Not everyone has a contingency plan for being hit by 2 million people wanting to view your page at the same time on the same day consuming in excess of 400GB of TX Bandwidth.
I can sure as hell admit I couldnt cope with it, hell even my dedicated server probably couldnt even cope with the/. effect and that can handle 5MB/s
im just wondering what the reliability would be, would things "ping out" or people get disconnected if they were not quick enough to launch another balloon? I think relibility is a big thing and with weather being incredibly unpredictable there could be major problems to overcome, balloons going off course, colliding with objects already in the sky. Its a good idea if we could predict with great accuracy the direction in which objects will travel and where they will fall (what goes up must come down), and with over 51,000 launches a year they may need to setup a "balloon traffic control center" just to keep a tag on them all.
here here - im all for that, RTF is the way to go, I cant stand it when i get an e-mail and have to spend 20 seconds opening it because its SPAM and is downloading most of its advertisement from the internet.
Ive not once had a piece of useful html e-mail and I doubt I ever will!!

PayPal Goes Public

· Score: 3, Interesting
Maybe this is the start of another internet boom, it seems after the marketing lows of the internet where companies were failing constantly after 6 months in action the tides are turning.
The companies that have entered into business on the internet, such as paypal with a sound business idea are now starting to get the rewards they deserve.
I'd tend to agree on abolishing many of the copyrights, IP, etc... on the internet, but the fact still remains that someone somewhere must be paid for something to be developed or innovated and that particular person/company will want people to know and maybe even pay for something that has taken them so much time to develop.
Think about the music industry, if someone said, OK you can copy the music as much as you like then the recording industry would simply stop releasing music, then there would be nothing to copy!
maybe im on completely the wrong track here, but the way id understand this particular article is that everything should be free, I just dont know if that could be, as i said, someone somewhere has to foot the bill to pay someones wages to develop whatever is being trade marked.
just an example, ive heared it happen alot, maybe its just the type of people I talk to:-0
Maybe I should have made a cleaner example, something like:
The only kind of data they are going to intercept is someone talking about what they plan on getting the next time they go to McDonalds (Mmmm Large Fries, BigMac) brb:p
This is maybe why so many governments have opposed any kind of encryption standard, they hate 3DES, they hate Blowfish, they hate PGP, etc... simply because their programs that they use simply havent got the power to track all activity AND to spend a very long time decrypting encrypted data.
Id personally agree with what other people have said here about this tracking activity being pointless, since anyone with data they even remotely care about protecting from prying eyes will have it encypted several times before it goes anywhere near the internet.
The only kind of data they are going to intercept is some guy having an affair with his wife...
when i had my amiga 600 - booted from floppy into my gui (workbench)
then i spent about £200 ($300) on my 40MB hard disk - i was in awe - i installed the OS to hard disk, and booted from HD - once again my jaw dropped.
at about this time i just had to get my memory upgrade, i think i remember it being a 1MB upgrade, wow, it was great, i made a 1MB ram drive with it when i needed to.
im too excited,/me goes out to buy AmigaOS to remember the good old days.
