Advances in Decentralized Peer Networks

PureFiction writes "Peer networks are gaining some attention these days given advances in much more decentralized search architectures and swarming distribution networks. Research has indicated that these decentralized networks are resistant to legal and technological attacks. The continued proliferation of broadband and wireless networking will ensure pervasive deployment of distributed peer networking infrastructure that will drive significant innovations in personal and community digital communications services."

but I had to try.

props to the .test community and poop bot

It's a shame..

[Anonymous Coward]

that every word couldn't be a hyperlink.

Chicago, what?

Interesting story but

[ryepup]

But I wish he had posted a link or something.

15...

Offtopic, but...

15 links on a story!! And it's not a Slashback... now I see why my stories never make it...

I guess it would've paid off to listen more in algorithms class. Next thing you know, someone's going to put one of these NP circuits in P, just so music trading can be made easier/more efficient.

Slashdot & Memepool merge, film @ 11

That's what I thought when I saw all those links.

Imagine a ...

[BSOD from above]

Beowulf cluster of decentralized P2P networks acting as a beowulf cluster of decentralized P2P networks...

Well...

[NilObject]

Given enough resources, large companies can "pollute" these networks with "garbage" (i.e. corrupted songs etc.) that top people's search lists so that it becomes an intensely frustrating thing to find a full, complete, and good quality file.

Then again, I have that problem anyways. Blimey!

Gah, my eyes....

[NiftyNews]

Is it just me, or did that mess of links and words look strangely like things I read at work?

If I wanted to read horrible PC-edited, buzzword-laden, over-link tripe, I would look at the stack of paperwork on my left that is being shunned in favor of reading SlashDot.

[funklord9]

There were so many links in the title I thought I was reading memepool [memepool.com]. Thanks, I'll be here all week.

No beer?

[digidave]

At a quick glance I swear that it looked like the headline read: "Advances in Decentralized Beer Networks"

I was thinking, "The geeks have really gone too far this time."

Wow, just imagine. Someday everyone will have a P2P network of their very own! Er, wait....

Oh MAN, it will take us HOURS to slashdot these servers down! We should get paid for this stuff.
