Talk:Entropy (anonymous data store)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
You know, I thought "entropy" was something else entirely. Not even a link to the general concept of entropy? You do realize, Wikipedians, that eventually this "encyclopedia" will be completely subsumed by brand names?
There *is* a disambiguation page...
The "Why not Freenet?" section is completely POV. I don't know enough about Entropy to fix it, but someone should.
[edit] Decent machine
"but can be run without notice on a decent machine."
This not a good term to use in any computer related document. What is a decent machine to the writer may not be a decent machine to the reader. The "decent machine" at time of writing may become a very out dated machine only a few months later. My definition of a "decent machine" is one that is <800mhz, but in some circles (such as gaming), a "decent machine" may need to be in excess of 3ghz. Someone needs to find and fix this. Someone else needs to make this official policy. --CalPaterson 5 July 2005 17:36 (UTC)
I totally agree. In fact, those two articles really refer to the same thing.
Plus, CalPaterson is right about this "decent machine".
Finally, we are at least two that thought entropy was something totally different ;-) Being a physicist now working as an IT Admin, I thought I was about to read an article about the thermodynamics of data on the Internet... What a disapointment hehehe
[edit] Merge with main Entropy article
I oppose this as the subjects have very little to do with each other. Articles should only be merged if they share the subject. This is more like just a fancy brand name than anything else. -- Northgrove 20:53, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
I also oppose merging this with main Entropy article. Would be pointless to merge this with another article just because they share the same fucking name.
- Be Civil. Also, as I just came across this article, it's pretty clear that they are the same thing (see: matching external links), though both were obviously written in two different styles. Radagast83 01:05, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
