P2P Content Delivery for Open Source
Orasis writes "The Open Content Network is a collaborative effort to help deliver open source, public domain, and Creative Commons-licensed content using peer-to-peer technology. The network is essentially a huge 'virtual web server' that links together thousands of computers for the purpose of helping out over-burdened/slashdotted web sites. Any existing mirror or web site can easily join the OCN by tweaking the HTML on their site."

I for one can not wait until the golden age of computing, an age in which my computer will be inexplicity linked to that of every script kiddie from Taiwan to San Jose. This will be a stunning monument to the ingenuity of man. There will be a great many personal homepages replaced with vivid images of genitalia and beer bottles. What a wonderous age it will be.

And the amazing thing is, they're 100% as crappy as they were on television!

It turns my cable modem into a 2400 baud acoustic. The nostalgia wears off quickly.
