I have a naive and maybe stoopid question : If ITU wants to grab the authority that IANA has now, how the hell are they going to enforce it ?
Root servers are not going to magically change overnight, and people in the US and Europe are certainly not going to switch to whatever the ITU decides, just because the ITU decides.
It would be nice for the ITU to remember that the Internet works because everybody agrees with it. If people start to disagree, it will only lead to a split in the internet, and I'm pretty sure the ITU fork will not be the winner, given the history of the slug.
This is the same law that creates a blacklist of sites that must be blocked by ISPs, the list being secret, created by the interior minister, no appeal, no review.... And they claim it will stop pedo-pornography. They DO know what they're doing, they're just lying as usual.
It has a very logical structure. Learning German might actually help you with maths.
Fields medal for Germany : 1
Fields medal for France : 9
Wolf prize for Germany : 2
Wolf prize for France : 5
Abel prize for Germany : 0

sure....
In contrast to the French, Germans are actually welcoming, friendly and understanding towards people you don't speak their language fluently.
Unfortunately, I have to concur on that (and I'm French). But learning ten or so words of french will get you a long way (that, and not being an obnoxious american tourist)
I never "got" why people fell all over themselves about GMail
I was like you, until I had to travel to places where internet access is NOT guarented to be good (namely China). My POP/IMAP accounts kept disconnecting because of timeout when retreiving mail. I now read my email through Gmail in these kind of places. I keep using claws for the rest of my email reading (read at home & work).
Long version:
This is were you loose. People are just NOT discerning, otherwise marketing people wouldn't be needed : the products would just be bought on their qualities. It just doesn't work.
This huge beast has been created because take off and landing time slots are full and more people need / want to travel. The other solution is to create more airports.
Any gains in CO2 emmissions are buried by 3rd world increases
Which means of course that we shouldn't do anything to keep OUR pollution down ? The Kyoto treaty was precisely thought out to let emerging countries improve their standard of living while not degrading the situation MORE than it already is.
This is already what you have : you have a general purpose CPU (Intel or AMD), graphics CPU (Nvidia or ATI), audio CPU, MPEG en/decoding, DSP, Vector,...
exclusive rights among third-party publishers to develop and market simulation, arcade and manager-style baseball video games
Can you explain me how MLB can forgive to make baseball games ? I understand that they can prevent using MLB brands, team, players,... but that doesn't prevent from doing baseball games. It's the same for football (or soccer as you call it on the other side), and Pro Evolution Soccer proves you can make successful games without the official license.
QuickTransit fully supports accelerated 3-D graphics and about 80 percent computational performance on the main processor. It requires no user intervention: It kicks in automatically when a non-native application is launched.
"80% computational performance" == "almost no performance hit", of course.
And I will start dancing on the moon tomorrow with "almost" no equipement.

So that there will be no Karjakin !

The book is not the religion. None of the three you noted actually live by the quote.

Hey, I can tie my shoes myself, probably even better than they do.
Which makes the whole ban thing even more stupid as it will impact performance as well as security.

Oh, you mean that it's a feature for no-life geeks. I forgot we're on slashdot.
Marketing has been going on for 100+ years and people still don't choose on merit.
Thanks, you just made my point.

grmbl, slash doesn't like UTF8 :( so that's 2 euros per file.
Answer to your questions : 1- about 2 per (music) file seems to be the load for the moment. 2- a handful. Definitely less that 20. HTH

From the guy that brought you exchange server and MS office closed format.
Well, it would have been better to write "228 AMERICAN patents", I'm not sure most of those would stand in China, or even Europe....
Ariane launchers are not reusable. So the name sticks to a design rather than a specific launcher. More info on the ariane family.
