I find it odd how you can be personally offended by someone's use of a base station. For a PowerBook G3/400 you need to use a PCMCIA Airport card running the open source driver found here: http://wirelessdriver.sourceforge.net/
There is no Airport card for the PowerBook G3/400 or a supported USB device.
However, I'll tolerate your lack of knowledge, but I can't give your comment much credit.
Here is a review of Panther Server for you from OS News http://www.osnews.com/story.php?news_id=5221
Put me down as one of those osx/linux weenies who appreciate this article.
I've found that a house with no windows is a very happy house indeed. OSX for ease of use and those key pieces of commercial software and Linux for everything else.
What will likely happen is there will be a lot of noise about this issue at this conference, but it won't make the final communique. Later on at a different conference, or within UNSECO more nations will like the idea - then Europe will unite behind.
This will all really bug any US government. The US Gov may not control ICANN, but they can start controlling it whenever they want, and they like that.
Ultimately Canada will propose a watered-down compromise and an ineffectual motion will be passed with a provision for a standing army of hackers - no country will be willing to commit troops - And the proud tradition of the UN will go on!
...it's basically just changing the name of ICANN and perhaps the members.
I actually think that something like this is a good idea. After all, ICANN is right now subject to the American courts, what if the RIAA says decides that it can sue ICANN for assigning IPs to music swapers?
If ICANN where to become a UN agency (and never change staff, never leave Cailiforina, etc.) it would be beyond domestic courts. I think it would look a lot like UNESCO.
Though I do stress that something like this is the best idea, because suggestions like 'Will Iran be put in charge of online free speech?' are valid.
One thing the UN is is charter bound - if this where to be set up like ICANN then unsucks.org could be registered, but things like IPv6 would be promoted so US companies can't hoard IPs and legal action would need the backing of a member state.
