Real Time Gnutella Visualization
brett42 writes "Some students at Berkeley wrote a python program that connects to the Gnutella network and maps out connections between nodes in real time. " I gotta say thats pretty smooth. Hopefully future gnutella clients will incorporate something like this just for the time wasting potential of watching the graph wiggle while seeing what porn others are searching for.
Happy troll Tuesday...!!

This would make a cool screen saver.
OK, I appreciate your post. Very interesting. But, maybe I'm crazy, but this smells awfully like a Karma harvest post. I'm a little suspicious that you are really a troll trying to gather up Karma points in order to be able to use this as a troll account later.
My evidence? This post is a little too informative on a totally boring subject. Who would go to this much trouble to analyze their work, etc? Either you have WAY too much time on your hands, or you are actively trying to find informative things to say about every story.
Hmmm. I will be watching closely. Just wanted you to know that someone is on to your little game.

"I'm a regular Slashdot poster many would recognize because of my regular brilliance" I can think of few Slashdot posters that I would consider brilliant... and the ones I can think of are trolls finding brilliant new ways to display Goatse.cx.
Keep in mind that pornography literally means "A visual reproduction created solely for pleasure" Wouldn't the enjoyment of watching a graph wiggle be considered porn?
Similarly, school photos of your kid in your wallet constitutes child pornography.
Seriously though, I've always like this kind of thing. For example, the performance monitor graph is endlessly interesting to me. The modem lights on my roadrunner is interesting to me. I'd like something more interesting than the hourglass icon. One that fills up as the work is completed would be great. It would tell me how much longer I have to wait.

Umm.. I think the name "Angry Black Man" gave it away from me, but you make valid points ;-)
Well, it was theoretically possible that he picked "Angry Black Man" as a joke, so I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt on that. :)
But looking at his posting history, I'm getting pretty convinced that he is a troll harvesting karma. Almost every post is basically a google search of more information about whatever the story is.
I'm not sure I'm ready to definitively declare him as a troll, but the evidence is mounting.

I believe that Limewire does support some sort of boolean searches. I've noticed that using '+' with a search further limits the results you get e.g 'foo+fighters+everlong' returns almost only that song not anything else. Like you said though, I too cannot find any info. on this feature.

It it, but MS put in a bunch of 'safety features' that 'fix problems' caused by software that competes with MS products. ;)
