I've read it, and the counter arguements, and the pooled quotes from Miguel, and I'd say he is pretty pro-.NET. What do you think Sun will make of that?
Do you beleive they are going to remain vendor neutral when it comes to the technology of the future versions of GNOME?
Or the touch of death, depending on how pesimistic you are;-). Crucially though I think this gives them a back door into the X86 architecture that they blew away when they ditched the new version of Solaris for X86 platforms.
Is this in any way related to Miguel De Icaza's.NET comments? It'd make sense for SUN's purposes. Does this mean that they'd push for heavy Java (J2SE) integration? If so, what JVM?
It's interesting that they are targetting the small Windows server with Cobalt, I think they'd need some kind of.NET competitor complete with J2SE integration.
With regards of technical equipment I do not know why we tolerate China's oppression of its people. Maybe the explanation that free-trade will make them more liberal may hold true. I don't know. If any other country behaved like that toward its people they would be widely critisised by the US and the EU. Austria voted in a [far] right wing administration and had sanctions imposed overnight and Robert Mugabe of Zimbagwe forced the EU, why not China? It's all about the ca$h . That or starving them of outside funding/equipment would make the situation worse.
But seriously, it could be any number of reasons, please try the FAQ and the Freenet project website. There is also a support mailing list that is quite good.
The longer you use it the faster it gets. [unfourtunately] You will have to open the port that handles FCP request (default 8888 IIRC) on your firewall (don't run the Freenet.jar as root, nor your JVM), after 1-2hours live requests are pretty fast (within 20 seconds) even on this crappy 56k modem that I'm using.
Use FCP. It is incredibly easy, watch out for foibles in the documentation like a numeric value indicated but no reference to the fact that it should be hexadecimal represented by ASCII chars.
Look for the FCP documentation on the Freeenetproject.org website, it is one of the aspects that is fairly well documented (I would link to it but the site appears down).
Well it depends on the degree of departmental individuality and cover. I mean I would hope that your average CIA employee doesn't know too much (esp. those in the field) because it makes rubber hoses and interrogation more fruitfull. Even admin staff could be tempted by large enough payments, although this is greatly lessened by polygraphs and the like, plus I think that most are highly patriotic, well funded and mindfull of the safety of their collegues. However, there are semi-autonomous departments in most big organizations (business included) and they can really skew the big picture (even providing executive summaries and the like).
Also I question a fuller understanding of the task, when I say minimum I mean the ammount needed to achieve a task with efficiency and due dilligence.
Maybe I'm coloured by the fact I'm a UK citizen, the degree of secrecy over here is pretty extreme and you're right things have gotten looser since the break up of the Soviet Union. However I think current events will rapidly send us in the opposite direction, but differently.
True, its an overriding factor of any organization where secrecy (unlike comedy) is paramount. Look at the IRA, ETA, PLA or the records department of your local security service, only the motive and funding is different. Generally the CIA and other security services are the good guys.
There are several applications running on top of Freenet that solve some of the problems, one of which is Frost which allows you to search files, and has BBS features. The other way that people are running indices which people can submit information to. These are linked from the initial Freenet banner. Content Of Nice is one of these on the 0.4 network.
Here is the original post, on the Freenet homepage about the Infoanarchy piece, as to whether it was posted on Kuro5hin or InfoAnarchy, read either, it doesn't matter. At the above link is an MP3 file of the original cited speech (at Codecon).
A government could make encryption software illegal, however the legal barriers are quite high. In Europe they have the Human Rights act which protects a lot of rights (which is one of the reasons the RIP Act has not been rigourously enforced in England) and in the US you have the constitution.
I started using Freenet for the technical challenge, a kind of Internet within Internet, which is a kind of neat concept, but there are also some interesting quite innovative sites on there. But danger Will Robinson, there is also some evil!
Has there ever been a time that you want to comment about something and protect you identity? Freenet allows this.
I agree with you in respective of the "fuck you" attitude of the developers, that is their perogative, but I think it is counter productive to one of their goals which is widespread acceptance.
I really beleive that good documentation coupled with good code is the reason that some projects prosper and others fail. Maybe they have the balance right, the system is ludicrously easy for Windows users now.
On the plus side:
They have a Wiki system on their homepage which allows you to add to the documentation easily (had this been available 6 months ago I would have)
The code is nearing a stable level (Datastore bug gone)
Usefull non-Pr0n applications are been developed such as Frost.
I did supply single quotes for cosmetic reasons and to denote that it wasn't written by me. Hence the link to the article with full author attribution. I have no control over the time it was posted, or if it was seperately posted at Kuro5hin.
I beleive the paragraph I submitted was the original article, the Kuro5hin article was posted later on. If that wasn't the case it was submitted simeltaneosly to two different sites. Big deal. Does it matter as long as we get the beef?
I must say I agree in every respect. I've written a few apps in the past working on the fproxy level and I was stunned by the (lack of) quality of the documentation. Things like not labelling that numbers are hexadecimal (watch out for that one) or just plain mis-information. I have however found the Freenet team to be quite responisive to direct questions. But in the end it was too much of a pain and I gave up. The program worked OK enough though (for its purposes).
All this means is that people will set up invisible proxies.
A way round this using public key encryption: You set up a temporary key (using a big randomly generated passphrase), you submit the public key to open keyservers, giving it a shelf life of two-weeks, you receive email X which is encrypted using the public key, you decrypt email X using the private key. You then securely erase the private key (even better keep the key on a floppy disk and destroy it).
Organizations like the CIA are so compartmentalized that I wouldn't expect anyone to make a definitive comment like 'CIA officials say there is no poision umbrella', probably translates to 'in my knowledge there is no poison umbrella'. For anyone, apart from the director, to say that there is no X or Y is wrong.
Each employee probably knows his job section, the admin staff in his job section and nothing more. The canteens are seperated, the sections are seperated, even within sections the compartmentalization is such that one man can not have more knowledge than they need to complete their task.
So my point is that their may well be no poison umbrella, but anonymous officials tend to spout the current political masters party line and know as little (or as much) about various departments as is dictated by overall security protocol. Which is good because it protects both the individual (can't cough up in interrogation or sell what he doesn't know) and therefore organization as a whole.
Thats a shame. I think perception is 90% of the problem with Corel, the Wine involvement certainly coloured (sorry for the UK spelling!) my view of the whole Corel project. Wrong I know but I guess its only human.
It's interesting that the early versions were native X apps. I wonder where they'd be today if they had put the money into GTK or QT development?
I didn't mean to denegrate their efforts, but I didn't see how they could sell Linux if they didn't make 100% native products. I think Corel Ventura and Corel Draw are top draw products, so I don't hate Corel in the slightest. I just don't think you can have one foot in and one foot out.

Yeah but you're not killed or detained, and its citizens doing the firing.

Falung-gong, you're gone!
Give up then. Think I care? :-)

All of the above are fixed, bar the inability to work behind a firewall, but I guess that's an act of God/R00T.

Cheers for taking the time... Unlike some other morons, your site appears to be the most modern looking (functional) porn site I have ever seen.
This was posted two hours before on Infoanarchy. I don't understand why people don't understand single quote marks.

The private key is lost, voila, a useless email.

I wouldn't want anything that mimicks the Windows API on my system, I have GTK, QT and Motif thank you very much.
