though Indirect succession. Singapore also supports regime in Myanmar (Burma). They usually site racial tensions between Malay, Indian and ruling Chinese class as reason for continuing the dictatorship. "Elections" are held for appearances sake, but while I was living there they seized assets of any opposition politician that looked like they would come close to winning a seat, usually on phony charges like "libel" or such. If some area did manage to elect a representative not approved by the state, then that neighborhood basically kisses goodbye to certain public services, infrastructure upgrades (like MRT tube stations etc). Like withholding rice in neighbouring Indonesia, but for a modern country.
Why would Australia, already with very limited high cost bandwidth to the rest of the world, bother building out cable to the small remote isolated island of Guam?
Perhaps the US government is limiting not only it's internal filtering system to Only 50 Gateways, but is out to channel the rest of the world through Echelons as well
Further information published by the US Air Force identifies the US Naval Security Group Station at Sabana Seca, Puerto Rico as a COMSAT interception site. Its mission is "to become the premier satellite communications processing and analysis field station". These and further documents concerning Echelon and COMSAT interception stations at Yakima, Sabana Seco (Puerto Rico), Misawa (Japan) and Guam have been published on the web.[20]
We have been getting an increasing number of sophisticated and targeted cyber attacks against all our servers, dating back to 2002 and earlier as well, including email content specific to our business to slip in under the radar. Its NORMAL - attacks evolve, defenses evolve. Statistically show us how these particular communities are getting something unusual Vs every other visible server/community hooked up to the internet and you *might* have a story. If not, then this just reeks of more drum beating propaganda - building a case and justify upcoming anti-anonymity, anti hack tools, and all other manner of nasty anti-internet laws you can think of... to protect us of course.
And if your going to reply about how bad China is and Tibet's suffering - don't bother you have missed the point... its not about Tibet/China.
This has been dressed up to sound oh-so-sweet and only of good intention, but has a dark ulterior motive... Simply, the industry does not want those smaller television programmers to turn to other distribution channels, say, oh, like the internet.
So now some think they are oh-so-smart-arsed think tank in an act of preventative-desperation has concocted up a spate of new FCC regulations out of the blue after decades of profiteering, to try save their doomed industry from their own greed. Well fuck them... Expensive media of poor quality pumped one way over a cable is a so last century. Its time for this stuffed full fat couch potato of an industry to roll over, and what we see here is just its death throws...
The Chinese Gov is not responding to a few "deaths from unhealthily dedicated gamers" as many news sources are reporting with the tone that this is a "good idea". This is such a thin cover story its laughable. Unreported yet estimated to be large numbers (http://hazards.org.master.com/texis/master/search /mysite.html?q=china&submit=+Search+Hazards) of Chinese routinely die/maimed/disappear from very poor to zero work related safety precautions, with local courts routinely ruling against the victims and their families because awarding for better conditions/compensation "restricts Chinas progress".
This news story is simply an ongoing restriction to information/Internet policy with a very thin disguise - anybody reporting it otherwise is being uninformed or perhaps is gunning for a similar policy locally.
This has happened to my accounts, *twice*. TDAmeritrade and Interactive Brokers have both compromised my one off email addresses for their systems to stock touts - not once, but TWICE. I changed the two one off email's in their systems after noticing the stock tout scum spam scams, only to have the two newly generated emails compromised yet again within weeks. I ask, what other information have they sold/stolen??? These clowns are protecting my life's savings in brokerage accounts, but can't even keep my email account locked down?! Try complain - I did... what a farce. Wasted my breath and insult to my intelligence the complaint process was...

MS is not doing anything it hasn't already repeatedly done to an uncountable number of small developers: rolled good ideas into the OS. So now the practice is going to hurt some of the bigger players in the pond: but the trend was set for this almost from the beginning.
On the positive side this may help encourage more of the larger software companies to step up their alternative OS/Linux system development and help migrate some % of their users away from MS. A small hedge against becoming completely obsolete...
COALITION FORCES ENTER THE MEGELLANIC Allied forces put an end to the continued Magellanic resistance to peace keeping troops in the Middle Magellanic, a million years ago. "Once again the significant investment in Deathstar technology is proving itself in the field." a coalition spokesperson told GNN.
Coalition commanders in the Magellanic say their troops are still meeting some resistance but it is very patchy. "We have struck a devastating blow to their terror network. The ability of their terror cells to function have been severely limited, now they have no nuclear-terror storage facility." quoted one high ranking commander.
A Milky way journalist who has visited 1987A say resident worlds there told him they were prepared to surrender to advancing Coalition forces, rather than lose their nuclear energy reserves (the sun).
A journalist from the Earth Solar System news agency EFP said a tribal world leader near 1987A told him to convey a request to the Coalition troops to stop blowing up suns and allow local leaders time to negotiate the surrender of Magereenic fighters still loyal to Zaphod.
UGS marines are reported to be fighting Magellanic forces, including Y fighters, on the southern outskirts of SK-69, about 140 light years (822,444,234,277,022.1 miles) north of 1987A. SK-69, once the pleasure capital of the Magellanic , is believed to be a possible remaining stronghold of Zaphods's regime and there has been speculation that troops loyal to the deposed leader might be planning a last stand there.
A Milky Way journalist with the UGS forces told GNN: "It's a very, very significant attack. They've brought forward a great number of Vipra assault X wings and the Deathstar (large round peace keeping spaceship) is in orbit."
Helium 3 and Gigarod mining operations and new mining construction in nearby worlds has been unaffected by the latest fighting.

I have used Hotmail for years for communication with "untrusted" sources. In the last 3 months I was forced, regretfully, to let the account die... Hotmail-Microsoft had begun to allow "legal" spam through to the hotmail account. Week after week, the same spam messages over and again was forcing me to check the account. Marking the emails as spam had no effect, I would get the exact same message the next day-week-month, same email address and all.
I complained, and was told I could use filters for those un-markable spam items. Yeah, right.
Advantages to MS for letting "authorized" spam through - They get paid, probably very well, to send spam to all hotmail accounts. - They increase page impressions and advertising revenue forcing hotmail users to check the site when notified of waiting emails.
A Great Idea(TM), something an Accountant more than likely worked out, looks oh-so-great on paper, congratulations.
What they cannot measure is how pissed off I got, and in the end abandoned their system permanently, advising all clients, friends, relatives to use another service for their web based email address. (I have had no such problems of ausorized spam with Yahoo/Gmail... yet).
My conclusion, MS does not give a rats arse about how much spam we are forced to look at... they just want to be on the spam generated profit gravy train via "legalized" spam, and don't want freeloaders competing with them to deliver it.
I see Maritius is trying to encourage startups to move there. What is the policy on software patents in Maritius ? Can find no info on the giv websites.
