LimeWire Goes Open-Source

The famous Anonymous Coward writes: "I saw over on Gnutella News that LimeWire LLC announced that they're releasing the LimeWire codebase under the GPL license and that they've setup limewire.org as a site dedicated to Gnutella and LimeWire development. LimeWire's codebase is currently being used by two of the most popular Gnutella clients: LimeWire and SwapNut. As far as I know, this is the first time a formerly closed-source file-sharing codebase this popular has been open-sourced." gtk-gnutella is coming along nicely for Linux, but more competition is always better.

    Bloated and slow, yes.

    I wish someone would write a bare-bones OS with assembler.

    I'm so sick of having to download 23 M kernel (bzip2!) every time a new kernel comes out. Never got the patch to work.

    Im now 37 and still having paranormal experiences. My childern have had them also ill try to keep these short. I lived in detroit with my new husband and child in this house we were watching tv when all of the sudden it sounded like someone was in the basement smashing bottle after bottle of pop or what ever in the basement my husband and i ran down stairs but there was no bottles broken nothing was awry so we checked out side and nothing out there we walked back in the living room and all the hanging pictures were on the floor and one was broken. My husband said somethings not right about this house i agreed. In that house our toilet would have a black film in it , it was flushable but still it freaked me out cause i only saw something like that in a scarey movie called amittyville. My husband went to the bathroom one nite and swears he seen a man sitting in the chair in the living room, it scared him so bad he ran and jumped in our bed.We both had nightmares in that house. The next house we lived in that was haunted was the house in pinckney michigan. My hair was pulled lights would come on and go off we could here a baby crying in the walls my children were touched and there names said by something that growled their names. My children and i were dancing in the living room when a picture jumped up and flipped numerous times in the air before landing on the floor, My mom was painting and saw a head of a man just his head he was watching her. Goodness i could go on but it dosnt stop there I now live in a very old farm house about 100yrs old and ive seen bare little legs from the knee caps down my nite shirt has been tugged on while ive brushed my teeth, I was having a Mary-Kay party when my instructor said id like to see a little something happen tonite, no sooner than she said that all the lip sticks fell over and rolled off the table on to the floor. I literally had to beg her to stay for the party i had to ask the spirit to stop and it did for a while. believe it or not im still not done but ill write again some other time. BTW the head my mother saw was floating. Well chow for now You can e-mail me if you wish. have a blessed day to all.

      This isn't the forum, nor the site for this type of discussion.

      While there are no doubt numberous people interested in such discussions, your post can not be seen as anything other than OFFTOPIC.

      Ignoring those facts, those wishing to discuss these matters with you can not do so if you do not leave an e-mail address.

      I suggest you find a paranormal discussion forum.

    Well, consider the extra download time a stupidity penalty for not being intelligent enough to figure out 'patch', or to use Google:

    a visit to a psychiatrist? They have nice little pills that stop that kind of thing. I most emphatically emphasize that you visit a psychiatrist ASAP. Hope that helps, a friend.
