WASTE:''For other uses of the word, see Waste (disambiguation).'' ---- WASTE is a peer-to-peer and friend-to-friend protocol and piece of software developed by Justin Frankel at Nullsoft in 2003. WASTE is an acronym for "We Await Silent Tristero's Empire", a reference to Thomas Pynchon's novel ''The Crying of Lot 49'' in which W.A.S.T.E. was a underground postal service. It was subsequently removed from distribution by AOL, Nullsoft's parent company. The original page was replaced with a warning and revocation of the GPL (which is not possible under the terms of the GPL license). It is currently being further developed as a SourceForge project. WASTE behaves similarly to a virtual private network by connecting to a group of trusted computers, as determined by the users. It employs heavy encryption to ensure that third parties cannot decipher the messages being transferred. The same encryption is used to transmit and receive instant messages, chat, and files, maintain the connection, and browse and search. There is also an optional "Saturate" feature which adds random traffic, making traffic analysis more difficult. The nodes (each a trusted connection) automatically determine the lowest latency route for traffic and, in doing so, load balance. This also improves privacy, because packets often take different routes. A "WASTE ring" can be formed by individuals sharing their RSA public keys and connecting to the ring (private and public keys are generated by WASTE from the random seeds of mouse movement). Once someone can see one person in the ring, that person can see everyone' virtual ID (nicknames and public key hashes) in the ring as long as the default setting for public keys to be shared among trusted hosts remains true. The suggested size for a WASTE ring is 10-50 node (networking)s. WASTE listens to incoming connections on port Leet (by default). You can now specify another listening port by adding a line like "port=2345" in the "Default.pr0" config file. When adding a new connection, the syntax IP:port specifies a friend who listens to a non-default port (e.g. 192.168.10.100:2345). A cross-platform (including Linux, MacOS, Posix and Windows) beta version of WASTE using the latest WxWidgets is now downloadable from SourceForge (see external links below). VIA Technologies released a fork_(software) of WASTE under the name PadlockSL, but removed the webpage for PadlockSL after a few weeks. The GUI is written in QT and the Client is available for Linux and Windows. ==Strengths== *Secured through the trade of RSA public keys, allowing for safe and secure transfers with trusted hosts ==Shortcomings== *No forwarding cache: when a user forwards a file between 2 friends, he doesn't keep a copy of this file in a cache. So the next time someone asks for this file, he has to download it again. This can lead to big scability problems when users communicate through long chains of in-between nodes. *The cross-platform beta version (based on wxWidgets) has many bugs and is barely usable (see SourceForge bug list below) ==See also== * Anonymous P2P * Friend-to-friend networks or F2F ==External links== *[http://www.nullsoft.com/free/waste/ Original WASTE site] (now a dire sounding warning to not use WASTE) *[http://waste.sourceforge.net/ Official WASTE site] *[http://waste.sourceforge.net/index.php?id=downloads Official WASTE site (download)] *[http://waste.sourceforge.net/index.php?id=information Official WASTE site (security and network information)] *[https://sourceforge.net/projects/waste/ SourceForge project page] *[https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=82356&atid=565809 SourceForge bugs list] *[http://www.infoanarchy.org/wiki/index.php/WASTE WASTE on Infoanarchy.org Wiki] *[http://projects.sqrville.org/staticpages/index.php?page=padlocksl-linux-howt VIA PadLockSL Linux HOWTO] *How was removed the webpage for PadlockSL after a few weeks: [http://slashdot.org/articles/04/04/16/1215204.shtml Slashdot article] File sharing networks Windows instant messengers Mac OS instant messengers Linux instant messengers Free Windows software Free Mac OS software Free Linux software WASTEShouldn't this page be at WASTE?

