    Because it's been done.

  2. Uhh on Caching Torrent files in DNS · · Score: 0, Troll

    This is a proof of concept version of BitTorrent where the torrent files are transported over DNS. This will of course bog down BIND servers all over the planet. Everyone should be thankful that the files are not send over DNS.
    So why is it being posted on Slashdot if it's such a bad idea? Won't posting it on a major news site just further it's progession?

  3. If it's actually on the motherboard on Intel Putting Wi-Fi into Future Chipsets · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Will it not need some kind of cooling to prevent it overheating?

  4. Re:Video on Web 'Rules' Changing? · · Score: 1, Funny

    I wonder if streaming video embeded in web pages will ever become common place or even feasible? As networking technology improves websites get flashier and flashier....
    Yes, but at what frequency, K3nn3th?

    Never you mind - the Government has come up with New Rules for us to follow
    It clearly states on the website that they're guidelines, not rules.

    I'm worried that I didn't know about any rules, and that there are any in the first place.

  11. Re:The problem I have with trains on First UK On-Train WiFi Service Launches Monday · · Score: 1

    I've been riding the trains in the UK for the past 6 months ish and I don't understand what people's problem with them is.
    Wow. You must be incredibly lucky. I've been making a 200ish mile commute for the past 5 years or so once every 2 weeks, and every year it just gets worse. The predicted journey time used to be about 1 hour 30 minutes with no changes, and I never used to be more than 10 minutes late. Now the predicted journey time is 2 hours 30 minutes and I'm rarely less than 30 minutes late, the past 3 times I've had a delay over 2 hours. Have you tried trains in the rest of Europe? Pretty much every country's train service in Europe is better than England's.

  12. The problem I have with trains on First UK On-Train WiFi Service Launches Monday · · Score: 3, Offtopic

    in the UK is not the lack of wifi, it's that I never arrive at my destination on time, as there's always delays for some reason. Don't try to run before you can walk, eh.

  13. But... on Embedded Device Manufacturers Ignoring GPL · · Score: -1, Troll

    Maybe they've all bought licenses from SCO and therefore don't have to comply with the GPL?
    They wouldn't need to, as it's $699 for one processor, and DVD don't have processors as such.

  17. Why do people say on PC Magazine Reviews Sharp's 3D Notebook · · Score: 5, Funny
