Japanese Researchers Aim to Replace the Internet
Gary writes "Japanese communications minister Yoshihide Suga said Friday that Japan will start research and development on technology for a new generation of network that would replace the Internet, eyeing bringing the technology into commercial use in 2020. The envisaged network is expected to ensure faster and more reliable data transmission, and have more resilience against computer virus attacks and breakdowns."
Forget the cybernectic tentacles. Give it boobs, and nations will fall.

Actually, Japanese and indeed many other eastern civilizations had many of the economics problems of today solved. Some of these problems are so pervasive that people in the west just take for granted that they are fundamental limitations of humankind. Thanks to the west and its fundamentally broken social model upon which its economic and financial systems are based, ancient, long ago solved problems are rearing their ugly heads again.
Perhaps Japan has realized the folly in copying the West and its dizzyingly high but historically fleeting civilizational success and are attempting to reverse the cultural damage done to their society over the last half century or so. Oh wait, we're talking about internet stuff... right, right. Sorry I got a bit carried away there.
I hate printers.
Ubuntu 7.04 x86 32-bit + Linksys Wireless N PCI adapter + ndiswrapper + wpasupplicant + WPA2 + static IP address = failure. I'm switching to a real distro like Fedora Core 6. Users on the ndiswrapper supported wireless cards list have reported success with FC and OpenSUSE. I tried to love you Ubuntu. I really did. But I'm afraid you sacrificed quality in the name of pursuing faggoty Windows users.
Are we a little like kids playing in a mud puddle...
... all the best,... and, when it rains, may we realize the value of clear, clean water,... even if our tears are salty,... and the embarrassment hurts somewhere "new" ...
,... or the illusion of an illusion
We know we're having great fun,... but we really have no idea how dirty we're getting and what a mess we're making,... but that won't stop us.
