Jaw on the floor how this makes it sound like some amazing new things from Mozilla and Adafruit. This was in Chrome over 5 years ago and has been use by countless projects along the way. Great to see it finally get in Firefox but, uh, how about "after objecting this provably useful API for years, we finally implemented it" as a more accurate summary.

This is not what I come to slashdot to read.

Lets see, Cisco had IOS, then apple used that. Then Cisco had XR OS, looks like apple might use that. I guess apples next OS ill be called NX OS since that is Cisco other os. Or perhaps the mention of anything like NeXT as an OS is still forbidden at apple.

Clearly the biggest problem is control of the .org is still under strong influence of the US Govt, (Calif AG in this case). First thing should be to make sure that no single government controls key parts of the internet.

Completely confused the problems of rolling your own crypto with the topic of if RSA or ECC is more secure.

The referenced paper cost $33 to download and it is pretty much shit - there are good reasons why none of what it proposes will work. The abstract of the paper does not even hint and what the paper is about. Yes we should work on robo calling - follow the work of people like Professor Henning Schulzrinne at Columbia university.

My thoughts exactly, can someone explain how this is even possible to do that many or how wikipedia counts "an edit"

(and congratulation to this guy, he probably does great stuff, but this number defies credibility )

Speaking of false news, could we at least get a few details correct. More about Mitchell at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

I expect Cowboy Neil to keep everything on Slashdot 100% true news you can use.

There is not information here, no news, nothing funny just a blatant add for a company with a really expensive and really dubious sounding VPN. I view slashdot as my source of all news that is not fake. What went wrong here. @cowboy_neil - we need answers.

Statistically speaking, egyptian hieroglyphics carved in stone seem to be readable over long time periods.

I think I can run an VPN head end on EC2 and I still seem to be able to pay for that with Visa. But who knows, I look forward to hearing more details about how widespread this is and what is going on. It is really really sad if any government is activity making it harder to use computers in a secure way.

This article was totally lacking in any useful facts about why CGN (Carrier Grade NAT) won't work just fine. As you can see today, lots of games and things like Skype manage just fine to talk to other devices that are also behind a NAT. One of the many ways they do it is ICE (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5245). Most applications today are designed to work behind NATs, that is because most people are behind NATs. Sure, I wish I could wave a magic want and have everyone using v6 but articles like this that have no factual information on what the problem is or why don't help.

4k video has 4 times as many pixels as 1080 video. At the most, it will need 4x the bandwidth? Do you really think that your future internet connection is not going to be 4 times faster than what we have today? In practice the similarity between pixels on typical 4k footage has less variation than HD resulting in better compression ratio and thus the actually bandwidth needed is less than 4x with the same codec. Codecs are also improving H.265 is much better than H.264.

Now lets discuss the size of the screen - Check out the pixels per inch for what apple would call a "retina" display. 4k video will look better even on a TV much smaller than sizes mentioned here.
