basically there's a constant change, I wanted to point out, at the moment it's changing to "My IP is my castle"
You would need to develop a new protocol, at the moment, someone could connect to your private network with just one other host from outside...
THERE, we got problems like good'ol grandma:
"Don't tell this anyone else" -> "No, no, all Hosts I have here are secure."
Why not just switch to FreeNet? That would address the caching problem too, it was designed upon caching.
Remember that there's a big bandwith waste, ping-pongs and push requests take up way too much.
Whenever a client connects to another host, it sends a ping to receive other host-addresses, this ping is broadcasted to all other hosts (until the TTL expires) and every host replies with a pong, thus creating a vast amount of traffic. Even worse, the original gnutella-client sent periodically a ping for some reason... (remember that weekend with the 0.59 gnutella? the TTL was decrased before being checked for 0, gnutella sent packets with 255 TTL!)
The ping issue got already addressed and the clients should most of the time just listen to the pongs, that's enough already...
-- That aside, the cash they're offering is peanuts. 10K is about UK£7000; I know people that can earn that in a month.
10K are peanuts, but as a kiddie that wants to "make money fast" you just have to win this competition and through the publicity you'll get a cool job and make more than 10K per month.
there's not much to think about from the kiddies point of view, not all peoples are idealists just like you and me and some other/.ers. And I wouldn't be THAT idealistic if I knew how to crack it!
However I agree that a kiddie won't stop after three weeks, so releasing the code afterwards produces at least as much publicity, let's hope they made a fairly good protection that will take some time to crack:]
I'll be the first on line when someone decides to come out with a PDA with the Transmeta chip and linux to boot.
Right so, me too! But I would like to see a larger screen, good RAM, some gigs of storage, a DVD-Player, good Audio-Output, a Keyboard, an eye steered mice in there too (i'm talking about a sub-notebook:)
About what 1 W in Transmetas or Intels speech means, I've got a little explanation:
The Crusoe consumes 1W while decoding and playing an MP3. Where Intel needs an 95% idle-rate to get below 1W. Thus, you can at maximum type some text (no images, looser!) on a "low-power"-pentium. Decoding a DVD, the crusoe just needs about 1.8 W.
No, it's worse, intel "forgot" about the Northbridge, while it is included in the 1W of the Crusoe, a normal BX Chipset for the P consumes at least 2W constantly. say, to play an mp3, an Intel P would need approximately 6W!!!
Again: There's no native mode, or it's not funny to toy with 5 RISC-commands or so. As linux is tweaked toward the x86 area, why not just use this platform?
Hope transmeta lasts long enough to make its vision a standard for future CPUs. It would be really cool to see a java-microcode, oooooooh THAT would rock! But there, why not allow different opcodes per process? May a process load it's own opcode-module if he wish so!
Slashdot Mirror
This is just another directory service, I couldn't see anything new, only the items were randomly placed on the page: wohaaa.
Why do people always create new shit when there's good stuff like Everything2.net available?
I hate "HTML Formatted" and Preview sucks!

Read about this here (in german).
READ THE SPEC, ALWAYS, EVERYTIME, AGAIN, NO FEAR -> (i'm outta here because i'm getting lazy too, ever read an intel spec? No?)Again: There's no native mode, or it's not funny to toy with 5 RISC-commands or so. As linux is tweaked toward the x86 area, why not just use this platform?
