"You need a media file server. That file server must respond to requests for file downloads from users. You need one or more distribution servers. The media server must redirect download requests to a distribution server, and the decision of which one must be based on network throughput."
BBS meets all of those. We've had internet-based (not dial-up) BBSes do the exact same thing. Why, yes, you CAN redirect a modem line to a new server on the fly. Once it's connected to the main server, that internally-assigned IP address can be dynamically changed. And in fact, you don't even have to change the modem line, just switch which server the main one is retrieving information from depending upon other server loads.
Network topologies - mine are strange, but essentially I've been doing exactly what has been described in the patent since 1995, when I was 13.
Been running Nucleus BBS since I was 8. I'm almost 29.
"Tranzsend Broadcasting Network is developing the BlockBuster of the Internet, by electronic transfer to computers which are conected to the TV, for the same cost of rental plus a dime."
Looks like Netflix is going to be their primary target and they're using Bittorrent as the scape goat to make it an easy win.
Some weeks ago, we smashed into Brink with our heavy artillery Lulz Cannons and decided to switch to ninja mode. From our LFI entry point, we acquired command execution via local file inclusion of enemy fleet Apache vessel. We then found that the HTTPD had SSH auth keys, which let our ship SSH into other servers. See where this is going?
We then switched to root ammunition rounds. And we rooted... and rooted... and rooted...
After mapping their internal network and thoroughly pillaging all of their servers, we grabbed all their source code and database passwords, which we proceeded to shift silently back to our storage deck.
Sounds competent enough to me. It's Bethesda who was incompetent.
"the people that come after you actually know what they are doing"
Well, that leaves the USA completely out of the running. They're stupid enough to have critical defense networks exposed to the open internet and ZERO airgap.
1. Yes, same store I applied to just last week. I just got back from the second interview. 2. Plenty of Benefits +401K 3. Very casual dress code (I walked in with a shirt that said "It ain't going to suck itself" with an arrow pointed down towards my crotch to this interview.) 4. Janitor/sales clerk. Short script? Store Monkey.
Yep, it's one for the bucket list! I needed the extra cash since R&D eats up almost 99% of profits.

I'm surprised nobody's been buying those $100 American Platinum Eagle coins in bulk and then using them in Utah, which has just recently set up a weekly price quote per ounce of platinum to set the weekly value of that coin. $100 investment gets you a $1500-1800 token in Utah. Bullion coin is getting recognized in Utah, take advantage of it while you can!

Rage3D would make a Windows 7 system nearly unusable, at least for Aero.

This suit is EXACTLY about money.

"I don't believe I saw any BBSs in the 80s or 90s that would identify average network throughput and route user requests accordingly."
So, you never ran a multi-node BBS, then?
Yes, this patent is pure bullshit with prior art existing back to the 80s.
You must not know much about Microsoft's history. Embrace, Extend, Extinguish.
"How many cars have you set fire to?"
Nice try, FBI.
Well, in all honesty, at older scrapyards in Texas back in the 80s, we set several cars and tire piles on fire.
Seat cushions today are still mostly petroleum-based and contain plenty of energy to be released.
Takes me about ten seconds with my triple-jet torch lighter. One good swipe across the back set and the car will do the rest on its own.
Yes, stay the hell away from Blood too, Gearbox!
I know. I was joking back at you. Or was I?
Which ones? The weekly ones I get as a result of my involvement in critical industries?
Yea, Nuclear power plants can cause much more damage if forced to go critical.
IBM researchers were able to gain access to Nuclear Reactors, for one, from the outside.
Stay the FUCK Away from Shadow Warrior.
You get anywhere CLOSE to it and I'll personally firebomb your offices.
"Now that Gearbox has finally put this beast to rest, I wonder what they could do with the license starting from scratch?"
Not a goddamned thing. They ran this shit into the ground.
That's coming from a very hardcore DN3D fan. They screwed the pooch on this one.

Here, have a handy chart.

"The moral majority is correct on this, sex with multiple partners is socially irresponsible."
Too bad morals and the laws of nature don't get along. Guess which one is more correct?
Prohint: It's not the monkeys.
"Getting a new job involves time searching for it"
Just for shits and grins I have my second interview at a sex toy store tomorrow.
It isn't *THAT* hard. You just need to be SMART.
Hi, if you bothered to take a look at a graph of the performance of Bitcoin since 2009, you would CLEARLY see this being the bull trap phase.

This is known as the 'bull trap' period.
"Salting is now mostly irrelevant because the latest consumer ATI card can calculate 5.5 BILLION MD*/SHA* hashes per second."
And that's why you write your own non-standard algorithm that makes GPU busting almost impossible due to modern GPU architecture.
Notice how ATi cards are beating nVidia cards in bitcoin generation. It's almost purely an architectural issue.
