I'd love to see it coming, at least like another supported standard in computers.

While I agree with most of your points, it's still GOOGLE's decision who should be part of them. We are all doing this - selecting our favorite shops, favorite vendors, favorite places, and we are OK with it. Why business can not choose the similar?
Comment I just don't get it. But I'm not from US. (Score 1) 120
The company _offers_ a position to some _applicants_, and it's the company decision who should get this position. If they want young people, male, thin, or white, I think it should be just announced, to not waste other people time.
We all have some expectations about the employees on particular job position. People working with other people (like salesmen, waitress, stewards, etc) should have some specific features, and it's widely accepted. Why we cannot accept limitations for other job positions as well?
Comment compare the speed on different ports. (Score 1) 203
Please note, the OP asks for the ways that can be accepted as a legal means.
I would set up some host on the internet with public IP, and set the pack of speedtests (for instance using iperf) using different TCP/UDP ports. If the tests will show some significant differences on the ports used by P2P, than for ports 80/443 for example, this could be accepted as a proof, I suppose.

Submission + - Online multiplayer games on TI calculators? (cemetech.net)
Anonymous Coward writes: "A calculator enthusiastic has managed to allow TI-83 Plus and TI-84 Plus graphing calculators to connect to the Internet with the help of an Arduino board. It is called Global CALCnet 2.2 and there is already a chat program demonstrating it. Multi-player games for gCn such as a Scorched-Earth clone are currently in the works. Maybe in the near future we will be playing some variant of Ztetris against our friend on the other side of the world?"
Submission + - 172 doomed BBC sites saved by one geek, for $3.99 (thenextweb.com)
revealingheart writes: The BBC is set to close down 200 of its websites in the near future as part of cost-cutting measures. Hearing that 172 of these sites would be deleted from the Web entirely, an anonymous individual has taken matters into his or her own hands.
The result is a BitTorrent file that anyone can download to store a backup of these “lost” websites forever. The cost of the project? Apparently no more that $3.99 for a VPS server to crawl and retrieve all the sites.

Submission + - Pirated app sold on Mac App Store (wolfire.com)
iDuck writes: When Wolfire Games released their animal martial arts games, 'Lugaru HD', on the Mac App store, shortly after they could be forgiven for thinking they were seeing double. A counterfeit version of the software is currently available on the app store at a much lower price point under the name 'Lugaru'. The best bit: as yet Apple have not responded to Wolfire's emails to rectify the situation. Whilst the source to the game was GPLed, "the license made it very clear that the authors retained all rights to the assets, characters, and everything else aside from the code itself".
