    It's not really their fault they are tied to regulating something that is blatantly immoral.

    They know people should be able to look around heck people even have the constitutional right to spread information but then they are trying to draw lines to prevent it.

    That's because all the policy people haven't gotten their thumbs out about developing a system to keep intellectual development moving and if they don't they worry that some of the emerging economies with diffrent political systems will triumph.

    What do you do when injustice has been working well for a long time, other countries don't have a problem not being fair if it helps everyone the most, we're just totally blind on this issue thinking that the government is in some way responsible to be fair.

    We're even more stupid if we expect them to be fair when the alternative is better for everyone. Perhaps we are engaged in a self defeating political movement here (similar to the russian communist revlolution perhaps?). Maybe we should have a pretty strong Idea of what we are going to do to create idea's after the fall of publishing.

    My bet is something like this

  4. Niggling thought on Earthlink Releases SIP Based P2P File-Sharing App · · Score: 1

    That should read "release proof of concept that wont work for 90% of users". It's a tech demo. It's not like there's some shortage of p2p apps anyway.

    After reading the article I got the impression there was some kind of voice over ip connection protocol being established in a p2p format (connect to p2p network share id and allow p2p network to share your ip for incomming callers to connect to) but the guy above seems to think it's straight p2p as do most of the commentors.

    CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL US WHAT THE FOOKING ARTICLE IS ABOUT! THE LINK DOES NOT HELP! Thank you.

  11. VOIP on VoiceXML Platform Certification Program Launched · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Don't suppose this is leading to standards in other voice technologies?

    Why does voice recognition need standards anyway? It might be nice to have portable devices be able to easily pass it off to a central computer for the really intensive stuff but that doesn't really seem like something they need to collaborate on.

    Outside program sends frequencies most useful for voice recognition, home base analyses all frequencies problem solved.

  12. Re:Whoa. Wait a minute. on Wind Power Falls Under $0.01/kwh · · Score: 1

    My mother was involved in a windmill project (downtown toronto you can see pictures)...

    She was forced to address all those concerns and eventually discovered that most of them were so ridiculous that they weren't really worth addressing when the windmill went up all the concerns were squashed.

    I strongly suspect your father might be a bird enthusiast and since I don't know about the migratory parterns of birds I can't address that area of his concerns. But I strongly suspect the rest of those arguements were brought up solely to bolster his (unpopular, especially with wacky city folk) bird argument.

    I don't believe we've had any bird deaths the windmill is noiseless even when you stand directly below it on a windy day, and it actually adds a tinge of interest to a skyline because it's moving, (400 feet up the wind conditions are considerably diffrent, make sure he's using correct wind figures to question this aspect of construction).

    I really don't think it's that important of an issue, but hearing (what I believe is addressed misinformation) rehashed rubs me the wrong way.

    Ah but is an RSS reader the web? Is a blog tracker the web?(If you answered yes how about is IRC part of the web?)

    The answer should be no and as you point out these technologies are new (hence you think I might not have heard of them) which is what the article is saying, basically that technologies like these are making the web interface useless.

  18. Re:Re-architecture on Intel Predicts Death Of WWW · · Score: 1

    If they hit with WiMAX before 802.11i hits they might be right.

    But they are right, the web isn't nearly responsive enough to the usage paterns of it's users. It doesn't provide information that you don't query for directly, people are already using summarising software and blog tracking software and websites that sort prices.

    All of these will eventually be seamlessly integrated into the internet, I know we are terrified but there will be a massive unification of services of the internet VERY VERY SOON which is what the bubble of the 90's was all about they thought they could do it then but shoddy software and overbearing marketing lead to other startup's in the same areas which destroyed the unification (ICQ, MSN, AOL, Yahoo, etc anyone?)... The funny thing is that Microsoft is nowhere near mature enough as a company to say, at 1 cent a hit for 1000 years we'll make billions so they are too short sighted to really get it.

    lose to computer you win.

    In FPS' Anyone who's been to a lan cafe has seen screen watching but it's little brother talking on the phone or using a voice comm program to communicate with teamates (while alive and dead).

    The worst part about cheats like these is that the cheater doesn't think they are cheating, if you ask they won't know what you are talking about.

    It's fine in matches where both teams are doing it but in public servers it's definitly cheating, in some games like quake or CS(With death cams it's kind of a problem it's not always obvious but in games that rely heavily on knowledge such as raven shield knowing where your teamate was shot from after he dies can be decisive.

    Please people if you have access to information your opponents cannot possibly have access to consider what you are doing to the game.

    I like things like death cams and teamwork but I'd have to take steps against this kind of thing if I was running a server, though usually the people running servers are the worst offenders, Ventrillo anyone?
