The control room doesn't have to be in your country. It's tricky for anyone who isn't a superpower to remove a satelite owned and operated by another country. Distributed DNS etc doesn't really help if all the cables in…
when I bought my minidisc they were about $100, a comparable Creative flash based Mp3 player was 32Mb. You could have a handful of disks with 80mins of HQ music on each whereas the MP3 players of the time were either…
>Dear Egyptian Police and Military. The US government gives Egypt $1.5 Billion every year. That's what is paying your salary. If you want to get paid, just get out of the way. And replace him with who ? We had a…
It would be very easy to turn it off to somewhere like Greece. There are probably only a few companies connecting to the outside world. And these are either government owned, or were until recently but are still so…

Have you seen netflix's offerings in Canada?
The British army only just relented - the new SA80 is the first fully automatic rifle to be standard issue.
Colonel Kalashnikov was paid by a west german company that owned the marketing rights to the name - I think they made aftershave!
Sony went corporate American. After the Betamax debacle it decided it would win the next format war by owning studios. That meant that anything it built for the consumer also had to be good for the studio. So for…
What about a country where the head of the church is also the head of the armed forces? Where nuclear missile submarines are launched with "god bless her and all who sail in her"? Where belief in God, the head of state…
