How about giving a server?/Rackmount thing to the Wayback machine, so we can use the power of Google to navagate into the past! (their search sucks) Come to think of it, so does/.'s!
Actually, when I worked as a double agent for Intel/Amd, I had access to 1.5 RillyHz Chips at Intel. I would then sell this information to AMD using my tooth phone. AMD would respond with 2.3 FuhkinHz chips and the cycle would begin again. When I went to Apple, they only had 1.2 KindaStings chips, but they did have the Newton-Phone. Ahh, the good ol' days.
P2P has offically said, "Hey, we're dying over here!" You don't need to be a Kreskin to predict *P2P's future. The hand writing is on the wall: *P2P faces a bleak no-future because *P2P is laying in a ditch somewhere, and doesn't have any ID, so we don't know who to call. In fact we can hear the screams of pain out there because*P2P is dying.
Things are looking very bad for *P2P. As many of us are already aware, *P2P continues to lose market share, and it's car keys all the time. Red ink flows like a river of blood, and a river of blood would be pretty cool, but not when it's *P2P's blood. FreeP2P is the most endangered of them all, and since I've never even heard of it, it must be hurtin'.
Umm, something about a charnel house being turned over, and 2 usenet post about P2P, and bought out by someone who ruined everything. Yeah. And so P2P for all practical purposes is dead. Long live P2P!
I can't see lots middle school and even some 9th or tenth graders making the cause and effect connection between: don't participate = fail class = unable to advance to the next grade.
I record my own (composed, arranged, and performed by me.) music on a CD-R. I pay a tarrif (to the RIAA) on each CD I use in this manner.
I put this CD on consignment (or sell outright) at my local used record store.
Someone comes in and purchases my CD. (thank you!)The RIAA wants a royalty on this sale.
I am not employed, retained, on in any way affillated with the RIAA.
Why are they paid for the blank CD-R? The secondary sale? They cannot recoup money from me! I owe them nothing. They are stealing from ME.
As I have said time and time again, the RIAA, the MPAA, The Big 5, the Industry, whatever you want to call them, they are after control over creation and distribution of content.
If the abillity of individuals to create and distribute independent content is stifled, the 1st amendment is GONE.
Remember this saying? Freedom of the press belongs to those that own one.
Don't let what has already happened to Radio, TV, and Newspapers happen to music too.
If it wasn't bad enough that he had to close down his site for lack of traffic and subscribers, now we send 10,000 people over there to gloat over the corpse.

Just to clarify. The servers were run on players machines, and everyone? ran one.
I just realized something. Bandwidth not being what it should be to run Quake like this, this would be the way to finally network NETHACK. Kind of like Dungeon Keeper, I guess. All players get to make a 'castle', in which they can put treasure, summon monsters, place traps, ect. Want to go on a quest? Head over to the 'Raging Dragon' and make some pals. Share weapons, ect.
This would be playable on any machine, use little network resources, and you could put a scrolling ad or something to support development costs ala' Limewire. Nethack is open source, so no limits on what can be done!
If I had this I wouldn't need P2P Quake. (For awhile;)
Why oh why am I a musician and not a programmer.:(

Back in the day, (Pre-Quake) John Carmack gave an interview in which he stated that Quake would have all these servers run by people who would control their 'land', having whatever kind of level/rules/physics! the admins wanted. You would get to these servers by running thru the 'sparkly doorways'.
He gave a scenario where a server had a 'tag' game of some sort going on. You would be chasing this guy thru a castle, he runs thru the 'sparkly door', you follow and seamlessly end up in another level with different physics (low grav) different rules (bouncing rockets) and different look,(Space Mountain).
I say let's all move for congress to take all communicaitons hardware and make it an independant co-op agency. Make it illegal to have for-profit communications. It has become a public necessity and it should not be in the hands of greedy or controlling people.
For future reference: Government = greedy AND controlling people.
I have no doubt that this will lead to a smaller, faster, more efficient P2P, one that doesn't 'waste' lots of time and bits searching.
This happens all the time, BTW. Classic RIAA. Bring out new tech to make copying unpossible. CDs to kill cassettes, DVDs to kill CDs, and on and on and on. The RIAA relies on sheer size to combat piracy. Count on them to constantly increase the bitrate far beyond what anyone can hear, just to keep wanton copying down! I would not be surprised if this is a reason behind software bloat, as well. (If we can make it require 2 cd's, they'll never be able to share it. haHA!)
My guess is that wireless networks will figure prominently in the p2p 'problem'. These wireless networks will be small, limited to neighborhoods at first, but pick up size and strength with the release of new tech. The internet of the future will be wireless and pervasive. The p2p app will follow.
You know, we hire you to sit here and make value for us (items, interaction with others, ect.) adding value to our game world, while you PAY for the privilege to do so. (Horrible job prospect, IMHO)
It's just like work. You can't take the logo/software/widget you just made and hawk it yourself; it belongs to the company whose tools you used to make it.
The difference is that you get paid $$$ for working at your job; you get paid in 'fun' working at your MMPORG.
out as the demo 'discs'. Postage Stamp on one side and 330 hours! on the back, plus the new version of Netscape, which will take up the rest of the space.
talk about this technology to launch space craft. They (alien guys) sit on top of lasers, shoot it up the tail pipe, and the vaporizing block o' motor propels the craft up, up and away.
It also talks about using something else, but don't want to give away the cool ending...;)
If these tracks from 'major' artists are tough to get, perhaps the people who are denied access to the 'hot' albums will try out a local or independent artist.
Then realizing what crap they've been listening to all this time, a sense of taste develops.
These awakened consumers of music spread the glorious truth: The real art is to be found not in mass-marketed image advertunesing, but in lovingly crafted songs by talented, yet overlooked artists.
I'd say more but I'm off to get the soundtrack to 'Spiderman'! That generic mispelled band name rap/rock angst filled warmed over grunge-RoK is super hot! And yet cool at the same time!
The RIAA says: "Go ahead and listen! We'll make more!"

Sierra! They pioneered base-building back in the early 90's, with engineering marvels such as Outpost and Outpost 2: Back in the Habit!
will you answer it?

I would only recommend this to musicians or engineers though, since it's a bit of overkill for RTCW.
Recording? Wow! It is absolutely quiet.
