  1. Re:domestic increases...... on P2P Traffic Drops 10% After New NZ Law · · Score: 1

    Yes.
    Back when Portugal had ridiculous data limits on international traffic, there was a version of eMule that filtered the traffic. There was even a option to allow a certain amount of international traffic and then stop allowing international transfers. It was tailor made for portuguese people tho. I'm sure in NZ there's a ipfilter.dat for utorrent that only allows inside traffic.

  6. Re:Google+, the social network you cannot join! on Google To Rebrand Blogger & Picasa For Google+ Integration · · Score: 1

    No they didn't. I just invited someone 3 hours ago.

    What they did, and has been done since they "enabled" invites was to throttle the amount of people that can join. So only a certain amount of people can join in a certain amount of time. So if they say it's "full" then you just have to try later.

    Also the e-mails aren't instant anymore. So I would believe if you get an e-mail you would get a guaranteed invite. But I wouldn't count on that.

  14. Re:USA #1 on AT&T Cracking Down On Unofficial iPhone Tethering · · Score: 1

    This happens to me as well, I host a FTP server in the US, if any of my Portuguese friends want to download anything at max speed (25Mbps) they have to use a download manager that allows them to use separate connections to download separate parts of the same file. Either that or I split the files with winrar and they download 10 files simultaneously. Note that it's not multiple peers like bittorrent, but multiple connections to the same IP. I believe there is an artificial cap in a router somewhere in the middle, but it's easily bypassed.

    The individual connection cap seems to be around 4Mbps.

  15. Re:Human touch is seen as empathetic on How Do People Respond To Being Touched By a Robot? · · Score: 1

    So, you're telling me that no one person in the world will be able to have emotional attachment to something artificially created no matter how good it is?

    We read books and watch movies, what happens in there is emulated by words and body language. None of it is real, that why it's called fiction and acting. But people still have emotional attachments to what happens to the characters in the story, even though they know well that it's not "real".

    Most robots "creep" people out due the uncanny valley effect. If a robot acts too mechanically, your brain is being constantly reminded that it is not a real person even though it looks like one. The easiest solution is to make robots to not look like humans. If it looks like a big-ass toy instead of a doll there's no conflict, and you will be able to attach to it emotionally as you can with dogs/cats/other animals.

    If you go over at sankaku complex (NSFW site) they once in a while post survey results (mostly from 2chan) and the majority of it shows that most japanese girls despise otaku (nerds).

    If anything he''s a ninja. If Hollywood movies and weekend morning cartoons have taught us anything, it's that a trained ninja's ability is inversely proportional to the amount of the adversaries he is facing. Don't believe me? When a ninja is facing a thousand samurai, a single punch can thrust them meters away, and he will defeat them swiftly and without fail. When a ninja is facing a single samurai, it will be a duel that will be sung for centuries and. So if he hired a army of ninjas, all that Oracle would need to do is hire a single one to counter them.

  23. Re:kinda scary on Google Has Android Remote App Install Power, Too · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Not to mention, google already announced you will be using this feature before. If you haven't seen this years google I/O then I'll tell you: you will be able to install apps on your phone from any device in the cloud.

    And besides, it's not like google is targeting you specificaly, they target all phones with that app installed. The purpose of it is to remove a malicious app before it can do any more damage.

    Example: I make an app branded as a porn site viewer, it works as one but it also sends information gathered from your sdcard/phone for some nefarious deeds. Removing it from the market would stop the app from spreading, but it has already been installed on thousands of phones, setting a flag on the market for "uninstall from phone NOW" would fix this.

    I know google could be more gentle about it and warn the user and ask for the app to be removed, but it's not like they use it on every app that pisses them, only on those that disregard their stated rules. So far google has been following the rules, so articles like this are just spreading FUD.
