More so than PCs in general? PCs in general are mostly laptops outside of work nowadays, aren't they? (Translation: We're doomed! We're all doomed!) > or not to use the > network is an open question.

I wonder if there's any way to detect that the user is running a laptop pre-install... or post-install for that matter... :) Anyway even on a desktop we will still have poor uptime, so I guess there's little point in nagging the user about it. To clarify for anyone who hasn't got the picture yet: Low uptime is very bad for Freenet. Low uptime darknet is nearly impossible for Freenet. Poor connectivity is bad for Freenet. Uncontrolled NATs and mobile nodes are bad for Freenet. To sum it up: LAPTOPS ARE BAD FOR FREENET! 0.10, as currently planned, will help a bit, but even so, uptime is always going to be a serious problem... Should we show a flashing warning sign if our uptime is below some percentage? > Florent -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
