  1. use emule. on Australian Court says Kazaa Users Breach Copyright · · Score: 1

    You are so wrong.

    Riaa is sueing and warning emule users. It just is not that high-profile. There are more emule users than kazaa in the world. In the USA emule is relatively less popular.

    If the anonymisation is done by proxying over more hops it is inherent slower. A faster speed can be reached by direct uploading. Note that uploadcapacity is sparse. Caching does not help get a higher upload. Motivating users to give more upload might help however.

    Is there a working search in freenet? or are there still only proposals?

  2. Freenet is slow. use emule. on Australian Court says Kazaa Users Breach Copyright · · Score: 3, Informative

    Freenet is slow. And i am not talking about the developemnt cycle (if you are on the unstable branche you would think it goes very fast). I am talking about the download speed.

    That is because the freenet was developed for anonymisation, not for file exchange. That is, freenet is good against compagnies that sue their own customers.

    If you want to leave kazaa because it future is doomed because their next client will/should contain copyright restrictions (I am sure there wil be lots of trolls here that say you can not determine this, true, but flaimbait) you might want to switch to emule ,an open source client without any spyware, that does provide search (where is the search button in freenet?)

    If you live in fear because ou think some compagny might sue you because of copyright violations please use freenet. But you might get afraid they capture you for aiding terrorist/childporn. Don't worrie you will never get such charges get uphold by a court, (if you get there).

  5. because of lock in. on Trusted Computing And You · · Score: 5, Interesting

    As bruce pointed out MS might have an own agenda.

    I think this is a reason:

    TC faq

    The second, and most important, benefit for Microsoft is that TC will dramatically increase the costs of switching away from Microsoft products (such as Office) to rival products (such as OpenOffice). For example, a law firm that wants to change from Office to OpenOffice right now merely has to install the software, train the staff and convert their existing files. In five years' time, once they have received TC-protected documents from perhaps a thousand different clients, they would have to get permission (in the form of signed digital certificates) from each of these clients in order to migrate their files to a new platform. The law firm won't in practice want to do this, so they will be much more tightly locked in, which will enable Microsoft to hike its prices.

    And what is causing the spin-down? Is it friction against empty space?
    If it is gravitation from other bodies? I would think this would affect the entire earth, not just the outer part of the earth(you can not shield gravitation. )

    You can say that tidal friction causes this, but wouldn't the same gravity of the moon create tides in the flowing lava?

  17. however Re:You can already tell on Reputation System Fights P2P Junk · · Score: 1

    except that a lot of downloaders are too lazy to remove the fakes from their downloads (as seen on kazaa) so the fakes come from all over internet. It get even worse for files you cannot determine their validity during the download. They are availabel from the peers that share only a small part of the file.

    ip filtering is a loosing battle.

    However this credence thing will only be useful if a large enough percentage of the users uses this. And even then credence can be discredited (on a limited scale) by voting robots.
