We've actually thought about writing a book before, although not necessarily as a big source of revenue. We've probably have to make a good chunk of change before we'd have the resources to really put something like that together though. It could be really neat if done well (and a lot of fun).

I was reading about the book as posted. I would only buy it if it was C++. Java is just to slow. I really hope that it is the Borland Jbuilder that is slow as hell, also working with both Java and C++ i think that java is harder to deal with. So would the book have both a C++ and java client? also you could make it like a college book so it could be used for network client writing 101? or some thing along that lines?

We definitely would not recode the entire program for the sake of the book, so any source code available in a book would probably be in Java. That said, this conversation is probably a bit premature, as we don't have any real plans to publish a book any time in the near future.

Hmm,

what is generally with the merchandising idea?

i'm not casting a vote but i would like to state a my opinion about Spyware!!!

lets rename that term

TROJAN


let quite fooling ourselfs spyware is a invasion of our privacy!!!
it is software(VIRUS) that is bundled up in programs like this one to record and react to your surfing habbits!!! now let me put it in lamans terms
you and your partner just bought a house..from some Big developer......but without you knowing before you move in they install little cameras' all over the house (big privacy invasion right??)would you like that? you would be mighty ****ED OFF!!,
you might even take legal action...but you find out that this is legal and why??? so that the developer can learn what you like in a house, were you hang out, where you put you furniture or what ever let you imagination go wild !!!
now this is all hypotheticaly speaking ofcourse......

or is it??

i don't think so

because thats were things like spyware lead!!! (really)
because all it take is someone (like a home devoper) to say hey they can get away with it, and so why can't I?

now think about it
if they can do this now!!! whats it going to be like in ten years?
that thought scares me!!
i hope i made a good point for all of you whom don't understand what spyware is.
and if you want a great program to combat this (virus)it is called adware and you can find it at www.lavasoftusa.com

We have discussed this problem...

now we try to find other solotions!

Do you have one?

Morgwen

There's a massive difference between BUYING a house and being GIVEN a house (with strings attached)learn the difference...
I detest Spyware as much as the next person,it doesn't have any relevance on my PC 'cause,I,like many others do not need any programmes that come bundled with it,there are ALWAYS alternatives...

Morgwen,yes YOU and others may have "discussed this problem" yet this is an open forum/thread for anyone to discuss Limewire related topics.As a moderator you don't have the authority to tell others what to think and when to think it.

Yes me and others have discussed this problem and all others can join this discussion...

there are several threads in this forum here and he can post there his opinion...

but "this" thread here is about finding new solutions!

Get it?

But thank you for explaining me my job! :rolleyes:

Morgwen

Thanks for clearing that up,I'm sure Gnutella users worldwide will be able to sleep tonight 'cause Morgwen has decided we can speak.Pleaasssse...
See above..

Do you? YET
Thanks Morgwen, for your contribution towards Gnutella,which as far as I can see involves totally slagging off Limewire,being a traitor to Bearshare (for those that don't know Morgwen the German is a moderator on this forum,Bearshare,also a mod at the official German Bearshare site???? don't ask why....)yet he continues to say how crap Bearshare is compared to the competition..
As well as being a forum troll, what exactly is your "job" Morgwen
