   I guess that's something else a bunch of us learned about the world from moving in those circles. Important life lessons provided by being at least adjacent to music piracy.

   The article touches on the topic and mentions Nine Inch Nails' and Radiohead's 'free' album releases. There's also the possibility/likelihood (I can't recall the results of the research) that increasing ex

   Edited to add first: nice article covering an important couple of critical pieces of the Internet's history. Concerning the "Joy" element: Someone at my workplace started a Music League, with a select few music aficionados an

   Yeah, I'm thinking along similar lines. I'm not all that heavily VLAN'd, but I have my devices grouped into IP address ranges with static DHCP assignments, and I'm thinking of restricting internet access for a number of

   So how do you get Internet? Is it provided as a shared wifi service for the building or something, like in a hotel? (so the building manager is essentially running a mini-ISP re-selling a single NBN service?) HTP!

   I'm on AGL and looking to change to the Ovo 4.7 cents per kWh (midnight to 6am) plan. The per day supply cost is higher as are some of the other rates, but overall should still save me roughly $20 a month - by my calculations.

    What plan and what provider to get free power from midnight to 6am? I'm in a plan that gets me $0.08/kWh during those hours, and I'm planning to switch to one that's just over half that, but I haven't come across an

    What is the limiting factor in getting NBN? Getting fiber to the premises is that hard part, and that's already done.

    Toyota's first Prius (hybrid) came out in 1997 and Nissan's first Leaf (full electric) in 2010. Both Japanese, both ahead of the curve, now way behind it. It is an interesting situation. Anecdote: I have a 2014 Leaf, purchased a c

    It was a stupid throw away comment about how expensive power could become in the near future, such that popping corn becomes a 'lifestyle choice'. Having said that, throughout the years I have made the odd comment about how fragil

    Whilst I'm glad I got myself an EV, I'm entirely aware of the society-wide effects this will have on, literally, almost everything, from general inflation to food insecurity due to the fertilizer situation. How much money has this

    I liked Innocence for the overwhelm-of-ideas. I will say outright that 'i don't entirely get it' but I very much like that it exists and I rewatch it every couple of years to just sit under the waterfall of concepts, no matte

    I took their implication as China is essentially next in line to be the dominant superpower. (I would say that, within that implication, it would be understood that corruption is not a problem that is being solved in that transfer of power)

    The thing I worry about is: what happens when an actual set of adults get back into the White House? That could well be the trigger for the crash of all crashes because they might actually bring some reality pins with them, which are the an
