So is it just regulation of the 5Ghz spectrum? The parent comment seemed to suggest regulating firmware. A misperception?

That's interesting. Haven't heard about this before. Can you please explain a little bit more about what the FCC is trying to do?

Oh, that's interesting. What exactly did you buy? How much did it cost? I'd love to learn more details. Maybe I can do the same on my roof.
I went to Canadian Tire this month, but with the products that I saw, it didn't look to be an enticing deal in terms of the energy produced for the cost of the products, so I'd be interested to see how you've managed to work it out.

Uh, what do you mean no one's interested on OkCupid? It's the one site where I do get connected. The other sites don't work, but I meet a decent amount of people on okcupid. Just sayin' !

On the other hand, everytime I post on slashdot, my posts get marked down as bad karma. People here seem to have a hate on for exploring diverse ideas. I never get ANY love from slashdot geeks and they're soooooooo rude, insensitive and inconsiderate.
That's why I'm mostly on okcupid these days. I get to meet all these nice smart and sensitive people, like the girl who's into Cognitive Neuroscience I met last month, another one who's a hairstylist 6 months ago, and one who's going to college also 6 months ago, and the one-time hookup deal with another person two weeks ago, and now we're developing a friendship, etc.

On slashdot, I just come here for the news (mostly interested in Quantum Mechancis), and then I just bolt. Something about too much Machismo, it's just not sexy.
Well, this is all the time I'm willing to spend on slashdot. I'm going to go check my okcupid account.

Really? It takes 'scientists' to make LED transceivers + routers these days? and it's news that it goes all the way up to ... less than a gigabit?
With today's technology, they should be able to tease out a cost-effective consumer grade LiFi router that runs no less than 10Gbps.

FF is falling behind and has to rip off other projects pushing the innovative edge. CometBird works faster, and already has a better UI.

Duh.

(Slow news day?)

He has some pretty legitimate arguments, I hope he wins!

World Wide Storage Area Network:
Just upload my 'private photos' to the net and have the nerds keep passing it around as pr0n.

WTF?! Can they really patent this? I mean, I'm using LEDs mounted high up on walls to transfer data... does that mean I'm violating a patent? I got the idea out of a forrest mims booklet!

That interpretation is too fine-grained. You're splitting hairs.

>> Someone assfuck the writer please

> Ah, I see you're looking for an academic discussion here.

No, I'm not looking for an academic discussion. Am just posting my pov.
And I like using colorful language, and assfucking is colorful language.
Assfucking is also fun. Well, I like.

> You would call that "building" on that limit?

Yup :-)

And I'll tell you another book that needs to have a warning, it's the Bible.
They should make it 18+ only and with lots of warning ahead of time, would save plenty of dollars on psychotherapy.

I was really hoping for Polish and Japanese!
