I program in Java because both for it's platform independence and for the fact that if you sign a Java applet and embed it in a web page you are pretty much able to do whatever a fully-fledged Java application could do, like access the full file system.
I know of no other platform that allows you to write true "web apps" that can rival the stand-alone ones.
A main difference between FT and Gnutella is that the node-supernode relationship is determined by a central server in FT, but in Gnutella I would assume that a node would have to make that decision for itself.
True, KaZaA and MusicCity are different companies, but FastTrack (the same folks over at KaZaA) develop the FastTrack p2p "stack", which is what MusicCity and Grokster license. That's why the three look so similar. It's because all they do is add their graphics to the gui and redirect the software to hook up to their own central server. If KaZaA is changed to comply, the stack will change, and MusicCity will have to change Morpheus as well or else be blocked from the network.

Our computers are binary, so the hard drives that we put in them should be measured using the binary (Base-2) representation.
Build me a microprocessor containing transistors that switch between 10 different voltage levels before you continue with your Base-10 tomfoolery.
