Comment Relevant to what? (Score 1, Insightful) 641

To mobile application market? Irrelevant.
To online web services? Not so relevant.
To online web server? Very relevant!
To high efficiency applications? It's almost the standard.
To operating systems? There's almost nothing other than C (in terms of market share).

Please, elaborate more on your stupid question, you insensitive mobile clod!

Comment Low tech (Score 1) 516

The power grid is considered by many (investors) low tech. If you check carefully, a lot of energy related stuff is relying on low-tech or old-tech: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2... For these reasons, probably, there is not much attention (or even competences) in planning, research and design. Also technicians tend to underestimate technology impact in those areas.

Any person shall have the same right to access the Internet on equal terms, using appropriate and up-to-date technologies that remove all economic and social barriers.
The fundamental right to Internet access must be ensured with respect to its substantive pre-conditions, not only as the mere possibility of connecting to the Internet.
Access shall include freedom of choice with regard to operating systems, software, and applications.
The effective protection of the right to Internet access requires appropriate public intervention to overcome all forms of digital divide - based on cultural, infrastructural or economic factors particularly as regards accessibility by persons with disabilities.

It's just blabbering without explicitly adding something like:

All authorization to operate will be withdrawn by the Italian Parliament, by means of the AGCOM (Agency for the Communication Warranties [but not freedoms]) from whoever will act against these rights and will prosecute it with criminal files.

Because of a typo in a database I had to wait two years before getting my ADSL.
My rights were thrashed and there has been no way for me to defend them.
The incombent telco simply ignored any communication of mine and never paid for that.
No law, no right!
