Seriously,sir,do we really need High Definition Television.IMHO taking into account the stuff that's on air,what we really need is a very Low definition tv.
Count in Britney Boobs and company,and a low fidelity sound system is an absolute necessity.

in India I'm sure they don't have the US rights the US people all love and enjoy, so the Indians are going to just have to deal with it.
All i would say dear sir is that It would be better if you were to read the Indian Constitution and the Indian Penal Code.

With Die Sizes going down and transistor count reaching stratosphere,When does the heat become unmanageble??
I use win98SE & W2K and have no intention of moving.
I use V studio 6 for my developemnt and i am not changing them either.
the same's true for most of the people i know.The
truth is after giving us crappy things M$ gave us W2K,a very decent OS,so its a case of settling for the satisfactory.
I guess Mr.Katz,atleast by his writing style can go work for the big newspapers.He has the same gift as th big boys opf making a 2 sentence thing last all the way to a 2000 word article.
The doomsday scenario isnt very applicable.If things become too bad,ppl in US can emigrate.Yes thats right get outta there to scandinavia,austarlia whatever.
Do you thing after a certain point Joe schumk wouldn't notice and do something abt his/her dwindling rights?
To prevent losing/wasting time over the implementation of this project i think US should contact the government of PRC and officials of former Soviet Union.I am sure they should be able to tell you how to set up such a system and identify every citizen to catch
terrorists/counter-revolutionaries/running dogs of imperialists(my fav BTW:))
PS& OTT:Not a flamebait but how exactly do thinking and educated americans take the fact that taliban and their ilk were described about 10 -15 years ago as "freedom fighters" morally equivalent to the founding fathers of US?
This is simply a rehash of earlier dreams,no Day Dreams.Keep in Mind that space launch is an expensive business and more importantly MicroWave Beams arent exactly benign.

Yes Good news But kindly dont be too happy...news from the black labs of intel is that they are going full steam to make sure the new pentiums evaporate these johnny come lately heat conductors or whatever those idiot/.ies call them.

I am seriously and truly amazed that teens in US have NO information about the history of computing.I assume that there are computing classes from the very lowest of grades so isnt a bsic introduction to the entire gamut of computing given.
it's unbelievable that there exist youth in US without elementary knowledge of what computing in specific and world in general are all about..well atleast that's what i gathered from the article.
Is the Patent Office not supposed to examine a patent before issuing it.I am sure the USPO employs a number of people who are fairly conversant with Computing Technologies,is it that they now need people who can understand ENGLISH??
This is a point i make often and this instance is no other,the Fact is that People Forget that outside US (include Canada in the tag pls)these anti Common Man things wouldnt simply work.
Stop worrying and in a few years time just like the cryptography thingy these restrictions will go away when they are found harming US interests.
You ask me how??Well here's How:
Imagine a major European/Asian Label which:
1.Gives the artists it contracts Better % of revenue.
2.Provides its customers with no fancy works,just workd CD's etc.
3.Reduce its margins to realistic levels and make CD's cheap enough so that ppl dont mind buying one just for a few songs(i am assuming that some people will continue to pirate--But most wont)
isnt it possible that you US guys will order more and more of your CD's over the net from these guys?
Nope Mate,Actually all CMOS ram retains a shadow or imprint of the data on it, which fades with time but doesnt disappear suddenly.I am not sue about the time but i guess data MIGHT be recovered from one.
This had to happen sooner or later.Earlier when the only mass media was paper Journals took your views around to your peers and lets face the facts its peer recognition that a researcher craves most,economic advantages coming a distinct second.More than anything its the joy of sharing that propels us to do economically stupid things.
Case in point Project Gutenberg that typifies our new homogeneous,global community.I say three cheers for the pioneers!!!!
As an aside,Project Gutenberg has to be THE example of benefits of the Internet.I just wish they could speed up Wodehouse's transcription:)
I think ALL of teh Posters have missed an importanr point.These restrictions will be only in the continent of North America(US,CANADA and Mexico maybe due to NAFTA).
The reasons:
1.IN EUROPE:
The EU takes privacy,customer rights and other little man issues very seriously.Case in point the absolutely tight Personal Data laws.I mean it's ridiculous that in the us a company can *own* YOUR personal information.
They are also massively anti big company who push their way through.Why?Because the grass roots participation of Europeans is very high and they take deep interesrt in any issue affecting them again in contrast to US.
Also sice this fight is led by Recording and Movie industry it puts the back up of most anti
american culture types.
Lastly,Technology is a very very important economic sector and the EU is unlikely to stifle choices and make protocols proprietary.
2.Rest of the World:
Taiwan,India,South Korea are in no mood to bind their tech sectors to some foreign companies' interest.In India any such "appeasing" of foreign companies shall be the death knell of govt.Another important factor is that geeks:) in india enjoy quite an amount of public ear and it's normally assumed that geeks right,Huge Big Corporation greedy pigs....
3.WTO:
unlike in the past when anyone displeasing the US could get hit by Super 301.Now of cource there is WTO....Which can and has given rulings against US.
I would assume that WTO is unlikely to permit such an imposition on other member countries when it shall be opposed by all but US and Canada.
TO CONCLUDE:
Even if Americans are unsuccesful in preventing another rape of their constitution,the rest of the world doesnt have much to fear yet....
With a billion + Transistors,what will be the heat resistances and what sort of cooling will be required?Can anyone throw a few numbers.
I suppose we shall move back to boiling N2 of cray fame...

At speeds that these guys ride on even after taking due cautions What magnitute of injury can rider suffer in a crash?
Also i rememember reading somewhere that in the Tour De France while riding downhill riders approach 100++kms and they have at that speed nothing but their skills to count on for brakes at that speeds tend to Jam.Can anybody enlighten....

i think the writers most widely to be read are humorists such as PG wodeHouse,PJ o'Rourke et al.
and Mystery writers such as agatha christie etc.
Contemprary "popular" writers often vanish without a trace

Since Internet is a unique entity,i should really like to know the international repurcussions of the same.
Suppose a company based in Germany sells something to someone in US,who pays what to whom(tax i mean)?
the other way around,Us company and singaporean customer?
any body?
