Hooray for Russians:) But in all seriousness, if he really solved it, then this could mean all kinds of "kewl" stuff will be coming out of the field of topology...
Does anyone notice that her pants are partially pulled down?
By this observation, I can conclude that she must have had some....help... from a professor, perhaps? *wink wink*
Come on, look at it! There are already very many large torrent sites out there, and even though some may get shut down (like bytemonsoon), they come back or others spring up in their place in a matter of days, if not hours. Look at the files on kazaa, notice the fake files? Yeah, that's how you tell a p2p network's health right there. Just search for a popular file, and see how many "popular" (i.e. multi-sourced) files are there by that name. The more popular files going by the same name (but with different sizes/md5's), the bigger chance that some of those will be fake, or perhaps very crappy. Now do the same for BT! I have never seen fake files on BT (I use good BT sites like voracity and suprnova). I think this is because people just don't like to go through the process of seeding huge fake games or movies (in kazaa this might improve their rating by having people download the "fake file" a lot). In BT, there is no rating or point system, so fake files are useless. Even if anti-piracy groups or the RIAA try to seed fake files, I think they won't succeed for 2 reasons:
1) If people download a fake file, they try it out, notice it's fake, and delete it. Boom, one less client to connect to for that torrent. Eventually the torrent dies automatically.
2) Seeder IP's can be blacklisted by trackers to block fake seeders from RIAA, Overpeer, etc. This would be easy to do (you could even use KazaaLiteK++'s already existing list)

I've actually heard people say that "only paranoids use PGP". Now they'll eat their words!

That you might be shamelessly pimping iButtons to the young, impressionable gentle people here on /.?

I doubt my boss knows what an MBR is, much less how to set up linux and run openoffice on it.

I used to love making model rockets, and now I can't even buy engines where I live! (FP wheee!)
