Anyway this article sounds unbelievable, communities here in Scandinavia and Finland are building these private fiber networks without intervention. Reason isnt the same, here big companies simply do not have money to build fiber networks everywhere. Municipalities who want them make the investments themselves, no one is interfering that process. Uplink is bought from some ISP who has a fiber end near the network, ISPs here are happy to sell fast connections. From their view it has better profit margin and only few parts that need care. Selling the same amount of DSL lines gives many more problems since coppers, cpes and dslams are all failing sometimes.
No! Do not search for Nixie tubes on Ebay!:) Prices will skyrocket if only 0.01% of./ readers will build their own Nixie clock. AFAIK there are no known manufacturers left so what you get is few american nixie tubes (expensive) and some russian tubes which are sold in large quantities. Thank go I got my nixie tubes on last week. Ready made nixie clock costs apr. $300 and a kit is $100 without tubes
One "final answer" could be a LVM-style crypto filesystem from filebacked loop devices. You have a hard disk which has a perfectly normal looking filesystem (linux.iso files for example or something else big and free). All files are crypto containers which together form a large crypto device when your -real- root device is mounted and crypto programs started. If system like that goes to wrong hands you have plausible deniability (real filesystem, readable, just "broken" iso images, how strange?).
This topic has been discussed lately on loop-aes mailing list. Problem was how to get plausible deniability against lead-pipe attackers (goverment, criminals). Solutions are available.
Yes, I agree. Shalebridge Cradle was so intense that I had to check several times _where_ those noises were coming from - outside of my apartment or from the game? Time also passed like nothing, I checked clock at 8:40PM, next time I noticed the clock when it was midnight - I was still playing that one level. My first impression was a disappoinment when I got Thief 3. It made a unbelievable comeback just after first three or four levels. Story was good, just too bad Viktoria wasnt resurrected. I miss that female character, she was both evil and good. Well, perhaps on Thief 4 we will see her again. (and hopefully Garrett will get "something" back for his eye:)
It is quite funny to see that someone is actually worried when their favourite country (USA) is "losing" something when the actual amount of new innovations is growing. It feels like someone thinks that in science those "other" countries do not count when they make new innovations. Standard NIH case. I find it very hard to believe that USA or any other country is losing something important if those new innovations and patents are not made there. There is always the possibility that something really good doesnt get invented at all. Like the genetic research which I believe is legally limited in the U.S. So I think it is better to lose the dominance because this technophobic time is making research harder in many western countries.
DOOM III should support vehicles in all shapes (aircfaft, cars, bikes) and will have unbelieveably large terrain support.
I would like to know how small Doom III will be when compared to modern games? Size matters. Please take a look at this comparison if you wonder what I am talking about?
It is always nice to have updated graphics etc to shoebox shoot'em'ups but I don't think that Id Software or Valve are breaking any boundaries. They are just making sequels. IF you want something really big try WW2Online!
TELECOMMUNICATIONS: GASPARRI SIGNS WI-FI BILL FOR WIRELESS INTERNET
(AGI) - Rome, Italy, May 28 - The Communications Minister, Maurizio Gasparri, has signed a technical law on Wireless connection. The law, made up of eight articles, offers retailers the chance to supply access to the public through general authorization. "I am very satisfied with the results obtained," the Minister said in a statement, "because the regulation approved today will contribute to increasing competition in Italy in the Internet access market through the development of Wi-Fi. The strong technological potential that Wireless Lan brings provide a further opportunity for businesses in the sector and especially an advantage for Italians in general who will benefit from the new way to access internet on the broad band". Furthermore, Gaspari hopes that "this technological option will contribute to the reduction of the digital divide, the technological discrimination between areas that are technologically more or less advanced in the country".
The law offers the chance to install networks like Radio LAN to supply the public with access to electronic communication services on a band with frequency of 2.4 to 5 GHZ by a simple authorization. Retailers who intend to offer the public Wi-fi services must present the Communications Ministry with a request to that effect which gives rights to the retailer to set up the service immediately, while respecting the conditions indicated in the decree.
The authorized subjects must respect the technical operating rules for use on 2.5 and 5 GHZ bands from the National Frequency Distribution Plan and so, must not cause interference with other services and use the broadcast power allowed. This because the frequencies used are collective and not assigned to each operator exclusively, as the mobile telephone system is.
The decree also defines the use of Wi-fi equipment for the public: spots open to the public and areas with high public attendance. Among the chosen places for the use of wi-fi there are hotels, bars, restaurants, malls and fast food chains where people can have the chance to connect to the Internet with broad band wireless access.
The decree also requires respect for rules on security and integrity of networks. It asks the retailers to use an identification code for users who access the public network. The installation of the Wi-fi network should be set up in line with the principle of non-discrimination between the Radio LAN system and the other competing technology". (AGI)

Well, I think your information is outdated:
Your laws have been changed
