If you are using any type of P2P software, you should read this... Hopefully it will make you stop and rather start using Bit Torrent, a far superior P2P client than anything out there. This article covers the most popular types of P2P (Peer 2 Peer) software, and what you actually are installing when using one. If you use Kaazaa or any of the other spyware ridden software packages, please check this out. www.benedelman.org/spyware/p2p/As I am not a very big fan of the RIAA I found this article regarding one of the many John Doe cases that they are pursuing against people sharing files online. www.villagevoice.com/music/0510,mamatas,61813,22.html This is the story from one of the people who got caught sharing music/movies online and what happened. Intruiging read. To close up I would recommend everyone to check out www.slashdot.orgfor more info regarding movies/geeky info A great resource. And I hope none of you are using Internet Explorer, and instead go for the superior Firefox located at www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/central.htmlOnce you start using it I can assure you you wont miss IE. Oh, and for those who really care the new trailer for SW Episode 3 is out today. On the brigther side, new pictures from the interesting movie version of 'The Hitchhiker's guide to the Galaxy' as well as the trailers are located at www.aintitcoolnews.com/display.cgi?id=19603Yay! Cant wait for that. The trailer looks sweet, and seems to be fairly consistent with the books (as well as the original BBC TV-series and radio broadcast). See you in class. Jay.

And to go completely off topic: worldjumpday.org/Also, if anyone is using AIM (or AOL for that matter) please consider using another ISP or at least another chat-client. If you havent read their newest EULA here are some excerpts from it. Basically, what it says it that you have no privacy using it, and everything you send through the network becomes AOL's property. Even your ideas. Go AOL. www.benstanfield.com/thrash/2005/03/aol_eavesdrops_.htmlYay.
