  1. For those who don't understand Polish on Use Multiple Channels for Faster Wireless Networking · · Score: 4, Informative
    The folks used devices that are freely available on the market (WiFi or WLAN PCMCIA cards, amplifier, antennas, etc), chosen locations within the range of about 66 miles (110 km) with visibility (to achieve this you must see the other point).
    So this is a relatively cheap method to get Internet access in distant locations, specifically in mountains, where it is difficult to get a wire.

    Regards

    Exactly. I was born in Europe, grown here and have family here.
    I have been in USA for two months only, attending an IBM course.

    This is Moore's law.
    Murphy's Law says that if something may go wrong, it will.

    > Heck, it's already illegal, technically, in the USA to watch DVDs with open source software, even DVDs that you have legally purchased.
    Fortunately I live outside USA, where it IS legal.
    In my country even reverse engeneering is legal, as long as your intentions are legal (ie. for education or compatibility purposes). So the DRM encryption code may be legally reverse enginered and then a compatible open source application build.
    At least as long as EU don't force us to change that :-(

  6. How are they going to enforce that? on Sony, Intel To Push Content Protection · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I can't see any way to enforce that.
    Of course assuming you are using linux or other open source OS.
