  5. Interesting interview on news.com about altnet. on CEO of Brilliant Defends Sneaky Installation Practices · · Score: 2

    I dont know about you but now im looking at seriously dumping kazaa. Kazaa "was" good. Not anymore. The only reason they got the users they have now is from the Morpheus fiasco.

    Some excerpts from interviews and the kazaa site.

    "stand by for something special!" - what do they mean by that. I DO NOT LIKE SUPPRISES. Dont they think they have "supprised" enough people already?

    There is the potential of compensation for users.
    That's the whole purpose of Altnet. The benefit of distributed computing technologies in a global peer-to-peer network is such that many organizations that are using centralized servers models can begin deploying their technologies out to the ultimate edge. The ultimate edge is represented by users of this network.

    So the benefits to businesses that are making use of Altnet is being passed on to end users, through a program based around "Altnet resource dollars." Those resource dollars are essentially a reward mechanism for end users who have opted in to the program, to gain a continuous benefit from making their resources available.

    That benefit will manifest in inventory provided by Altnet marketing partners who are gaining bandwidth reduction costs and cost savings through the use of Altnet

  8. Re:Only 2 levels of depth? on 3-D Monitors From Actual Depth · · Score: 2

    What is the best way for 3D glasses to work for more immersion or realism?

    Enhance the image on the actual monitor then "look-thru" the head glasses for the 3D effect? OR, to have the source of the image on each eye projected from the actual head glasses?

    I presume most glasses for gaming are the "look-thru" variaty.
