Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't this look a lot like the FreeNet project ?
I always considered this project really exciting, the idea of spanning bis of information over thousands of hosts, but I think their of using Java is not the best one in my opinion (altghough I have nothing against it, native code may have been more appropriate).
Now, with this newcomer, I wonder how both networks will be able to survive, wouldn't it be good for all potential users to join their efforts and form a common development team ?
I'd be glad to hear your opinion on this subject, as I would be glad to switch from Napster to a more generic system.
He sure was involved in the invention of the Ethernet, but certainly the only one.
You can see it for yourself in the relevant patent here. What is it that this guys keeps on telling HE invented it, without ever mentioning the (at least) 3 other inventors name ?
Now, as he always comes with the same provocative and dumb ideas (remember the "Linux sucks" article ?), one often speaks about him, which only encourages him to keep on writing the same kind of articles.
I don't read his column in Infoworld anymore for the same reason, and don't find I miss anything by doing so. Did anyone say professional troll ?
