Imagine all the NSA, protecting Personal Computers Toodaaayyyy.... oh oh oh...

Second Joke: Remember Independance Day , the film where Aliens blow up the white house? And are stopped by a basic computer virus? They're frikken OSS utopianists! With laser beams!
Of course when we block and how much is hard, I'm sure the scientists will find a want to put a semi-pourous screen in solar-syncronous orbit.
Although the rising levels of acidity and CO2 in oceans is benefiting CO2->O2 and acidity absorbing bacteria and algae, so we might want to block out the sun over land in specific places. The Sahara, or Australian outback seem like good ideas (CHEAP arable land! WOO!) Australia has the advantage of being close to the worlds population center, so an extra breadbasket would be fantastic.
Of course the world's energy problems (mirrored solar, is gooood), food problems (recycling, and composting, more arable land... we really did urbanize the best farm land), and transportation problems will be improved as we like each other more and urbanize more densely and closer together (what is with the pressure differentials in condominiums, why is no one ever blasting rock music on their balcony [guess I'm young], and the dry air from the air vent!). Two of these seem to be happening a bit. It's hard to imagine a world where all three have happened so much that we want to scale them back, and I suppose that makes them good things.
Did this for a long time, then almost got hit by an ambulance with siren on.
Sadly people who walk and read are generally intelligent and busy (looking for extra information, instead of overwhelmed by it at least) and to loose a few during their learning period probably isn't great for society as a whole. Considering how few people do this it's amazing that they're even talking about it.
It is a scary notion that this is replicating.
Actually I used to run everywhere until I was about 8, enjoyed the exercise + hey more videogames! I only stopped because of social pressure, which is sad. Running gives people more time in their lives rather than spending less time at the Gym:) If you start young, you don't get stinky.
Exec Sum: Wifi VOIP provider wants more wifi discussion, offers prize to OSS OS devs Android
General Interest: 802.11i and 802.11s? Sliced Bread? Too power intensive? Conspiracy theories?
Technocrats: We want x frequencies and why, what comes after i/s, why switching is bad compared to standard cell, why power consumption is bad compared to standard cell, why we don't get two radios/frequency changing radios etc. Who knows, (I love slashdot).
Legal Beagles/ idealists who avoided this discussion because wifi is passe/insecure: Sharing Wifi, why not? QOS emergency servies, email, voip?Hilarious anecdotes about public resource abuse from the right (that guy in the library!)
CONTEST!!!! WTB new OSS OS for Chinese model phone, send me a message for Quality of Phone Standard(6 Inch Dual Core) VS Ultra Hotness (Oooo baby!)... then compile OS with 1-2 features I'd like to see (security/rom flexibility + volume button song change [Just LOVE that feature])... plus a look at what's cooking in the scene get $$$.... well $$ +.5$.
Cheers Slashdot, these are the glory days of Wifi when everyone thinks it's solved and the real solution can happen!

Or just use Freephoneline. The point is to break the monopolies. I do review Chinese phones and can offer an excellent deal on great hardware if you purchase through me.
And yes it will work forever with no bill, been using it for about 11 years now.
To centralize things like push update APIs. So they're less resource intensive. Security, should be the best available. And a streaming interface, for high bandwidth apps. All of which needs to be done before it gets released to the open source community. Since it's all audio it could use very little bandwidth, less than 24kbps. I think it's a bad idea and I'd never use one, for trust issues, but google seems to be pretty good at OS design (Android, not chrome) and as a VOIP hardware provider ForeverPhone (only in Canada, sorry) I love being able to provide Android phones with custom Roms.
Sound recorder closes, and doesn't save the file quite often. Making it incredibly unreliable. I used to use Vrecorder, but the new version doesn't work well and it doesn't encrypt the files properly.
Maybe the agreement should be 70% (seems low anyway, BT is free!) for the Author and Publisher and 30% for Amazon (so when it's inevitably decided publishers aren't vital in Ebooks we don't have to go through this again!).
And it was soul destroying. Why not just use bots instead of employees? You're serving corporations whose three ring binder mentality is essentially robotlike? But the thing is... robots don't really care! So you could just save yourself a lot of bother by not doing any of it!
I have a feeling we should revert to one of the original standards, in the spirit of Bitcoin (it pays to be first).
Therefore the options are ICQ, or a MIRC variant. Jabber is obviously a good modern choice if ICQ isn't used. Why ICQ? Because it let's you send messages when the user is offline and they receive them when the user comes online.
P2P would be a viable alternative too!
Just got deported from Panama for challenging their gender politics during an election, fortunately I didn't challenge any of their other fundamental failings. They were very upset the men I riled up killed several women which I knew nothing about. I was there to meet a non-vocal indigenous tribe, very un prime directive but entirely my fault.
Anyway something that felt a lot like the hand of government came down and scooped me up and put me custody.
I can take questions at deliverancelev 4 2 hotmail dot com. And will be writing a book on it over the next few days if you'd like to hear about it.
Check out information regarding Bocas Del Torro and Changinola revolution over the last 5 days. My revolution wouldn't have been violent but I was too locked up to help.
Have you tried Nimbuzz, it's European. It supported, ICQ, MSN, Skype, Facebook, GTALK(Jabber), IRC, (Love to see SIP support) and offered outgoing calls. It was pretty amazing, then the other players attacked it.
Still good, works Windows, Linux, and is available for Android (probably iPhone). Hope it works out for everyone.
"I have gotten incredibly sick of the tin foil hat brigade putting the NSA into every one of their conspiracy theories"
Like spying on foreign governments? Germany doesn't even have an army!
The article came out today and it's passe?
People are pissed because they realize that if there are no terrorist attacks, the budget will go up and surveillance will get worse and if there are the same thing will happen. They're absolutely pissed that these guys are selling anti-tiger rocks in South America, with their tax money which makes them complicit and then going out and pissing off the rest of the world.
We're nowhere near a solution. So it's relevant and good to talk about and important, and you're boring.

Legal, this wouldn't be so ugly.
Do these guys remember that Mitnick got 50 life sentences with no outside contact?
Wonderful!

And Their banks = Business interests?
Isn't this similar to what happened to Lenovo a while ago?

.5$.

Guess we could have resurrected those cute fuzzy (green?) lizzards!
Course we'll have a list of entrants! And that is probably a good thing!
Where do people who would do this come from? Is it child abuse?

Is there an app that starts up properly with the phone, that's open source. Video calling and Open Source, popular encryption modules preferred.
Sound recorder closes, and doesn't save the file quite often. Making it incredibly unreliable. I used to use Vrecorder, but the new version doesn't work well and it doesn't encrypt the files properly.
Open source better of course,
New apps are broken. One with auto encrypt would be better though. Anyone got one that records to ogg or mp3 and has ecryption?

Get Freephoneline. Pick up a sim with Data.

No you trust that things will continue as they are ^x. Since they have for a long time.
You're at a computer! And if you're on Slashdot probably more than 8 hours a day!
I just checked Tiger Direct, no way to pay with BTC that I can see. Link?
I think bitcoin will succeed like email!

Put a tree up there! And a webcam! I will totally use it as my background!
I bet the Ouya is doing very well in Japan.
Home of development, keen on lots of games, and several of it's launch titles have an anime styling.

It's sadly not open source ATMM.
