I would strongly recommend doing some sort of operation like this with a small number of users, and all of whom who you know you can trust.
Or just buy a RAID
If you had some sort of p2p network like that, people would find ways to not provide any storage area and still use yours, use massive bandwidth for transferring what they have on your storage, or possibly crack it to get your data.
Google toolbar actually prevents spyware from being installed by blocking pop-ups (which from my experience are the main source or spyware)
So go google toolbar! And its so handy to search!
If you dont like google/google toolbar, use a different search engine. We are using its free service, and then complain about them tracking us for reports.
It is a school to avoid. My university had bandwidth limits per 5 days. Something like 500 megs every 5 days, if you were over that limit you were placed in restricted bandwidth where you could read webpages slowly, but not download anything large. This worked perfectly to stop students from downloading excessively.
The biggest problem is NOT p2p, it is ignorance. The students get a fresh computer with lots of storage space, and a fast internet connection. They download too much crap, and then leave it open for everyone and their brother to download. They get backdoored, and setup as an xdcc bot. 9/10 bots in my favorite xdcc channels are on american university domains, and none of the xdcc bots are ran by the computer's legitimate owner.
Blocking p2p is not the solution whatsoever. Have educated computer users, and educated admins. Block ports of trojans. Have reasonable, yet large bandwidth limits. This IS an invasion, and its unnecessary.
The main people I blame in the situation are the admins. Setup your network properly, and this will never happen. Web pages will never load slowly. Secondly, I blame ignorant users. They leave their car door open and the keys in the ignition.

Think about all those "get rich quick" guys with infomercials and books. They get rich quick by selling you their stupid ideas which dont work.
The irony is of course, like market analysts, they are making their money off you, not what what they are peddling. Analyst predictions are little more than a guess - nobody can predict the future. If there was ever a sure-fire way to make money with no risk, well everyone would be billionaires in a day and inflation would be a real bitch.
The logic behind it is simple, whenever you put your money somewhere it could make money, theres always the risk it can lose money too. Some people make money, some people lose money.
However, the people you are paying to analyze the market and invest your money pull a constant salary off your cash.

"At the last movie I saw, I played snake while waiting for the stupid previews to be over. When I'm alone for a bit, like waiting for my meal to be served, I get on the net with my cell phone and get updated on the news. Can I live without? Sure. But I can make a little use of my time."
What happened to talking to your "significant other" while waiting for dinner to be served, or waiting for hte movie to start. Hell, what happened to talking to any friends at these occasions. I can not stay I have ever went to dinner or a movie alone.
I do not mean to be rude, but the technology that is supposed to be bringing us closer together is not doing its job. Instead of talking to the person beside you in public places, we are talking on or playing games on a cell phone. Instead of spending quality time with people, we are on the Internet.
Of course I am hypocritical, but everyone can agree its true.
Or, try living a day in a students shoes. Hell I could write a 500 page thesis on a similar topic to his, and none will be complaining about losing my job.
Just to begin...
Having to wake up to an alarm clock
Well, actually 6. All of my roommates wake up at various times during the day, and if I want to sleep in (if I am sick, usually I am the first up) I have to listen to 5 other alarm clocks before mine goes off.

Hahahaha. Like I plan dinners in the morning.
Scamsters
Those sketchy credit card salesmen that give you prizes with the credit cards in return for free gifts...Well we know the credit cards have insane fees and interest rates...so "Joe Blow" in "123 Fake St" is getting about 5 of those bills in the mail right now.

I have a permanent 5 oclock shadow. Do not ask how or why, it just results from being a student.

Wake up on your living room floor after a keg party. Stand up, and realize where you were laying is the only clear spot on the floor. Get a garbage bag...puke in it (haha dont even think about cleaning) and then go to your room which you luckily locked, and sleep the mess away.

If you even remember being snobbish, you arent poor enough yet.

Cold showers, always. I dont know who the magical person is that gets the first shower, but mine is always cold. And its not by choice.

You BUY these luxuries?
Weight, Losing
We are still gaining the frosh 50. And more.
Weight, Lifting
Workout daily, I can bench more than you can imagine. But students only bench and do curls. Biceps and pecs are the only muscles you workout when you are under 25...
Triumph of the Will
Going to the library and studying. It is like climbing mount everest. Not an easy task to bring yourself to.
However, this is an emergency return vehicle...or a taxi to and from the space station. The space station is relatively low orbit..so you arent going deep into space.
Because of this, and the fact that it will be used to cycle astronauts in the space station, I think a shuttle would be best.
BUT I completely agree we should be building capsules...and exploring space. And sending people to mars. But if we cant send people to the ISS, we cant think about going to mars. Why is the entire American space program shut down after one accident?
Back when alladvantage and those pay to surf programs were big, I wrote a cursor mover. Every random time between 1-5 minutes, it would move the cursor to a random location on the screen. Now, I knew what it was, and when I forgot to turn it off when I got back on my computer, it was annoying as hell.
Imagine the guy in the cubicle next to you...I can already see him trying to take apart his optical mouse to get the wheels clean.
Now, what about the auto-web page changer which jumped to random website searchs and such every 1--5 minutes...that could be annoying too.

figure out a way to shorten it without ruining the message (its already shortened)

Anthony Hamilton couldnt sell two cds if he pressed a double album
BMG are geniuses (genii? :P)
Follow this pseudo-proof
Step 1: Release a CD by Anthony Hamilton
Step 2: Put new copy protection on it
Step 3: Nobody copies the cd "illegally"
Step 4: QED. The copy protection works

I have pictures of two male ducks on top of a female duck. I was actually able to get a few feet away from them to take the picture.
Nothing distracted them...there was about 50 people crowded around them just outside my school residence.
Frisky little fellas...

I love that with the solar power you get 3 hours of light, and with the batteries you get 9 hours of light.
So a days worth of sunlight is providing you with about one AA battery's power.
And i thought we were technologically advanced.

Cuz that would look funny.
I disagree here.

ya i dont know why this mini-itx case was chosen. sure it looks great, but it doesnt represent mini-itx's.
My personal favorite is still the nintendo mini itx computer, running a nintendo emulator to play mario 3.
And no, I will not provide a link to the mini-itx page which is about 100 feet under.
