I don't think it will hurt, but of course you had a point about checking these things before we implement. > Of course, in an ideal world we would be able to verify this through > simulation before trying it out in real life, but nobody seems > interested in doing simulations these days, and I suspect it would never > happen if simulation was a precondition to implementation. Quite the contrary, extensive simulating is one my main goals for this summer. And besides my employed work for Freenet Project, Scott and I have comited ourselves to do simulating for our speech in DC in September (not performance simulation, but it still means dusting off a simulator). > What are people's thoughts on this? I'm still not sure. On the one hand it might help, on the other hand I feel that diskspace is so much cheaper than bandwidth that it feels dumb not to cache stuff. I'd feel better about a weighting system for where in the store the data ends up... -- 'DeCSS would be fine. Where is it?' 'Here,' Montag touched his head. 'Ah,' Granger smiled and nodded.
