It's indeed a bit like P2P but then at the IP nodes level: normal P2P doesn't reduce traffic, it shares it amongst peers. I believe he wants to get rid of the ISP altogether. The problem, obiously, is how to finance it all and enforce people to store others' data.
Konqueror and iCab almost pass (and claim to pass), but they both fail to apply one of the styles required by the test, and as a result they display a scrollbar even though they shouldn't (the Acid 2 guide neglects to mention this style, but see the source code for the test itself)
If people eventually really do make a problem about it you could hack your package manager to print out the author, or if not available an url to the website containing author information.
Although I wonder whether it would be usefull to know all the authors of the linux kernel for instance.

Maybe they implemented a protection to block IM virusses that propogate by sending links, but made it too generic.
It's nice to be able to do something more efficient than flock. Yeah, shared semaphores are kind of threading stuff too.
HDCP has been broken, and has been proved to be weak in 2001 twice. See http://apache.dataloss.nl/~fred/www.nunce.org/hdcp /hdcp111901.htm
IMHO this is just whining.
