NETI@Home to Examine Net's Strengths
UnresolvedExternal writes "Wired is reporting about Georgia Tech researchers who want thousands of computer users to install their program to help them monitor traffic patterns on the Internet. They plan to use the data to strengthen the Net and unblock bottlenecks."

If it comes with a cool screensaver and can help find extraterrestrial intelligence, I'm in.

Gee, sounds like gator got into academics.

Maybe it can battle SETI@HOME, Kazaa, and Norton Antivirus for all of my CPU cycles, disk bandwidth and network bandwidth. It will not even leave me enough power to compose all my correspondence in notepad.
Don't just give those cycles away! Sell them!

Arggh Its every geeks worst scheduling nightmare! Do I want the aliens or the faster pr0n. Dang what a scheduling conflict.
SETI is great and conjures images of space.
NETI delves the inner resources of your nose.
Researchers at Georgia Tech are concluding their two-year distributed analysis of network usage, concluding that most bottlenecks were, in fact, caused by NETI@Home traffic.
Internet traffic composition:
49.7% 0
49.7% 1
00.6% Other
In a joint venture with the pr0n industry Jenna creates a network dedicated to increasing the pr0n industry 10 fold.
They want to figure out how to make the Internet faster and more reliable, but to do that they need to gather data from tens of thousands of personal computers around the world.
So, they want to make it faster by having people send out and receive more data.
Why is that a troll? Sheesh.
Anyway, I've got to find a way to spoof results so that the lines closest to me appear to be the bottleneck. That way, there will be more money spent on improving my connection, right?
Be wary of any facts that confirm your opinion.
Where's YETI@HOME? How can we ever hope to find all the lost Yetis?
ahh... here it is:

You web browser is using CPU time. Hurry up and close it before it wastes any more!
I'm doing research into the traffic patterns of large hairy animals named Bigfoot. I'm calling it YETI@home.
My hypothesis is that Yeti is really CowboyNeal.
If they really want to help end bottlenecks on the net, then make a smaller download!
I am all in favor of a project that attempts to find intelligent life on the Internet.
That's "Mr. Soulless Automaton" to you, Bub.
