Peercast: Peer-to-Peer Streaming

    Interesting how slashdot posts this when they didn't post the story of Gene Kan, one of the original gnutella coders, being found dead.

    I guesse the priorities are getting new software and not paying respect to coder who's contributions help us fight the good fight.

      An actual link to the story about late Gene Kan might have nicer than just mentioning how no one has mentioned it. It took literally five seconds with Google and wasn't even vitrol-powered.

      I don't think this is terribly off-topic, as Gnutella is one of the reasons we're at this story, after all.

      well Gene kan wrote software that was very important to alot of slashdot users, wether he died by his own hand or not slashdot is not being a proper 'geek' news source by not mentioning what happened to an important figure.
