The Spanish(.es) solution to domain names isn't very good.
"Only the following regular domain names will be assigned:
a) The full organisation name as it appears in its deed or constitution document.
b) An acronym of the full name of the organisation qualified...
c) One or more trade names or legally registered trademarks as they appear in the register of the Spanish Office..."
Complete text can be found here.
There aren't discusion about domains.
But there isn't any freedom.
If I want to register the domain "YearOfTheDragon.ES" I need to get the Trademark.
Do it Happens in other countries?
And I'm sure that CIA is not planing to get information only about Americans but about any person in the world that get caught in his net.
Even worst: "Unlike information on US citizens, which officially cannot be kept longer than a year, information on foreigners can he held without time limit."
So Echelon is a WWP not only USA.
"Ellison has followed through with his threat, I mean promise,"
What's so bad with that?
Control isn't bad itself.
If I put a Troll or an Off-topic I get a -1 and if I put an interesting comment
I get a plus.
That's control, and is good. Moderation is used very bad sometimes. But the goal is fine.
What matters is not that the CIA has that information, but what does with it.
"The specifications for the Rijndael algorithm have now been formally incorporated into Federal Information Processing Standard 197."
I don't think that such an algorithm can be secure and have backdoors.
"also is completing arrangements so that vendors can have their implementations of AES validated under the Cryptographic Module Validation Program, jointly led by NIST and the Government of Canada's Communications Security Establishment"
Cryptographic Module Validation Program is going to put that Backdoors?
Not if it's your implementation and your company name.(Or is going to pay a lot of money)
"They have agreed that their algorithm may be used without royalty fees.
So can be done under the GNU/GPL.
Can be read "Ford, MS to offer build-it-yourself cars
" in this news
If Microsoft can join Ford, why GM can't join Aol?
But what if General Motors Were Like Microsoft?
Head Mondoshawan: Time not important...only life important (Fifth Element)
If the Debian developers think that this is a cool idea you can help or not. But don't blame they for his effort.
As soon as the video demands increase, or as soon as the power of these devices rise, Nancy will be obsolete.
That's true. But isn't that what happens with all technology?
You can't blame 8086 because was powerless compared to a Cray.
Each device has his marked and Nancy/Cell phones can get one.
People is going to use cell phones video conference and then, not now, is going to need improved displays and high-quality video.
Nancy is not just a stop-gap solution, Nancy is a good solution to cell phone video if is as good as Koichi Kato said.
I read slashdot since a year ago.
And I think that is poor open minded to foreign posters.
If you want to correct my sentences it's ok, but if you try to know from what country I'm only reading me, you have a worse problem that I and my english.
I have readed the GPL, and in my country Free (Libre) and Free (Gratis) is writed with diferent words.
Why english has the same word for Libre and Gratis?
May be because you can buy and sell freedom.
It's luky that not all/. users are like you.
I'm from Spain. We use Cisco routers, we use Micro$oft and Linux and have problems like Americans, but it's true than we don't talk english.
I has to apologize for that?
Why so smart people never gets profit of they work?
I think that the problem is not why they don't get profit. But why so many companies care more for patent an invention than to make it work better.
No body has readed the GPL/GNU license?
the better memes (more interesting sites) survive
But what happened with a good meme that is never read by a "good" reader?
Cocacola.com has his audience despite the fact that has no content because they have money.
Each content need his audience, but not always audicen and content meet.
A PC like machine is easy to upgrade, but everybody knows that upgrades in the game console world are not a very good idea.
SEGA MegaCD and 32X Megadrive upgrades were a waste of time and effort.
What is going to happen with something as easy as change a 10Gb HD with a 80Gb?
Is going Microsoft to be caught by the temptation of the upgrades?
I don't think so. Microsoft is very kind with the history and changes of the markets where wants a monoply.
And X-Box II is sure under development.
This is like the works of Russian photographer Sergei Prokudin-Gorskii (1863-1944), as i remember from an old post in Slashdot.
The wheel turns again.;)

Not only americans are observed by Echelon.
US wins Spain's favour with offer to share spy network material
ETA (a terrorist group from Spain) is one of the tarjets of Echelon.

For the many /.ers who:
a. Use Outlook secretly
b. Receive loads of USA spam
c. Don't know english
d. Don't have any english/USA friends
This Outlook rule is for you!
Apply this rule after the message arrives with
free or better or buy in the subject or body
delete it
and stop processing more rules.
Why in USA free = 'Libre' and Free = 'Gratis'.
May be because in USA freedom is Money.
