Fact is the cheapest way to provide utilities, electricity, gas, water, telco, etc is govt utility monopolies.
Because economies of scales are king here, the fixed costs are the biggest proportions of costs in such industries.
Take mobile phones whether a company has 100% of the market or 3 companies share the market the fixed costs are the same for each company, obviously the company with 100% share can therefore charge the least. But there's no motive for a monopoly to do that, unless of course its a govt utility monopoly, where politicians can get voted out if they charge too much. This is what keeps electricity costs fair in NSW.
I bet Singapore wouldn't have the broadband rates it has if they didn't have a govt telco monopoly behind it. I bet the Netherlands wouldn't have a over 90% cable TV rate but for a govt cable service monopoly (admittedly only a proportion are paying extra for paid content, the rest just receive their free-to-air through the cable, but it means no ugly antennas messing up the skyline where their are row houses everywhere).
Facts are, only in places with govt telco utilty monopolies or govt cable service monopolies will there be broadband take up rates for anywhere aproaching 90%. Its just too bloody expensive when the market is divided up between different providers all with the huge infrastructure costs, which arn't much different to what a company with 100% of the market would have, relatively speaking.
Can you imagine the economies of scale if their was just 1 nationwide cable TV (infrastructure service, not content) & telco with 100% of the market in the US.
as long as the telly & vcr are less than nearly 10 years old.
Ones made now are all PAL, NTCS & SECAM compatible - its simply better economies of scale on the production side & simpler warehousing/distribution setups.
Go see what happens when you log onto a site with 3 different flash menues, you get 3 popups asking you log onto the netscape plugin page. Then you've got to click download, work out it went went into the bloody Uhix tree & then get the bloody plugin working.
Here in Sydney. People get into A big hooha when suburb boundaries are updated/corrected/change & they end up with a less exlusive postcode. Take the leafy Northshore suburb of Wahroonga, some claimed their properties were devalued $40,000 because of the change from the Wahroonga postcode to the Turramurra postcode.
For example, I know after many years those IMEI stolen phone blocking is only now being trialed in Oz..
Gez, every GSM phone I've owned has been stolen (being an ex-junkie, well these days more of a once in a blue moon junkie, I know plenty of junkies), except for my current one, & all worked fine with pre-paid sim cards, whether in Oz, the Netherlands, France or the UK
Its designed as a basis for other developers to develop browsers/news/mail apps/bundles for end uses.
Think AOLs new Compuserve browser, Galeon for Linux, K-Meleon(sp?) for Windows, Chimera (MacOSX), customised/specialised browsers for intranets, corporate networks/employees, Universities, etc, etc.
They're the end-user products - one could say Moz is a the equilivent of OEM browser that cloners build retail browsers off, with their own badge on the front & some customisations.
That's why on the majority of the planet, patents, trademarks & copyright comes under the civil court.
& Criminal legislation in regard to IP in the remaining countries is relatively new, since about 25 years ago.
Say with trademarks, until then you could sell fake fashion label stuff (fake Adidas Romes in the 70's) quite legally as far as the crimes act was concerned. Although Adidas could sue you for trademark infringement in the civil court. Plus the police could prosecute you for fraud if you did not inform your customers that the shoes were fakes.
It's due to corporate lobbying, about 25 years ago, that Copyright/trademark law also entered the criminal codes in the US & later elseware.
Its USA meddling (for example, CIA coups against popular govts in Iran 'n Iran back in the 50's & finally creating a country for a bunch of foreigners, European Jews, in the middle of the Middle East) that led directly to the WTC attack.
Afterall does Switzerland worry about such things as WTC, attacks? No because the Arab Street doesn't give a fuck either way about Switzerland, & why is that? Because Switzerland doesn't meddle in their affairs.
For the hundreth time, the US only creats problems for itself by meddling in the affairs of every other continent (look at Pearl Harbour).
