I'm not quite sure smaller area translates to cheaper access. In Canada you pay 44.95/month for 5mbps/800kbps cable connection, which afaik is much cheaper then the US and we're about 100 times the size of S. Korea. Our Cell phone rates however, are significatly higher then the US and I'm sure else where in the world.
I would suggest bleep.com.
It meets all you're requirements (assuming # 4 includes what is available).

I really wasn't expecting hear that tune whilst watching the flash animation. I would've thought they would've been more picky about who uses their songs (i.e. a company that is in bed with all the big evil record companies).
Amercians fear they might loose any millitary advantage in space they currently have over China. If China were to ever clean up it's human rights record, I'm sure they'd have a lot more friends pushing to get them into the ISS. But like that's going to happen anytime soon.
And it fucking sucks. My fault entirely for not actually trying a model out first. It's big, clunky and pig slow. It uses a 33mhz Dragon Ball processor, to power it's (beautiful) 320x320 display. The thing tends to freeze up when attempting to open graphically intense website, I think that's probably because of the low processor with a hi res display. And to top it off, I've had the unit replaced 3 times since I first got it in Dec 2003.
I would highly recommend staying away from such a useless tool.
I agree the price is to much for what you're getting (i.e. not CD quality). But afaik you can burn your music to CD (audio format) for backup purposes/listening on another system.
Supply and demand? How does that apply downloaded music? Supply of copies is unlimited, disturbution could be considered supply I guess. But I am sure Apple has a system that scales quite well.
which LTSP server part would that be? AFAIK LTSP uses local X servers on clients which use XDMCP to query the "LTSP Server" (which is KDM/XDM/GDM in listen mode). LTSP "glues" existing technologies together to provide its terminal services.
I have no doubt they spend loads of money on R&D. But the fact that they own the plant out right is scary. What happens when seeds are found on someone elses property? People get sued by corporations. This has already happened (at least in Canada). Something like a short patent life span could possibly make the concept bareable. But strict controls need to be in place on how and where these would grow, what about their seeds (i.e. they should be infertile if thats even possible).
You purchase a optical digital to stereo analog converter, and there you go. On the higher end models they already have an analog input. Their crappy as a mp3 player (bad software to interface with it, conversion time from mp3 to atrac2/3). But as a recording device, excellent.
Wrong. I've got a NetMD with an optical digital in. It appears to be sony specific (i.e. no toslink), but what would expect from a company that encrypts the transmission of music from host pc over USB to the device?
Yes, but the point being is you then have to setup a tape server. This would, I'm sure, fit well into existing infrastructure. i.e. you've got a MS domain, or Active Directory, an existing Fileserver/tape backup unit. But if you don't have existing infrastruture, and you want reliable backup, you need to purchase a second unit to mirror to, or a system with a tape drive.
how do I do an offsite backup of the data that I have on it. Really, I love the idea of plugging in the device and BooMfile sharing actioning is going on. But when you need to back up the data... what do you do? Buy another one? Hope nothing bad happens to the building it's in or the device itself? something like a usb 2.0 / firewire / scsi connection for an external tape drive or even an external HD to back it up to would be ideal. Otherwise you've got all your data in one spot, which is fine until shit happens..
also makes it hard to support by a company? i.e. If I roll my own kernel and optimizations for an app, will the company be able to support that, as well as thousands of other combos?
I'm not familiar with Calvin & Hobbes, but the images are nearly identical. it would seem they took the originals and added to them. If I used an (non-trademarked) image from a large corportation and added my own text, that wouldn't constitute a copyright infringment?
passwords and port knocking are two different things. A perfect example of what it could allow to be done is on knockd's homepage. Basically, ssh would not be an open port, you'd have to knock (connect to) the right sequence of ports, which would trigger a rule that could allow only the IP that made the successful knock, access to the ssh port. Then when your done you would have another sequence of ports you'd have to "knock" in order to remove the rule allowing access.
Well I remember when the power went out, I had thought it was our buildings bi-anual powerloss. We were due for one. Our Internet connection/switches/servers are all on UPS's so the laptops could still get on the net, as well as the server console. Now what was weird was I started getting alerts from our monitoring system about customer servers/routers and sites that were down... and they were all accross southern ontario. I had no idea what to make of it, at the time I still assumed it was a local problem. Eventually it all made sense, right after listening to the on hold radio that was plugged into a UPS. What was cool was our co-located servers (in Downtown Toronto), were still humming away and our clients from Newfoundland were still running their business from those servers. 100% guarentee is sweet.

The court ruled that the gene and the process to insert that gene is patentable, the plant however, is not patentable.

works fine for a PC on PC, but not in the case of this article.

at raising the competition's profile, in a positive way.

yeah, when compaines consipire to raise prices even though supply is available, it's called price fixing.

you can sure bet that opening the box in your car to hack it will get you sent straight to jail.
some cool things could be done with it for sure....

they start implementing for their safety and our own...
that's all well and good... but what about Canada?
cause they all take place in different countries, and different countries have different rules, views, histories, etc.
