I agree with the frequently stated opinion in the slashdot thread that the best thing to do is to never, never, never, look at that source code for the sake of any future software development that I might do.

Groklaw has a discussion on this. That site has been a treasure to anyone following the SCO/Linux controversy.

The site maintainer, Pamela Jones, or PJ as she is called there, strongly recommends against peeking at the code.

I think BitTorrent is great. I am using it at this moment to download a Fedora distribution. An interesting article on the about the utility and the author was published in the New York Times on the February 12th ([URL=http://www.nytimes.com/2004/02/12/technology/circuits/12shar.html?pagewanted=2&ei=5062&en=0abdc236252b8a71&ex=1077166800&partner=GOOGLE]File Sharing's New Face[/URL]). Here is the slashdot on it: [URL=http://slashdot.org/articles/04/02/12/1821221.shtml?tid=126]BitTorrent's Creator Bram Cohen Interviewed[/URL]

It is an interesting read. Covers the application, implications, and the author Bram Cohen. Despite such a widely used utility, Bram Cohen had been in suprisingly poor financial circumstances until quite recently.

He notes that BitTorrent is not anonymous; that anonymity is "fundamentally antithetical to the architecture."

What I've always wanted-windows that crashes in 64 bits instead of just 32 bits. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Why not switch to Linux and leave that overpriced Windows bull:censored: behind?
