Mathematical Analysis of Gnutella
jrp2 sent in a paper written by one of Napster's founding engineers. It is
a mathematical evaluation of Gnutella discussing
why the network won't be able to scale up to any reasonable size. I
have been impressed with Gnutella in the past, and have wondered along
these same lines in the past.
Napster: Sucks ass.
Gnutella: Doesn't scale.
(Mod my ass as Flamebait for this, but didn't everyone know about Gnutella's scaling problems, and for-pay Napster sucking ass, based on Slashdot stories months and weeks before today?)
Heh...somehow I read the title as "Mathematical Analysis of Guatemala", since this article has been posted before and Slashdot never posts anything twice.
This space intentionally left blank.
Wow, that's the biggest load of steaming bullshit I've come across in quite some time.
Tonight on Dateline: Dangerous computer hacker terrorists steal your files by... um, you sharing them on the Gnutella network like a fucking moron...
what would be funny is if an economist worked on the gnutella project, and they wrote up a paper on how the new napster business model would never succeed.
or maybe only i would find that funny.

I have one, but there isn't enough room in the margin here to write it down...
Heaven forbid that the /. staff should pack those braincells with friends, family and life rather than the last 24 months of ~= 10 submissions a day! Man, I'm gunna start modding these 'yawn, been there done that' posts as redundant!
