World Summit On The Internet And IT
eegad writes "The Seattle PI reports on the upcoming first phase of the World Summit on the Information Society to be held in Geneva on December 10-12. 192 nations are involved in the effort to set some ground rules for the Internet (a little late, eh?) including ways to deal with spam, a possible "digital solidarity fund" to help developing nations, and discussion of UN regulation. The goal of this phase is to adopt a "Declaration of Principles" and "Plan of Action". Some countries plan on asking for a UN commission to study new ways of running the Internet aimed at the 2005 phase. The official website will provide coverage of the event. How come I wasn't invited?" The Washington Times also has a piece on it, as well. We had covered this a bit before.
is how become I got so frosty on this mornee. so frosty...ohhh so frosty...[shivers]
...and if people in these whiney African countries put their foots down and stopped their ex-leaders from running off to Amsterdam with all those millions of dollars, these African countries would have one hell of an infrastructure.
When life hands you lemons, grab the salt and pass the tequilla...
Debian is outdated.
Debian sucks.
There is nothing to see here.
Move along! Move along!
The more rules and red tape that exists the more criminals and bs exists.
Hopefully they decide to have a floating control system. Meaning that nobody actually controls it per se, but instead certain bodies are responsible for certain aspects.
I hope they do something about Quality control, I seem to be using books(remember those!!) more these days for research then the InternationalNetwork of junk.
One more thing, for the sack of humanity, please do not let the republicans have any power over the Internet.
Regulations could be a good thing, if kept short, simple, few off and open.
I have a feeling that it will be otherwise.
In a surprise move - SCO Corporation (SCOX) has announced that it has found that the internet is actually a derived work of Unix System V, and consequently they are moving to sue WIPO, ICANN, the US government and all internet users for copyright infringement. To avoid any penalties, a license is being offered in advance of litigation that can be purchased by the internet user for $770. See www.sco.com for details.
Have you compiled your kernel today??
The greatest threat to the continuation of freedom and economic liberty in the United States right now is Hitlary Clinton.
What part of "A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state" do you not understand? (being the first part of the second amendment)
Your selective quotation is just embarrassing. You have the right to bear arms, but only as part of a "well regulated militia".
Come to think of it the Second Amendment isn't even grammatical.
