  1. Re:NAT on Ask Bram Cohen about BitTorrent · · Score: 1

    NAT does no such thing. BitTorrent can contact peers and trackers using outgoing connections which NAT is perfectly capable of dealing with. True, you can make more connections with port forwarding enabled, but it is far from necessary.

  2. Re:Gee on Finding Friends Via Search Query Analysis · · Score: 1

    For $20 I think the only part of her that will be, uh, accepting anything is her right hand.

  3. Obligatory FAQ posting... on BitTorrent Guide · · Score: 3, Informative

    The BitTorrent FAQ and Guide site is rapidly becoming the main collection point for all information BitTorrent. If you have questions or curiosities, check it out.

  4. Re:Browsers on SBC Getting Aggressive With Frames Patent · · Score: 1

    Shh... Don't let the secret out. If we're not careful, we'll all be replaced by the perl script we actually use to do the reformatting.

  5. proxy on Anonymous Domain Registration for Protecting Privacy? · · Score: 3, Informative

    Domains By Proxy specializes in just this. Ignore all these clowns that tell you to use false info.

  6. Re:String match algorithm reference on Public Code Repositories? · · Score: 2, Informative

    That's a pretty neat site, very thorough.

    Another potentially useful one is the Dictionary of Algorithms and Data Structures (DADS). A query of "String search" returns about 33 hits.

  7. Re:Not really new... on Earthquakes Shake Servers, Too · · Score: 2, Informative

    You can read Taco's account of manning the slashdot servers through 9/11. In summary: normal slashdot traffic is about 20 pages/sec and 1.4 million per day. That spiked to about 60-70 /sec on 9/11, with nearly 3 million for the day.

  8. Re:Its too bad.. on Why Do Google Hit Numbers Vary? · · Score: 2, Informative

    This page at Search Engine Watch has a half dozen or so real-time search query viewers. It also has some quasi-realtime "search popularity" stuff too.

  9. Re:hardware review sites are practically scams on Hardware Bytes · · Score: 1
    I agree as well. Let's not forget gems like this one:

    The X450 has a very nice brushed aluminum surface with rounded edges and other features that seem to say "bling".

    Please, if you're going to do reviews, adopt a tone of professionalism -- it lends more credibility to what you have to say.

    And for the love of God, we're tired of articles broken into many pages! I realize you sell more banner hits that way, but when you get to the point of one paragraph per "page", it's just ridiculous.
