Kawaks

The Emulator Zone - Kawaks: "Kawaks has been one of the emulators of choice for newer games such as Metal Slug 3. This emulator supports both Neo-Geo and Capcom (CPS1/2) games. This can probably be considered the ePSXe of arcade emus; some [small] configurating must be done prior to actual gaming, but once that's out of the way, the playing can begin!

Among Kawaks' primary features is netplay, something that makes gaming so enjoyable. Do you feel a need to find a guy to terrorize aliens? Hop on to a server and blast away! Want to have a one-on-one with a friend in Marvel vs. Capcom? Netplay is your answer."

WASTE is RSA secured, and has been hearalded as the most secure P2P connection protocol currently in development"

Advantage of Kenosis

thom: weblog: "Plus, BitTorrent already has a multi-tracker keyword. Why use DNS? Couldn't each .torrent theoretically be configured at inception with an order of operations as to which trackers it should contact?

No, decentralization is a human endeavor in my opinion, and breaks off from being centralized when neccesary. Don't people remember all the private Napster (OpenNap) servers?"

IMO, multi-tracker in Bt doesn't help us in situation that all tracker has been eliminated by any reason. But, kenosis solves this problem very easily by dynamic DNS which immediately looking for the appropriate tracker available in its P2P network.

However, Kenosis is not the best P2P but its idea is very cool. Other P2Ps focus on transferring data between peer or sharing files among them. Kenosis, instead, focus on finding nodes and services in efficient way. There is potential to use Kenosis to implement eXeem.

MPAA releases piracy check software

Geek.com Geek News - MPAA releases piracy check software: "The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) is currently taking a number of actions to try to curb piracy, including suing individuals and taking legal action against certain file trading sites, like BitTorrent, eDonkey, and the DirectConnect network. The MPAA's latest effort is the release of a piece of software aimed at parents that allows them to check their home PC for illegal music and movie files as well as P2P software.

The application is called Parent File Scan (PFS), and was developed by the Denmark-based firm DtecNet. Not only does PFS scan a machinem, it also gives users the option to delete anything it deems possibly illegal. However, the software download page clearly states that PFS cannot tell what is and isn't legal--it just identifies anything that might be and leaves it up to the user to differentiate. The page also states that no information gathered is seen by anyone other than the user, so the MPAA has no access to it.

Tests carried out on PFS have found applications such as the chat program mIRC and the streaming Web radio service Mecora both classed as file-swapping software."

BitTorrent Remains Powerhouse Network

Slyck News - BitTorrent Remains Powerhouse Network: "After the initial success of placing fear into BitTorrent tracker operators and forcing several sites offline, the mainstream media heralded these events as a great victory for the MPAA and impending doom for file-sharing.

However, after a month and half since the fall of SuprNova.org and the MPAA's anti-piracy campaign, the BitTorrent network not only remains fully intact, it still is by far the largest file-sharing network."

Javascript Date and Time
