Few times in recent days a new player appeared for tech5… It is small and inconvenient. There was nothing wrong with the old player… Does tech5 follow MS example of Vista?
Of course they have backup…. ha ha ha ha ha ha
Oh, those tapes were just too expensive…
Is Gallo jumping in on the podcast/videocast bandwagon like the rest of the TechTV alumni, or is he print only these days?
Charter — Oops!
John, if you think about it, we meddle in all kinds of international business matters. The simplest example would be auto crash & emissions regulations. Simply put, we won’t let you sell a car here unless it meets those regs (there are endless soft examples too – i.e. child labor laws). The EU is simply saying that they won’t allow you to sell software or services on their turf unless the company complies with the EU regs. I’m sure two US companies could merge without EU approval, but they then would not be able to make EU sales, so they choose instead to get EU approval.
EU: Either we approve the deal, or you get out.
As simple as that.
#8, Pedro, one could just right click the Tech5 banner and click “save link as” (Firefox), then play it with whatever wonderful player you like. Or click the banner to go to tech5.podshow.com.
Can’t please everyone. Blame me for the new player. ECA, hhopper and I like the volume control.
OK, a voice from EU here: we do approve of course only things that want to be on our market – not like USA that wants to enforce its copyright laws (DMCA) to EU users. Just remember The Pirate Bay – perfectly legal in Sweeden.
John, is that clear now?

Pirate Bay in Sweden. Hmmm..wonder how long folks here in the USA will have unfettered access to anything that’s *out there* ? I could see a law passed that’d make it un-gawdly and un-patriotic to access anything beyond our borders.
Probably an unworthy thought, but the first word that popped into my head RE the US interfering with other peoples business was Iraq.

I doubt most ISPs backup email unless you specifically pay for it. Email is an added benefit to your ISP account, not a paid for right.
To back-up all the email that is generated on your network everyday would be a monumental task, let alone deal with all the user requests to “get that email I sent to Aunt Millie last week”.
Just brings back the old “always backup your data” even if that’s online on never had a problem.
