  1. Bittorrent does that! on UDP + Math = Fast File Transfers · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Bittorrent
    does that! It's not really trying to be a napster or gnutella but a way to allow people to host a high volume website without having a lot of bandwidth. It works seamlessly with mozilla and IE. It's also quite fast unlike the anonymous p2p networks.

  2. Where did all the Internet Traffic Go? on Fed Raids Software Pirates in 27 Cities · · Score: 3, Funny

    Wow... The net suddenly got so quiet after the warez busts.

  3. Microsoft setting there own punishment on Microsoft Offers A Modified Settlement · · Score: 1

    Isn't it absurd that Microsoft is setting there own punishment? They BROKE THE LAW. This is like a criminal setting his own punishment. The whole thing is absurd..

  4. Lawyers can't own IP and they make $250/hour on There's "No Such Thing" as Free Software · · Score: 2

    I think that all this free software makes programmers much more productive workers. Just like factory workers make more than manual laborers because they use machines, programmers who have access to big open source toys make more because they create more value for each hour worked so companies think it's ok to pay them a lot. Similarily lawyers are just integrators of previous open source legal arguments that can't be copyrighted and they make tons of money. Sure you can make $300,000 a year doing Oracle Consulting but that's because Oracle makes database programmers extremely productive. With open source though you can make $200,000 a year as a perl consultant using purely open source products and this will go up as the tools approach commercial quality.
