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."

    • (Hebrew, kapparah). In Judaism: Reconciliation with God. According to Jewish belief, human sin damages the relationship with God and only the process of atonement can restore it. According to biblical teaching, sacrifice was the outer form of atonement (Leviticus 5), provided human beings also purified themselves spiritually (eg Isaiah I. 11-17). In Christianity: In Christian theology, atonement is the reconciliation ('at-one-ment') of men and women to God through the death of Christ. The word was introduced by W. Tyndale in 1526, to translate reconciliatio'. The need for such reconciliation is already apparent in the Old Testament: in

  5. Who Cares If People Use m$ by Halvy · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    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.
