Industrial-Strength P2P
hhutkin writes "Business 2.0 has an article in their latest issue on Bill Joy and Sun's peer-to-peer play, Jxta." A bit light on details but still good to know progress is being made in the field of peer to peer apps. But don't expect anything useful any time soon.

I designed GNUTELLA before I heard about it.
I was making a protocol to make Diablo 1 unhackable but nothing is stored on the main server.... The key is your info is on other computers so you can't lie. I then expanded it to a Gnutella base when I heard about napster.
Another good use for P2P is IP spoofing... Someone should write SpoofTella. Basically all computers running it would share lines so they can spoof information.... depending on how you want to work it, you could spam webadresses, bomb dot coms, or just work around annoying sys admins banning you from your IP.

Is it REALLY that hard to freaking copy/paste a link into your preferred web browser? Yet anytime someone commits the "sin" of not making a clickable link, some karma-trolling jackass has to follow up their post with a "clickable link" post, for no other reason than to try and get that elusive +1 Informative. You people are fucking morons.
Blacks live like dogs, Mexicans are dishonest, and gays are among the enemies of a strong society. And the last six Roman emperors were "fags." Those are some of the more bizarre musings of President Richard M. Nixon in the 445 hours of tape recordings recently released by the National Archives.
The 1971 tapes have been of historical interest but also embarrassing to the Nixon family, which fought to keep private a large portion of the recordings. A further analysis of the tapes by the Chicago Tribune may give an indication why.
In an Oval Office discussion about welfare reform with top aides H. R. Haldeman and John D. Ehrlichman, Nixon is heard lamenting that the country will have "more of these little Negro bastards on the welfare rolls.. . . Work, work, throw 'em off the rolls. That's the key."
Nixon - whose presidency included support for affirmative action and naming an African American to a cabinet post - then says he has "the greatest affection for" African Americans, but "they're not going to make it for 500 years."
Then he turns to Mexicans.
"The Mexicans are a different cup of tea," the president says. "They have a heritage. At the present time they steal, they're dishonest. They do have some concept of family life, they don't live like a bunch of dogs, which the Negroes do live like."
The conversation then turns to gays in general.
"I don't mind the homosexuality, I understand it," Nixon says. "Nevertheless. . .I don't think you glorify it on public television."
Nixon goes on to say that homosexuality destroyed the Greeks. "Sure, Aristotle was a homo, we all know that; so was Socrates," the president can be heard saying on the tape.
"But he never had the influence television had," Ehrlichman says, apparently referring to Socrates.
Nixon continues, saying the "last six Roman emperors were fags.. . . You know what happened to the Popes? They [had sex with] the nuns, that's been going on for years, centuries. But the Catholic church went to hell three or four centuries ago. It was homosexual, and it had to be cleaned out. That's what's happened to Britain, it happened earlier to France."
He then says that strong societies such as Russia "root 'em out. They don't let 'em around at all."
"Homosexuality, dope, immorality are the enemies of strong societies," Nixon says. "That's why the Communists and left-wingers are clinging to one another. They're trying to destroy us."
Who has a diaper? Pampers 6?
You sure are clever!
I think the real reason these guys don't do shit is because they are just waiting until va pulls the plug on them, and go out of business.
They are probably on monster.com all day long looking for new jobs. as if being a slashdot editor is a real job at all.
Jxta rhymes with Hucksta.
