I may be wrong, but I seem to recall that the importing of brain power from India has been going on for several years. However the exporting of work to India only started recently. Once more organizations export their work to India the flow of people coming from India will decrease, as they won't have to leave their country to find work.
So, even if this does go through and we do get a.mail TLD that is for only registerd mail servers. What happens when both companies/people owning the domains x.com and x.net suddenly want to get their x.mail domain to send mail. Who gets it? Maybe they're assuming people will opt for x.com.mail and x.net.mail. But that seems really annoying.
Massive Multiplayer games will suffer from lack of direction and aimless wonderings. It will basically turn into a huge graphical mud where end goals are side stepped and interaction (Fighting, talking to, making fun of, etc) with other members of the game are held in higher regard.
This to me would defeat the purpose of a game. If I wanted to interact with people in a meaningless way I would just wonder around outside for a few hours.
Might as well create a game called life and let everybody join. Provide an empty enfironment and let people wonder around. That's what would end up happening anyways.
Actually, with Einstein's relativity, doesn't Ptolemy's theories hold true? Everything is relative to a point of view?
Ptolemy's theories do not hold true. Ptolemy said that the motions of the planets can be explained by moving them through a perfect circle around the earth. Then when this did not satisfy the observations he added perfectly circular orbits around the original orbit. In otherwords as mars moves in a perfect circle around an imaginary point that orbits around the earth, both orbits in perfect circles.
Enistein sinply stated that an observer A in one location seeing another observer B move in another location cannot tell if it is observer A moving or observer B moving. If and only if the motion is constant and not accelerating or decelerating.
The two therories don't relaly have much to do with each other. Except that Einstein's theory re-inforces gravity which re-inforces the solar centered solar system view and not the geocentric view Ptolmey had.
Yes but the real question is....

Do they get to eat power pellets, and then chase after (and eat) those ghosts!
According to the article, 70 million dollars was generated with the Candanian levy. I would be willing to bet that none of that money went to any artist.
Yes but the money the RIAA hopes to collect by suing p2p users won't end up in the pockets of the artitst. In the end it will always be the artists making the music that get screwed the most.
I believe that if you buy a CD in a jewel case you must pay the extra $0.77. However if you just buy spindels then you don't pay the levy. The logic being that if you were to copy a CD you'd want the case to go with it.
Ximian had indicated on their site for the past year and a half that they would support Deibian Woody once they released version 2.0 of their Ximian Desktop. Suddenly as of a week or so ago, they have pulled that FAQ item and changed their story to indicate that they won't be supporting Debian anymore.
On another note according to the Ximian Users list Ximian does not plan on providing support for Debian at all, and a group of Spanish developers is going to be releasing the debian distribution separately. (But they are still looking for people to help)
If the Chinese government is concerned about security how is allowing only the government to view the source going to help. I thought one of the big advantages of real Open Source was the hundreds and possibly thousands of little minions all trying to make things break and find weaknesses from around the world. I don't see how what MS is doing is going to help out at all.

That's simply because the programmers for Hotbot decided to go with the useragent that the browswer supplies and assumes that Mozilla doesn't exist. If you get the Mozilla User Agent Override sidebar from http://mozilla-evangelism.bclary.com/sidebar s/ this should allow you to set your browser to look like it's an IE browser, make your selection and then reset your UA string. I did this and set my preference to be text only. Works just fine.
All I have to say is that I would prefere a car that had a solid link between the steering wheel and the wheels.. and a solid link between the brakes and the brake pedal.
The last think I would want is to be cruising along, have the power systems fail on my car, or malfunction, and kareen into a wall at 100 Km/h just because the drive by wire system wasn't working properly. At least with solid mechanics there its a little less likely that they'll fail.

Sum up as "IIS 5 is faster than Linux for SpecWeb99"
This is just FUD. The link they point to seems to agree with their assertion but how about this link instead [spec.org]. It sure seems to tell a different story on identically configured hardware.
I'm glad to see other people noticing this. It's completly not fair to judge software running on different systems. It's even worse to use software that isn't the most popular. Zeus web from my understanding is not even close to as popular as say Apache. This just goes to show you that you can come up with specs that say whatever you want as long as conditions are setup to your liking.
You say force, but you realize that you are dealing with the internet right? There is no such thing as forcing anybody to do anything? And who's going to manage this? And if you find someone to manage it who's going to pay for it? this would have to be agreeded upon world wide before anything could really be done anyways!
If people are so concerned with their children accessing porn then don't let them have access to the internet unsupervised!
There is also the issue of newsgroups and other such types of internet medium, are we going to police everything?
The unfortunate part of this is that AOL users will complain, not to the companies designing the websites but to AOL. This could cause AOL to cease use of Mozilla as a browser all together and wash their hands of the whole endevor
instead of having three one price fits all categories why not just graduate the billing and state that you pay x dollars per gigabyte downloaded. Work it similar to a gas bill or water bill you pay a nomnal fee for the service and then a usage charge on top of that. That way the more you use the more you pay. Also with this kind of billing I certainly hope that they'll allow for servers to be run off of this service.
I find it interesting that there are tests and benchmarks being performed on Mozilla and other Gecko based browsers when Mozilla still contains a large quantity of Debugging code. I'm sure that once a final realse is issued the majority of this will be removed and the browser will perform better.

I'm wondering how it is possible to one day say that you think people should be running windows as a desktop operating system one week, and a couple of weeks later be part of the Group pushing for linux on the desktip?
