Actually, it is the government of the Republic and Canton of Geneva, which, is, indeed, in the Swiss Confederation.

It is Geneva International all right. It started with another grand idea. Henry Dunant, the founder of the International Committee of the Red Cross, came out with the idea that the wounded soldier does not belong to any state or government anymore. That she/he belongs to the higher authority.

This idea still keeps changing the wold.

There was the technology to transmit images over the telegraph still in 30s. But the real popularity of the net started with the invention of the WWW at the CERN.

By the way, the actual invention was done not by a programmer but by the an engineer who was doing the real work.

Yes, but what was it? One more obscure communication protocol.

The WWW Internet is a global phenomenon now. And the WWW Internet was invented by a physicist who was trying to solve a real physical problem.

He was trying to solve a problem of distributing scientific papers among CERN scientists. He did it during work time paid by CERN and on the CERN's computer.

The main database of the Internet, MySQL, is also an International project.

It is just not true that the Internet is sort of an US present to the world. It is not.

We thought that the US government is playing a positive role for the Internet. Until E.S. revealed what is really going on.

Instead of working together with other governments to fight spam, cyber crime, etc. it all came down to the total carpet spying on us, to creating back-doors. It is not nice at all.

The USA is a big and complicated thing. There are a lot of different people, groups, schools, parties, etc. in America. As everywhere else.

No one wants to disconnect the North America from the Internet. But its contribution should be positive. Nowadays it leaves an impression of a total eavesdropping of the Internet and it scares people.

The article 12 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights gives the right of privacy of communication and home to all people on Earth.

The Internet as we know it was invented in CERN, Geneva, Switzerland. The invention was released into the public domain by the CERN administration. That is why we have the WWW Internet.

Otherwise we would have several Internets: a Microsoft Internet, Apple Internet, IBM Internet, etc.

Geneva is an international city and the CERN is an international project.

Say, PHP&MySQL were not made in the USA.

I have an impressions that the wall of fundamental laws is reached and further research of particles is useless. This is it. No way further. The impasse.

Right. I wonder was it due to the fact that English is not my native tongue, or was it a Freudian slip.

In any case E.S. needs money to survive in a megalopolis.

The price of life in Russia and especially in Moscow is very high. The government of RF does not assist E.S. in fear of further reprisals from the US government.

E.S. has to hire a protection from a private security company, an apartment, etc.

I would not be surprised if visionaries and leaders of the computer industry, including FOSS, turn out to be generals, admirals and colonels. And that the leading technological companies are just the departments of the single organization.

One or two infested OSs or encryption algorithms are not enough. It is an opportunity for the new "cottage cheese" computers and software industry.

Various hardware architectures, various OSs, encryption approaches, etc. which are talking to each other via open clear protocols.

Let my computer be less sleek or cool but it should me my computer and my software.

I am an office worker. Sometimes I work from home via computerized communication channel. I remain an office worker.

The same about piloting. If a pilot wants to seat inside an aircraft - fine. But if she wants to be somewhere else and still pilot an aircraft, the technology does exist for it.

Piloting an aircraft via remote control is risky. Any human endeavor is risky.

Major western newspapers publish the stuff he reveled. Give him a legal immunity, so that he could return back home on his own will.

Uncle Sam is very angry with Russian Federation. It is getting out of control. I guess the RF did not realize how serious is all this. It seemed at the beginning that he was sort of an American Solzhenitzyn, but it turns out the the US government has lost a lot of money because of this event.

But it was not Eurasia's fault. It is an American story.

An aircraft flies very quickly. It can happen to any pilot.
