Do you have any advice for keeping a positive attitude in this screwed-up world of government surveillance, software patents, and DRM?

I use Groove IP. It does integrate with the native dialer if you get the paid version ($5). I use it as my only phone number. Works great as long as I have a (stable!) wifi connection.
Emscripten and New Javascript Engine Bring Unreal Engine To Firefox 124
MojoKid writes "There's no doubt that gaming on the Web has improved dramatically in recent years, but Mozilla believes it has developed new technology that will deliver a big leap in what browser-based gaming can become. The company developed a highly-optimized version of Javascript that's designed to 'supercharge' a game's code to deliver near-native performance. And now that innovation has enabled Mozilla to bring Epic's Unreal Engine 3 to the browser. As a sort of proof of concept, Mozilla debuted this BananaBread game demo that was built using WebGL, Emscripten, and the new JavaScript version called 'asm.js.' Mozilla says that it's working with the likes of EA, Disney, and ZeptoLab to optimize games for the mobile Web, as well."
Emscripten was previously used to port Doom to the browser.

+1 for Buffalo. I have 2 Buffalo routers, and both of them are rock-solid stable. I have one of them running OpenWRT as a NFS server of a 3 drive RAID array... over USB. Yes, I'm slightly crazy.

Haha. But wait... why is there a 192GB limit? Shouldn't it be much higher? Wikipedia says that it should be at least 256 TB.
