I just read that link, do we really need idiots like this on gnutella?
looks like the idea is to see what you can get for free, who cares about sharing back.
All it talks about is how you can speed up what you get, nothing about sharing back.
So gnutella is just about taking now. take all you can get and pay some idiots who did nothing $14.95?
Wait! It's not free, I paid for all those movies and MP3s and will sue you if I dont get every album ever made, you promised!
When will people stop being so stupid?

Unregistered March 15th, 2002 08:20 AM

paypal is a banking service, so what your saying is the same as "I'm suing visa because I ordered something stupid"

I do not have pity on the people that fall for this scam .
If they are stupid enough to believe it and pay .
And worse come and complain here ...

Their problem ; I'm not going to care about them and their vegetable-level brains .

Hmmm...

Let me get this straight. In the space of a few hours, you fall for a net scam and pay 11 bucks for a free client to a free service, you apparently completely fail to negotiate the PayPal interface, which is used to make nearly a quarter million payments every day and has been successfully used to create 14 million current accounts, you still don't have a copy of morpheus and you flame this public forum? Having identified yourself as preternaturally susceptible to an obvious con, you then proceed to supply your name, mailing address and email (not surprisingly @aol) address?

A few observations:

PayPal is a legitimate online payment service with the backing of (to name just two) Nokia and DeutschesBanc--not exactly lightweights in the areas of Banking and telecommunications security. Their operation has been checked out by several states, the SEC, and the FDIC without negative comment. They have launched a successful IPO which has drawn every scumbag ambulance chasing lawyer (the 6 in your family were apparently not paying attention) in the United States to try to extract money from a popular, useful and thriving internet service. They are defending against this vigorously and, from initial indications, successfully.

PayPal works just fine.

Gnutella also, works just fine. Has for many, many moons. It's free (as in $0.00).

Morpheus, too, works just fine (except for that thing a couple weeks back). It's also *FREE*.

This thread/forum is *about* Morpheus/Gnutella. It is a public venue unrelated to the actual company which distributes Morpheus client and no one here bears responsibility for Morpheus.

You have apparently shotgunned through the past few days without managing to understand any of these.

Which all leads me to a single, unavoidable conclusion: you're too stupid for P2P and you pose a significant threat to yourself and others if equipped with a broadband connection. I know several good, very bright people in Savannah, so I am left wondering if you somehow migrated there from either Palm Beach or Broward County, Fla.

lol, brutal but i agree. the world would be so much nicer if people actually learn a little bit *gasp, what an idea* about something before they use it.

Unregistered March 20th, 2002 01:47 PM

well you can some news about Paypal here http://news.com.com/2008-1082-863099.html

Unregistered March 21st, 2002 04:23 AM

lol
wow... I can hardly believe that people actually fell for this... I guess I can see how it could be possible, if you're new to the whole new amaizing world of the internet super highway...

Im a little insulted that somebody is actually making money off a **** page like that.... makes me wonder why I even bothered learning webdesign.
