Platform-Independent Real-Time Speech Technology
Odin's Raven writes "Opera Software's R-and-D department today announced the discovery of a new technology dubbed 'Opera SoundWave' - a platform-independent speech solution for short- and medium-range interpersonal communication. Based on open standards, Opera's patent-pending P2P speech technology uses analogue signals carried through open air, enabling users to communicate in real- time without the use of computers or mobile phones. Details (including link to tech preview) are available in their press release. I wonder how long it will be before a FOSS implementation of this technology emerges?"
No, really?

It's not a joke. Jokes are supposed to be funny.
No, it would still be VOIP - assuming of course that you actually used the IP in your Sneakernet transactions. Sneakernet merely provides the physical and datalink layers.
You can shout at the waves but they're not turning back. Give up for another twelve hours and come back tomorrow.
At least this year they're linking to other people's jokes. A few years ago they did the deliberate dup gag and tell me THAT didn't get old fast.
