clay shirky once again proves why he is a very smart guy by trying to school some sun engineers on the mistakes being made by the jxta project. (why should we be hopeful about jxta? because it has decentralized authentication at its core. microsoft's hailstorm has exactly the opposite. but there's no way sun is going to save us from microsoft. it will take someone like yahoo, aol, or amazon. my bet is that we lose, though.)
