I used 'money' as a representation of the resources required since it is a term that every one understands and generally equates to 'energy-materials-brain power-etc...'.
Although new developments are happening faster and faster, the energy to generate them (money) is getting greater and greater. So to get to a point where developments happen concurrently or very very close together will require vase amouts of money. Probably more than is currently available.
Way 'back in the day', 1996, a group of us hard core gamers who owned a video production company and software development company, took this idea to the SCI-Fi channel . We put forward the idea of a weekly half hour news cast that would tie together the overall flow and development of the game story line with the exploits of both random and key players within the game. In addition it would explain game play new features and such. We did a sample game and news cast.
They wrote us off as a bunch of flakes, after all the Internet and Internet Gaming was 'just hype and a passing fad at best and the Internet will never be connected to every household' after all Microsoft was not even in the space.
You will probably find that in the end that no weight is given to these appeals because they all come from second and third world countries. Not real countries like the G8 who know enough not to rub salt in Microsofts wounds by puting forward an appeal especially if they voted no in the first place.
The gas company sells me gas by the cubic meter. The water company sells me water by the cubic meter. So why not have the ISP's sell me throughput (up and down) by the bit. The more I use the more I pay for. (Yes I know there will be other delivery/infastructure charges same as for water and gas)

So long as everyone wants to buy cheap stuff at WalMart, the foreigners will not care about the human rights record of China only that they saved 'all this money' buying stuff they do not need with money they do not have.
Actually the real scarry thing is that if it works there then we are sure to see it used in other venues where security is a consern such as the World Cup (Soccer).
Actually I like being a COBOL consultant/programmer I get to work when I want and I get paid really big bucks. Lots of COBOL still out there in mission critical processes.
IQ as measured by 'standard IO tests' from which this data was extracted is not a measure of true intelligence but rather intelligence based on parameters related to schooling and social mores of the person or organization creating the tests. Therefore if the tests were generated by Americans it would favor them. This is why they are not given the same weight today as they were in the past.
But then being a smart American you already knew that , right?
No, thankfully as a rule we are smarter and realize that our children are at higher risk of meeting a pedophile at the park, on a bus, at the mall, at an after school activity than on line.
No, 9/11 happened because the airline industry did not comply with the recomendations of every aircraft hijacking report going back to the 1960's which was to reinforced and lock the filght deck doors.
What is with all this France bashing from the US. You do realize of course that if it were not for France the United States would exist and most likely you would be part of Canada.
A very interesting read is "Is Mars Habitable?" by Alfred Russel Wallace. Written in 1907 it refutes the then current notion put forward by the astronomer Percival Lowell that Mars had canals, flowing water and plant life.
It is all part of their "I want it now." culture. Not to mention that on voting day they have to vote for everything from President (which they don't actually vote for) right down to the lowest municipale office of dog catcher in some places.

Then I would be paying an arm and a leg for it.

That would be the Jews, hence the name of the place, Judea.

Just create a pre-processor process that applies a set of rules to the incoming request prior to allowing it through to the database.
But rather, "So long and thanks for all the fish".
Will the results of the number and dureation of these 'meetings' be automatically applied to the persons credit card?
Have all your US and overseas clients meet each other in Toronto, Vancouver or anywhere in Canada for that matter.
