the US has lost 24 soldiers and has gained a large portion of Iraqi territory
Yeah, desert that the Iraqis weren't trying to defend. When the iraqi strategy is clearly to retreat to urban areas, taking vast amounts of empty desert isn't much of an achievement.
The only trouble is, development is being held back by sloppy, haphazard software "engineering" and creeping featurism (before the basic network is even functional).
Ouch, I don't suppose you could possibly provide any substance to that claim? Freenet is a platform, people are supposed to develop things on a platform. Do you regard Gnome to be creaping featurism for Linux? As for sloppy code, that is a matter of opinion, personally the code looks pretty well written to me - can you provide any examples of this sloppiness to support your claim?
The lists are flooded with the technically illiterate, who are just along for the ride, and the politically extreme, who want to "destroy global capitalism".
You are obviously taking about the freenet-chat list, the mandate of which is offtopic conversations. Anyone can join these mailing lists, just because a few loonies join an off-topic mailing list and mouth off is hardly a reflection on the project as a whole. The development mailing list is generally very sane, as are the technical, support, web, and documentation lists.
As far as I can see, what was once the most promising p2p platform is now stewing in its own faeces and will fizzle out gradually, to be replaced by an ever changing plethora of http-based systems.
Yet strangely you fail to justify such pessimism.
The developers don't even know whether freenet is a Java program or a network protocol.
Please don't assume others share your lack of knowledge. There is already a C++ implementation of Freenet in the works. Freenet is a protocol, "Fred" is a reference implementation of that protocol written in Java.
I would hate to see this film disappear because of not enough word-of-mouth, and because I'm a bit bitter that it's not going to show in my hometown -- Here are the cities that it -is- showing in, for those of you who don't want to go hunting for the information...

I hope the same does not apply to your girlfriend ;-P
