The Zhodani Base

Surfing the internet or running a webserver became illegal today in Sweden.

From July 1:st, there are new laws saying that it is illegal to download copyrighted material. This means that it would be illegal for me to surf on the web.

It has also been ruled that collecting IP-addresses is illegal, and since every webserver does that, it is now also illegal to run a webserver.

This makes Sweden a lot worse than China!

Some links about this.

The press release from the Swedish Riksdag:

What should I do? Should I stop surfing the web, and close down The Zhodani Base, or should I become a criminal?

Cheers

Daryl Frewing has updated the Hadji and Hanstone Sectors and also produced TNE data.

This has now been uploaded to the Space Atlas.

Thank You Daryl.

It is now possible to create Your own Striker Counters using the “Tank and Heavy Weapons Counters Rendering Machine“.

As a bonus, it is also possible to create PanzerBlitz counters.

Daryl Frewing has updated Malorn Sector, and it has been uploaded to the Space Atlas.

All the planets without population, but with a tech-level has been corrected.

Aside from having fewer teeth, what’s there for me to find out?

It is now possible to build Your own new units for FFW or for othergames using the “Land Unit Counters Rendering Machine“.

Maybe someone has any ideas about some generic wargame rules?

For all of those of You who wanted to make a small dotmap of a sector, just like the dotmaps of the dotmap version of the space atlas.

You can now do it with the new webbased dotmap generator.

This book was interesting, but had really nothing useful fortraveller. It was full of funny ideas, like what the nano-bots could do for you like sex changes and brushing your teeth.

It also had an interesting setting. Humanity had been thrown out from earth by some super race of dolphin lovers, so now humanity lived on the moon and on the other planets, and were not allowed to go back to earth. The main character is a reporter, who is supposed two write an article series for the 200 year anniversary, since the war with the aliens.

If we are rich enough we can go to space for real in 2007.

It is probably a good thing that Virgin dared to sponsor “Space Ship One”. This will give the private space industry the support it needs. Hopefully some of the other X-prize projects will find equally good sponsors.

The question is, why have the airlines, and the aircraft industry been such cowards until now?

Good thing that Branson realized that there are profits to be made, and that it is one of the coolest private projects ever…

Take a look at the DutyFreeShop at the CotiBards.
