Re:The implications of the end of net neutrality on Thursday February 23, 2017 @04:55AM (#13712760)
There are alternatives to that would allow Telcos to profit without compromising net neutrality, but are more complicated because they imply cultural changes.

For instance, deploying content systems inside the network would reduce bottlenecks and improve latency, and you don't need to mess with the rest of the traffic to do so. Net neutrality is there because we don't want telcos to differentiate traffic based on their value, but based on value for the customer, and that changes faster than commercial agreements.

However, that means changing business models and creating value for users and content creators, unless today, not only providing the network, but a real service on top.

With the end of net neutrality, small companies (that can start without that close to the home content distribution up to a certain traffic), would not be able to compete with the established ones, so innovation will be hindered (unless we all want faster horses)

Re:Stop Disabling SELinux: A Real-World Guide on Thursday February 02, 2017 @03:46AM (#13549066)
I've been using SELinux in my Fedora the last 3 years, always on enforcing mode.

No major problems, just minor policy changes needed that the helper was already suggesting and that were easily fixed.

With the only exception that SELinux does not like my iPhone.

Re:How to read a patent in 60 seconds (2010) on Thursday April 28, 2016 @06:51AM (#11587793)
When I did write patents the lawyers were telling us: - Everything is patentable, it is the enforcing part that is hard (i.e. remember the computer mouse) - Patents are only valid if you have money to enforce them.

And then I heard from some start-up about another: - What are they offering?, they don't even have IP. Nobody is going to buy them...

I got to the conclusion that they are more than any other thing a way to demonstrate value for small companies and a tool for big companies to delay competition from new entrants. I haven't understood yet how patent offices take care of the prior art...

Abstraction to execute... keeping those providers useful and leveraging their capabilites, not the greatest common divisor
Re:IPv4 Declared Historic – Draft on Thursday March 17, 2016 @04:00AM (#11303056)
Wow, I released and RFI 12 years ago on IPv6 when I was working in a Telco, and every vendor talked about it as a reality... I am still waiting for that reality to be an actual one. I am still waiting for my ISP to activate IPv6 in my WLAN at home... after all those years
I would love to see how you automate the full cycle, not only spinning new instances
