That idea would also exponentially increase the load on trackers. Sending checksums in a tracker request could end up making the tracker requests go from being less than 500 bytes per request to being almost the size of the.torrent files or larger on each request.
What if the "significant cheating" is really due to the user having a faster broadband link now than they had before? Are you going to ban people for seeding faster?
Would creating a random token, then encrypting that token to the user's password, then storing the unencrypted token outside of (or concatenated with) the encrypted data be considered "hashing" too ?
Phase-change media, like CD-RW, will easily outlast my children.
That is only true if you get a good brand (or good batch or whatever) of CDRW's. I've had brand new Memorex CDRW's that LOST all their data 1 week after having data burned on them, without ever leaving my cool desk and without ever being in direct sunlight.
What would be nice is if there was some sort of support for "sub-users", or some sort of sub-level type of users that are limited within one's user account with less privileges than the main user. So user "bob" and "joe" can each have a sub-user named "firefox" (that the app sets up for every account on the system when installed by the admin) that is limited to a small set of dirs inside the user's home directory. If the app tries accessing any dirs outside the default set of allowed dirs, the O/S should display a dialog saying that the app is trying to access areas outside where it is allowed and give the user a choice to "allow" or "deny" that (just once for the duration of the app being open). That dialog should also outline how unsafe it is to grant an app full access to one's files and offer an option to "always allow the app full access to my files". Once an app is granted access to all the user's files, its titlebar or the window border should change to a different color so the user knows the app has more privileges than another app.
Could that be solved with a "Jump to Articles" or "Jump to Contents" link at the top of the links/navigation list and a "Back to Navigation" or "Back to top" link at the top of the content area that only displays when CSS is not being used?
Well, one idea is having location info sent out via DHCP so any device grabbing an IP via DHCP can also get its own physical location in the DHCP response. That way, no matter where you plug your device at, it would be able to "know its own location" and therefore, would be able to send that location when dialing 911. Sadly, even if this is done, chances are, not everyone would be doing it.
Also: people will keep on clicking on search results until they find what they were looking for. So, the last one clicked on most likely is the one that satisfies the user.
How did the PhoenixNet BIOS, that had spyware or adware or whatever that it installed when you booted windows, pull it off without appearing as a drive to windows?

or maybe it is only really a form of authentication but isn't remotely like a hash?

Ah, sorry about that then.

Doesn't BrightHouse or Time Warner Digital Phone service offer on-site techs for VoIP line issues?
Isn't that only required for people with bad aim?

Didn't they make the DHTML unreadable (getting rid of newlines and long variable/function names) so it can download faster on slower connections?
Add to that list "or if the player were to completely shatter the CD while trying to read it in the drive.". I've seen it happen once.

But, does it have load-balancing and failover features in it?
