Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the duct-taping-together-the-next-generation-of-p2p dept.

AntiPasto writes "According to this Yahoo! News article, RSS and BitTorrent could be set to join in a best-of-both-worlds content management system for the net. Possible?" Update: 03/17 21:39 GMT by T : Thanks to Steve Gillmor, here's the original story on eWeek to replace the now-dead Yahoo! link.

  1. Yeah, like anyone will use torrent for that by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    What I'm waiting for is IRC/torrent servers. Combining the "underground" feeling of both for the ultimate in distributed piracy.

    In opposite to *.torrent, RSS is human readable. People will stop using BT.

    What does "flipping someone off" mean?

      It means pointing your fist towards someone, with your own palm towards yourself, and extending your middle finger so that it extends straight up into the air with the fingernail pointing at your subject.

      The most literal meaning is 'Fuck you'. Good for passive aggressive situations where you're going to either be running or driving away very fast and thus do not have to deal with a real confrontation.

    Keiko, of Free Willy fame, buried in secret ceremony

    OSLO, NORWAY - The killer whale star of the "Free Willy" movies has been buried in a ceremony in Norway that was kept secret from the public and the media.

    Keiko died last Friday in a Norwegian bay, where his team had been trying to reintroduce him to the wild. His handlers say the likely cause of death was the onset of pneumonia.

    One of Keiko's caretakers says he's probably the most "famous being" that was ever buried so quietly. He says Keiko's handlers wanted him to "be at peace" -- and wanted to avoid a media circus.

    Aegisthus
    Found in Italy in 250 with goats.
    This is from De Bello Gothico, bk II, ch XVII, quoted by Tylor in Anthropological Review. The picture of Germany after the French invasion forms an apt parallel to the picture of Italy during the invasion of the Goths, in which the historian Procopius tells, as a startling instance of the horrors of the war, a story which belongs to the category before us, and is very likely true as a matter of fact. An infant, left by its mother, was found by a she-goat which suckled and took care of it. When the survivors came back to their deserted homes they found the child living with its adopted mother, and called it Aegisthus. Procopius says that he was there and saw the child himself.

    Andes boy
    Found in the Peruvian Andes in 1990 after spending 8 years with goats.
    A boy was found in the Andes, Peru, in 1990, and was said to have been raised by goats for eight years. He is supposed to have survived by drinking their milk, and eating roots and berries. After being found, he was investigted by a team from Kansas University (presumably, The University of Kansas rather than Kansas State University).

    Annonymous Coward
    Raised by dirty Linux hippies
    As far as we can deterimine his sad story, Annonymous Coward was kicked out of the house by his father when he could no longer feed him after his job was shipped to India. Coward was found by a Unix sysadmin while dumpster-diving for old pizza crusts. The sysadmin took little Coward back to his nest, where they lived in abject squalor and the other linux hippies of the pack subjected him to severe anal abuse. Annonymous Coward was found and rescued after eight years, when he was caught stealing defective sex toys from the dumpster behind Big Als Gaytorium. Coward was covered in lice-ridden filthy hair and did not posses even the most rudimentary social graces. Specialists at Bethesda naval hospital are using advanced deprogramming techniques developed for the MK-l337 program with some minor success. It is hoped that he can at least be socialized enough to use a Mac.
