June 30, 2000: MP3 Summit Ian at MP3 Summit webcast You can find Ian's hour long talk at the MP3 Summit about 1 hour 8 minutes into the Wednesday webcast.
May 27, 2000: LA Weekly Genie 1, Bottle 0 Very amusing article on Freenet and copyright. Highly recommended.
May 24, 2000: Channel 4 News Hackers stay one step ahead A very cool news item talking about recent attempts by the British government to censor the Internet and how Freenet will make this very difficult. Includes text and streaming video of the item.
May 23, 2000: Libération L'anarchie est au bout du clavier An interesting French article about Freenet, concentrating on the freedom of information aspects of the system rather than just copyright.
May 12, 2000: National Post Napster secured page in Internet history Interesting description of why Freenet is not vulnerable in the same way that Napster is, although I must say that their "final thought" is slightly perplexing!
May 12, 2000: O'Reilly Network Gnutella and Freenet represent true technological innovation A nice article concentrating, for a change, on the technical side of Freenet and Gnutella. Reasonably accurate, although it understates the efficiency improvement that Freenet should provide (describing it as of comparable efficiency to the WWW where it should be much more efficient).
April 16, 2000: Freshmeat Client As Server: The New Model An interesting article discussing distributed systems and how systems like Freenet are actually in a similar spirit to the original Internet.
April 10, 2000: Slashdot.org FreeNet's Ian Clarke Answers Privacy Questions A very informative interview conducted by the readership of SlashDot.org, probably the closest thing to a FAQ, aside from our faq.
March 25, 2000: ABC News Freedom on the Net? A rehash of the New Scientist article below, but likely to reach a much larger audience.
March 25, 2000: New Scientist Out of control A "big bad Internet"-style article, but it is reasonably well researched and seeks the opinions of those who might be considered Freenet's opposition.
March 14, 2000: OLinux Freenet, a polemic concept to deal with WWW An English translation of a Brazilian interview with Ian Clarke. Focuses on the technical aspects of Freenet, and goes into a reasonable amount of detail as to how the system works.
March 10, 2000: WebwereldAnoniem Freenet ultieme schuilplaats voor piraten A Dutch article on Freenet. My Dutch is a little rusty but it looks like it is primarily inspired by the Wired article below.
February 24, 2000: PigDog Journal Get in on the Ground Floor of Freedom A very positive little article describing Freenet and why they think it is interesting using some rather "colorful" language.
August 14, 1999: Brave Gnu WorldFreeNET One of the first articles about Freenet back when it was 100% theory. Still an excellent introduction to the way Freenet works.
Sure, if you're scanning a dozen fingerprints. If you scan one million fingerprints, on average 100000 will be falsely rejected. That's too much for me.
Hey slashdot editors! I know you are busy, and maybe that's why you thought interviewing Mike Sklut would be a great idea. This was a very bad idea. So I thought I would try and be productive. Here is a list of people who are of the right caliber to merit an interview (that is to say, try interviewing great folk like this FIRST before wasting your time and ours on Mike Sklut):
(from the 1999 Free Software Award Nominee page)
1.Tom Adelstein
2.Eric Allman
3.Lennart Augustsson
4.Stig Bakken
5.Donald Becker
6.Brian Behlendorf
7.Tim Berners-Lee -- inventor of the World Wide Web
Granted, some of these have been covered already, but maybe a handful at the most. I must confess to maybe knowing who 10% of these people are. I would sure like to know something about the rest of them. Just imagine all the cool stuff each of these people has to offer--why in the world are we looking to interview inflamatory, damaging people like JP?
Just trying to help:-) I figure 80 some odd suggestions should keep you busy for a while.
Recognition accuracy:
False Rejection rate is 0.01% False Acceptance rate is 10-9 Fingerprints are stored as templates that cannot be used to regenerate fingerprint images, thus eliminating any threat to personal privacy.
If not, they should. DSL is up to five times faster than conventional dial-up phone lines. With Speakeasy's free fawking DSL, you'll be able to piss off Polly for free!
I am curious which Internet access provider Steve Mann and his team will be providing for his wearable computers. Fast Internet access isn't something which can be taken lightly in today's world of e-commerce and 64MB multimedia files.

So sorry.
Excuse me?

I am curious which Internet access provider Steve Mann and his team will be providing for his wearable computers. Fast Internet access isn't something which can be taken lightly in today's world of e-commerce and 64MB multimedia files.
What could be better than broadband for this purpose? With broadband, you'll be able to view highly graphical versions of pages and the most powerful lamp in the world. What more do you want?
Speakeasy has a solution:
Do you click on Fawking DSL advertisements?
