I'll answer one of my own questions... from http://www.archive.org/about/faqs.php But I still wonder if someone could throw a fit because they didn't opt in...
How can I remove my site's pages from the Wayback Machine?

Good idea... but I'm just wondering about the legality of doing that. What about copyrighted pages? Speaking of... what about the legality of mirroring or archiving old copyrighted web pages? I wonder if that has/will become a problem in the future if say the original creator of the content wants a page taken down. What about http://www.archive.org/
I'm proud to finally unveil swarmstreaming our third generation of swarming algorithms that are designed for the fastest downloads of web content and multimedia without any special server software or silly.swarm files. This is probably our most exciting advancement since the original invention of swarming.
The technology improves swarming by ensuring that the bytes that the user wants next are scheduled to be received next. So if they're playing back a video file, the bytes from the front of the file will be received first. If the user (or application) skips forward to the middle of the file, the bytes at the middle of the file will be prioritized. Thus, unlike first generation swarming systems like Swarmcast or Bittorrent, you don't have to wait for the entire file to download to do something useful with it!.
Under the covers it is almost unimaginably more complicated than this because it also provides Self-Healing Downloads, implements a full-blown, scalable, Web Proxy Cache, and actively works to ensure that the video playback never studders or buffers by constantly monitoring and adapting to changing network conditions. For a raw feature dump, check out the SwarmStream SDK Feature Matrix
Nowadays, because of its immense popularity, most people have only heard of swarming because of Bittorrent. I have no animosity towards Bittorrent because it has done more than any application to prove the value of swarming to the general public. But if people are impressed by Bittorrent, they're going to be absolutely blow away by swarmstreaming and how far we've taken swarming since its humble beginnings five years ago.
The best source of information right now on swarmstreaming is Onion Networks SwarmStream SDK, so check it out and let me know what you think.

Forgive me if this has been said before... but isn't it possible that Valve has held back a few small key files. Even if someone did crack this, they still couldn't play until they sucessfully registered and downloaded the needed files. I guess its a moot point once those extra files got into the wild, but still...
Thats how I'd do this anyway...
Yeah... I know this has been gone over several times here... but maybe you're the one with the problem.
I find myself drinking quite a bit of what you might consider "good" beer. I'll drink a wide selection of anything at a lot of different temeratures. Of course I have my own personal preferences, but I'm not gonna look down on you if you're drinking a bottle of PBR.
Although, almost nothing beats a nice cold Miller product on a hot day. Maybe you need to cut the snobbery and get out and live a little without being so damn judgemental. If you drop your pseudo-sophisticated attitude, who knows what fun things you'll find.

According to the FBI, Austin allegedly defaced at least five commercial Web sites since 1999 using the nickname "Ucaun." On three of the sites, Austin left behind a hacking program named troop.cgi that was designed to attempt to log in to a computer operated by the U.S. Army, the FBI affidavit stated. In the interview, Austin acknowledged that he vandalized the Web sites and that he knew it was illegal to do so. But he defended the act by saying it was necessary to get his message out.
He is cracking websites and trying to log into US Gov't servers. He also ran this website that contained info on how to build bombs. The wording for the/. post is incomplete at best... very misleading.

Make it stop... I think I just threw up a little in my mouth. A few days out of the semester was good enough to make me stay away.
Oh it'll be modded down in a couple minutes anyway... it was my first attempt at a nicely formatted post on /.

If so... go back to the drawing board Justin...

As soon as I can run OS X on my PC, I'll give it a try, but you can't say its inexpensive when you have to buy the computer to go with the OS.
Maybe Windows is an inferior OS, but for price/performance/options thats the only way I can go right now.
