Dear All,

BioTorrents: A File Sharing Service for Scientific Data
http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0010071

How do you guys think about BioTorrents?
Well, it will need to use the well-known,
widely-used BitTorrent software for sharing
scientific data via the Internet. OK, here my
stupid question is "why not?"

Yep, some porn videos will be expected to be
downloaded by using BT, and the downloading
of copyrighted softwares and games might
also make troubles. However, I think we shall
accept the new ways to connect this new world,
and shall not close our mind simply because
of being afraid to open Pandora's Box. The
consequence of personal behaviours shall not
be taken by the whole community. So? Well, plz
let me use the P2P software in this building! QQ

Additionally, a quite dangerous gossip from PTT:
"porn videos were mostly downloaded via PI's IP."

Yes, that's cool. Maybe it's the reason why we
will not be able to use BT at Academia Sinica
forever and ever. XDDD

Happy New Year!

Best
