They note how television broadcasters are interested in this kind of technology to prohibit the loss of distribution rights to things like the Olympics."

New Slashdot Code - a late comment seems to suggest that even Slashdot is getting on the building barriers and walls bandwagon.
But that's not how the internet was built or how OSS is.
Gee, maybe MS ought to see if they can impliment the personal ID and access system on Slashdot....
What do you support? Wall to divide and conqure and control the masses, or open honest systems?
Irony
If you know from where are the e-mails that you get, you can avoid foreign spam.
Because that is not prejudice. It's information [+5].
This way we can avoid annoying e-mails from JonKatz' friends.

Why is this bad? You're going to get the banner ads anyway, might as well get one for something you are more likely to use.
Hmm, it claims I'm in Paris, France. Great! ;-)
Out the window it still looks like cold snow here in Sweden though
1. How are you so sure I'm an American?
2. What is particularly American about entertainment in general? Europeans like American entertainment in addition to native entertainment. Americans like European and Asian entertainment in addition to that made in America.
3. Who benefits from artificially imposed borders on the network?
4. (obligatory flamebait) If we're going to pick nationality fights, what country created the network to begin with?
CEE5210S The signal SIGHUP was received.
First, am I am supposed to be scared by your lower number. You assuming that the number actually means when I first started on Slashdot and not when this name and id was created. Either way - being a long time member of slashdot doesn't make you any more wise or intelligent. I am actually starting to believe the contrary.
Second, you didn't even address my post. You instead reacted (in typical slashdot fashion) to only what you had an answer for.
Third, I assumed you were American because I am American and I see the close-minded ethnocentrism everyday from my colleagues.
Finally, to clarify my post. Languages and countries are not artificial boundaries. They truly exist. Wouldn't it be nice if I lived in Germany that I could view a website automatically in German; either translated by the company or with a link to a babelfish translation? It would be even nicer if I didn't get bombarded with ads for companies that don't even exist in my country.
I just heard some sad news on talk radio - Horror/Sci Fi writer Stephen King was found dead in his Maine home this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss him - even if you didn't enjoy his work, there's no denying his contributions to popular culture. Truly an American icon.
My word, aren't you high and mighty Mr acceleriter, after this "apparent flamebait" from a disgusting 500,000+ uid pig got modded +1: Interesting and your clearly more valuable <250,000 uid post gracing the page was modded -1: Offtopic.
Sheesh, what a fruitcake. Elitism at its radiant best.
A word can paint a thousand pictures
