So basically we have a UK citizen, operating a UK business (sportingbetplc.com board) who the moment he steps foot into the USA is arrested, not for crimes he committed but for crimes committted by US citizens.
Oh and arrested under ambiguous Louisiana law, that defines all interstate gaming as illegal.
I cant wait for the chairman of the NY Times to be arrested on a visit to China because chinese citizens were reading copies of the NY Times on the internet.
Oh and as for visiting 'unfriendly' countries, how about if Castro started shooting american tourists he found in Cuba for 'crimes of treason' in carrying US dollars in their wallets?
This is insane America. When are you going to wake up and begin to be a good 'world citizen'?
You cant just arrest people for 'crimes against the state' that dont even occur in your country........isn't that what terrorists do? Impose their will against the world at large.
I keep hoping I will wake up and the insanity will end? it's like a bad dream. It's getting hard to tell who is the bad guys anymore.
yep and because this web site is viewable in china the chinese now have the right to arrest you because one of their citizens broke the law by reading your comment in china.
this is bullshit and I hope someone high profile from the USA is arrested overseas soon as a retaliation.
Bush is insane and the post 9/11 civil liberties rollback has gone too far.
Lol, I'm reticent to post this url for fear of the dreaded "slashdot avalanche effect" but here goes.
The problem with the Google technology is it is flawed. You could build the same solution with some old dialogic boards and a rainy weekend. It would have been hot in the 90's but technology has now moved on.
There are a number of vendors out there offering far more intuitive and less intrusive solutions however only 1 has a true clientless offering; www.Mexuar.com is a small but dynamic UK company who have recently launched Corraleta at Astricon in London. (but already has real paying customers who are using it in real world applications).
FYI, whilst we launched at London Astricon 1 month ago and have shipped licenses both in Europe and Australia, the USA launch being held off until Astricon Dallas in 4 weeks time.
Their server side java voip applet is revolutionary, Mexuar Corraleta is the first clientless voip application that can allow your website visitors to speak with you via their ordinary headset, up over their web connection, to the Corraleta server application and then to a real phone on a real desk in your office.
Mexuar Corraleta allows your website vistors to 'dial' via their headset and mic and ask you real time questions and get real time answers via voice all without needing to download an annoying client like Skype(...pftt that was yesterdays technology). Ever want to speak with your website visitors real time?.......now you can with Mexuar Corraleta.
Should you need more info feel free to check out their website at www.mexuar.com however it is still pre-release for the next few weeks.
There is a demo on my website at www.cognation.net/mexuar and anyone looking to implement this technology is free to try it out today on www.cognation.net/contact......but however be kind and don't "slashdot my server" Cheers, Dean
by sheeple in the west I mean those people being victims of a corrupt government who are hoodwinking them through unscrupulous PR tactics especially around election times.
show us the proof-where is the evidence, or is this going to be with held under guise of national security-why can we still not after 3 years convict anyone from guantanamo bay?
when are "Sheeple" in the west going to wake up to themselves this is a loosing battle.
I've had it with these "increased security measures", everywhere that you go in the subways in NY now they are saying bags subject to search, I cant wait for someone to stop me, without a warrant they can ask me to leave the subway but no way are they searching my stuff without probably cause.
exactly what is the reason we are fighting terrorism for in the first place?
lol - can I say.....being setup to sellout, lol - how "skype"ish is their visuality.
maybe if Skype bought them out they could turn support calls into free minutes for international calls (lol -0 well they are already giving away USA and Canada calls).
Dean
I disagree entirely, the number 1 person at a company always has a huge inlfuence over not only the corporate direction but also the 'ambience' of the company. examples are listed here http://deancollinsblog.blogspot.com/2006/07/fish-r ots-from-head.html
How else can you exlain when someone leaves/arrives at a company only to find changes percolating throughout the company at such a rapid rate that cant be calculated on just personal influence.

if you want to write your own mobile code you should check out www.savaje.com then? If you aren't familiar with them you can check out a post in my blog I made about them a month ago. http://deancollinsblog.blogspot.com/2006/05/javaon e.html

It is a brand new mobile phone OS in competition with Symbian, Palm and Windows Mobile.
The entire OS is J2SE (not the normal mobile phone cut down version of java that the rest are running). They just launched the first handset a few weeks ago at javaOne and you should have seen the Sun guys raving about it.
yep it rocked, the history channel footage was amazing and yet freakish at the same time.
basically looked like a bath draining down the plughole, all the mine was eventually flooded and it was left like that ever since.
I always thought it would be an amazing place to go scuba diving and wondered if the center expanded out and if there is a method which you can come up into the lake from the external mine shafts.

this is bullshit. I cant wait until another country starts arresting americans over 'laws of the land'.
and americans wonder why people hate them.
unfortunately I'm living in NY at the moment but this kind of shit makes me want to move ever day.
Dean
i've noticed that www.sitemeter.com pushes a lot of ads for retargetting.com
not sure how widespread their memeber sites are as never looked into it but sounds like a good idea to me.
Dean
what a crock, who's to say what is violent what is ok?
are whips and handcuffs now illegal and being restricted from sale?
How about candle wax?
This post 911, ceasing your civil liberties shit is getting out of hand.

shame it's for apple only :(
I have at least 3 projects I've been tossing around for a few years that i think the timing is right for.
Dean
any thoughts how this may have an advantage over the www.savaje.com all java os?
pretty much able to build your own software to this device thats been available for a few months.
Cheers,

totally agree, micropayments can make software developers rich/writers/musicians/artists etc, they just need an efficient collection method.
Dean
thats exactly what pisses me off more than anything.
the appearance of fighting terrorism is more about controlling the masses then actually getting bad guys.
think of it as a tax on the dumb...there does that help you sleep better at night?
Dean
bah bah bah
yep...must be an election coming up in the UK.
