I'm not quite sure about the uptake of.coop for that matter but what is more interesting is how ".com" focused companies are going to react.
For example what is Sun going to say? "We are the . in.coop"?
I feel the takeup of.coop will not be as great as many internet users have experienced the high and low events of the ".com" these past years (and there is so much more to look forward to)....On the otherhand, the Internet and its users is known to change in many areas.
It might be possible if the China Gov't owns the all the 'top level Chinese' DNS servers. The core motivation is "CONTROL". By restricting the Domain Name registration process to local companies, the Chinese Government has the "CONTROL" to limit and direct business operations..where as Versign would be able to operate outside of this restriction (unless they are forced to sign some agreement).
Prime examples where "CONTROL" would be used by the gov't would be the equivalent Chinese registration of "hotsex.com"....would the gov't allow this? Probably not..thus the need for control.
What about 'Trademarks'??? Are they enforcable for China? Could Coco-Cola, Microsoft, etc stop others from registering their names?
For example, in Chinese the pronuncation for CocaCola is 'hor-loc'. My main question is: let just say there is a 'hor-loc' steal manufactor comapany in China and they decide to register that name... In Chinese there might be many ways to write the SOUND 'hor' and 'loc'...how would the Chinese Gov't or any other authority going to sort this situation out???
....interesting.

go to the consumer section
then click on "Service Plan Locator". They cover a few good SPs.
The prices differ a bit, but you should have a rough idea on how much you will use your cell phone...a good start is to check you current/past cell phone bill and work it out from there.
Good luck.
You could set it to what ever region you disire...ie REGION 3 and NOT 'region free' mode..
D> region 4?
P> nope.
D> region 2?
P> nope.
D> region 3?
P> good.
Maybe newer region free players will have some logic as follows:
Disc> Is player region 4?
Player> Um, yeah-- yeah! I'm region 5!
Disc> Oh -- sorry, only region1 players can play this disc
*RESET/REBOOT*
Disc> Is player region 5?
Player> (Last attempt unsuccessful flag raised!) I'm NOT region 5!
Disc> IS player region 4
and so on...
the DVD player would set the flags and 'remember' boot and try again depending on successful/unsuccessful attempts.
>>After starting up the game you simply choose a ship and select the galaxy you want to be playing in. You can do this in a number of ways. You can either select the desired galaxy in the starmap, enter stellar coordinates, choose a gameserver from a list of servers, or enter the DNS/IP address of a specific gameserver manually.
Now what about those people not located in US? eg Australia, Hong Kong, EU, Malta etc... Does the gameplay depend on ping times? (we probably get lpb issues etc etc)...Do the gameservers talk to each other thus allowing players outside the US to challenge people who are in the US?
you: No thanks, the seat closest to the vga connector for the projector unit.
(I would assume this seat would be close to the screen display)
Another thing: If this happened, would this spark a new era for notebook gaming. No longer will we see cheapo graphic chipsets in them (only good for mindsweeper) but some more of the likes of Voodoo 4/5 or Geforce power....interesting.
If it uses less power and can attain 500Mhz, then I would assume there would be less heat generated which would be great for overclocking! Hey maybe Intel would use this technology to do >2GHz for their future CPUs.
Well as I said before, it seem to me that the process is not producing the right output to your satisfaction. (You've seen better one's before). In your organization there should be a 'process' to ensure that you and everyone on involved in your project is satisfied with the process. If your organization did this, more focus would be placed on the output than complaining about 'forms' and this and that.
Judging from this, your organization does not have this type of quality process reviews where everyone has a say. Your manager(s) are the be all and end of...etc. It appears that the 'design' of process is not effective rendering the process you are implementing ineffective.
A meta-process is still a 'process' that encourages everyone involved to design the process. Your organization does not have this...DESIGN OF THE PROCESS goes hand in hand with the OUTPUT OF THE PROCESS.
The proper design of process will have you focus on the output instead of the process itself therefore 'enlighten' both your staff and yourself.
hehe, well looks like you are sick of the "process system".
"The forms are observed, but the meaning is forgotten"
The forms are observed, and if implemented properly (hopefully) the desired output is produced...that's the whole meaning -ONE objective-THE process- correct output! Now it seems to me that either the "process" you are working on is not correctly designed leaving you unsatisfied with the output or as stated above, you simply dislike the "process". If you feel the latter case is your opinion, (as written in my previous post) your personal work culture is not harmonized with your organisation's culture.
It makes sense because if all staff in your organization feel the same way as you, the process will simply not exist...because no one would be implementing it! The point is your organization has processes in place to ensure STANDARDS are met and the final product is fit for mission critical systems.
"like Christians going to church on Sunday then cutting people off and flipping them the bird on the drive home."
Religions have a process to you know. It calls for the 10 Commandments to be followed.
One commandment states "Do not accuse anyone falsely". Thus, if that person resisted the cut'n'bird technique on the way home, the desired output of the process would be - "LOVE"
Notice the article similar to ISO (International Standards Org), everything revolves around the 'process'. The result is determined by the process. I use to work for a company that had a documented process for everything...from software devlopment right through to filling out your wage timesheet! I think the important thing to note is that it all depends on the 'culture' and type of the organization. If people accept this style of operation then it's great. For a oraganization that has to program software that directly deals with lives at stake, there must be a 'process' to ensure the s/w written perfectly (and tested).
I have come across fellow works where they absolutly hate this type of practice... well they probably best suited for development in non-critical life threatening systems.
Why burn them for a couple of seconds worth of flares...? I think we should actually send them out to deep space (providing they have enough fuel to get out of gravity)...this would definantly last longer.
There's a greater chance that maybe if anything is out there, will find a Satellite floating around...track it's path back to earth etc etc.. don't know if that's good or bad...
Maybe our space travel in the future..we'll find these old satellites again somewhere....and put them into our museums for our future generations...
I agree about open codecs...maybe there could be a player that takes advantages of the new features in xfree86 4.0??
I'm still running 3.3.5 on a moderate video card...frame rate while playing mpeg still a wee bit slow. Anyways...it works and I'm happy we've got these things to play around with.

You have not heard about PS2.1? If I were you I would hold out on that DVD player! :P

Yum multiplayer games onboard?
I bags the Video Projector!!!
I can see this sitation:
CSR: Sir, would you like a window or isle seat?
you: No thanks, the seat closest to the vga connector for the projector unit.
(I would assume this seat would be close to the screen display)
Another thing: If this happened, would this spark a new era for notebook gaming. No longer will we see cheapo graphic chipsets in them (only good for mindsweeper) but some more of the likes of Voodoo 4/5 or Geforce power....interesting.
Wish I could use this baby to improve my rc5 stats. Oh well, just have to put up with 1/20 of the processing power for just one of its node!!
:P

How can they ban that many users when they do not own the software?
The only way I would of thought they could do it is include blacklist capabilities...
How do they combat people changing nicks?
Hmmm, seems pretty impossible to me
Anyone remember the ones in the movie: "You Only Live Twice"??
...
Talk about peak hour traffic...I think the military will be heavily involved if these suckers get built! hehehe
I wonder what people with the $$$ get...
Power steering, alloy flippers, stealth
Yes they can collect a couple of those...apply special atomsphere protection coating, shoot them back in Shoemaker formation...
Why burn them for a couple of seconds worth of flares...?
I think we should actually send them out to deep space (providing they have enough fuel to get out of gravity)...this would definantly last longer.

Just a wild thought...
It will be interesting to see if dual processor on-die will double the performance. I wonder what the SMP overhead will be?
