Chances are that they have signed NDAs and can't show real world applications. I don't see fortune 50 company being comfortable with video of their internal applications being all over internet.
And I would not expect them to sink funds just to create "showoff" applications loaded with ideas and then let it loose on net (for not reason).
The g-speak platform is in use today at Fortune 50 companies, government agencies and universities. Application areas include:
* Financial services
* Telepresence
* Network operations centers
* Logistics and supply chain management
* Military and intelligence
* Automotive
* Natural resource exploration
* Data mining and analytics
* Medical imaging
* High-touch retail
* Trade shows and theatrical presentations
* Consumer electronics interfaces
Oblong delivers room-sized and single-user g-speak environments as turnkey products.
A software development kit that runs on both Linux and Mac OS X is available. Applications are source-compatible across both operating systems and can run on ordinary desktop and laptop computers in addition to gesturally-equipped g-speak machines and clusters.
If we discover a large meteor heading straight towards Earth and detonate it, we are thoroughly fucked anyway because instead one meteor we will be showered by several fragments.
I just don't see how this would hurt torrents in any way. (unless you talk about cliques of people worried about their private trackers, who might be exposed to public by some seach feature, in which case solution is not use client that does that.)
Also, Torrent was hardly centralized lately, popular cients support several tracers per torrent, user-to-user peer exchange and tracer discovery. Hell, those "centralized servers" usually just offered torrents with trackers from other domains with quite shamefull quality. Even tpb has its share of fakes.
Quality torrents will still be avaiable thought miracle of.torrent files at directories. ED2K network worked exactly like this before life was sucked from it by torrent/rapidstuff. and it was flawless: get link from trusted source first, try search if it fails. win/win
It requires extensive scouting for parts that actually work, and obtaining them.
And when you get it and make sense of data, you would want to transfer it somewhere: you will end-up leapfrogging it trough couple of systems each decade apart from other unless you can interface everything with your target system (either not option or you would miss some hardware).
Definitely say good-bye to single, power efficient machine and say hi to couple of hard to maintain dinosaurs.
Define problem (your product is useless brick without software), show where it would cost your company dearly (someone using your equipment suing your ass off when they make critical business decidion based obn results from your faulty equipment), come up with two alternative solutions. (good internal practices, opensourcing, hirinig third party company)
Make power point presentation, call everyone you can on meeting and present it. Scare higherups to action. Make sure you don't blame anyone for this problem. Make sure you don't threaten anyone's position with solutions.
I guess it is not hard to just drop packets they cant analyze from hosts they don't have on "trusted host, can encrypt" list.
That way, if you need encryption for acceptable uses, you have no problem as your host is trusted by ISP. If you want encryption for something else, well, its time to look into stenography.
Well, you will end up on "Affiliates with wabcjok treehuggers, not patriotic, possible terrorist" list that government has anyway. Plus you will be on "funds anti-patriotic organizations" list. That's one hell of skeleton in your closet even if that ad does not get broadcasted (Will some TV station have balls to accept this deal? Most likely it will get stopped on executive level).
Basic "Hello 3D" with triangle rotating can be done in ~ 20 lines.
It takes a while to grasp, but it encourages and rewards experimentation.
First they will fiddle with numeric constants and see what it ends up, then they will add lines to add more objects, eventually learning cycles and arrays for some animation...
Just don't bore them with background stuff unless they want to know it.
And its the same in Czech republic, Poland, Germany... etc etc...
Not having ICQ gets you weird looks just like having no cell phone. Mentioning that you use Messenger and asking someone whats his Messenger id makes you look like looser/outcast.
Remember 13375p34k? Used to be everywhere on the net? I realised recently that I'd barely seen any of it in the past couple of years- not since around the time that newspapers started printing guides explaining those strange words your children type.
No, its because everyone realized how lame it is.
Plus, teenager can endure only so much of "learn to write properly, idiot" replies when he comes to semi serious forums and spawns half page of unreadable garbage. Realization that all the really cool people look down to you for leetspeaking... priceless.
Even without this analysis it was kinda obvious that throttle-happy ISPs would simply throttle all encrypted data once encrypting became mainstream in P2P.
There are plenty of people who would volunteer for such suicide mission even if they were NOT terminally ill.
Really, if you can have people whose JOB is to murder other people and public is totally confortable with it (hint: its Soldier), volunteers for suicide missions should not concern public at all.
Cultural taboo to overcome is "suicide", not "kill".

Now, was I the only one excited and then let down because speedread left though title left me with "Cool, Folding@home@mobile phones".
Shame.

It's getting old hardware that'll challenge you.

I am fairly sure he would be Jew.
Is this what you wanted to hear, mr. Godwin?
Agreed.

Mythos was not supposed to be free-as-idea or free-as-beer. It was supposed to follow Guild Wars and Diablo style:
Buy it once, play online forever for free. Then you buy expansions.
Model is quite profitable, and Ex-blizzard developer favorite one.
She is wife of slashdotter/geek. I am fairly sure that she is constantly spending all her openmindeness on her husband.
Oh, right, i must have had hot-ish geeky women on my mind when i wrote this.
They can ban encryption.
I guess it is not hard to just drop packets they cant analyze from hosts they don't have on "trusted host, can encrypt" list.

Why are you limiting yourself to America? Geeks all over the world need some love!
Ups, i misread that as "The War On Privacy"
Or you can simply use adblock or monkey to kill googles tracking system.

People tried something like this with Samizdat in Communist times: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charter_77 It didn't end well for most of them.

I take it you don't like him?
Who do they resell their data to?
What has access to their system? Is every single tech person they employ trustworthy?
Is their security good enough?
Who is middle man to your TCP transmitions?
Do you trust your ISP?
Do you login outside your PC? Can you trust those computers?
Who else has access to your PC? Who can hack your PC?
And its the same in Czech republic, Poland, Germany ... etc etc ...
