  1. Coral CDN on Microsoft Wants P2P Avalanche to Crush BitTorrent · · Score: 1

    Coral relies heavily on a modified DHT for indexing and clustering.

    It currently serves >1TB per day from systems all over the planet

  2. Re:Suggestions welcome, really, please on Top University Rankings for 2004 Released · · Score: 1

    I also found the abuse of drugs and alcohol to be relatively low. It exists, but it's not hard to avoid if you're not into that.


    You didn't spend much time near Taft, Smith, Cutler or any of the CIA/CIM Dorms did ya....

  3. This is just one of 100,000 DirecTV Lawsuits on $180 Million for Piracy Conspiracy · · Score: 2, Interesting

    This is just one more in a long line of extortion suits DirecTV has been filing over the past few months. They have sent out lawsuit threats to over 100,000 end users who in many cases have done nothing more than purchase an ISO Standard Smart Card reader.

    Basically they offer a settlement for $4000 or they take you to federal court. So far almost 7000 people have had federal civil cases filed.

    The whole process is self perpetuating. Most people can't afford to defend a federal case so they can use the settlement cash to take the rest to court.

  4. Re:Yeah....and? on RIAA Warns Individual Swappers · · Score: 1

    Oh yea, just look at what DirecTV has been pulling over the past few months. They have sent out lawsuit threats to over 100,000 end users who in many cases have done nothing more than purchase an ISO Standard Smart Card reader.

    Basically they offer a settlement for $4000 or they take you to federal court. So far almost 7000 people have had federal civil cases filed.

    Remember the whole process is self perpetuating. Most people can't afford to defend a federal case so they can use the settlement cash to take the rest to court.
