It caused many of its most educated and skilled to flee.. Are you making a parallel to the current outsourcing to India?:-)
But the WORLD and its ideas and economic vitality will just route itself around (US, or other) censorship... don't you think?..as in; USA tries to take control of the DNS root file, Europe creates it's own DNS and routes around possible "dropouts". China has closed their Internet borders from the rest of the world, so as to "protect" the general population from western ideas. I woun't even comment on the Chineese view on Intellectual Property.. oh, I did..:-)
Like the recent attack in London, an attack in Disney World would be an "inside job".. whith the rest of the character-community condemming the actions of one fanatic member!.. am I being too morbid?
We plan what we have to do to comply with the local laws of each country.
Disney World, that is, Disney Land... Land, that's another word for "country", so we should comply with the local laws of this "Disney Land", they are all talking about, right?:-)
The fact that a private company can be allowed to collect fingerprints is both disturbing and sickening.
Now, that the US goverment has state it's intentions, some parts of the "World" might fall off the "Wide Web" if those parts does not share the same beliefs as the current or future goverments. Some people find that disturbing.
In times of war (comming or current) where information plays a greater and greater part news-sites pointing to misinformation sites because people that could be under political or echonomical pressure, have access to change the root DNS..
Maybe root DNS control should be handled by a totally neutral entity?
Having two or several root DNS servers where local DNS coorolate information from all (or trusted) sources could work?
A country couldn't drop out of "the world" because the their goverment don't approve of information found in the rest of the world... and somebody else couldn't remove a country from "the world" because of different points of views... Sanctions (a lot like echonomical sanctions) would be possible though..
I think the American decision to take full root DNS control has just opened the eyes of the rest of "the world".. and we will have a stronger WWW in the end.
Using Michigan as a guide the federal and state taxes are $0.446 per gallon, my Continental averages 22 mpg, and my Expedition averages 16. I use them roughly half and half, let's say 10,000 miles each per year.
In a little country called Denmark, something is rotten.. the taxes for car that goes 22 miles/gallon is around $500 every half a year (based on CO2 emision), gasoline is $5.90 a gallon and when you buy a car, the registration taxes are 180%. The effect of this heavy taxation makes a damn Suzuki an expensive car! Add insurance to the calculation and you have a very expensive death trap right there.. sigh.
You are right though, the market woun't take off before it absolutely have to... I for one sure as sh*t woun't buy a hydrogen powered SUV unless it's cheaper and more powerfull than "the real thing":-)
Slashdot Mirror
and law and order..
and the plumbing..
but besides that? What hat Microsoft ever given US?
Ignorance is bliss, as they say.
Before 1492, nobody in the civilized part of the world knew about America. Thus, it is possible to say that Columbus discover America.
Before "Windows", computers were toys (C64->Amiga) or business, education or research. Thus, it's possible to say that some Pioneering took place.
Before theese events, people didn't know better. That doesn't mean that better existed or exists now..
Credit where credit is due. This hurts to say, as I am definately more ~/ on unix..
All of the above..
As it so happens, the Vikings are having a meet this weekend:

Hey, there's a whole new legal reason for p2p networks - trading video clips of scenery.

oh, yeah! Finally the office projector can come to good use! What a nice big panorama window I suddenly have in my bunker!
I wonder if it would be possible to switch the lightsource of the projector with this sunlight fiber optics thing?
It caused many of its most educated and skilled to flee.. :-)

The world is already changing.
I am glad to live in Europe.

I wonder if it will work, though?

Evolution theory and Darwin is suffering too!

..that's why the operation is described here .. plans within plans
Do you buy your vehicles by test-driving a stolen one first to see if you like it?
Imagine buying a car on the basis on research you do in car magazines!
