I really doubt they can make another "world wide web". In the best case, they can make a country-wide network not linked to "the internet" we all know. That is unless some greede american companies choose to wire themselves to this alternate network.
Technically speaking, any country can choose to detach from the Internet an any time.
In fact, I bet many organizations and countries have been doing this for years with no hype and/or concerned posts on technical forums ever.
Freedom of speech does not equals Freedom, it's just a part of it.
I don't consider the USA (there are other countries named US) to be a prime example of freedom. Whenever I go to the US I always notice all these little rules you have for everything, that only makes people confined to a "social jail" and whoever defies these unspoken laws doing things differently, is devalued.
First of all, have some formal project management training, at lest to get the basics. With this, you will be able to come up with a simple methodology for project requests/paycback/negotiation/scope/development/te sting/release. Then work your way down putting measurable controls where needed on each step of the process.
I have done what you are doing now, and these where the first steps I took when facing a lot of teams with a lot of possibilities on "this is how we run a project" ways to do things.
Exactly. And for those who say we still need a "higher" level in order to solve inter-country refereces, here's an idea:
If each TLD server has a list of all other TLD server addresses, it would be a matter of simply referr any external request to whatever TLD server is responsible for it to solve. These servers can be updated even manually, with each "new country" publishing the address of its server.
There is no need for a top level domain above.nn, only servers that are updated correctly. After all, how many.nn domains are created every day?
You know, I'm sick and tired of these guys trying to squeeze money out of everybody.
I have an idea: Let them do whatever they want, put any law they want and prosecute whoever they want. I'm sure they'll start opening their holes (yes, even _that_ one) for us once they see the huge decrease in earnings when the other 99.9999% people in the WORLD rejects these clowns and their practices.
I for one, like to buy/use quality products/formats for what they offer, not because I'm TOLD to/not to do it. And if I ever want any, there's always a workaround. We've been buying chinese stuff for years, any ways.
So, no movies at home except on cinema, no music recording except for bootlegs, and having to resort on garage-tech to "get what you need".
This being slashdot, one would think most posts would be to celebrate a small (and delicious) victory over M$, but instead, we get typical gringo attitude of making fun from a small country.
We know M$ gets aways with all sort of things, so EVEN if this guy is taking advantage of software patents and is intentions are bad, he WON against the proverbial 800-pound gorilla. That's something to CELEBRATE. It tells all those little guys somewhere, that there's hope on their processes. Yes, you CAN beat a giant at their own game.
So, the most amazing thing of this thread is the clarity which one can verify that your ego/nationalist pride is stronger than your philosophical principles, confirming one more time the "typical american" stereotype.
To all of you that bashed M$ on previous posts and bashed (even worst: made fun of) this guy today. Shame on you.
Actually, that was it. Finding software for the TS on those days was almost impossible for us living outside of the US, so we tried to "backup" the tapes using regular audio tape to tape methods, but somewhere in time tapes started to come up "protected" and couldn't be copied that easily.
After taking many tries to backup the Frogger game, I remembered the CPU frequency was in the range of the short-wave receiver on my boombox, and it kind of sounded pretty much like the program tapes. So I said "what the heck" and recorded the CPU sound while loading the original tape.
To my surprise, the backup tape worked perfectly:-) that method proved to be more reliable than anything else to backup tapes.
I used to drool for hours looking at the TS ads before my dad went to the US and bring me not one, but TWO!! (it's a bargain! just $99!! keep one, sell the other!)
That little black thing taugth me to program. I even did some z80 assembler before jumping to the all-mighty C64.
Those memories and feelings are with me forever...

It's about taste.
On a larger scale, one could say the same about AOE and the liquidation of entire civilizations.
The customer that buys an XPS is usually knowledgable enough to build the system themselves, at a far lower cost.
I got King Kong SE DVD (2 discs) for $10 USD a few weeks ago at Wal-Mart in Mexico.
Universal Studios is promoting "affordable releases" here and I believe it is a step in the right direction. I for one will support this schema.
Kudos to them.
I used to get answers for all my life-changing questions from it!

Blames bad parenting on VIDEO GAMES?????
To the citizens of the USA: STOP! count to ten! You're loosing track of reality and common sense!

Use top to bottom approach:

Welcome back, 70s !!
Here's a link to the full color VIIV logo.
Then it might get interesting...
Of that other guy who used to sell expensive pictures of soup cans... what was the name?
:-)
I think he's famous for being at the Amiga introduction party.

If I remember correctly, DVD was already an established format when home-made copies of TV shows started to appear on the warez scene in big volumes.
I think they noticed the demand and figure there was a whole new market and extra money from they dust-collecting series and released them on DVD.
Not a bad byproduct from a "bunch of thiefs stealing money from hard working creative minds".
