Actualy I think the original poster has a point. The suggestion isn't that this will happen over night but imagine the development process.
First you get clusters that are only linked via the established networked.
Then clusters of those get linked up with longer range networking techniques (Do I need to mention Pringles can antenas)
Eventualy you only need to cover the large geographic areas between population centers but thats where something like shortwave gets in.
Sure speed is proberbly going to be dependant on distance but the suggestion that one day we may do most of our global networking independant of the telcos sounds pretty good to me.
That depends, if there were less scuba sets than people it could get very interesting very fast.
Besides, the atmosphere on mars is very very thin, much lower than at the top of everest if I remmeber correctly. The problem with really low air presure (ignoring the lack of any o2) is that your lungs start to leak water ending in what is effectively drowning. Even with an o2 supply climbers effectively start dying once the air gets two thin. Exactly how long you could last in the open on mars with an o2 supply I couldn't tell you but I'm not sure I'd like to find out.
No but you do touch on an issue of even deeper concern to me than the DMCA. The Skylarov case pecidant that is really worrying. That is if you break a us law whilst in your own country and then travel to the US then they can hold you liable even if you did not break the law in your own country. Imagine if an American citizen were arrested in the UK for breaking a law (whilst on US soil) that Us law doesn't consider an illegal act.
The US would be in uproar.
To me this issue is just as important as the DMCA issue although I haven't scene it discussed anything like as much. If you take it to it's logical conclusion you must obey every law of every country you have any inkling to visit.
"The risk that a researcher could go to jail for giving a speech at an academic conference is essentially zero,"
Was I the only person who stoped reading soon after this sentance. This Orin S. Kerr should have a solid sit down chat with Dimitry.
The bulk of this texts argument seems to be based on what has and has not worked in a court when defended but they fail to see this is only part of the point. We all know the mojority of small companies and individuals simply can't defend themselves in court so the DMCA threats are enough.
The DMCA gives the big boys a new threat to use. A friend of mine was recently held up at gunpoint in the store where he works, he explained to me that he was 99% sure the gun was a replica and yet he didn't laugh the guy off, any ideas why?
I've downloaded attack of the clones, I haven't watched the downloaded copy but I have seen it twice at the cinema, and I'll probably go again. I'll most likely watch my downloaded copy during the endless gulf between cinema and the time I can rush out and bye a copy on the first available day. My shelf is stacked full of movies and dvd's I've paid for, I've never downloaded a film I haven't previously or subsequently PAID to go and see at the cinema and rarely have I not bought the film on release and yet I am the enemy. Mr Valenti would have you believe I'm an enemy of the movie industry, Wake up! I'm your friend, I love the movie industry, I'm a fan, I pay my way.
If you thought my subject line was provocative think about it. The MPAA is exactly that, we are dealing with an organisation that is beating the drums of war. They point at a group of people and say "They are your problem, they will take your jobs, they will destroy your livelihood, deal with them and life will bed a bed of roses" . What we have is an organisation that is exploiting the same fears and weaknesses in the people they are exploiting as fascists and warmongers have done since the dawn of time.
Next time your watching your favourite (and presumably legally purchased if not legally played) dvd turn on the directors commentary and listen. Most of the time I hear people who care about the movies they are making, they care about the art form and they care about the people who are going to watch it. These guys are as much the victims of the MPAA as we are, keep making your movies and we will keep paying for them.
Some people might consider me foolish for admitting to downloading films and not posting anonymously but in my own way I'm standing up to the MPAA, supina slashdot guys, get my user details. Come to the UK, let 12 of my countrymen see my dvd shelf and then convince them I've lost you money. You'll probably win but I'll get a fine and you'll get a big stack of mud on your face.

Actually the flaw exploited by the potentials and neo in the matrix security system was first reported about 15 years ago. The AI overlords started out by saying it wasn't a problem, then they said it was only theoretical (nobody could actually exploit it). After the revelations that neo is "the one" the overlords have started legal action against the party who first publicly reported the bug explaining that it is their fault. The matrix is the securest virtual world available and people should not underestimate the hidden cost of the (so called) free alternatives! Hey did I just see Jeff Goldblum with a mac?
The 1st rule is never, ever ask anyone who sells security products to do an audit, they will just try to sell you something.
IMHO opinion an audit is not what you need, spend the money employing someone who does know about security to get (and keep) things ship shape. Security is an ongoing issue and can't be solved by a one of check, the audit could be perfect but your still wide open the next time some kiddie finds a hole in your preferred webserver software.
For years this was true of Europe (And to a degree still is). The bulk of the transatlantic connectivity is still played for by European companies. This is the underlying reason why broadband and leased lines cost more here in Britain than in the states.
The situation has been gradually changing because there is demand in the US for some of the content being hosted in Europe, it will take a lot more time for the playing field to level out but it will eventually do so.
The African question is interesting, for the time being they are going to need to like it or lump it. I can't remember ever wanting to access an African website but my websites show quite a few hits from African domains. The situation for Africa is very much what it was for Europe a decade ago, they want to access the internet as it exists outside there country, it would be outright wrong to ask the rest of the world to pay for it.
As the African countries gain a larger online presence I'm sure people in the west will want to get at African sites, then they will start to go down the same road that Europe is now heading down.
Is this a tough barrier to entry into the Internet world? Yes. Should relevant authorities consider help and subsidies to help developing world deal with it? Yes. Is this a blatant attempt to rip of the Africa's of $500bn? Not even close.
Absolutely, there is more than one way of dealing with someone who is badmouthing you on the internet! Did these people learn nothing from Jay and Silent Bob?
You have been able to buy self heating nescafe coffee at my local service station for a month or so now. The volume of actual coffee in each is quite low but I keep one in the glove compartment for cold morning trafic jams.
If you registered it presumably the MPAA would (sooner or later) womp out the lawyers and claim the domain for themselves, of course at some point the RIAA would also notice it...
What differentiates cars? Why don't car manufacturers spend gobs of cash throwing the newest "maximum speed notched up by 10 mph!" engines for their vehicles? Why do they, instead, focus on styling, CD players, automatic this-and-thats? Probably because you could make a car that can go 500 mph in the shape of a Civic, but honestly no one would need the extra speed (mainly because of traffic laws, but you know...)
I think the fact that you don't loose your computing licence for 5 years when someone catches running your pc at 100MHz is a more probable reason.
Firstly, Isn't the whole "Innocent until proven guilty" thing built into the US constitution? The way this law punishes all for the crimes of the few makes me sick to my stomach. If they ever try for this in the UK I for one will kick up a stink.
Secondly, What about software piracy? It's my observation that much more piracy happens to software than to music, this leaves the stink of powerful lobbying rather than thoughtful government.
