Anders: (Laughs) you Got a Color Film, Jim?
Such functionality carries obvious benefits for business users at large enterprises, but Office 2003 offers fewer advantages for home and small office users, Gardner noted. Web sites wishing to receive the money would block access to all users who are not entering the sites via those ISPs. They would distribute the money to Web sites based on traffic. There are variations on this objection that range from, “there is no way to track the traffic” to “there is no way to create a bill” to “there is no way to collect the money.” Right now ISPs, as well as the Web sites, have comprehensive tools that let them track each page viewed by each visitor. The separate company would track traffic and send money to the Web sites based on traffic. Before you click on it, you have to remember to look closely to make sure that the Web site is not going to charge $100 per page instead of a penny per page.
A penny per page does not present a large barrier to the payer, and it pays a nice amount to the Web site. A 10-minute streaming video at 300Kbps consumes upwards of 20 megabytes of bandwidth and might cost the Web site 10 to 20 cents to send it to the viewer. A pay-per-view model might be the right approach. The penny per page approach is extremely easy for everyone to understand. The objection here is that, even though Google will make lots of money from the penny per page idea, it will have to pay even more to spider all the Web sites it keeps track of. Anyone who can work a computer can get a domain name and start a Web site — there’s no social hierarchy on the Web. If the top 1,000 sites started charging for content, then nearly every other content and service Web site would jump on the bandwagon to get a piece of the pie. 7a – If you do get all of the top sites to cooperate, I will not visit them after they start charging for their content.
Many people voice the objection that the penny per page billing company will have a complete list of every site visited by every user, and that is a violation of privacy. The penny-per-page situation is no different than your phone company having a complete list of every phone call you have made, or your credit card company having a complete list of every store from which you have purchased goods. Wolverton’s company is working with another Japanese company, Takenaka Garden Afforestation Inc., of Tokyo, to design ecology gardens. In the 1970s, Iranian architect Nader Khalili was working in the countrysides of Iran, teaching villagers how to make their adobe homes solid by a process that was like firing clay in a kiln. The system’s disadvantages are that the line of sight between a camera and an LED can be obscured, interfering with the tracking process. Wick Systems are similar to ebb and flow systems in that they’re medium-based. They are the same folks who do without cable services (or steal them), and who do not have telephones in their homes. We are a complete package – our comprehensive range of services ensure that you are left satisfied.
ISPs are already billing tens of millions of people on a monthly basis. Approximately 250 MIT scientists and engineers are included as recipients of the Silver Achievement Medal for their role on the TESS team. Immediately prior, Anders had been photographing the lunar surface with a 250 mm lens; the lens was subsequently used for the Earthrise images. The website first came online April 29, 1999. Keep up the good work and here’s to more stunning volcano images (like the one above of Mt. Pinatubo) to come! If you pick bytes, then you will see people bloating images and doing all sorts of other crazy things to inflate their pages. You will also see how to automate the creation of a slidedeck and run the slide show with PowerPoint PIA. A small but vocal minority mentions the “I will NEVER pay for content!” threat constantly. It seems like it would be difficult for second-tier sites to charge for content if top-tier sites did not. If it is OK for poor people to pay for all of these other items, why should it be bad for them to pay for the content? Which is why the researchers at NASA’s Johnson Space Center dedicate so much of their time to detecting it.
