It's just like DRM! I think that if They want to spend their money developing software to solve our puzzles then that's a nice waste of resources and we can come up with different puzzles. The worst thing that will happen if a puzzle is broken is that there's an advance in AI and all the lists get spammed for a few days (we can keep puzzles in reserve and release them right away). Maybe I can event some puzzles and then They can hire me to break them. What fun! But really, the people with the free resources to break puzzles are generally not against us or else can just hire a mass of puzzle solvers anyway. _______________________________________________ Devl mailing list Devl at freenetproject.org http://lists.freenetproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devl >From - Thu May 3 00:17:28 2001 Return-Path: <devl-admin at freenetproject.org> Received: from hawk.freenetproject.org (postfix@[4.18.42.11]) by funky.danky.com (8.9.3/8.8.7) with ESMTP id UAA12597 for <danello at danky.com>; Wed, 2 May 2001 20:49:26 -0400 Received: from hawk.freenetproject.org (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by hawk.freenetproject.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 6A1E85815F; Wed, 2 May 2001 18:25:05 -0700 (PDT) Delivered-To: devl at freenetproject.org Received: from server5.generalmail.com (server5.fpw.ch [194.209.117.20]) by hawk.freenetproject.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 4CE88580B9 for <devl at freenetproject.org>; Wed, 2 May 2001 18:24:57 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost ([194.209.117.3]) by server5.generalmail.com (Post.Office MTA v3.5 release 215 ID# 0-58584U1100L100S0V35) with ESMTP id com for <devl at freenetproject.org>; Thu, 3 May 2001 02:41:14 +0200 Received: from tavin by localhost with local (Exim 3.22 #1 (Debian)) id 14v7mF-0006or-00 for <devl at freenetproject.org>; Wed, 02 May 2001 21:19:31 -0400 From: Tavin Cole <ta...@mailandnews.com> To: devl at freenetproject.org Subject: Re: [freenet-devl] client event / request state semantics Message-ID: <20010502211931.F17631 at niss> References: <20010502205210.B17631 at niss> <Pine.OSF.4.33.0105021958140.18651-100000 at moe.cc.utexas.edu> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.3.15i In-Reply-To: <Pine.OSF.4.33.0105021958140.18651-100000 at moe.cc.utexas.edu>; from blanu at uts.cc.utexas.edu on Wed, May 02, 2001 at 08:03:24PM -0500 Sender: devl-admin at freenetproject.org Errors-To: devl-admin at freenetproject.org X-BeenThere: devl at freenetproject.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.0.3 Precedence: bulk Reply-To: devl at freenetproject.org
