    Firefox Extension Promises Private P2P
    By Ed Oswald, BetaNews
    August 24, 2006, 5:00 PM

    AllPeers released a beta Thursday of what it called the most ambitious Firefox extension to date, a peer-to-peer application that would allow friends and family to share files and content between one another in a private setting.

    Unlike the major P2P networks, AllPeers allows the sharing of files securely and privately.

    The application has been released on Firefox's extensions Web site, and is compatible with Windows, Mac OS and Linux. The AllPeers backend uses BitTorrent in combination with what is calls a "darknet," where the computer user will remain anonymous while transferring files.

    Its decentralized nature, however, will likely give the RIAA and MPAA fits, as the two groups have spent much of the last several years focusing on shutting down P2P networks. Without a centralized server on which to target, it could be near impossible to track what is being traded via AllPeers unless the groups infiltrate the small networks of individuals.

    AllPeers project head and CEO Cedric Maloux stressed that the application was for private transfer only. "AllPeers is for sharing privately with friends and family; not for massively distributing files amongst strangers," he said.

    The beta version still has several features missing that would make it into the final release of the software, including chat, comments, tagging, and support for external torrents. Maloux said bugs may be found across the service, which the developers would work out before the official launch.

    "I am using AllPeers everyday and have stopped attaching files to email (this is soooo 2005)," Maloux wrote in a blog post describing the product. "I also love our ability to drag and share any picture off the web but my favorite feature has to be the ability to send a webpage to my friends just by drag and drop."

    Those interested in the product can learn more by taking a product tour on the AllPeers Web site.

    Freenet: Anonymous P2P by Year's End
    By Ed Oswald, BetaNews
    August 4, 2005, 12:33 PM

    A group of developers on Wednesday said a new software tool that will allow for the swapping of files over the Internet would be available before the end of the year.

    The Freenet Project is creating what is called a "darknet," where the computer user will remain anonymous while transferring files. The system is also set up much like the Internet, meaning it is decentralized and practically impossible to shut down.

    The group released its latest test version of the software on Wednesday morning, but urged only experienced testers to try it out, as it is neither "user-friendly nor secure at this point."

    The project flies in the face of a recent decision by the United State Supreme Court, which made peer-to-peer (P2P) file services responsible for the actions of their users if they encourage illegal behavior. However, with the darknet client, there is no way to find the true identity of the downloader.

    Ian Clarke, who heads the Freenet project, said that the group does not intend to encourage copyright infringement with the new software. But Clarke added that having both freedom in communication and following copyrights is not possible, as "the two are mutually exclusive."

    The development of Freenet's darknet calls into question if P2P file sharing can ever truly be stopped. The project's Web site says, "Freenet's aim is to allow two or more people who wish to share information, to do so," and in an anonymous manner.

    Success in battle against P2P has only been possible with the help of Internet service providers handing over the identities of their users. With Freenet, that would be impossible, thus throwing a wrench in the current methods of curbing illicit downloading.

    The Freenet thing sounds both exciting and dangerous. P2P without identity is great for downloading BUT it will also allow untraceable communication between terrorists. JM2C

    I gotta bitch! (Nothing slung in creaky's direction.)

    the Intel vs AMD thread got closed and I still never got a link to a 3700+ Clawhammer. I want one bad and it's PISSING ME OFF!!!

    I can't seem to find one anywhere. I'll even buy from the UK if I have to. This is getting frustrating, I just wan't to show my socket 754 some love and I can't for lack of help.

    "Oh it's not in 939 so I won't bother to show you the link." FFS If you'd actually bother to listen I have a 754 build sitting around with an OC'd Sempron 3100+ that needs some power BAD!

Meaning buy tan lotion for $50 buck that expire less than 6months!!!!! Why the hell does my feet get so cold when i go to sleep at night? What's the point of bitching if no one is trying help with my fuc$ing problem. READ and TEACH. Why is school starting so early.

    Good news: fedex came.

    More bitching will come. trust me. That's the only good thing i'm good at.