User:Whkoh ⇒ User:Whkoh [User talk:Whkoh] Waste:''For other uses of the word, see Waste (disambiguation).'' [[Image:Vuilnis.JPG|thumb|175px|Waste inside a trash can]] Waste is unwanted or undesired material left over after the completion of a process. "Waste" is a human concept: in natural processes there is no waste, only inert end products. Waste can exist in any phase of matter (solid, liquid, or gas). When released in the latter two states, gas especially, the wastes are referred to as emissions. It is usually strongly linked with pollution. == Sources of waste == [[Image:Eea-waste-by-sector-1992-1997.png|thumb|250px|Sources of waste for European Environment Agency countries, 1992-1997.]] Waste produced in the wild is reintegrated through natural recycling processes, such as dry leaves in a forest decomposing into soil. Outside of the wild these wastes may become problematic, such as dry leaves in an urban environment. The highest volume of waste, outside of nature, comes from human industrial activity: mining, industrial manufacture, consumer use, and so on#References. Almost all manufactured products are destined to become waste at some point in time, with a volume of waste production roughly similar to the volume of resource consumption. Post-consumer waste is the waste produced by the end-user (the garbage one puts outside in the trash can). This is the waste people usually think of. But though the most visible, this is very small compared to the waste created in the process of mining and production. == Human waste == [[Image:Waste.jpg|thumb|180px|landfill]] Human waste is a term in the English language usually used to refer to byproducts of digestion, such as feces and urine. Human waste can be a serious health hazard, as it is a good vector (biology) for both viral and bacterial diseases. A major accomplishment of human civilization has been the reduction of disease transmission via human waste through the practice of hygiene and sanitation, including the development of theories of sewage systems and plumbing. Human waste can be reduced and reused through use of greywater, waterless urinals and humanure systems. In very rural places without sewage systems, small populations allow for the continued use of honey buckets and sewage lagoons without the threat of disease presented by places with more dense populations. == See also == * Nuclear waste * Incineration == External links == * [http://airspace.bc.ca/Airspace Action on Smoking and Health] * [http://www.cigarettelitter.org/ CigaretteLitter.Org - The Facts About Cigarette Butts and Litter - Cigarette Litter] == References == This page contains material imported from [http://develop.consumerium.org/] please see the [http://develop.consumerium.org/wiki/index.php?title=Waste&action=history history] of the [http://develop.consumerium.org/wiki/index.php/Waste original article].

I would have thought that thermal effects alone were enough for this, without waste matter being needed. Think solar energy in at 9000 K or so, and being radiated back out again at 300 K or so. Plenty of entropy flux for life to work with. -- User:The Anome 23:14, Nov 8, 2004 (UTC) :this following fails completely to make it's point; if both apples are in the same shop, then the method of aquiring is irrelevant (unless home grown apples are so appetising that you buy more and have to take the car rather than the bicycle :-) User:Azikala 01:01, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC) ==Sustainability== sustainability use requires a system view of environment issues. Let's suppose a consumer has a choice between apples coming from his own country, and those imported by ship. Which apple would consume the most energy to acquire? It depends on the consumer: if he goes by bicycle to the shop, the homegrown apple requires less energy. However, if he goes to buy the apple by car, it might be that the energy requirement of the car from home to the shop is higher than the energy required to import the apple to the shop, not even counting Carbon dioxide emissions--see also The Natural Step. ==Need for rewrite== This page currently doesn't flow well and isn't well structured. Fundamentally it isn't like an encyclopaedia article, more like a discussion or educational tract. It needs to be very much rewritten and structured clearly into related segments. For example, the section Solid wastes and emission wastes actually discusses methodology of measuring hazardous waste, and doesn't describe what "Solid wastes and emission wastes" are. This page critically needs a more or less complete rewrite, but at the same time, large amounts of the ideas and even material should be conserved and probably moved to places where it could be more valuable. More examples of unencyclopaedic material * "only uneducated anti-industrial fanatics can use such a meaningless category" User:Azikala 01:01, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC) :Good that you have taken this on. I agree with your comments. I would like to add that there is need for a section that addresses sustainability. Waste treatment in the industrial model is hugely expensive and, well, *wasteful* (of energy). There are alternatives--some very ancient, some new. An alternative view is ''waste as resource''. Technologies such as composting toilets and solar aquatics [http://www.cmhc-schl.gc.ca/en/imquaf/himu/buin_031.cfm] (aka The Living Machine) for wastewater treatment, that use natural systems to process waste might be looked at as a first wave of the new technologies. Scaleable natural systems such as Biolytix [http://www.biolytix.com/index_html] take alternative wastewater treatment to a new level. User:Sunray 17:51, 2005 Jan 5 (UTC) :I've done some work on this, but there needs to be more done. Also, it seems like alot of this belongs more on pages about environmentalism or pollution. User:68.39.174.205 02:25, 21 Jan 2005 (UTC) :OK, I removed like ½ the article because I just can't see how to encorporate it into this article without encroaching on pollution, now it seems to be just basics and if someone wants to slowly add it back then OK good. I think it's in a better state then before. User:68.39.174.205 00:23, 9 Feb 2005 (UTC) ::No doubt there is much chaff in the stuff you took out. There are also kernals that need to be edited, re-packaged and added in a different format. I will do some work on that. User:Sunray 06:02, 2005 Feb 9 (UTC) * "Waste is unwanted or undesired material left over after the completion of a process. "Waste" is a human concept: in natural processes there is no waste, only inert end products." So I suppose cats bury their faeces out of an aversion to the inert? :3 :Would a cat in a forest bury its feces?
