My goal in creating this program is not to facilitate copyright infringement. I do not condone copyright infringement. Nothing about the program's design is optimized for the sharing of infringing files. The program is useful mainly as a proof of concept. A more practical program would be faster, more secure, and more resilient against failure. But that would require a few more lines of code!
Just because it can be done, doesn't mean you should.
Dr. Edward Felten recently posted a piece of code called TinyP2P, which demonstrates how easy it is to create a peer-to-peer filesharing application by doing it in just 15 lines of Python. However, TinyP2P uses a ready-made XMLRPC server library, which seems to me to be taking the easy way out. Here's my response: MoleSter, a non-trivial filesharing application in 6 lines of Perl, using no protocol library more sophisticated than TCP.
No offense, but that's sad. The first Distro I tried was Debian after seeing linux at a friends house once. It worked the first time. This was when I was 14. Surely somebody with over 20 years of experience in *nixes should be able to figure it out?
You definately wouldn't make a good thief. I dont think they were *that* stupid, especially if they did this for 10 years. What I'm guessing what they would do is find very similar items, that at a quick glance look the same, and slap their modified barcode on the more expensive item, and/or slap a higher price on the cheaper item. I mean I dont know about you but most cashiers just ring the stuff up, they dont analyze every single item they ring up. They just want to hear that *beeeeep*

This guy's site got hammered once when it was on a couple different link sites last week. Now it's getting hammered by slashdot. Anything he makes will probably be offset by his hosting bill.

The countries that bore the brunt of the tsunami had no notice of what was coming but the earthquake, the largest for 40 years, had been monitored by the Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre in Honolulu.
"We don't have contacts in our address book for anybody in that part of the world," National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration director Charles McCreery said.
Story here. Since that didn't work, they called the State Department, who ALSO tried to find out who to contact, but again, due to lack of adequate warning systems/organizations, they failed as well.
Most players are too busy making money or doing the grind to take time out to go patrol for a suspected Griefer, especially if they dont know exactly where they're at.
Kinda fitting IMO since this is the stance that most of the GM's in the MMORPGS I play take. The usual response is "Use the in-game PvP system/It's part of the game". May sound good on paper, but when you're 20+ levels behind, it's hard getting a group together to go after that one lone griefer.
I thought you can't qualify for common carrier status when you moderate and fail to remove illegal content. 99.9% of these trackers are moderated, thus loosing their Common Carrier status, IANAL.

the first thing they pick on is the Gimp UI. It's more of a personal taste IMO, since I dont find anything wrong with it and is easy to navigate.

MoleSter
Why?
MovableType Sucks.
Why does it suck?
1 J Random Luser on dialup one some old sparcstation IPC, and about 20 lines a Perl can bring any server to it's knees with comment spam.
Wont this kinda depend on which Perl version and what version of C it was compiled against?

Wow . . .almost as depressing as a Great Old One in Ribbons.
Not the cheapest, but it's simple, and almost guaranteed to work. Period.

that wouldn't solve anything. They could still get infringing user IP's from the tracker.
I love Freenet, but no offense to it, but it can't handle the sort of traffic that a tracker does atm.
Instead of donating money to people violating the law, why not just buy the software/product in the first place?

yea but that still re-polls the page every 5 minutes, so it's not helping *that* much.

google ads are pay per click not per impression, so unless all of the slashbots click on those ads, he didn't make much.
Just admit you got tricked at move on.
And how much power did you waste by posting this comment to slashdot?

Dont know if it's applicable but Sweeden *did* sign the WPPT.