I don't need a charity. Why do 90% of people use internet for porn and 10% lie? About my phone again, don't get it you think it's 2.0 USB since it's $200 phone, But it's not. It's 1.0 or 1.1. I hate emergency room. How is making me wait 4hours on the waiting room CALLED freaking emergency?!?!?!?! It's emergency! i want to get treated right AWAY.

    look what i found,

    Bad news for Microsoft Windows Media (WMA) DRM cracked!!!
    Posted By Bink on August 25, 2006 at 6:50 PM

    Engadget reports: A new app called FairUse4WM can be used to strip Windows Media DRM 10 and 11 (i.e. PlaysForSure, but not WM DRM 9). But before we proceed, let's just be totally clear on how the system works: providers like Napster and Yahoo Music Unlimited provide subscription service for unlimited access to Windows Media DRMed files; stop paying the fee, stop getting access to the files -- but you already knew all this. We tried FairUse4WM and we can verify that it quickly and easily stripped the DRM from our Napster To Go tracks, and made them freely available to play on our Mac.

    FairUse4WM strips Windows Media DRM!

    @arniebear

    We get a tax break for youngin's here in the states too...1500 per I do believe.

    @gurnard

    Since you've gotten so handy with the copy and paste you should know that you can copy and paste the [quote*][/quote*] tags from the response window and then copy and paste your quoted text inside of them...

    I gotta bitch again. My mom starts downloading a big @$$ file when I'm on Xbox live. Then the game times out and someone gives player feedback that I froze the game on purpose.

    We have a 1.5Mb/s line and my mom's got a 150KB/s download going. That leaves me with the equivalent to a mid range ISDN line. Like 300Kb/s. And Xbox live doesn't like it.

    And another complaint. People who don't see a difference between "KB" and "Kb." One KB is eight Kb. Get it straight folks :mad:

    It's "kilobytes(KB)" and "kilobits(Kb)"

    time to teach,


    If you have used a computer for more than five minutes, then you have heard the words bits and bytes. Both RAM and hard disk capacities are measured in bytes, as are file sizes when you examine them in a file viewer.

    You might hear an advertisement that says, "This computer has a 32-bit Pentium processor with 64 megabytes of RAM and 2.1 gigabytes of hard disk space." And many HowStuffWorks articles talk about bytes (for example, How CDs Work). In this article, we will discuss bits and bytes so that you have a complete understanding.



    Decimal Numbers
    The easiest way to understand bits is to compare them to something you know: digits. A digit is a single place that can hold numerical values between 0 and 9. Digits are normally combined together in groups to create larger numbers. For example, 6,357 has four digits. It is understood that in the number 6,357, the 7 is filling the "1s place," while the 5 is filling the 10s place, the 3 is filling the 100s place and the 6 is filling the 1,000s place. So you could express things this way if you wanted to be explicit:

    (6 * 1000) + (3 * 100) + (5 * 10) + (7 * 1) = 6000 + 300 + 50 + 7 = 6357

    Another way to express it would be to use powers of 10. Assuming that we are going to represent the concept of "raised to the power of" with the "^" symbol (so "10 squared" is written as "10^2"), another way to express it is like this:

    (6 * 10^3) + (3 * 10^2) + (5 * 10^1) + (7 * 10^0) = 6000 + 300 + 50 + 7 = 6357

    What you can see from this expression is that each digit is a placeholder for the next higher power of 10, starting in the first digit with 10 raised to the power of zero.

    That should all feel pretty comfortable -- we work with decimal digits every day. The neat thing about number systems is that there is nothing that forces you to have 10 different values in a digit. Our base-10 number system likely grew up because we have 10 fingers, but if we happened to evolve to have eight fingers instead, we would probably have a base-8 number system. You can have base-anything number systems. In fact, there are lots of good reasons to use different bases in different situations.

    Bits
    Computers happen to operate using the base-2 number system, also known as the binary number system (just like the base-10 number system is known as the decimal number system). The reason computers use the base-2 system is because it makes it a lot easier to implement them with current electronic technology. You could wire up and build computers that operate in base-10, but they would be fiendishly expensive right now. On the other hand, base-2 computers are relatively cheap.

