Opera blurb wrote:Opera today unveiled Opera Unite, a new technology that shakes up the old client-server computing model of the Web. Opera Unite turns any computer into both a client and a server, allowing it to interact with and serve content to other computers directly across the Web, without the need for third-party servers.
Opera Unite makes serving data as simple and easy as browsing the Web. For consumers, Opera Unite services give greater control of private data and make it easy to share data with any device equipped with a modern Web browser.
Now emos, goths, pedos, furries and many other deviants can host their own websites.
No longer will they be bound by the puritanical content restrictions foisted on them by fascist webhosting companies.

in the context of FTP, yes... but that's not exactly illegal... i run a personal FTP server at home for the family to dump pics/films, etc... that's fine...
also, we can be sure that the service isn't going to be entirely anonymous - someone has to manage some flavour of central DNS service for this to work...

The Opera Unite software will most likely use some sort of Dynamic DNS system to track IP changes, kinda like the service ZoneEdit provides. Time will tell.
I bet computer crackers and hackers world wide are very exited about this technology. Especially since the runners of these sites will be a bunch of adolescent emos or other semi computer literate / illiterate users.
I was about to post how much I absolutely love Opera 10.10 that was released today.
I find it a lekker jump from the previous version (in terms of features, etc.)
I actually think Unite is pretty useful --> I mean, it allows me to stream my music from home to school, gives me something similar to DropBox (although I use Ubuntu One), and gives me a whole bunch of other useful stuff.
and most importantly, it's got me using Opera again after using Chromium exclusively on Linux for over 6 months now.
NOTE: I'm not emo / stupid / whatever in any way.

geocities...
But it was so glittery and bright. It was a joy to see a geocities site. I made it a personal thing to see one site everyday and now that it is gone I need to see glittery vampires...
/sarcasm
I saw this unite thing and was wondering if it worth the time to investigate and currently I am not interested but I bet you one thing. This feature will get to FF and the fanbois will claim FF thought of it first /for all I know FF might have this already in which case FF proved they failed first...

Lol, you still on about that? Can I assume the gf wants you to see it with her?

Sadly I did not fall asleep during the movie as there was a bit more humour to this movie than the first one. Though I'm not sure what was funnier, the movie or hearing a whole bunch of women cream their pants every time one of the lead men took a shirt off...
