Well the Spectrial is over and the judge has retired to mull over the verdict.

Just say no to copyright

This is a great insight into the whole copyright scam.
From music to movies to software.
Imagine a world without copyright - International Herald Tribune
Joost Smiers

there is just no excuse for this ongoing exploitation of artists and the public.

Copyright is a legal invention that has outlived it's usefulness,
Time for us to let it go.

auto letter to smh

Car companies are not a special case.
No company is too big to fail.
We must learn from the farce that was British Leyland in 30 years ago and let commercial realities take their course.
Why is there billions of dollars to prop up foreign owned car manufacturers but the tragedy of the failure of the child care industry gets no comprehensive plan.
But maybe there is a plan post ABC learning.
I want the money spent on the education and care of our next generation rather than an industry that is in terminal decline.

1. turn off support for Atheros 802.11 in >system>Administration>hardware drivers
2 add the back ports for atheros 5xxx chipsets
3. after reboot disable and enable support for this chipset.
Comments-
This needs to go into the Ubuntu main repositories and replace the current atheros drivers
