ISP modifying .torrent file contents

Looking back almost a year, I’d just like to say — I told you so.

It works as follows. When a Bezeq International customer downloads a .torrent file the ISP will intercept it and add (!) a new tracker to it. The additional tracker is only accessible for Bezeq International customers and it connects to a high speed web-seed hosted on Bezeq International’s network.

Treating video games as software

I find this conflicting: Video games are often the driving force for kids to pursue Computer Science, and yet shipped games are often not perceived as software. Maybe the quality, integration, and user experience really is better than across other industries;



though unless the development process goes through the incredibly expensive steps of validating a safety-critical system, there will likely be some bugs left.

Bullshit legal threats for online identity management

It is unreasonable to take everything posted on forums or blogs as facts.




But since people are beginning to realize that what they say, or what is said about them, online, could actually matter, the above is ignored in favour of bullshit threats in a futile attempt at censorship.