    So computers use binary numbers, and therefore use binary digits in place of decimal digits. The word bit is a shortening of the words "Binary digIT." Whereas decimal digits have 10 possible values ranging from 0 to 9, bits have only two possible values: 0 and 1. Therefore, a binary number is composed of only 0s and 1s, like this: 1011. How do you figure out what the value of the binary number 1011 is? You do it in the same way we did it above for 6357, but you use a base of 2 instead of a base of 10. So:

    (1 * 2^3) + (0 * 2^2) + (1 * 2^1) + (1 * 2^0) = 8 + 0 + 2 + 1 = 11

    You can see that in binary numbers, each bit holds the value of increasing powers of 2. That makes counting in binary pretty easy. Starting at zero and going through 20, counting in decimal and binary looks like this:

    0 = 0
    1 = 1
    2 = 10
    3 = 11
    4 = 100
    5 = 101
    6 = 110
    7 = 111
    8 = 1000
    9 = 1001
    10 = 1010
    11 = 1011
    12 = 1100
    13 = 1101
    14 = 1110
    15 = 1111
    16 = 10000
    17 = 10001
    18 = 10010
    19 = 10011
    20 = 10100

    When you look at this sequence, 0 and 1 are the same for decimal and binary number systems. At the number 2, you see carrying first take place in the binary system. If a bit is 1, and you add 1 to it, the bit becomes 0 and the next bit becomes 1. In the transition from 15 to 16 this effect rolls over through 4 bits, turning 1111 into 10000.

    Bytes
    Bits are rarely seen alone in computers. They are almost always bundled together into 8-bit collections, and these collections are called bytes. Why are there 8 bits in a byte? A similar question is, "Why are there 12 eggs in a dozen?" The 8-bit byte is something that people settled on through trial and error over the past 50 years.

    With 8 bits in a byte, you can represent 256 values ranging from 0 to 255, as shown here:

    0 = 00000000
    1 = 00000001
    2 = 00000010
    ...
    254 = 11111110
    255 = 11111111

    In the article How CDs Work, you learn that a CD uses 2 bytes, or 16 bits, per sample. That gives each sample a range from 0 to 65,535, like this:

    0 = 0000000000000000
    1 = 0000000000000001
    2 = 0000000000000010
    ...
    65534 = 1111111111111110
    65535 = 1111111111111111

    Bytes: ASCII
    Bytes are frequently used to hold individual characters in a text document. In the ASCII character set, each binary value between 0 and 127 is given a specific character. Most computers extend the ASCII character set to use the full range of 256 characters available in a byte. The upper 128 characters handle special things like accented characters from common foreign languages.

    You can see the 127 standard ASCII codes below. Computers store text documents, both on disk and in memory, using these codes. For example, if you use Notepad in Windows 95/98 to create a text file containing the words, "Four score and seven years ago," Notepad would use 1 byte of memory per character (including 1 byte for each space character between the words -- ASCII character 32). When Notepad stores the sentence in a file on disk, the file will also contain 1 byte per character and per space.

    Try this experiment: Open up a new file in Notepad and insert the sentence, "Four score and seven years ago" in it. Save the file to disk under the name getty.txt. Then use the explorer and look at the size of the file. You will find that the file has a size of 30 bytes on disk: 1 byte for each character. If you add another word to the end of the sentence and re-save it, the file size will jump to the appropriate number of bytes. Each character consumes a byte.

    If you were to look at the file as a computer looks at it, you would find that each byte contains not a letter but a number -- the number is the ASCII code corresponding to the character (see below). So on disk, the numbers for the file look like this:

    F o u r a n d s e v e n
    70 111 117 114 32 97 110 100 32 115 101 118 101 110

    By looking in the ASCII table, you can see a one-to-one correspondence between each character and the ASCII code used. Note the use of 32 for a space -- 32 is the ASCII code for a space. We could expand these decimal numbers out to binary numbers (so 32 = 00100000) if we wanted to be technically correct -- that is how the computer really deals with things.
