Sad enought, Poland will probably step under pressure from big ones (such as M$, Siemens and others). They made the same blackmail to our prime minister and probably he was not the man with hard balls.
probably Washington got warned by their alien friends to prevent scientists from finding their exoplanet. And scientists are closer and closer to do it....
Remember, that computer systems involved in 1960's missions had power similar to pocket scientific calculator, and somehow they succeeded. I think the core problems lie in engineering area...
According to the page, one of the antenas was on the roof of 10-storey building in Wroc?aw (city is located in between 100 and 148 meters above sea level), and (as I believe - it's/.'ed now) the Sniezka mountain (which is 1602 meters above the sea level). Thus the antenas were substantially off the ground...
Chernobyl (Czarnobyl) was at first (12th century) in Kiev Duchy; since 14th century is was Lithuanian property. Later it was part of Polish-Lithuanian union, later - under Russian occupation. Between WW1 and WW2 it was Polish again; after WW2 - Soviet and now - Ukrainian.
In short: Chernobyl estates belonged to Chodkiewicz aristocratic family since mid-18th century. Let's move to 1986, Poland, Warsaw University. Few days after explosions history students turned to their professor, who had aristocratic origin; and his family had had estates not far from Chernobyl before WW2. They told him "Professor, there was exlosion in nuclear plant at Chernobyl". He replied: "At Chernobyl? That are Chodkiewicz family estates, there had been always a mess".
The "right" involved is unencumbered access to basic infrastructure.. [......] But, it is impossible to have those biggies without a large mess of smallies.
So you think, that Nomads are not free people, as they don't have running water and electricity? I would rather call you "slave" to those services. Try to live two weeks without such facilities... if you can.
I remember that in certain weather conditions it was possible to catch greek tv channels on Malta. Distance is quite comparable - over 500+ km. Of course it occured when storms with ionised air travelled over Mediterrean sea.

Huh, I live in one of those tradicionally catholic countries; our archi-bishop prayed for victory of our national team.
Team did not make it though group stage; probably God did not like Polish school of football; they won only with US:-/ (definitely "the lord works in mysterious ways")
"I bet the numbers are even more favorable to white-box vendors in the rest of the world. At least my feeling is that in poorer countries most of the PC sells are white-box type."
In my biased opinion (I'm from "rest of the world";-) ) I can only agree. There are fewer customers ready to pay much more just to have PC from big US vendor. Major local vendors still take smaller profit margin; local white box vendors are even cheaper. With possibility of purchasing components from warehouses importing them directly from manufacturers (mostly in US, Taiwan and China) systems some twice or more cheaper that brand system with same configuration.
The importance of service is also altered here - service of big vendors may be not as great and fast as in US, sometimes you have to wait quite long for servicing stuff. Besides, I had never any problems with return policy with small vendors e.g. at "PC components flee market" (Yes, there are some in some parts of the world); and I had some with big market players.
So in my region main customers for boxes from large vendors are large international companies that want to keep standard throughout the world; and perhaps some nouveu-rich. Other customers would rather pay less and have better service.... What's more: usually in my country you have to wait ca. 3 weeks for delivery of hardware from Compaq, HP etc.; white boxes come much sooner.
REMEMBER, it is NOT the job of the prosecutor to decide what is just. It is the job of the prosecutor to argue for the strongest judgement possible, the job of the defendant to argue for the weakest judgement possible, and the JUDGE to ensure all arguments are reasonable and find the most just and legal balance behind all.
Nonsense! Prosecutors job is to find the truth, i.e. if he finds the evidence that proves that the defendant is not guilty, he has obligation to disclose it to the court.
Perhaps you have mistaken it with the defence - yeap, their job is just act biased in favor of defendant.
At least in countries with civilised jurisdiction. I have more and more doubts whether US judicial system is civilised, when verdicts could be bought.
Say no to drugs! At least to those produced by Gl/SmKB...

No. M$ products are being made to satisfy undemanding population. Therefor they are kitsch.
No, I guess you would be spammed about tour opportunities in Mexico and about cheap flights to Mexico :-)
yes, zero fotmatting would be great for those silly Eiffel Tower-shaped Guillaume Apollinaire's poems; finally they would be readable.

Note that this is also true of Australia, France, and China and each of their respective populations/legislatures.
I've never heard of someone in Finland pulled out of his house and handed to US just because Chineese or Australian govmnt demanded that.
