  3. They're not even keeping the money... on Pirate Bay Announces Sale to Swedish Company For $7.8 Million · · Score: 5, Informative

    On The Pirate Bay blog the TPB crew gives their side of the story.

    Idealism is not dead: The profits from the sale will go into a foundation that is going to help with projects about freedom of speech, freedom of information and the openess of the nets. I hope everybody will help out in that and realize that this is the best option for all. Don't worry - be happy!

  12. Re:Regarding the Kernel Used on Linux HW and SW RAID Benchmarked · · Score: 1

    [QUOTE]
    Testen ble kjørt på Ubuntu Warty. Etter at testen ble påbegynt har Hoary kommet. Versjonen skal ikke ha noen innvirkning på resultatene. Både LSI- og Adaptec-kontrollerene ble kjørt med siste versjon av driverne. For å se på RAID-egenskapene i kontrollerne vi har testet, så har vi også kjørt alle kontrollere med kjernens eget software-RAID.

    Kjernen benyttet under testingen var 2.6.8.1-5-amd64-k8-smp. Det ble brukt x86_64-versjonen av Warty.

    Translation:
    The test was ran on Ubuntu Warty. After the test-project was started Horay was released. The Ubuntu version should not have any effect on the results. Both the LSI- and Adaptech-controllers was used with the latest versions of the drivers. To measure the capabilities of the controllers we have also tested all the controllers with the Linux kernels internal software RAID.

    The kernel used for this test was 2.6.8.1-5-amd64-k8-smp. The x86_64 version of Warty was used.

  14. Re:That's cool... on Cuba Switching to Linux · · Score: 1

    It's ever so political correct to hate the US over here in Europe. Many people see the US as the über bad guys and are in many ways glorifying the likes of Castro and Hussein because of this. Here in Norway various left-oriented parties were actually raising funds to support the "military opposition" in Iraq(yes the wackos that are blowing themselves up)...
    I'm no US-fanboy myself, and I was not pro the Iraq invasion, but I think it's sad to see the growing unbalanced hatred against the US here.

    Hey, what a cool project! Gotta love comments like "There's so much support for Linux and BSD on this hardware that it's hard not to build one" :-) Now if enough people hooked up WLAN routers in their cars you could build a mesh network and Internet access could be provided by any available open static access point(s) so that you dont have to pay big $$$ for the mobile linkup.

  17. IP layer meshing on Introducing 802.11s - Wireless Mesh Networking · · Score: 1

    Mesh IP-routing is actually quite widespread in experimental free comunity networks theese days. Check out http://www.freenetworks.org/

  18. How about multi-hop? on Wide Area Wireless on a Shoestring Budget? · · Score: 2, Informative

    You could get a mesh network up and running without too much cost. If you invest on 3-4 Linksys WRT54(g) devices and run something like http://www.olsr.org/ on them, then you have a running mesh network.

    The meshCube is excellent for mesh netwroking using MANET routing protocols. It has sucessfully ran the optimized linkState routing protocol from http://www.olsr.org for self configuring multi hop operation.
