...free speech, protect our rights and the war protests at the UW. Ii sort of saddens me to see the management, who must have been in those protests, now lookig for the easy way out. How times have changed.
Region codes are not a problem -- I have two DVD Players (cost $50 each). One is set for region 1 and one is set for region 2. Region codes were a problem when the DVD players were expensive.
My company, a small airplane manufacturer in the Pacific Northwest, just a stones throw from Redmond has made Netscape 4.7 the official company standard. So that is what I use at work -- at home it is a different story. This airplane company, with 197,000 employees are required to use Netscape. They are alo required to use Windows 2000 and Microsoft Office for documents. Some times I just wonder if the real reason for using standards is because there are so many to choose from.
I try to use what works best for the job at hand. Browsing is quite trival and most any browser will render a page to view, so what does it matter? Netscape, Mozilla, IE, or any other one seems to work with most pages, those pages that don't work with the browser I am using at the moment are ones I skip over.
Our Government (the US Federal Secretary of State) has strict Export Compliance Laws that restrict the export of items that could have dual usage. Items such as high powered computers and software that could be used in development of military applications. A web search using ITAR will reveal some of the restrictions. Some countries are specifically restricted from receiving any technical products or information. Companies that have such products or information can be held in violation on the Export Compliance law and fined quite heavily.

You know -- 10 seconds to the minute, 10 minutes to the hour and 10 hours to the day.
Is it just me or did the Beta Google Mail just quit working? Coincidence?

We used to call it sneeker net (running around with 9 track tapes in our tennis shoes from system to system with updates).
