Comment How on earth does this work? (Score 1) 336

First with modems we used crappy wiring, then they invented ISDN and better wiring for faster signal, then ADSL said they can go faster using that crappy wiring again.

With TV, we used crappy wiring, then HDMI with its fancy connectors, yadda yadda, then these people come out and say plain old Cat 5e from 10yrs ago can do all that + a dozen other things.

In both of these cases, why couldn't we have skipped the costly middle part?

So dolphins keep children safe on the net. Did you know they also get in trouble in real life? Where will the dolphin be then? Instead of this half baked approach, we need a real solution. What I propose, is a GPS tracking chip and button combo to be implanted into every child's wrist. It will also be shaped like a cute dolphin button, but will be useful on and off-line! While we're at it why not give all our children tasers, in case they get into trouble?
