Ellison Wants National ID Card, Powered By Oracle

There's an advertising slogan to be proud of: 'Oracle, the Big Database behind Big Brother'. Or 'Oracle, the All-Seeing Eye'. Or 'If it's good enough for Orwell, it's good enough for your company'.

cards would not have made any difference in the recent
terrorist attacks on New York and Washington. The British
have generally opposed their reintroduction since the wartime
system of identity cards was abolished in 1952."

If this happens, I'm moving to Afghanistan after we bomb it. No Taliban, and people who are already used to repressive regimes. My kindergarten teacher always said I'd make a great dictator.

Yes, just look at all the "anti-terrorist" legislation was passed in the 48 hours after the Oklahoma City bombing. Do you think all that shit was written in 48 hours? No, it was sitting on someone's desk, waiting for the appropriate time of national outrage.

I upgraded to ghostscript 7.00 but it still doesn't work. I geekily tweaked it to double the horizontal resolution, but while that fixes the compression problem printing gets cut off at the 4 inch midway point, so I only get the left side of anything I print.
LINUX BROKE MY GODDAMN PRINTER TOO!
I DEMAND JUSTICE!
And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
