Why Freenet is Complicated (or not)

JohnBE writes "'This article is primarily a friendly rebuttal to Steven Hazel's CodeCon 2002 talk entitled "libfreenet: a case study in horrors incomprehensible to the mind of man, and other secure protocol design mistakes". Hazel presents the Freenet protocol as an overly complicated, self designed crypto layer. In fact, though somewhat complicated, literally every step in the protocol was carefully thought out to resist certain attacks and to increase certain properties desirable for Freenet operators and the network as a whole.' Interesting in light of Peek-a-booty, this article covers many of the issues involved with creating a anonymous P2P system."

What a great opportunity for you to stop resting on your laurels and learn something then.

Java sucks and I'll prove it.

Java is slower than C, yet less powerful than C++.

Java is portible but so is C#, C, C++.

Java currently doesnt seem to be a match for C#, Java is ok, but i have yet to see a successful project written in java.
