| Q6: | The BingIsBad.com Web site replaced its video clip of the White Christmas grand finale. The clip used to be called wxmas.avi. The new version is called wxmas.mov. Why can't I view this clip anymore? |
| A6: | There are many reasons why you might not be able to view this enchanting video clip from BingIsBad.com. One likely reason is the change in the view format, as evidenced by the change of extension from .avi (Audio Visual Interleave) to .mov (QuickTime). Try downloading a version of Quicktime that is compatible with your system, and make sure your browser is configured to recognize the .mov extension. |
| Q7: | My home computer receives an IP address through DHCP. I thought that would mean my children wouldn't be able to illegally share music files through their clandestine peer-to-peer Internet community. Now I find they are sharing my vintage Neil Diamond recordings with a pen pal in Sargassus who they know only by the code name Crackling Rose. What went wrong? |
| A7: | The peer-to-peer technique allows users who are currently on the network to register their current IP address with a central server. Users can participate in a peer-to-peer network even if their IP address is temporary because whenever they restart the peer-to-peer application, the application will re-register using the current address. |
