I'm not worried about the counterexamples(which are poor because you don't think about fear. Iraq and Afghanistan had people ready to be controlled with fear. American's do not fear our government, as the people of other nations have had cause to fear their governments).
I was just thinking about what you and Hitler have in common. You should read more about him, I bet we have just scratched the surface!
That's all well and good but I think what we all want to know is what William Gibson thinks about T.I.A.
(Feel Free to Insert another Author's Name, or the people I turn to for public policy, Hollywood Actors.)
Also in the interview, he mentions that Bruce Sterling is not his real name. With talk of "coups inside the Republican Party" and the KGB,
I think that Bruce Sterling is Tom Clancy's pseudonym.
BTW, when he says "Poindexter" he is not refering to us computer nerds, he means John Poindexter, programmer, Navy Admiral, National Security Advisor, etc.
Right now I use four BT devices, I just bought a new one this week. The author seems to want 802.11 to replace BT radios. Would I like a cell phone with 801.11, sure! Is it realalistic? Maybe not.
The author makes good points about the nature of Bluetooth and it's "profiles" can be troublesome and feel limiting, but if they replace my Jabra 200 with 802.11 I doubt it is going to have anymore features than the current headset profile, it will just have a different radio.
Proxim & AiroNet where around for years and years before WiFi got hot, and I think good cheap routers and AP's from Linksys;-) and D-Link helped spur that. Today I saw the Jabra headset for $65 @ CompUSA and a Belkin USB Adapter for $35. I think BT is just starting to hit it's stride.
I checked because I care about the issue. I also found myself reading a lot of the other cases, it was very interesting. I learned alot about the court system in those two months.
A little excessive, well I'm sure you don't ever visit the same website once a day.
Typical European, living in the glory of the past.
You crazy Euro's can do what you want. But do you need to copy our systems (Space Based Nav) and use the same names in similar fields? Isn't one of the two enough, thats all I'm asking.
I don't think that this is as good as the first. The biggest flaw is saying the robots where not effected by heat or radiation from our nukes. Well BFD! The EM pulse from all those nukes would have a large effect, but that is not even mentioned. I mean they made a whoe James Bond movie about it people!

Took two minutes but it is Michael Bruce Sterling.

That is a swell opinion of yours. You know Hitler for some reason didn't like citizens being armed also....
You took it seriously and missed the point dumba;:
I love conservative people but not the dumb ones.
TIA, would be fascism not socialism.
No. It was later overturned.

I have an infected toenail. It is real sick with lots of stinking puss and black fur.
Should I...
A: Take AB Meds
B: Cut it off
B?
If you ask questions, one day you may disa...
I had the same trouble, but once I took the tin-foil helmet that protects me from the x-rays from mars off, it stopped sucking
Also, the fine print of WiFi devices says to keep the radio about a foot away from your body.
My BT Headset has 0.0025 Watts of Power
My CF 802.11b has 0.0100 Watts of Power
My T68 Phone has 0.87 Watts of Power
I'll cook my brain with BlueTooth

Jason,
If you can't take a joke. F*ck off.

First they want to replace our GPS, now they want to open a gateway to hell. Please Stop Europe!!! Just fade into the history books.
I would be happy to see it. Maybe a sat that looks for lightning strikes.
Last time I looked, the only space power still in existence was Russia...

Thanks. You just game me a new standard for "the most tastless comment on
A Person from Europe, so what!!!
You Europeans are taking this personally, it's not the name, it's that fact that it had already been used.
Typical European, living in the glory of the past.
You crazy Euro's can do what you want. But do you need to copy our systems (Space Based Nav) and use the same names in similar fields? Isn't one of the two enough, thats all I'm asking.
Whirrled peas, was that a simpsons joke?
-Periscope Depth Mr. Moe.
Doesn't the US have some trademark or some other crap on the name "Galileo" relating to a spacecraft?
Can't Europe do something orginal. Sure copy GPS, but do you need to copy our mission/ship names too?
This weird lack of political morality makes people very uncomfortable.
Let Europe spend the money, with an economy that makes the American look great.
Your right. And last time I checked Europe is not rolling in money.
I'm guessing they will have a $$$ licensing fee on the devices to recoup the cost.
"Americans can't blame anyone for not trusting us after the whole Iraq thing"
Thank God!!! Maybe next time France is invaded they will call somebody else.
