  2. If it were the USA... on Shanghai Government Proposes 100 Community Hackerspaces · · Score: 1, Redundant

    If it were the USA each would need a patent lawyer to make sure nobody made something tablet shaped, with buttons that can be clicked more than once, had wheels or anything else covered by patents.

  3. The problem isn't equal treatment of all traffic on Senate Set To Vote On the Repeal of Net Neutrality · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The problem isn't equal treatment of all traffic. Nobody would complain about FTP traffic being slowed during busy bursts to avoid interfering with voice traffic. It is the stated aim of some ISPs to throttle back certain sites unless you pay a premium. So Microsoft could agree to pay certain ISPs to advertise bing while at the same time making google very slow and barely usable. They could also undermine free sites by charging the provider to allow customers reasonable access, meaning that they have a charge to pass on somewhere. The end result will be the end of the free to access internet.

    In this case that would be a step in the right direction. Flash is much more widely available than Silverlight is at present.

    Much as i don't like flash at least flash sites are accessible from Linux. I have been told that a few Silverlight sites work with moonlight but have not found any myself

    I'll admit... it's entirely possible that I don't understand the meaning of that word.

    Just in case you're mind's going where I think it is, on no account should you stick your dick in a beehive..... At least without smoking it first.

  7. Re:More Applications on Faster Algorithm for Sphere Packing Discovered · · Score: 2

    Sphere packing is related to all crystalline structures, not just liquid crystals. This could have a profound impact on material science, as a whole.

    I think this will be limited by the constraint on the maximum diameter, which will exclude most crystalline substances. It could have an impact on monomolecular wires though.

  23. Re:Phew... on World Emissions of Carbon Dioxide Outpace Worst-Case Scenario · · Score: 4, Informative

    Note that the US, who in principle did not sign the Kyoto protocol, actually reduced emissions significantly (not just reduction in growth, but actual reduction) since 2007 due to the economic recession.

    So, we don't want to reduce carbon emissions because it will hurt our economy - but hurt the economy and emissions automatically reduce. Sounds like a vicious cycle that needs a technological exit strategy to me.

    Either you are wrong or the article's graph sourced from the US department of energy is. It shows no significant reduction, only a slight dip before a continued upward trend.
