1) We invented it- Its ours. On that train of thought, move the UN headquarters to Europe and let the Europeans pay to run their "invention"
2) Sharing obviously is making problems. Fine, close in/out of US routes, and allow countries to "buy in". Countries can then set up their own "internets" and route to the US and we'll route back.. for a modest fee of course.
3)UN can grab control of whatever European "internets" it wants to, but don't fuck with ICANN's
If Taiwan gets seen as independant then they should also change the label of "puyallup Valley" to Fife washington. I'm sure if the hicks around here saw that they're raise hell!
It'd also be nice if the development i lived in *wasn't* a patch of dirt. =P
I alrewady responded but classifying hacking as an art is like calling light a wave or electrons particles. In reality their both, and no matter what the human mind does to them it can never prove it one way or the other.
Scientifically, it is the science of logic.
Artistically, it is left to the individual to state as he will. And I think a second example of hacking as an art is it takes the right kind of mind to understand it. I know several people who love computers, but you stick them in front of something to hack, and they're lost.
Considering the internet is so vast, can it really seriously be defined as the property of one country anyway? I mean sure us American's pay for it tax wise, but if thats the issue let the EU tax the euro and send that over here. Then they can say they own part of it to.
All this seems like is
1) hatred of america, like people that dislike bill gates cause he has money, people hate people with things they can't have; and oh-so many of them are willing to say you got it unfairly, when I assure you 90% of countries have a history faaaaaarrrr worst than America's. But thank you England, if it weren't for your religious bigotry us American's wouldn't exist!
2) Just some global unification crap. The UN is gonna die, and when that happens do you want the internet to go with it? Besides, most people here (/.) feel like their rights online are being taken away slowly but surely, I assure that if the internet was handed over to the UN the pace would speed up immediately.
I'd pay five dollars extra (to the standard book cost) to have both a digital and physical copy of the books I own. I dunno how many times I'm looking through a book and my mind moved my hand to press Ctr+F.
I'm sure book sales would go up if there was a way like this to actually gain access to digital books.
And the the average medieval serf knew how a trebuchet worked.
I mean, most software people have a vague understanding of how the hardware works and vice-versa. But people only learn what they need/want to know. Not everyone cares how it works. I understand hardware, but networking/software is where I feel comfortable. I don't feel above anyone because of my preference. And I doubt most people do, the problem is people who feel lower because of their preference.
I don't really see how it's good or bad, the only direction I'm vaguely excited in is the world of FPS games. I hate console FPSes and this could be just the thing to improve FPS gaming IMHO.
I Suppose I agree with the article in the idea that we should encourage attempts at innovations such as this.

