Pixel Qis are not e-ink but still amazing. As you said they are reflective LCD, and can also be backlit, thus readable in low light just like a regular LCD. Their market is also small devices, so the size problem is still there (Last time I

Just saw your comment: Thanks for the insight! Now that I understood the root causes and laughed at the related word play, I won't forget anymore :)

It seems to me that lphilips54 is trying to achieve with a license what we would need a patent for. (He speaks of his algorithm)

Thanks for this. I would be interested to know if, in practice (in a court of law), attempt to show something is derivative work when it's not is a more common instance than when it actually is. How easy (or hard) is it to prove someth

I meant IPSec, ND is functionally the same as ARP. Also IPSec support is no longer required with IPv6 so IPv6 might not really help with that.

In theory we agree. But in practice there is little to no firewalling in the default configuration of home routers BUT there is masquerading NAT which behave as a firewall of sorts. NAT under linux is actually done with iptables which is co

by HackinOut 12y ago
Well I don't have stats but from personal experience (perhaps I have a bit more experience with french rather than US providers), home routers do not use a specific stateful firewall, and use masquerading NAT. So it would depend on the

There is a difference between theory and practice: there is no specific use of stateful firewalls in today's IPv4 mr. nobody home router (i.e. most of the routers do not use the --state option of iptables). If we move to IPv6 only, ISP

This is the one thing I didn't get: if it's mapped to nerves why can't he do two pivots at a time? Is it a limitation of the robotics?

by HackinOut 12y ago
Despite the cool robotics and brain control (nerves to be exact), seeing that guy do the one practical thing, picking up a glass and trying to bring it to his lisp after 40 years, was actually the coolest thing.

by HackinOut 12y ago
From a practical aspect, IPv6 (and the removal of NAT) can't come alone: standalone stateful firewalls need to be generalized as well, to replace the way they are embedded in the NAT implementation inside people's modem/rou

NAT as become a pillar of internet security in spite of itself. So with IPv6 as to come improvement in security. As you said the generalization of SSL/TLS as well as ND and IPSec that comes with IPv6 but we also need the generalization

Thanks for the insight. Seems fair to regulate publicly owned goods. Maybe the problem is that the regulation is too dumb? For example it could encourage taxis at night (like many have said Paris at night is terrible and taxis are way too e

Thanks, so apparently they limit the number of licenses causing those horrendous prices? In that case it seems to me they are still at the root of the problem and should fix it now that it has surfaced (paying back licenses that where purch

I feel the same about Uber, had some not so good experiences with UberPop but still hope it will stop those taxi licenses jokes (apparently costing 200k to 300k EUR). But I don't understand this decision since the government has to d

When looking at the example, it did not grasp my attention because it's rare to have links broken in the middle of a word. It did though with words starting with the letter y for example. Too bad because it looks awesome. Worth noting

To be fair they are still working on 0.x, they probably don't recommend the whole thing to be used in production (although I personally wouldn't mind for some specific projects...). At this stage, I understand they just want to

Yes, to me the real problem is indeed owning your stuff... The ability for right holders to revoke your licenses at any moment without a warning and with no control on your side is unsettling. I have worked on a VOD website where we sold so
