I bought a 250 gb external hard drive strictly for media and its near full
Nearly 8,000 songs (600 of which are by Dave Matthews), 120+ movies, entire collections of Family Guy, South Park, Chappelle's Show, Arrested Development, 24, etc
When my University's IT Department gets letters from the RIAA or MPAA, we actually block the user's MAC address until they delete the files and show us they've deleted it. Each subsequent violation results in further penalties.....
I would know, I work there and have to deal with file swappers all the time (doesn't stop me from doing it either....but I do use caution). Basically it comes down to being at college helps protect you, but eventually you can get in trouble...most colleges give you at least a warning or two though.

Very true....k-lite is the lesser of two evils. I still prefer LimeWire to anything else though. That includes BitTorrent, which so many are crazy about.
LimeWire absolutely ruined my computer...... just a warning to you guys. I only downloaded one song I think, too. I posted something about it a while ago.
"Jack, will you call me, if you're able?"
"I've got your phone number written, in the back of my Bible."

So much crap that you dont even know is getting put on your machine. I would formatt and then it would be as good as knew, until he started downloading stuff again.
I run spybot on my work computer, but I am having troubles getting it to run on my computer at home (XP) it keeps saying that it is missing some DLL file. Anyone else run into this? Is there another free program like Spybot that I can try.
I've never used SpyBot, so I'm not sure about that. I used Ad-Aware and it seems to do the trick for me. I run it on XP, ME, and I ran it on an old 98 I think for a while, all worked fine.
ad-aware is alright, but won't protect your computer from nastier spywares. spybot is a great proggy, especially with the feature that asks u every time the computer is about to make a change in the register keys, most trojans are installed that way. it's a good way to keep it clean.

I took him with...drum roll please.
The Missed Adventures of S&@$-Man" by Green Jelly.
I actually had two more classic rock songs he didnt have, but I cant remember them. If you dont know who Green Jelly is, down load some of there songs. They are pretty funny, kind of like Bloodhound Gang.
Teenage Rave (maybe Rage) is pretty funny and so is "The Three Little Pigs"
Maynard from tool is one of the pigs on the Green jelly album....Or maybee hes the wolf...
anyways I'd use bearshare cause it rules...As for computers Dell, Compaq, Alienware, hp, and especially gateway all suck...If you want a new computer Ill build it for you for like 20 bucks on top of the cost...build your own computer...if you can do a jig saw puzzle you can build a computer...
Kazaa is full of viruses...Also I try to buy a seperate drive for my Media aka porn. so that it only wipes out one drive...hopefully
