Something like this? http://allmydata.org/trac/tahoe

Tahoe, the Least-Authority Filesystem. This is a secure, decentralized, fault-tolerant filesystem. All of the source code is available under a choice of two Free Software, Open Source licences.

This filesystem is encrypted and spread over multiple peers in such a way that it continues to function even when some of the peers are unavailable, malfunctioning, or malicious.

Oddly enought I owned an E&S too. It was about the size of a coffee-table, used 1900W of power (just below what my fuse could handle) and when I booted it up my whole apartement started smelling like ozone. My wife wouldn't let me run this machine either.
I eventually gave it away to a computer-club.

Still kind of cool to have owned an E&S. :-)

Yeah, me too.
I have an O200 that my wife won't let me run since it's a server. She doesn't hear the music like I do, all she hears is noice... :-)

The biggest joke of them all has to be IPRED that was recently implemented in sweden. The whole law is just a big joke. A very sad one.

I can't believe that they left out "UID as a prime".

I would have had it.

*sigh*

Not too long ago I learned that phthalates were used as "softeners" in plastic containers. That's not a problem normally but if you put plastic boxes that aren't supposed to be recycled into your dishwasher to use them as a lunch-box then you have a problem since they weren't designed for such high temperatures and the phthalates are released. Same thing if you microwave it.

Boxes that are "microwave/dishwasher safe" don't have this problem naturally. This is generally printed on the container itself.

And phthalates aren't good for you. Even if you're an adult.

I don't see copyright as a joke at all. I do believe it does have a place in modern society. I don't have a problem with the fact that people who make things get paid for them, even if what they make is an intangible thing.

Painter, writers, programmers, actors and others deserve to be paid, no argument there.

I do however see the internet as a great equalizer. If the difference between what someone makes from copyright is too large compared to what other people make doing something else then the law loses its meaning for most people. They will reject the law as it is seen as unjust.

Every time there's a story about KDE a number of people complain, saying it's a failure, that the 4.x-series are dead and so on. Where does all this come from? KDE is one of the high profile open source applications along with gnome, apache, and others so it should be in our common interest to have it succeed.

Why the need for all the trash-talk? Why not focus on the positive? KDE does some things great, as does gnome and others. Constructive criticism is fine but "KDE4 sucks" is hardly constructive.

It's not like we need to fight amongst ourselves. There are plenty of other opponents out there that we could focus on. Now we're only weakening our position. I just don't get it.
