I think that attitude is actually the #3 Nerd. I've noticed that sometimes nice and elegant equals overengineered. Sometimes it's good to have non-elegant code to maintain readability.
Ever notice when you get the code wonderfully elegant, but it's really saving anything? It doesn't perform better. It's not more flexible(takes as much or more time to modify). Rather than typing two pages of code, it's only half a page(big deal). It takes longer to write because you actually have to think about it.
You just have to realize when your awesome generalized functions or recursive masterpiece is overengineered for your little form based frontend to the database.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed this. It seems every edutainment show is like this now. 10 minutes of content and 50 minutes of restating the 10 minutes in as many ways as possible. It generally takes me 30 seconds to realize this style of programming and turn it off. With the exception of Mythbusters, I've all but stopped watch Discovery. BTW, check out "Good Eats" on the Food network. It's like Bill Nye the food guy.
Did you understand any of the parent "devil's advocate" comment or was it just too many big thoughts and big words? Try suspending your emotional response for ten minutes and re-read the comment from ground zero where the guy was speaking from.
Rather than "jackass", you should have left it as "uh... I don't get it. I'll stick to the black and white my momma told me was right."
I actually see this the other way around. With so few people creating torrents, the traffic was concentrated to the few good trackers. This helped speed and more importantly, quality control. This is going to be just like all the other p2p apps with a billion versions of the same file, only slightly different or varying qualities.
May I ask what the hell are you doing to your PC to burn out your processors? Am I in the minority in never having seen a case of processor "burn out"?
Actually, it's probably lack of traffic shaping on your end. If you're saturating your upload, you're ack's and udp are probably getting nudged behind. Setup traffic shaping to prioritize for interactive traffic. Checkout leaf to use as a router.
How about running some traffic shaping on your router to prioritize packets( ACKS first, UDP second, everything else )? I ditched my netgear to run leaf for it's traffic shaping features, so someone running kazaa wouldn't kick the crap out of my connection. With traffic shaping, I can run what I want and everyone's happy.

Consistency?
So who are you voting for? Kang or Kodos?

Hmm... love the "real jobs" category. I take it small businesses aren't included in "real jobs".

Could you elaborate on the IPSEC aspect? Could this be the ultimate solution for wireless networks to end the mess that is WEP/WPA?
