To be honest, why is that a problem. If your Win2k machines goes down as rarely as a Linux machine. (It doesn't, but they're getting there.), is Win2k's ability to pick itself back up, really an issue?
The really worrying thing being that someone could just stick all that data on a removable h/disk, then walk out the door with it.
Which is not to say that millions of tiny unsecured FOAF systems would be better. At least you'd only have yourself to blame.
Email and usenet are not really suitable for sending around lots of little messages that are feed through an interface, rather than just shown to the user.
Jabber and, possible, SIP (what MSN uses) would be better choices.
I'm writing a p2p social networking tool that operates over XMPP. I already have a working prototype written in Java, although it needs a GUI before it can be of any use.
It's sad to see the US tech industry get choked to death like this. Pretty soon the legal issues involved in starting a company will be beyond most people.
I guess that soon most firms will have to 'do a KaZaA' and run through a web of intermediaries. On the up-side the Canary Islands sound like a lovely place to live:-)
Scarily my 3rd year uni project will probably also violate these kinds of patents.

hearts and roses and kisses galore.... what the hell is all that shit for people get mushy amd start acting queer its definitely the most annoying day of the year this day needs to get the hell over with and pass before i shove a dozen roses up cupid's ass i'll spend the day so drunk i can't speak and wear all black for the rest of the week guys act all sweet but soon it will fade for all they are doing is trying to get laid the arrow cupid shot at me must not have hit because i think love is a bunch of shit so thers my story.....what can say love bites my ass.....FUCK VALENTINE'S DAY!!
Erm... Correct me if I'm wrong. Here in the UK, Singapore is concidered a rich country. So rich that wages there are too high for local firms, as a result manufacturing jobs in Singapore are being moved to the north of England where labour is cheaper:-)

When I first got an internet account my spam was all p0rn and stock tips. Now it's cheap drugs and mortage loans...

Sort of a collective gutter sub-consciouness I suppose

This is my dissertation project!

This site is at http://hearsay.sourceforge.net, but there isn't much documentation so far.
Maybe you don't want to claim all of those :-)
Singapore firms now place manufacturing work in the UK, because Singapore workers are too well-educated to work these jobs!

Are you entirely happy sharing that story with 250,000+ lonely geeky men? ;-)
