The Troposphere is the layer of the atmosphere that we exist in, and makes up about 75% of the total atmosphere. The 'Ozone' layer or the Stratosphere is above it.

This is cool, especially since the Internet is such a large community, you have a higher number of peers (as compared to Internet2).
I think it would be just as legitimate to have an Apache module based on Logistical Networking. Maybe a mesh of both aspects, fixed plus peer to peer, could prove beneficial.
Until then, I think bittorrent-fueled downloads from web servers will be very cool.
I really think this is BS. If the application did something that product management did not intend, NOR was it something that was in the product specification, then how the hell did it make it by quality assurance?!
I didn't even know who Apple Corps. were before they decided to sue Apple Computer. But it's not just me, you can ask anyone! Just walk up to someone on the street and ask them what company they think of when you say the word 'Apple'.
Can't different entities in different hemispheres of business share copyrights? Maybe I'm phrasing that incorrectly.
All this discussion is great and I think that it's good that we're aware of what's happening, but I think it's about time to stop getting pissed off by the actions that government takes and start to DO something about it.
Would you rather bitch and wait around for the axe to fall, or take the energy you're spending and do something (hopefully) constructive? Write your state Senator and Representatives and remind them what a fscking nutcase Orrin Hatch is (unless you're really a fan of that bass-ackwards right wing freak) and what alternatives they can seek in lieu of computer destruction.
There are many other tactics that can be taken to somehow prevent file sharing. Tougher penalties, ISP intervention, establishment of a fair pay system for music/movies (ala iTMS) that doesn't rip off the consumer (to be honest, I don't want the government involved in my commerce, but it's just a suggestion) or maybe VOTE THOSE REPUBLICAN MORONS OUT of office.
I've thought about this many times, of all it's good and also very bad implications, but if there were an act or law that required software companies to fully disclose all files installed/modified/deleted by their software (or face prosecution) would it prevent the viral nature of spyware? And more importantly, would it increase the amount of security on home computers that are 'infected' by this software?
For example, a piece of spyware that includes a p2p sort of function, for acting as a node or supernode in a larger network, gets installed somehow (like how this annoying toolbar installs itself). Someone in the security (white or black hat, take your pick) field finds an exploit in this spyware and either a.) produces a worm/virus/trojan that takes clear advantage of this exploit to pull of a massive DDoS attack (if possible, mind you) or b.) publishes the report, and then some other party creates their own worm/virus/trojan.
I know the sky is not falling, but is that a viable possibility in the future? Could spyware just be opening the door for something even worse?
That's all I could imagine they would be offering. Their website states "up to 50,000 games" which, unless they're talking about tetris clones and side-scrolling platformers coded in the space of 10 minutes a piece, would have to be currently existing games.
Many emulators for a long time have featured some sort of multiplayer support via a LAN connection.
The real question is, if it is an emulator machine, what is a reasonable price tag, and what kind of interest is there in the marketplace? I mean, I love playing old NES games, but it's not the same playing them on my PC with a third-party controller -- I like playing them on my old NES with an NES controller.
This is a good point, but I think that instead of excluding them they should be put in their own section (Mods/OC/Enthusiast) and then that way people can customize their/. prefs to exclude those stories if they so choose. They aren't as enlightened as you make yourself out to be, sure, but they're still nerds, just like you and me.
True, I switched from Nextel to AT&T, and even though my monthly rate is cheaper (Roughly $40) I'm on a 2 year contract, and my off-peak time doesn't start until 9pm, even on Fridays which is right before the weekend period (which is also off-peak). Not to mention, I pay.10 cents per text-message, which adds up little by little (unless I want to pay an additional $5 for 100 text messages).
I believe though that it's cheaper than the UK, where text messages are 10p per text (Roughtly.15 cents per message, based on Orange's rates.)

Probably get a different ISP. If you just want to serve web pages, you could always set up your web server to listen on a different port, like 8080 for example.
I can't ever fully agree with it. I think that idealistically it's a good idea, but in all practicality, it never works out as intended. N2H2 has basically bent over anyhow. Last I heard they were going out of business, and it's their own fault too. They flooded the market with content filtering software and they should have to take that in the ass.

Why is a story about some dude's wang even on here? There is barely a shred of tech relevance to it!
All I know is that if I were said dude and stories of my sizeable junk were all over the news, I would be high-fiving everyone I saw.

I don't expect to see this outlast any of the other 'internet' computers (except the iMac).
No, but I was just waiting for Elrond to say "Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson."
