Achilles vs Alexander in the first big fight scene in Robot Jox, a movie I haven't seen (yet!). I guess it's a 1990 film about two giant robots that fight in an arena.

Best YouTube comment, by Mysanthropyc: This film is a documentary, by the way. This really happened. This is how we won the Cold War.

Fish, plankton, sea-greens and protein from the sea. … Overwhelming, am I not? Are you too startled? Am I too removed from your ken? … Box … Box … Box…

More on Box at Jeff's Robots, including an mp3 of Box's introductory speech!

In 1984, AT&T, then the largest company in the U.S., was broken up because of the monopoly controls "Ma Bell" had over telecommunications. Known as "Divestiture," we have reached the 25th anniversary of the AT&T breakup, and it is time to look carefully and critically at the deregulation of telecommunications to evaluate the effectiveness of this important economic policy.

Open Infrastructure Alliance (OIA), together with the Internet Society (ISOC) New York chapter, convened a series of panels on 6 March 2009 to dialog on the deregulation of the telecommunications industry.

Panel one—Historical perspective

  • Alex Goldman
