to close the OT forum for hosting "unpatriotic reds" (Me, Che, Tass, Ramo, Spiffor, Kid, etc.).

Go whine some more about how bad the US is. That is allowed and is normal Poly activity. Your copyright violation crap is not. Buy the damn CD you cheapskate. And don't give me that crap about how you want to try stuff or how it will help the record label more since you try more when you buy more.

Do as you are told. This is America.

USA!

I just kicked a hot date out of my apartment.

[TCO]

I looked very carefully at what threads were on the list and figured this was the best one to say is non-serious and not harmed by "chat"

[Ted Striker]

why'd you kick her out?

[Urban Ranger]

You are correct, George
