Firecoral’s goal is to scale web content distribution to end users by allowing mutually distrustful users to share their web browser caches, yet ensure the authenticity of content and enable users to preserve privacy by expressing flexible content sharing policies. To achieve these goals, we have built a Firefox extension that uses subscription-based XPath queries to extract URLs from web sites and redirect them to a proxy server running inside the browser.

Ever clicked on a 'hot-link' in Slashdot or Digg and received a "webserver too busy" or "this webpage has exceeded its bandwidth quota" message?? Then you are all too familiar with the Slashdot or Digg effect. Flashback is our experimental web-server that is meant to address this problem using a unique approach. In Flashback, the browsers visiting the overloaded site are dynamically recruited into a P2P system to help share the load.

Big Ball of Mud

This paper examines this most frequently deployed of software architectures: the BIG BALL OF MUD. A BIG BALL OF MUD is a casually, even haphazardly, structured system. Its organization, if one can call it that, is dictated more by expediency than design. Yet, its enduring popularity cannot merely be indicative of a general disregard for architecture.

The Bottom Feeder: So Here's How Many Games I Sell.
jeff-vogel.blogspot.com/2009/03/so-heres-how-many-games-i-sell.html, posted 2009 by peter in business toread
I am going to give full sales results for our game Geneforge 4: Rebellion. I am not the first Indie developer to reveal this sort of information. However, most public sales figures come from projects that were either blockbusters or disastrous. But our games have never landed in either pool. I have been doing this for a living for almost fifteen years. I make good money, but I'm not a rich guy. At the same time, I have been unusually successful in this business, if for nothing else that I HAVE done it for a living for a long time.

Parliament isn't sure it wants to keep the place; the major local industry is smuggling; the merchant cartels want her head; the star-conquering, so-called "Republic" of Haven is Up To Something; and Honor Harrington has a single, over-age light cruiser with an armament that doesn't work to police the entire star system.
But the people out to get her have made one mistake. They've made her mad.
