Completing BitTorrent Decentralization
Njaal writes "With BitTorrent going trackerless, searching for and distributing .torrent files is a natural next step. The Socialized.Net (TSN) is a pure P2P search infrastructure which facilitates P2P searching and distribution of .torrent files. It comes complete with an Azureus (and Firefox) search plugin. TSN is written in Python and is made available under the GPL. Note that this is part of my PhD thesis, and is as such meant as a technology demonstrator."
Is it just me, or is General Grievous a moron?
General Grievous is an overrated mediocrity, just like Boba Fett.
Yeah your missing something alright... RTFM! HowTO install for FIREFOX: 1. Download http://www.socialized.net/files/WindowsInstaller.z ip
Then run it and install all the things it asks you to.
2. Go down to firefox search area at http://www.socialized.net/files.html and click on
Installation is done by opening [this link] from the Firefox web browser.
3. Top right, press on the list of search tools, select the purplish circle things and do a search.
4. JOIN THE NEIGHBORHOOD!
Huh? [devShell.org]
That's their problem. I mean I feel bad for the grunt workers in IT, but as long as corps or individual owners care more about money than whats down the road, then they deserved to get hit with a truck (linux).
I only blame myself for all the years I put off going to unix (linux). Everybody out there knows there are very good alternatives to the proven monopoly, m$.
I dont' try and preach unless I'm asked to, because m$ people dont' care (about anything but themselves usually, after all this is a cultural thing for sure).
I am getting ready to get involved with projects like Wine which will probably be the type of programming that will be the final death-nil to m$.
The War (should not be) on how we can convert those that dont' want to be converted, but against a company which has cost untold amounts of money, frustration and time for those involved with it at ever level since it's inception.
m$ is not only bad for business, it is bad for just about everything else on the earth, because it stifles freedom, cooperation and technological advances for The People.
It is this m$ *philosophy* of sitting back, knowing that all (almost litteraly) pc's sold *HAVE TO HAVE* their piece-oh-trash os installed (by legal agreements), that is at the heart of what us earthinks need to counter with a better alternative.
If that aint' commie-ism, what is.
-- dont' hate me cuz i'm ugly.
I will gladly loose all of life's battles.. in order to win the war..
