Gnutella is horrible. The design just sucks and honestly i could have come up with a better design for a network.
Gnutella is practically useless unless you have a broadband modem.
The benifits to using gnutella vs fasttrack are what?
Gnutella in order to be faster would have to be more centralized.
Fast track is more centralized and is similar to gnutella.
IF i were morpheus i'd use fast track until i can come up with a new peer to peer technology of my own.
Gnutella is flawed by design, Fast track is / was flawed by design. The best designs so far have been the WinMX design which works very well, the audio galaxy design seems to work very well,
I dont know, i like decentralized technology but Gnutella is horrible, theres no security (or maybe they finally fixed this?) meaning anyone can see your IP.
Its slow as hell, the design makes it difficult if not impossible to scale.
I'd rather connect to hundreds of small networks and search them all at once, than connect to one big gnutella style network.
Programmers dont want bloated code, users of the program want big powerful apps. Thats why we have photoshops and netscapes and the like.
With media based apps and media editing, and file sharing its just going to keep raising the bar.
As far as ram, ram speed and harddrive speed are two off the main bottlenecks of a PC, raise the speed of ram, and the speed of the harddrive, have about 16 megs of L2 cache, you'll have a fast computer if the ram is feeding data to the cpu at about 6gigs per second, the CPU displays to the screen instantly, everything would be instantanious, bloated code or not, programs the size of windows will load instantly hell your machine will boot instantly, add a 64bit cpu and you'll be able to edit huge files, add scsi raid and you'll have the transfer rates needed to handle it, and for file sharing on your fibre optic line downloadinng hundreds of gigs a week, your 10 terrabyte drive wont last very long.
Sure this PC may be a few years away, but this PC will be the average PC of a power user within 3 years.
The speed of your ram is the problem, the harddrive wont grind iff you have gigs of ram and you are using a scsi raid system unless your ram is just slow.
so if your system is fast, why is netscape slow ? Fact is its not a good example of a slow program, nautilus is a good example of a slow program.
Little has changed because theres a monopoly, Things wont change unless you make changes, join the open source movement and develop something new.
I'll tell you how i'd use the CPU, automation, AI, and stuff like that to make my computer do self healing,to make it solve problems, to the point where i can tell it to find information on say, star trek episode 10 and it automatically opens netscape in the backround runs a few search algorithms and looks for information for my research.
Well the normal could do fine with a pentium 200 and 64 megs of ram.
64bit is for the power user, people who want gigs of ram, huge harddrives, people who trade media like dvd movies, who edit movies, who play games, who run alot of programs at the same time, or who just want more speed, they want state of the art.
When you start doing file sharing by the gigs, and yes you will with a fast machine and you want to handle those files, you'll have problems when your machine can only handle certain file sizes.
More bits also means programs can do stuff like encode big files faster.
Subscribe to the mandrake club. Alot of people claim to support open source but only a few thousand seem to be putting their money where their mouth is. Theres mandrake club, theres transgaming, and plenty of other ways to fund development of open source.
Leaves mailing lists of programmers arguing for days at a time. Thats why KDE is ahead of Gnome, Gnome programmers are too busy fighting why kde is coding
After you finish Mono is the goal to make it a clone of.Net, or make something better. If technology is the purpose, whys compatibility so important????? Mono is sounding alot like Wine.
However X works. For a desktop OS, X isnt really the best setup, for a network system X is great.
My opinion would be build something superior to X, make it backward compatible with all of the important stuff, and you'll be all set.
However i dont see you or anyone else funding the Berlin project, i dont see any of you trying to donate, I dont see berlin trying to accept Donations transgaming style. Maybe if they accepted Donations like transgaming we all could pay 5 bucks a month to have berlin be upgraded.
QT is nice, GTK is nice, the problem isnt the power its the fact that its too hard to use. We need to bring it all together, maybe Mono will do this but if it doesnt, we need to make some kinda standard.
Sims wouldnt be the most popular game. Linux would have thousands of gamers out of the millions of users (currently it doesnt judging from the failure of Loki and and the subscribers of transgaming) Theres only a few thousand Linux gamers.
Most Windows gamers play games like mech warrior, solitar, the sims and flight simulator.
These are casual users. 80 percent of computer users play games. Which means people buy computers to play games.
The thing we have to do is stop reinventing the wheel over and over again. Every, how many ICQ programs do we need? How many browsers do we need?
We should have it setup so your programs can be plugged into other programs. You make a browser and i can plug your browser into my program, plug kwords word proccess for email, plug icq button and gaim button into it etc.
Windows has Components, Linux has bonobo which obviously isnt doing a good job, also we need some kinda built in repository for code.
In installing files in linux. RPMs suck, Tars suck. Until Windows files install like mac IE you download it, and some script auto installs it,its just going to be too complicated.
The security was compremised when the location and its exsistance were revealed.
If you want something to be secure, then dont announce it. Dont even say it exsists, put the samples in some super secret underground base that no one knows about and send scientists into it, if an accident happens, nuke the underground base killing all the lifeforms
That we may find a form of life which simply cannot be classified by anything we have ever seen on earth. What do we do if this happens?
People expect to go on other planets and find the same lifeforms you see on earth, bacteria, and mammals, and so on, what if you find a lifeform thats unlike anything, like a gas or liquid based lifeform, or something just totally weird.
Since its on Mars, theres no telling what kinda lifeforms you may find. We should be very careful, just because the lifeforms in our ocean and on our earth are simple, does not mean what we find on mars will be.
Second, are we even looking? The only way we will know if theres life on mars and i say this all the time, is to drill. drill several miles into the ground and see if theres water. If there is, you could have a whole ocean of life down there and for all we know it could be intelligent. If not, well then we may not find anytihng but sand, but until Nasa decides to check we wont find anything.
Why dont they release in one big file

I hate having to download and install 23092039 diffrent files, ill never update gnome.
They float around, usually about rural areas. They usually dont draw much attention, and would be perfect for something like this. Besides unlike ballons they wont explode, burn up, or any other unpredictable situation which can happen with a balloon.

If this law passes all of our computers will be rendered illegal or at
least new stuff.
Innovation will be stiffled forever.
Linux itself will be illegal.
The computer and all electronics will be ruined.
Blame the programmer or blame the motherboard?

ok so injecting more flies into the problem does what?
Why not just use our alien technology developed at Area51?

Java is slower than C, yet less powerful than C++.
Java is portible but so is C#, C, C++.
Java currently doesnt seem to be a match for C#, Java is ok, but i have yet to see a successful project written in java.
