USTR Critical Of Japanese TD-CDMA Licensing
News for nerds writes "Yahoo Asia reports that the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) said in its annual report that the Japanese government has so far refused to issue experimental licenses to certain U.S. companies to test the new TD-CDMA technology. It attacks China and S. Korea along the line. The funny thing is, according to Impress Internet Watch, the Japanese government states that no U.S. companies had actually applied for the license so far. ITmedia also reports the Japanese government didn't deny foreign application, while criticizing the government for too narrow bandwidth of TD-CDMA that can be monopolized easily. Is this the precursor of another wave of pressure onto technology from Japan?"
It's kind of sad that there are still immature people around who equate drunkenness with fun (or sex with love for that matter). Why don't you grow up?
If there won't be any US installations or manufacturers then this is a lot of hot air!
GSM was not invented by USA. So it is obsolete. Ha ha ha...
CDMA was invented as a rival to GSM by USA. So it is new, modern, useful.. blah...blah..
When will you non-US guys learn? Anything that US did not invent is obsolete. Anything that US has invented MUST be used only by US companies to earn profit for US.
Dilution of that invention will attract DMCA, RIAA, MPAA...
Why don't you just go and mind your own business you piece of eurotrash or whatever you are?

When the pin is pulled, Mr. Grenade is no longer your friend. If the enemy is within range, so are you. Try not to look important; the enemy may be low on ammo. Don't ever be the first, don't ever be the last and don't ever volunteer . Never Invade Russia In The Middle Of Winter If at first you don't succeed, call in an airstrike. Point the little end of the gun at the guys you want to die. A sucking chest wound is Nature's way of telling you to slow down. Anything you do can get you killed, including nothing. Rape, Pillage, then Burn --> in that order only Always use teamwork; it gives the enemy someone else to shoot at. If your attack is going really well, it's an ambush. Nukes are not short-range weapons Never draw fire; it irritates everyone around you. The enemy attacks on two occasions: when they're ready and you're not Those who live by the sword get shot by those who don't Don't Die for your country; Make the other guys die for theirs! Never forget that your weapon was made by the lowest bidder. There is no such thing as friendly fire. Just because you can't see them, doesn't mean they can't see you. The winner gets to write the rules. If at first you don't succeed, bomb disposal probably isn't for you. Never interrupt your opponent when he is making a mistake. There is no bullet with your name on it, They are all addressed to "Occupant" Tracers work both ways When you capture the spy don't tell him the plan, just kill him! All 5 second grenade fuses burn in 3 seconds. Do not fight a land war in Asia. Shoot first; don't ask questions. The easy way is always mined. If they can't get in you can't get out Never pick a fight with someone more desperate than yourself "Friendly-Fire" isn't Rule No. 1: Win. Only attack profitable countries The winner gets to write the history books What gets you promoted from one rank gets you killed in the next rank. When the other guy throws a grenade, pull the pin and throw it back. When you have secured the area, make sure the enemy knows it too. Shooting in the back is allowed The more incompetent the leader is, the more important the mission is. When trying to get nuke to release from plane: don't sit on it A retreating enemy is actually just falling back and regrouping. Rule No. 2: Cheat. Thou must count to three. Three shall be the number of the counting. You are not Superman; Marines and fighter pilots take note. If there are no witnesses, it didn't happen. If you can get the other suckers to think there are rules you can get them good No tag-backs Prisoners of war must be de-liced in front of a TV camera. Don't ask, don't tell Don't get into a foxhole with someone braver than yourself Drop the pin, throw the grenade Everyone must have matching outfits before shots can be fired. Always aim for the hopeful young boy, never his world-weary superior. Never invade a country that's more than 5000 miles away When you see a mime shoot it (also good when you are not at war) Speak softly and always drive around in an M1A2 Abrams Magazines mean amunition One word NUKE dont f*ck the hot dead civilian Don't tick off the United States of America ... again
1) Shoot at the guys with rags on their heads
Always remember that main characters can take more hits.
Rule #1: there are no rules.
Don't fire until you see the wax in their ears
Always Take Over France
Dont pick up the soap
Don't look conspicuous; it draws fire.
The country with the best Germans wins.
Look unimportant; enemy may be low on ammo and not want to waste it.
There are no rules.
There are rules? Really?
The slow blade penetrates the shield
There Can Be Only One
kill everyone who doesnt look, act, think, or smell like you
Kill 'em all and let God sort 'em out!
Take the hills.. Grab'em and squeeze'em.
Don't rush... or at least say "kekeke" when you do.
Shoot first, ask questions later
"Kill them all, God will know his own"
Show me your bolt action soldier
If they are brown, shoot em!
Sorry but this is bullshit! I don't think mobile phones produce "coherent" microwaves, they're not masers after all.
WTF is "oscillatory similitude" - does it have anything to do with crytals.
This makes as much sense as reflexology, is this Nageswari a Raelian by any chance?
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.

Contracts Award Monitoring Committee.
Zambian Ministry of Mining and Resources.

ATTN:,
I humbly wish to solicit for your assistance in a business transaction.
This business proposal I wish to intimate you of will be of mutual
benefit to the both of us and its success is entirely based on mutual
trust, cooperation and a high level of confidentiality.
I am representing the board of the contract award and monitoring
committee of the Zambian Ministry of Mining and Resources. I am seeking
your assistance to enable me transfer the sum of US$15,000,000.00
(Fifteen Million United States Dollars) into your private/company
account.
The fund came up as a result of a contract awarded and executed for and
on behalf of my Ministry. The contract was supposed to be awarded to two
foreign contractors to the tune of US$180,000,000.00 (One hundred and
Eighty Million United States Dollars). But in the course of negotiation,
the contract was awarded to a Bulgarian contractor at the cost of
US$165,000,000.00 (One hundred and Sixty-Five Million United States
Dollars) to our advantage unknown to the contractor. This contract has
been satisfactorily executed and inspected as the Bulgarian firm is
presently securing payment from my Ministry, where our Board is
in-charge of all foreign contract payment approval.
As a civil servant still in active government service, I am forbidden by
law to operate an account outside the shores of Zambia. Hence this
message to you seeking your assistance so as to enable me present your
private/company account details (preferably an empty account) as a
beneficiary of contractual claims alongside that of the Bulgarian
contractor, to enable me transfer the difference of US$15,000,000.00
(Fifteen Million United States Dollars) into your provided account.
On actualization, the fund will be disbursed as stated below.
1. 20% of the fund will be for you as beneficiary
2. 80% of the fund will be for us.
All logistics are in place and all modalities worked out for a smooth
actualization of the transaction within the next few working days of
commencement. For further details as to the workability of this
transaction, please reach me as soon as possible for further
clarification.
Kindly expedite action, as we are behind schedule, to enable us include
this transfer in the first batch which would constitute the first
quarter payments for the 2004 financial year.
Thank you and God bless as I await your urgent response.
