Ubuntu Jaunty seems to have just updated its wireless network and broke my settings. Had to change the mode from Infrastructure to Ad-Hoc in the connection settings.

Techdirt

This is a bit of an e-vote for TechDirt. I don't agree with everything those guys say, but lately they've had several in-depth articles and they research their stuff well and are honest when they're wrong.

However, I was a bit annoyed at them dissing CSIRO's wifi patent. I mean, fine, the patent system is heavily abused, but the suggestion that CSIRO should have become a wifi device manufacturer instead of licensing out the technology is a bit ridiculous. And they did license it -- the companies involved just tried to weasel out of paying up once they'd learned everything they needed.

Edit: revoked. No longer a fan.
