But this is a limited list based on tv and web marketing in the US. Non-english series never shown in the US are ofcourse missing, such as SPACE PATROL -
The fantastic adventures of the starship ORION. The german series (14) Raumpatrouille. Die phantastische Abenteuer des Raumschiffes ORION first broadcasted in 1966, but were never shown in the US or the UK. I guess it was too soon after WWII...
After the Thunderbirds, this was the second scifi tv series one could watch in the Netherlands. Would be great to see a more international list with entries from East-Europe, Japan?
... to crack down on those that produce and distribute deviant pornography
i guess i depends on what what is understood to be abnormal and what not. where is the borderline - i guess they meant those producing violent porn?
and what will happen to deviant talk, music, art, technology, science? frightening idea that an authority will define what is natural and normal and what is deviant.
The program is intended to foster proper intellectual property decisions according to international law, and the local law of each nation in question.
Whose international law? The US has not signed up to the international (criminal) court.
I think the US legal system only works for those have (lots of) money.
f you don't care for it, go enjoy some tribal justice elsewhere for a while and then come back and let me know which system you prefer. Little communes full of happy natives sound great until you get your genitals chopped off in a public ritual for winking at another guy's wife.
Well, I am from the Netherlands, which is a rather backward nation. I apologise for questioning your superiority.
The government is now claiming a state-secret privilege, and is refusing to let the inventors sue Lucent for patent infringement, citing national security concerns.
So every individual or organisation considering to sue a company-with governement interest is a threat to national security.
That's maybe true in the US, but not in Europe. There have been similar schemes for free computers with contract, but they never took off.
In that period this market was flooded with cheap and often not very good computers that left many users in the dark. I don't think it's affordable if your computer does not work for you.
Indeed, "easy to use" as is in "Microsoft made computers easy to use" is an opinion.
Hmm, this sounds more like a world domination plan. So the US-government
and US-businesses have agreed that all intellectual-property shall be
theirs, and their agents ("... train foreign judges") will do the field
administration to assure US interests secured.
Why is the US so convinced of it's own legal system. Why should it work for the rest of the world?
It would be fun though if it made the sound of a scanner. I am concerned about the alarm tones that will be added to the flood of ringtones. Imagine a busy business technology fair...
The Alphakat website states (in german) that the messages distributed by the media about Dr. Christian Koch (Koch is german for 'cook') processing dead cats into diesel are false and unfounded. And that legal action is being taken against those who made these allegations...
Ofcourse it's not just the iPod, but people voluntarily exposing their very sensitive ears to very music/sound/noise for a longer period. It was really cool to play very loud music when the first walkman came out.
I also wonder what the long term effects will be of using the Click Wheel and exposure to 1.5 inch iPod nano screens. Also afraid that the hearing loss will cause people to turn up their volume, causing even more noise.
"... The WiFi project is a public/private partnership not funded by taxpayers, and comes at no charge to the end user."
How can something be publicly funded without tax payers money? And than the cost of the decision making process of the council, admin, p.r. etc.
"(According to the linked story at WHIO-TV, the city is actually paying about $5,000 per year, with advertisers picking up the rest of the tab.)"
How do advertisers make money? Do users have to accept ads to enjoy a 'free' service? How free is it? Can I use VOIP? Can I do anything I like?
In the statement of the city of Dayton it reads: "We also believe offering this type of exciting, pioneering service will go a long way toward helping Dayton attract that 'creative class' of people who will help fuel our community's future success."
Not sure if WiFi can provide sufficient bandwidth for such ambitions...

Really?Indeed, but maybe not in Australia...
Or the gap between MS own design and software departments...
Both users and providers get what they want, illegally.

I would have given them away to boost audience figures and participation.
