Winny

Winny (also known as WinNY) is a Japanese peer-to-peer (P2P) file-sharing program which claims to be loosely inspired by the design principles behind the Freenet network, which makes user identities untraceable. While Freenet was implemented in Java, Winny was implemented as a Windows C++ application.

The software takes its name from WinMX, where the M and the X are each advanced one letter in the Latin alphabet, to N and Y. According to a 2006 report by the Recording Industry Association of Japan, more than three million people had tried Winny.

Like Freenet, each client functions as a node. Initially, a search returns few results, but one can set up "clusters" based on certain keywords, and over time, one's client will learn the best route to obtain the information sought.

The software was developed by Isamu Kaneko, who was a research assistant in graduate course of computer engineering at the University of Tokyo in Japan. He was also once a researcher at the Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute. Kaneko originally anonymously announced his intent of developing the software on the Download Software board of the popular 2channel (2ch for short) Japanese bulletin board site. Since 2ch users often refer to anonymous users by their post numbers, Kaneko came to be known as "Mr. 47" ("47-Shi", or 47氏 in Japanese), or just "47". Kaneko died on the 6 July 2013 after suffering a heart attack.

Winnie (name)

Winnie or Winny (\wi(n)-ny\) is a male and female given name of Welsh origin, a variant of Edwina, Winifred or Winnifred, Gwendolyn, Guinevere (Welsh), Gwyneth (Welsh), and Wynne (Welsh). The name's meaning is fair one; white and smooth; soft; happiness; or fair and pure. The popularity of the name Winnie steadily declined among American women in the 20th century, but in the 1990 US Census, still ranked 699th of 4276.

It is also a male name from Cambodia (meaning bright), or a short form of Winston, the best known example being Winston Churchill. It can derive from many other names ending in -win such as Edwin, Darwin, etc. or simply be a nickname for the Welsh name Wyn meaning "Fair, white; blessed, holy".

    Hey There Fancy Pants

    by: Ween

    Hey, there fancy pants
    Play the songs that make us dance
    Play the tunes that make the ladies swoon
    A song for all the lonely hearts
    Shattered dreams and broken parts
    Feels like sunny days are coming soon
    Hey Mr. Buttercup
    Spin the wheel and try your luck
    The spotlight's shining bright tonight on you
    Bring along your lady friend
    Do a dance from way back when
    Tonight's the night when all your dreams come true
    Hey there sour grapes
    Down in the dumps, long in the face
    Drinkin' down your dinner, all alone
    Feelin' bad, feelin' blue
    Tonight the rainbow ends with you
    So sit on down and make yourself at home, so
    Hey there fancy pants
    Play the songs that make us dance
    Play the tunes that make the ladies swoon
    A song for all the lonely hearts
    Shattered dreams and broken parts
    Feels like sunny days are coming soon
    Fancy pants
    Fancy pants
    Fancy pants
