  1. Re:Thank you SLASHDOT! on CSIRO Settles With Tech Giants Over WiFi Patent Spat · · Score: 1

    You are probably going through deep packet inspection in your country and the firewall is having trouble deciding if Slashdot is The Pirate Bay.

  2. Re:Patent Laws on CSIRO Settles With Tech Giants Over WiFi Patent Spat · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Let's say I'm doing some cool scientific work in wireless communication stuff and I invent a cool method for communication over soda which is sure thousands of times more efficient than ethernet over fiber. Now, do I have to build a factory to make and commercialize my new cool NICs ? Or can I patent my idea, and get a share from whoever makes money out of it ? I think you get the point in this case.

    I tried it and it works great. My IP changes every minute or so. The only problem that I'm having is random slowness but I think it'll improve over time.. gotta have more people sponsoring onion server

  5. Re:Count down traffic lights are a really bad idea on China's Superior Technologies · · Score: 1

    Here in Maringá, Brazil all the city has those kinds of traffic lights. They've a green column with 5-6 green lights, a yellow light and then a red column with another 5-6 red lights.

    When it's open to pass the top green light stays on and the last light too. The light keeps dropping until it reaches the bottom light. Control then pass to the yellow light and then to the red column (like the green one).

    There is some time when the traffic lights are red for every street of the avenue. Some people have learnt that and sometimes they move when the last red light is still on but, for their safety, no car should be crossing (all streets already closed).

    AFAIK people like it. One street here or there has those old traffic lights (3 lights) and people get anxious because they don't know when it's going to open or close.

    isn't this called addiction ? I would rather live in the woods than write COBOL.

  8. Re:Porting to the PPC ... on FreeBSD 5.2 Released · · Score: 1

    It's not as simple as teaching a bootloader how to load the kernel or people would already have done that. There is low-level code to deal with the specific architecture features that isn't *that* easy to write and debug. Plus additional hardware is needed and most important, people.
