I agree about IANA handing out too much address space. I can think of several organizations - if that's what you want to call them - that have entire Class A's for themselves, and utilize very little of that space compared to what's available. The problem is, they've got them, and they're not exactly going to be given back.
Funny to think back when whitehouse.gov was owned by the phf hole years after a patch was available. And www.army.mil getting owned by the IIS msadc bug, which the patch had also been available for quite some time. Of course these things happened years ago, but I will attest to the fact that the biggest problems are:
1. FAR too many publically available services, and
2. Not enough protection for critical machines - host and network wise.
These things have always happened, are happening now, and will continue to happen far into the future. "Nothing could possibly happen" has already happened many, many times over and it's not slowing down.
I found it incredibly slow. The first day I used it, I specifically looked for the torrent with the most seeds. Of course, the file with the most seeds was a porn clip, around 10M or so with several hundred seeds. Even with the high amount of seeds (and peers) I didn't download any faster than around 10kB/s, which is far from my limit. Even in subsequent tries I still find it slow.
ABC is nice indeed. If you are an advocate of BitTornado, but prefer a single window for all of your downloads, ABC is the client for you. (It uses BitTornado as its core, so you get all of BitTornado + extra features + a single window).
Jesus Christ, I am glad I will never be on this network again - this is what I got redirected to when I tried to reply:
Network Intrusion Detected
The SolutionIP Server has detected questionable traffic originating from this computer. Your service has been slowed to 56K for the next 10 minutes.
The "Network Intrusion" that was detected? Me doing a HEAD / HTTP/1.0 on your server =)
I've just slashdotted myself!
I expect to see this available via PPV by early next year. Why do I get the feeling this has already been done in Japan (or will be done first in Japan)?
That about sums it up. I think it would be wise to assume that whatever the NSA is recommending is not something they are above taking control of if need be.
I wonder if we could convince Microsoft to write an addon to Outlook Express that converts embedded gifs into ascii art before the email gets sent? Now that is something I could get behind.
Slashdot Mirror
"but this gives each torrent a single responsible party for its uploading."
Bingo. This is beneficial to legitimate users, but not to the point of origin for otherwise illegal content.

Metroid was but I have no clue about Kid Icarus.

Good luck is right ;)

Will soon party!
