With the development / growth of the wireless LAN cards, it's inevitable that larger and larger networks are based on wireless transmissions.
Today's HAM network is only a lang-distance beginning.
Tomorrow's Internet may well be based on a tight network of millions of computers interconnected anf propagating each other's paquets by way of their network cards.
That will be the end of concentrated networks, and the birth of a really free Internet.

Major labels are sopmewhat clueless: they try once again to prevent people from listening to their released music the way they want.
Besides, let's hope it will make more young musicians to distribute their artwork by themselves, with the MP3 format.
Anyway, just because it's challenging, we can bet that a complete rip-and-encode-to-mp3 solution will be released by next week by many different hackers.
Didn't buy a Rio for nothing, dude. I want to listen to my CDs with a non-moving parts portable convenient device.

Ok, so the american film makers can go overseas and mollest individuals, in fact.
Why ? To protect their milk cow. They would just feel more comfortable if everyone was dumb enough to be forced to use windoze boxen just to watch their insipid movies.
Needless to say, I'm not about to buy a DVD player before verrry long in that circumstances. I never give in the game of people I don't respect.
So, if they don't want unix users to play their videos, the solution is to simply boycott them. Just don't even buy a DVD player. They don't need money for so few people after all, do they ? -- User typed in a command - must be jailed for curiosity crime.

If we can anyway tell when there is signal/no signal, that means we can also try to set up a rough binary information transfer...
And maybe, if that signal was really from the PL, we can get some information from it.