Its ironic Americans go on about the potential problem of Chinese agression, but has China ever shown any inclination to meddle outside of Asia.
Gez the US could halVE their defence budget overnight if they simply just kept their meddling to North America. Afterall if the US kept all their troops/military facilities at home, the only countries that could ever attack the US would be Mexico & Canada & I don't see that happening.
The fact is that US meddling is what turned the Arab street against the US, just as it turned Japan against the US.
Apple just purchased Claris & renamed ClarisWorks (avaliable for Win & Mac, if you purchased it you got both ports on the same CD, pity MS doesn't do that) AppleWorks
The team that was behind ClarisWorks then created Gobe Productive for BeOS, & just recently Windows & Linux too.
I wonder how similar Gobe Productive for Windows is to the current version of AppleWorks for Windows?
Chassis, drivetrain, suspension & body are all different
People think the Holden platform is the same as the large RWD Opel platform, but its not, other than evolving from similar (though not exactly the same) structial & body DNA some 25 years ago.
SWB & LWB Holdens are both much longer than the Opels & have a much wider track, IE the Monaro is a full 5 adult seater. Has a Macpherson strut/rack 'n pinion front end (the Opel has a steering box) & a multi-link semi-trailing arm IRS at the back. Comes with a choice of normally aspirated Buick 3.8L V6, Turbo 3.8L V6, Chevy GenIII 350 V8, or a HSV Callaway V8. & a Choice of TH700 4 speed auto, Getrag 5 speed manual or a Tremec T56 6 speed.
SWB (which, as previously mention, is still longer the LWB Opel) is avaliable as sedan & coupe (Monaro). LWB is avaliable as (up market) sedan, station wagon, Ute (Oz speak for car-based pickup, its short for 'utilty') & panel van. VLWB (2 feet extra is inserted into the wheelbase) is only avaliable for the Ute & van.
All are exactly the same from the B-pillar forward (except for the Monaro coupe which is the same as the others from the windscreen forward), except that the up market LWB sedans get a fancy grill.
By this time next year you'll see Australian Holden Monaros re-badged as Ponitiac GTOs for sale in the US, while you'll also see Holden Utes rebadged as El Caminos for sale there too.
All because the US dollar is so high that such imports are more viable than making those cars locally.
Especially once exchange rates are taken into account
It's that simple, imagine, people getting paid anywhere between US$50,000 & millions to buggerise arround on computers half the day & gossip the other half of the day.
I wonder what percentage of that input actually produces anything of substance. I'd say less than 5%
Lets face it the average Mexican fruitpicker in California is more productive than the average Californian IT worker.
Really I don't see any justification for the average IT worker in the US earning more than double the US minimum wage. Even then IMAO they are only getting that extra over the minimum wage, as compo for wasting their time for studying such as unproductive stuff at college for 4 years, or whatever.
Maybe its about time they realised that the.com & Y2K scams have come their course & the boom days are over.
Or they could simply deflate the inflated US$, which more than anything else is killing US competitiveness.

Remember the fixed costs in the utilities industry are about about the highest you can get.

Ones made now are all PAL, NTCS & SECAM compatible - its simply better economies of scale on the production side & simpler warehousing/distribution setups.
all tellies & VCRs made today are designed to automatically compatible with PAL, SECAM & NTSC.
It's simple cheaper as far as economies of scale on the production line. & its been like that for nearly 10 years.
Just off the top of my head I think both Corel Linux & Redmund Linux/Lycoris use Caldera's Lizard installer as the basis of their installer.
for Linux too.
lets face it for many years Caldera had the best Linux installer.
People have cottoned on to the fact that web businesses are just thin-air scams, even if the people involved are still conning themselves.
lets be honest directors want to drag this out till there isn't one sent left
As they want to suck out their cut from every cent spent.

My card will ouput the same image to its VGA & TV ouputs at the same time.
Surelly simply by connecting the S-video output to a VCR while playing quake through the monitor should do the trick.
I heard some sites used to fill up their backrounds with words that had a font the same colour as the background.