I'd say it works pretty great, we were on it at our old hous, and we moved her and got a new number and the calls *flooded* in. So I put the number on the list and it stopped almost over night. Now and then we get a random survey, but nothing annoying.
Like several other people have stated, I don't really get the definition of a blog other than "an easy to use, idiot proof homepage".
I don't have anything against blogs but.... I don't have one and I don't read any. I know there are some useful blogs out there, but when I hear blog I still think of pimply-emo-kid-greg complaining about his mom not paying for his sex change operation.
The problem is, you act like some fuckin' revolutionary, when it's your mind set that holds the metaphorical megaphone. Look at hollywood, Mtv, and the whole rest of pop-culture. Almost all of them would agree with you. Does that make it true? Of course not, it just means you live in some jaded world where you're an individual. Take off the painted sunglasses and look around yourself for once.
No protests? I live in Tacoma/Seattle Washington, and I can name two pretty major riots within the last five years.
1) WTO, basically a massive mob of people like you went to "protest" but instead robbed local stores and destroyed private property. THEN police came in to restore order. Now the fact that they were left alone while they protested, and clogged streets during peak business hours, leads me to believe force was only used when they started breaking laws, not because they were practicing free-speech.
2) Marti Gras, another pretty large protest riot, several people were killed when they tried to DEFEND innocents from "protesters with brass-knuckles".
You blame government for the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina? I'd agree with you if you didn't blame the federal government! If you knew anything about government you'd know that in emergency situations city is held responsible first, then state, and lastly federal. City government told people to leave, people did not leave, are you gonna blame government because people excersized their freedom?!?! Thats what it sounds like to me.
Next, when federal government offered aid to the governor she said "let me sleep on it".
Another time STATE government failed was in their delay to declare martial law. Mississippi declared it almost immediately, and did you see any looting? No. But the governor of Louisiana says "I don't want any minority hurt or else they'll be mad" so she doesn't declare it for OVER A WEEK. Now, 95% of louisiana is a "minority" if you ask me 95% is a MAJORITY. Hell its over a super majority (2/3). I assure you, if you had the coast guard on every corner with automatic rifles in full gear with the simple command "shoot". Those people would have stopped shooting at the relief helicopters. (Damn, thats stupid if you ask me, 'hey lets shoot the people trying to save us!' they deserve to be killed, remove them from the gene pool for the love of god).
so if anyone should be blamed with the aftermath of hurricane katrina it is the local government, which is composed of the leftists you would seem to identify yourself with.
The only reason you feel like you can equate the american government with the chinese government is because you're an anarchist, and any government is "evil" to you. This stems from the fact that you hate restriction because you like so many other people have been brainwashed to believe that freedom is something that can be taken away. Freedom is perhaps the only thing Sartre was right about when he stated that we are condemned to freedom, that it is inalienable. Government can only advise us on how to use our freedom, it is our choice to conform or to be nonconformist. I for one can't think of anything that is expressly considered illegal that i wish to do, so of course I don't feel any limitation on MY freedom.
Perhaps you just don't get that restrictions can be good.
Of course I do not support the chinese government. And I'm eager to see it topple.
I'm just sticking to the doctor analogy.
The article talks about old equipment and what-not and that's gonna be obsolete eventually. companies will need someone to atleast have some initiative to keep things somewhat current. I don't see why they wouldn't hire a newer technician.
Its all an analogy, don't take it literal plzkthx
Also the young doctor(IT guy) is fresh out of training and knows the latest techniques and is probably more willing to drive forward and encourage growth. Where as the older doctor is losing his steady hand(or his memory for the IT guy) and has been using the same stuff and probably has nearly no drive to keep the technology somewhat current.
I see it in my dad, who I'd say is one helluva a sys admin with his grasp of security/networking in general, but its obvious that his age does effect his way of thinking... and its not always "wiser" imho.
Slashdot Mirror
I think its a great resource when you're just curious about something, but I would use it to write a paper.
I only use it to look stuff up quick when google isn't returning anything very useful to satisfy my whim of curiosity.
I guess what I generally mean is have USA-ICANN and EU-ICANN.
1) We invented it- Its ours. On that train of thought, move the UN headquarters to Europe and let the Europeans pay to run their "invention"
2) Sharing obviously is making problems. Fine, close in/out of US routes, and allow countries to "buy in". Countries can then set up their own "internets" and route to the US and we'll route back.. for a modest fee of course.
3)UN can grab control of whatever European "internets" it wants to, but don't fuck with ICANN's

well I for one welcome our new ape overlords.
that somehow they'll hit 100% with some slick "you must activate this with microsoft within 30 days or else your xbox will BLOW FRICKIN UP" message.

I coin it artistic-scientific nature duality!

Of course it ain't perfect but don't spill my glass 'cause its fuller than your's

Well, I agree that the laws are too vague, but the general idea of a majority of these laws aren't too bad.
I dunno, I'm not doing anything illegal, why should I be scared?
I'd say it works pretty great, we were on it at our old hous, and we moved her and got a new number and the calls *flooded* in. So I put the number on the list and it stopped almost over night. Now and then we get a random survey, but nothing annoying.

lmao! I'm a 17 year old whos had no training to speak of other than what he's picked up himself. But hey, think that if you want.
Reminds me of "The Incredible Mr. Limpet" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0058230/)
Really though, this could be interesting...

All I have to say is THANK GOD. I'm sick of the whole state's monetary resources being poured into Seattle.
