Can you beta testers verify the existance of ad or spywares, if any? One of the previous "back page news" threads spreaded rumors about Cydoor.

Thats what i would like to know.

Is it not just another torrent downloader?

What does it have that is SO amazing? that ppl wont stop raving about it.

It's more than a downloader since it's decentralized in the sense that everyone is a tracker, along with that you search for files from within the client, so *AA can supposedly only shut down users, not web sites. (assuming exeem doesn't connect to some host that's necessary for the whole thing to work after all; I don't know)

However, since there are public trackers that has torrents with thousands of seeds+leechers and showing no signs of being shut down whatsoever, I agree the hype is a bit big. :)

Wouldn't you rather have the sites shut dwn and users not sued? Maybe that's just me. If you going to pirate crap, and lets face it, that's what Suprnova was/is about (directly or indirectly) I would rather see them get shut down then sue who's downloading. The whole idea of this eXeem thing is over hyped crap that'sjust going to make the MPAA and RIAA go after users. If they do it with Kazaa, why not this? It's 100 times simpler to get an IP from this then it is from Kazaa, et al. All you have to do is make 2 clicks and you have a whole list of IP's for people downloading "file x".

2. How can eXeem? be free?

eXeem? is supported only by ad revenue. This allows the developers to continue making upgrades to the network and enhancing the eXeem client for you.

3. Do I have to pay for eXeem??

No, eXeem? is completely free and it can only stay free with ads. This is why, trying to remove the ads will only hurt the future development of the program.

This should prove more than anything what I have been saying. Liquid, shut down your lite version or you will ruin it for everyone.

The ops and moderators in the eXeem irc channel have been told to ban anyone who links to or mentions eXeem lite. They do NOT condone your actions to make a lite version.

By the way if you didn't already know, eXeem IS in all rights their property. Editing and distributing a closed source program is illegal, whether you have to pay for it or not. You are messing with other peoples intellectual property, and it is illegal to distribute.

For the same reasons you cannot change a taskbar on someone's theme and distribute it, you cannot distribute the lite version of eXeem. It does not have to be filed with any copyright group to be someone elses property.

You may not think anything of it now, but remember your lite version runs on their servers. If they don't get the money they need to keep those servers up, both clients will die.

    • Valve will finally let you build your own Steam Machine with SteamOS for desktop

      By branfont · Posted

      If you don’t get lucky with Valve’s Steam Machine reservation system, you can make your own Steam Machine instead. Valve says that “starting with the SteamOS 3.8 release, you can put together your own Steam Machine using whatever PC parts you want.” SteamOS 3.8.10 launched last week with a slew of updates, including “improved compatibility with recent Intel and AMD platforms.” Alongside that improved compatibility, Valve is giving gamers the green light to install SteamOS on their own desktops. In an interview with The Verge, Valve’s Pierre-Loup Griffais said Valve has been “rolling out improvements to [SteamOS] so it’s more compatible with desktop hardware,” including eventual support for Nvidia graphics. Griffais says Valve has “a growing team” working on Nvidia driver support for SteamOS, adding, “We’re collaborating with Nvidia very closely.” While he mentioned that Nvidia support might not come this year, Griffais emphasized that “it’s certainly something that we’re working on in the background.”     Subscription not needed: https://archive.fo/Tssfc Subscription needed: https://www.theverge.com/games/953411/valve-steamos-desktop-nvidia
    • Microsoft outs Windows 11 KB5095093 with long list of new features

      I thought they were supposed to reduce the amount of restarts needed to install these updates? It took 3 restarts to install this update...
    • AI is indeed eliminating jobs, and Oracle just proved it

      By Jdoe25 · Posted

      I know an idiot at work who is "Director for innovation projects" and inevitably has been tasked with following up on this whole trend of "AI and its work applicability". He recently sent out a survey on the topic, for the workforce to disclose their usage and attitudes towards AI. The survey was badly, sloppily typed out, the questions and answers (when multiple choices) were loosely correlated and, all and all, it would already be miserable in the times of MS Office Autocorrect alone. Then, I had AI responding to it all (on the open-ended questions) with beautiful, to-the-point prose after I provided it with minor but proper guidance, taking me under 10 minutes. All this to say that I am sure that if AI comes to replace someone, it will still be me, and the other idiot will still stay.

    • Microsoft fixes one of Excel Copilot's most frustrating limitations

      By Abercrombe · Posted

      Call me when you can say, "Find all duplicate rows with duplicate email addresses and move the duplicate rows to a new sheet", and Copilot can execute that and not give you VBScript to write to do it. If anyone thinks AI isn't in its infancy and the bubble is about to burst, try to do anything meaningful in Excel with Copilot and you will realize AI hasn't even made it to kindergarten in most use cases yet.
