#16  "I would like to see GPS (multiple antennas) in all nics so you would have Lat, Long, Height and a random number between 1 and 256."

~loads coordinates of spammer nics into JDAM and wonders whether they are feeling lucky today...~

Sweet daydreams.

#15  How can an entity that has yet to formally exist, i.e. does NOT legally or morally exist as per the rejection by various Euro-states of its proposed Constitution, now asking to share??? At least NAFTA and simil were approved by the USA, Canada, and Mahico [Mexico], etc.

#11  It's about censorship people. It's the same reason the UN wants control. They want to control what you read and see. We can't have dirty landury, scandal and treason viewed by the "public" can we.

#10  The hell with profit!

They want this for the same reason they want anything...power and control.

And don't count on business to bail us out here. They've already proven they have no problem building tools for tyrants to censor the net.

The EU just wants the same power that China, Saudi, Iran, etc. have over content.

#9  I actually have thought about doing an RFC to replace the current IP basis of the internet addressing.
I would like to see GPS (multiple antennas) in all nics so you would have Lat, Long, Height and a random number between 1 and 256. This should be done to about a 5 meter sphere plus the random number. That gives a solid shell mesh addressing with multiple neighbor connections. Then instead of a network hierarchy you get a network solid. Yeah I know the NSA would hate it but it would be much more resistant faliure as there would not be single points in the hierarchy to cause problems.

#8  I would be in favor of a shadwo internet for U.S. only that is free and with EU/UN or any other control. Want to guess which would be more profitable?

#7  If for some stupid moronic reason, this gets turned over, watch for the creation of a new, second internet that is US only. American businesses will NOT tolerate control of the internet going to the UN out of fear of their own liabilities. You thinking hacking and DOS attacks are bad now? Let the UN have it, and you'll have the same problems with them being unable to call terrorists terrorists. Prosecution of any hacking will become next to impossible despite US laws.

The only thing the UN should have control over is France.

#5  Ain't it funny how capitalism and technology are evil, until the EU/UN wants to try and make a buck off it. Besides with Jack Chirac's French Sewage,,, errr Social Model I'm sure the Euroweenies will have something better soon...

Kofi Spam would be cool though. "Dear Friend...."
