  1. Re:You mis-read the contract and are crying foul? on Amazon App Store 'Rotten To the Core,' Says Dev · · Score: 2

    You are completely ignoring the fact that they agreed to the amendment.

    Amazon at some point was offering 20%
    Amazon then wrote to them and said "what about 0%"
    They said, no, what about 20%?
    Amazon said, no, it's 0%
    THEY AGREED.

    End of story.

    No..seems pretty clear. Amazon offered 0%. They accepted and got 0%. 0% of $0 is....well, $0.

    Moral of the story - read the contract?

    "In the US, the bulk of net use (in pure data) is business related"

    Got any stats to back this up? I would have guessed that YouTube/NetFlix/piracy/porn..etc would be orders of magnitude greater than pure business traffic. Unless you mean YouTube is a business and therefore business related?

    Don't let facts get in the way of a good story.

  7. Re:They are likely grateful... on Single Software Licence Shared 774,651 Times · · Score: 1

    They are likely grateful that people are using their software rather than the superior (and free) Microsoft Security Essentials. (Yes, MS makes a piece of software that is superior in virtually every way to its competition. Hard to believe, but it's true.)

    http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/

    Security Essentials isn't "free" for businesses with more than 10 PC's. The original owner of the Avast licence had 14 PC's so wouldn't qualify for Security Essentials.

  8. Kernel shared memory on Extreme Memory Oversubscription For VMs · · Score: 5, Informative

    The Linux kernel uses something called kernel shared memory (KSM) to achieve this with it's virtualization technology. LWN has a great article on it:

  10. More Uni money = more investment in research? on Universities Patenting More Student Ideas · · Score: 1

    Aside from the obvious point-of-view that this is almost theft, doesn't this mean the University can afford to invest in more research and therefore invent more cool technologies?

  11. Re:harder on designers on MIT Focuses on Chip Optimization · · Score: 1

    At what point does the cost of refinement and R&D this process demands outweigh the benefits of increased yield?

    No YOU RTFA. You are ONLY being routed to the local 911 operator based on your address. You are NOT having your address presented to the operator. There is a VERY big difference.

  13. Re:So what? There is still a Linux flavoured produ on Linksys WRT54G drops Linux · · Score: 2, Informative

    They AREN'T dropping support for Linux. They are releasing a separate model with Linux support and making the mainstream one a cheaper design. The product I linked to is a Wireless router that can, with the addition of the USB port, act as a NAS unit.

  14. So what? There is still a Linux flavoured product. on Linksys WRT54G drops Linux · · Score: 4, Informative

    Great article research. Linksys will/have released a Linux version and labled the packaging "Open Source". Here's the FCC information on the Linux device.

    IANAL. Does a foreign VoIP company have to answer to the different national telecom regulations anyway? Given no bricks-and-morter presence in country A and being based in foreign country B why should they have to answer to in country A?

    Great point sherlock. Do you suggest they leave these labs totally detached from the LAN all the time? It goes back to the original question which you have failed to answer - how do you lock out a particular room/location if all computers have access to the same AP/wireless setup? Hint: the answer isn't ban computers or kill the electricity.
