FORCE businesses into.biz and.com schools into.edu and only groups and orginazations get.org while internet services providers are forced with.net... slashdot will have to become a.com because it is a BUSINESS.
So what about porn sites that do business? Are they.prn.biz or.com? How about a community ISP --.org or.net? Where would my personal webpage go? I can't have a.com address anymore I guess. And what's the difference between.biz and.com anyway? You already seem confused whether it should be slashdot.com or slashdot.biz!
All this categorizing and nitpicking sounds ridiculous, but the point is that this is what we would have to deal with if we started forcing TLDs based on website content. It just IS NOT PRACTICAL.
And don't even get me started on how we would go about deciding what constitutes "material harmful to minors".
Internet researcher Jupiter Media Metrix estimates that consumers will receive about 206 billion junk e-mailings in 2006--an average of 1,400 per person, compared with about 700 per person this year.
Still, that's only about 4/day which seems very conservative to me.
The folks at Digital Fountain are indeed using a highly-tuned (and proprietary) version of tornado codes. I also recommend the following papers if you're interested in what I think has the potential to be the greatest thing since TCP: tornado codes + end-system multicast
<shameless plug> I'm currently working on a research project with John and others that integrates tornado codes and end-system multicast into a Freenet-like system. Best of all, it's GPL'd! </shameless plug>
