El Reg reports:
The Pirate Bay has poked Big Content's sore spot again, by erecting a site for mobile devices at themobilebay.org. [blocked in some countries]
The new site doesn't do much beyond features offered by The Pirate Bay's other ventures. The site's overseers told Torrent Freak that "The normal version of the site renders like crap on mobile devices", an experience the small-screen version seems designed to improve.
BitTorrent clients exist for Android, iOS devices (after jailbreak), and BlackBerry, so the existence of a mobile site does make it possible more torrents will land in mobile devices.

At least.
You just need the right perspective
I figure about 67k. [google.com]
Maybe someone else knows the distance to the center of the galaxy and that orbital period and can recalculate from that.
...then there's The Local Group...

The universe is expanding so fast that we are being separated from distant galaxies much faster due to the spacial expansion separating us. At least the red shift tells us so.
Speed is just a relative property anyways. No matter how fast you're going as long as you are traveling (sufficiently?) slower than the speed of light then light will always appear to be traveling at the speed of light relative to you. Speed is just a relative property of any two objects. So relative to an imaginary object traveling faster than the speed of light we are traveling faster than the speed of light as well.

Would if I could
Pity my router doesn't support mesh nicely
When we have $25 mesh routers with trivial configuration (net limit 20k via tor etc by default, auto mesh management, etc) then isps can GTH except for when high speed or high bandwidth is needed.

Perhaps some magic stones with transceivers and storage will be popular. Thanks to a certain European island to come up with that idea ;-)

It has been a few months since I last looked, but I was surprised by the lack of options as far as a BT client for Android. An old Android device seems to be a decent miniserver, given it has networking and a build in battery backup with low power draw, but I haven't seen much in the way of apps to take advantage of it.
Does anyone have experience with the BT apps that are on the market, and if any are worth a damn?

This seems kinda useless. I use TPB from my phone all the time; I've never had any problems using it. It certainly does NOT "render like crap" -- it renders exactly the same as on the desktop! Makes it a *bit* weird since it's designed for landscape and the phone is portrait, but that's not really a significant issue. At most all it needed was an alternate stylesheet...
