First US torrent conviction BitTorrent admin jailed for five months
ACCORDING TO TorrentFreak.com, a bit torrent site admin has been sent to prison for five months.
23 year old Grant Stanley was involved in private torrent tracker Elitetorrents. For his involvement with the website, he has received five months in prison, followed by five months of home detention and a $3,000 fine. Grant pleaded guilty earlier this year to "conspiracy to commit copyright infringement" and criminal copyright infringement.
US attorney John Brownlee said in response to the case: "We hope this case sends the message that cyberspace will not provide a shield of anonymity for those who choose to break our copyright laws."
Apparently this is the first torrent related conviction in the US and has happened under the FBI's Operation D-Elite, focusing specifically on Elitetorrents.
this post is follow of the steps of Basem's post , The Fedora Project is an openly-developed project designed by Red Hat, open for general participation, led by a meritocracy, following a set of project objectives. The goal of The Fedora Project is to work with the Linux community to build a complete, general purpose operating system exclusively from open source software. Development will be done in a public forum. The project will produce time-based releases of Fedora Core about 2-3 times a year, with a public release schedule. The Red Hat engineering team will continue to participate in building Fedora Core and will invite and encourage more outside participation than in past releases. By using this more open process, they hope to provide an operating system more in line with the ideals of free software and more appealing to the open source community.
BTW, don't forget it's FREE, that means you wont search for crack to activate your pirated copy of windows, you don't need to check if your copy is legal or not to update your version with latest updates, you don't need to pay any cent to install it on one machine or millions, if you need a help you find a lot of people to help ... it's open source power.
Fedora Core 6 is finally being pushed out the door with codenamed Zod, and is being released seven months after the much anticipated and well-deserved launch of Fedora Core 5. Yarrow, Tettnang, Heidelberg, Stentz, and Bordeaux were all exceptional or ground-breaking releases in one way or another, but what is new for Zod? I am still downloading it, the DVD version comes with 3362MB to download, I will try it and write my own humble opinion.
I am wondered that a big blogging community like blogger down three times in three days for maintenance for 1 to 3 hours each time.
in the last three nights, every time I tried to write new post an error page inform that the blogger is down for maintenance, is it my problem that I usually writes after midnight, I don't think so, in fact, I succeed in writing one post, and when I tried to publish another one-and after more than an hour of writing- simply an error page apologize "Down for Maintenance", really it's bad feeling and shame on youBlogger ... any way, wait me Wordpress.
The Mozilla Corporation have today uploaded the follow-up to their hugely popular web browser, Firefox. Despite not being featured on the Firefox homepage the files have all been uploaded to the Mozilla FTP site. The Windows installer weighs in at 5568KB, and was uploaded at 0819GMT . As well as this both Mac and Linux versions have been added.
Firefox 2.0 brings a range of improvements over version 1.5, which are a sign that browser has grown up into a mature product that can look beyond its current 10% or so market share. The development team has kept the general appeal of the interface, but has fine-tuned many features that are visible to the user. For example, tabs are easier to manage: By default, Firefox now opens links in new tabs instead of new windows, and each tab carries a 'close tab' button.
There is also a history menu that keeps a list of recently closed tabs, and a shortcut lets users quickly re-open an accidentally closed tab, Additionally, the search field now suggests search terms, complete browsing sessions can be resumed, there are more ways to configure web feeds, a spell checker for online forms and live titles for web page,The perhaps most significant change is under the hood. Firefox 2 now comes with a built-in anti-phishing feature that warns users of websites that are suspected to imitate another one with the purpose to extract critical information. The feature can take a user to a search page to find the real Web site a user may be looking for. Other new features invisible to the user include support for JavaScript 1.7.
Some Features:
In version 2.0, toolbar buttons have been given a new, sleek design. Little else has been changed visually.
Useful for power outages or computer freezes, Firefox 2.0 allows users to bring back all open windows, tabs, and entered text when the application is closed unexpectedly.
Firefox 2.0 comes pre-installed with bookmarks of several sites with RSS feeds. Users can also add their own to the RSS list, which is controlled by a button directly below the navigation toolbar.
Direct searching from the toolbar, which was popular in older versions of Firefox, has been enhanced for 2.0, with dynamic search suggestions listed as users enter key words in the search box.
after two months since my PC stop working, I've decided to check wht is the matter since I am a technical support ( najjar o babo ma5loo3 ), that prevent me doing alot of things like games,blogging,reading,...etc . All that time I was fighting to use the public PC (jihaz el-3aileh) @ home instead my one, it's really was so terrible.
