aM laboratory Perceptual Science Group at MIT Feature from PC Magazine: P2P Goes Private New peer-to-peer services let you set up private communities where you can safely exchange data with people you know. When someone says "peer-to-peer file sharing," you probably think of applications like eDonkey, Kazaa, and Morpheus. You think of millions of people freely swapping songs, movies, and software across the Internet. You might even think of all the other people who used to use these networks but who have quit, afraid they'll be next in the line of lawsuits filed by the major record labels and movie studios that claim these massive networks and their users violate copyrights. But there's another side to P2P file sharing, a side that belies its reputation. Suddenly, all sorts of companies are offering P2P applications that forgo enormous, Kazaa-like public networks in favor of much smaller, private networks—apps like Groove, Grouper, PiXPO, and Qnext. Some of them swap nothing but photos (see "Share Your Photos").

The Nine Planets Razorback2 killed ONE OF the largest eDonkey2000 P2P communities, Razorback2 has been shut down. The network, with more than three million users, has been switched off after a Federal Belgian Police raid. Razorback2's servers and a suspected administrator were seen being pushed into paddy-wagons. Meanwhile Swiss authorities have arrested the site's operator at his home. Although some users might be able to ping what appear to be Razorback2 servers, word on the street is that these are being operated by the copyright enforcement bodies. Razorback2 was an important eDonkey2000 indexing server and was only available through an eDonkey2000 client such as eMule. The Motion Picture Association (MPA) has issued a press release claiming a great victory in its war against pirates. Chairman and CEO Dan Glickman said the operators chose not to exercise control over files being traded by users which including those containing "child pornography, bomb-making instructions and terrorist training videos".

Méditer avec l'éthérisme des plantes Il y a plusieurs façons d’apréhender le travail spirituel avec les plantes.

Celon ma perception, l’esprit de la plante est comme une "matrice" d’énergie. Pour travailler avec une plante, il est utile de s’intéroger sur la proximité intérieure que l’on entretient avec elle. La plante pour vivre requiert de la terre et de l’eau.
