On: OpenNaps Targeted; Gnutella "Validated"

Limewire is the best gnutella client yet. Each Limewire client on the gnutellanet actually strengthens the network. It is rather large for a gnutella client, but it is (hopefully) a sign of great things to come.

He's being entirely too modest, that site is awesome! Lots of mods, utilities, and rebuilds of the DOOM engine (I didn't even know it had been open sourced...) so that you can jump, swim, look up and down and be all around pimp :).

A relevant fable (hope i can remember it reasonably well...)

A cook, who sold the most delicious stew in the land, had staked out a spot in a marketplace to ply his wares. One day, a beggar came and sat nearby, deeply inhaling the scent of the stew. "Stop that!", said the cook, "you haven't paid to smell my stew!" The beggar refused, and they took their argument before the local wise man. After each plead their case, he said to the chef: "You have provided a definite service, and shall be rewarded. The service was allowing him to smell the stew; you will be rewarded by hearing his coins jingle."
