I just got off dialpad, let me tell you that they're more than a little ticked with you right now...I know I've been helping with your little 'project' so they're a little angry, but I haven't gotten rid of the database or the ai scripts yet. There's a possibility they'll listen, just calm down, go tke a walk, whatever. Don't blow this, man, come back to the sid...
I would call that a failure in the concept, but that's just me. For some *constructive* criticism, let's say that they should implement something where if your D/L gets cut off, the program should automatically search for an exact filename/size/md5 match from another individual and then resume from them.
First off, when you're naming you're connection in napster, There AIN'T NO SUCH THING as a 56k modem. You upload at 33.6, so don't even bother. Just put it down as a 14.4 and the rest of us LPB's will go elsewhere. Second. Don't share Britney. Share something noone else has heard yet. If you share britney, you deserve all the teeneagers suckling your connection that you get.
The simple answer is that you could never ban trolls, as everyone would eventually go in the end. Think about how many serious arguments erupt over simple things like whether the GPL or the BSD is the better freeware license. Sooner or later someone will snap and begin trolling based on things like that (although I consider freeware licensing far too easy to troll, it's such low fruit). How many regular joe posters get marked down as flamebait or troll because they got hot under the collar. That's almost everyone at some point, and if not then I think you're maybe kissing a little too much ass to be taken seriously anyway. And you're right. The trolls(I'm not talking about the ascii-kiddies) do start probably half the intelligent conversation, keep the joes from making themselves out to be all that from time to time, and often serve to entertain. You'd have as much chance getting them off/. as you would off USENET.
Ok, so your nameserver might be a tad slower so what? Are you kidding? On most days it takes longer to look up the name on my cable modem than it does to load the page. There was a period in time when my dialup ISP got so overloaded that they had people switch the DNS order just to take some of it off the primary name server. That would suck a royal goat-ass!
Also... weren't you/not/ supposed to have the acronym within it's own definition? You're right. However see recursion for an example of how we get away with it.
Technically we all have Microsoft's gpl'ed software. But that's besides the point. I think http://Microsoft.gpl would be a great place to distribute it all without their permission.
Interesting, when I first viewed the page I couldn't see that email address. Probably something to do with the <'s or something.
Thats pretty funny, and to think I just got my email adress (yes it's real)today and was so proud of it. I guess I'll go hang out back under the bridge now or something:-)

Right now, there is only one dot-com domain (and net TLD, now generally used as a second-class .com). Aren't you forgetting someone???
