| | apster Inc. is still reeling from legal challenges, but the company gave life and validation to the concept of peer-to-peer computing, and surprisingly, the idea has caught fire in business environments, rather than the consumer realm where Napster found its home. | | | Many of the Internet's elements are peer to peer, such as file transfer and Telnet for remote logon. | | | Most peer-to-peer applications allow two or more people to work together, but peer to peer can also be used as a means to keep systems well-maintained and fully up-to-date. |

| | The K-Zone: The titles game: can you buy nobility? |
| | As far as obtaining a title is concerned, the only legitimate way to acquire the honorifics of `The Hon.', etc., is to be a peer of the realm, or a member of the immediate family of a peer of the realm, or a Privy Councillor. | | | This list includes, for example, male heirs of peers and knights, sheriffs and Justices of the Peace, officers of the royal household, QCs and senior judges, senior military officers, and people explicitly addressed as esquire by the monarch. | | | Of particular interest to title merchants are the titles of `Lord of the Manor', which is generally believed to fall on the non-noble side of the line, and Scottish title of Baron, which is generally believed to be a true noble title (at least for now). |

| | David Galbraith: January 2003 Archives |
| | When you couple this with the fact that the role of media companies as marketers and distributers is reduced by the efficiencies of digital media distribution and peer to peer recommendation, then the need for the middle people is reduced and there is even less money to spend on promoting crap. | | | Just as weblogs have proven the power of decentralized, personally controlled publishing this model extends to the entire realm of digital identities which may only be successful if they are similarly decentralized and user controlled. | | | The sight of sweating hoards of black-clad PR flaks pounding up Mt. Tam in Manolo Blahniks would almost be worth it. |

| | Michael Servetus |
| | In the realm of theology Servetus combined a rational mind with a deep mysticism devoted to the person of Jesus Christ and a return to the original messianism of pre-Nicaean Christianity. | | | Servetus' humanism in the realm of medical studies was expressed in the acceptance of Galenism, but his version of Galenism was subordinate to the method of observation and not to the dogmatic following of immutable knowledge received from antiquity. | | | The biographer of John Calvin, E. Stähelin, wrote: "[Servetus] was in intellectual endowments undoubtedly the peer of the greatest men of his century, Calvin included." Friedrich Trechsel, nineteenth century church historian, wrote: "Servetus personified the antitrinitarian spirit, and worked it out into a comprehensive system, giving it its first speculative and systematic form. |

| | The book fits well into the realm of the science of surprise -- that is, the science of unintended consequences. | | | Thus, the peer personalities (each different for the four generations in an era) are formed by each generation's reaction to the major happenings about them and the outcome of these happenings (success, victory, or the opposite) depends upon the constellation of the peer personalities of those who face the challenges of the period. | | | Each of these generations has had a mirror generation (in the same chronological order) in each of the four eras of America's existence as a people. |

| | Exploratory engineering - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | A boundary which would take exploratory engineering out of the realm of mere speculation and define it as a realistic design activity is often indiscernible to such critics, and at the same time is often inexpressible by the proponents of exploratory engineering. | | | Due to the difficulty and necessity of anticipating results in such areas as genetic modification, climate change, molecular engineering, and megascale engineering, parallel fields such as bioethics, climate engineering and hypothetical molecular nanotechnology sometimes emerge to develop and examine hypotheses, define limits, and express potential solutions to the anticipated technological problems. | | | Engineering is concerned with the design of a solution to a practical problem. |
