Bittorrent itself works in a tit-for-tat way already, but since it is open-source, people have created modified clients that tell the tracker that they are upping far more than they really are, thus giving the leechers a higher priority.
That would be pretty good, but I'm thinking more along the lines of early 80's game show noises, like the game with whammies, when the lights went around the board.
I personally hope that the public sites die, since they don't use registration, people shamelessly leech files and don't even come close to the 1:1 ratio that's needed for the network to thrive. I'll just stick with places that require registration, track stats, ban leechers, and thank me for contributing. There's probably 4 or 5 sites that I use for that sort of thing(thing being TV or movies). Besides, on smaller sites, there's more of a community, and the speeds stay good, much like yours did:)
It evaluates any torrent that you are on, and if the seed:peer ratio is not good, you will begin seeding it again. That way, if you are on one with 100 seeds and 4 peers, you won't use your bandwidth on it, instead you would be seeding the torrent with 20 seeds and 10 peers.
ps, who modded my previous post a troll for extolling the virtues of a damn good torrent client?
I'm quite gay for azureus. It makes things so handy. I can download the stuff I want, and leave it in smart-seeding mode, so any old torrents that come back to life will be seeded by me again.
Same here, I'm a firm believer that God and science can coexist, seeing as we don't know exactly how God works, and I'm not closed-minded on either end of the argument.
Yes, slashdot, it's possible to believe in God and science without being a damned fundie that makes my faith look bad.
I can easily believe that. Little kids want to use the computer, and not break it, so they are pretty careful about clicking strange things. I know I would have been the same way when I was little, except those computers(apple IIe) didn't really have logons, etc:)
Fix your grammar before you go creating big weapons. I think we'll use, "that travel faster than the spead of light" instead of your version
Nope, faster then is better. I mean, everyone knows that when you go past the speed of light, you can go into the past.
PS, it's "speed", not "spead"
I don't think we are expecting much, but even a couple flurries is unheard of. In my 24 years of life, I've seen snow here 2, maybe 3 times before today.
I'm so sad about Saban, I just started back in school last semester, and was looking forward to some kickass football over the next 4 years.
I dunno man, it's currently lightly snowing in Baton Rouge today, and that does not happen. In a stunning coincidence, Nick Saban is leaving LSU today, so the world truly must be about to end.
ctually, unless you talk about actual piracy, that thing with the boats and the parrots on the captain's shoulder. That, of course, is stealing.
Now, what would you consider it if I put wheels on a boat, and started jacking pirated DVDs from street-corner vendors all across town? I would be stopping piracy, but I'd be a pirate myself, but I'd be stopping pirates...
Oh God I have worked myself into a corner how did this happen I'm no good at arguing help me
Or you can continue to cry about it Mr Open Source Zealot, instead of writing your own. People who write stuff like "Microshit" and "M$" keep linux down as much as microsoft does. Tone your intense hatred of microsoft down a bit, and you will have more luck getting converts.
It's even better when you are an IT dork from Denham Springs, Louisiana. I get the best of both worlds, programming skills and a hick accent. I'm a walking talking party trick!
I asked my brother if he had any songs like that right before I went to lunch today, and he said he was trying hard not to remember any, so I mentioned this song, and he pitched his keys at my balls.
Heck I set up a wireless lan for a friends bachelor party, 50 computers between four smal motel rooms,
Nothing personal, but what the fuck kind of bachelor party is that, with computers and shit? I'm a huge geek/college student, but by God, when I get married, my friends had better have strippers and more booze than is drinkable in 24 hours.
I'm going to assume that instead of bachelor party, you meant an engagement celebration or something, and that your friend didn't spend his last single night playing computer games, unless they were, hmm. No, you don't play computer games as a bachelor party.
It's ok man, everyone has a secret shame. Well, yours isn't so secret now, but I'm not one to judge.
The rest of slashdot, on the other hand, I'm leaving that one all up to you.
ps, time to listen to the entire Aqua cd, all the songs sound just like barbie girl
Or, possibly, it's all just a giant red herring to get everyone to freak out and break their established methods. They won't notice the same stuff the people have been doing for years, but they may notice a sudden wave of change that happens after a new announcement, and keep an eye on that.
This, of course, lets those hunted(the smart ones, anyway) do some fake changes in doing things to send the important folks on a wild goose chase, and they can continue their old methods of communication.
There's more that could be gone into, but it just gets more recursive and convolouted, and I don't have that much spare time at work, being the lone IT guy and all.

My computer needs to make more internal "beep boop boop beep" noises.
Oooooh, it could cook those little McDonald's pizzas that they had a few years back. It could fit into a 5 1/4 slot and everything!

The prime candidate for a Symbian port would be Minimo, rather than Mozilla.
In before 12 people quote you and say "I use minimo on the desktop"

I know what it is! Linus sandwich!
I asked my brother if he had any songs like that right before I went to lunch today, and he said he was trying hard not to remember any, so I mentioned this song, and he pitched his keys at my balls.
That is one of the few songs from high school that I still remember every word to, despite not hearing it in 5+ years.

Why don't you cry about it some more? Jesus, man, this is a tech news site, is it that amazing that on a tech news site they will review new gadgets?
Mmmm, in regards to #7, time to run by GNC on the way home to grab my chlorophyll supplement before I go run.
