Researchers at MIT built an 802.11 mesh network some years back. All it would take would be one or two gateway nodes in the middle of the mesh and you would have Internet at a tolerable speed. It would also save having…
I think you're asking whether they optimized the rewrite, rather than just ported it from Ruby to Scala? I too would be interested to know if there is any data to this.
Can someone how traffic shaping reduces latency rather than simply lowering the amount of load required to cause significant latency? I understand that the aim here is to prevent the router from having to queue packets,…
I think for many Europeans it's easy to forget just how big USA and Canada are. I've been on vacation (we just call it holiday) where we've driven SF -> Yosemite -> Las Vegas -> Arizona -> LA, and on another trip DC ->…
This is the same Microsoft that completely abandoned Windows Phone 7 users, saying phones such as the Nokia Lumia 800 would not be upgradable to Windows Phone 8. That announcement was made 2 months after I received my…
Is this not a __good__ thing for the Americans since the NSA backdoored most Cisco routers (http://www.infoworld.com/article/2608141/internet-privacy/sn...). Much better the North Koreans running Cisco routers which…
Seeing as North Korea only have 3 allocated address blocks, 175.45.176.0/22, 210.52.109.0/24 and 77.94.35.0/24 they only have approx. 1530 globally reachable IP addresses. However, North Korea must have more than ~1530…
Sorry, you're absolutely right! I had confused the two when writing my post.
This is an excellent paper but it does require a prior understanding of the stack, addressing, buffers, pointers, etc. It would be really nice if there was an article or blog post designed for people who want to read…
I've worked with code in the past where the previous developers didn't understand that there was a difference between an integer in a string (i.e. var x = '10';) and an integer (i.e. var x = 10; ). In some ways weak…
Is that not because, at the time, you were much more of a beginner than you are now? I've been studying Computer Science for the last four years (BSc and now MSc) but was coding for maybe three years before that. Back…
Well that's true, my straw man doesn't quite stand up in this case. However it still doesn't explain why Internet Explorer was the target when there is so much other software that was bundled with Windows, which too had…
I don't quite see what interaction over the Internet has to do with the issue. Microsoft Office is regularly bundled with new Windows computers as a trial, or basic license. Could that not be seen as anti competitive? I…
