Of course. And if you don't pay it, you should receive a criminal citation for disobeying.
With a criminal record, we can then wreck the rest of your life because of your lousy driving habits.
Sometimes, public officials like the proponent of this "idea" make me want to scream......ENOUGH!!!!!
Then I calm down, and go back to my regular existence.

Most pc-based operating systems can work on virtual pc. OS Packs are available with linux. Or, if you already own a distribution, just try an install after setting up a new install volume. Very simple, and documented on the virtual pc web site.

Finally, a voice of sanity.
For a nerd website the luddism of half of the people here is incredible.
Hypocrisy too. After all, how many computers do most people who frequent Slashdot own? More than one? How can you justify that -- what a waste of energy!
Now, tell me about those awful "posers" using cell phones.
In fact, Canada has the Communications Security Establishment, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service, and municipal and provincial police forces in addition to the RCMP.

>I don't like "computers" and I don't want to spend half my life figuring out why they don't work.
In all the drivel, finally the true difference between *some* mac addicts and the rest of us.
I happen to really *Iike computers*, and I want to know how they work, and why they stop working.
I also use a mac (actually two, a TiBook and an imac266), a Sun Ultra 10 and a Thinkpad 600.
Each to his or her own, but basic curiosity about the hardware is key. Especially on a site like Slashdot.

I agree with this. How about a few experiments to see how handhelds might be integrated into the delivery of basic curriculum?
After all, given the lousy performance of the current "back to basics" movement, it isn't as if we have much to lose from trying something new.
Well, once you have *regular* access to this imagery you can get the following information:
- the type of aircraft being used to spy;
- the locations of regular patrols, and the timing of ground surveillance and raids that accompany them
- the resolution of the cameras being used, and their capacity for tracking individuals on the ground (in vehicles and on foot)
Based on other information sources (like the real location of suspects in the war crimes tribunals), you can figure out how close they are to really arresting wanted criminals, and you might also be able to identify leakers within your own organization who are "queueing" the NATO surveillance and investigative resources.
Because the imagery is also tagged by date and time, you are able to correlate surveillanec patterns with public statements by NATO officials about likely arrest targets.
This is just a start. If I thought about it, I am sure I could think of some *real* intelligence value in these pictures.
Someone should be fired over this snafu.
Unbelievable!

>having their DNS sequence.....
I can see how you got confused.
Maybe having their *DNA* sequence would have flagged them in a "dangerous persons'" database, however...

Maybe they mean the federal government's share.
I agree - this would cost much more than $315 milion.
The thing is, since the federal government doesn't issue drivers licenses (at least in CONUS), the *states* get to pay for it.
Neat eh. (another Canadian sneeking in under cover of darkness).
Even if the feds pick up *some* of the tab, they get to make the states take the heat from the privacy protectors.
I think that this all quite clever.

That 's right, Irises. As far as I know, the research shows that these change the least over a lifetime. They also don't change much after certain illnesses that can alter the reliability of other forms of biometrics.

I agree with this. I would be willing to contribute to an internet book database. My wife and I have significant science fiction holdings, and could probably populate entire sub-genres.
Great sig. But if your junk filter is *perfect*, you will get a 404:Page Not Found.

No to be blunt, but you have been taken. You need to switch cell companies ASAP. With the price competition in cell services, there is no reason for you to put up with that. I have voicestream, and I get a signal in my house, and everywhere else that I ever go. And the non-existent long distance charges have more than paid for the service.
>religions are defined, old, and well documented.....
Sure, but this means that religions were once, vague, young, and poorly documented (oral histories as transmitter of wisdom).
Kind of makes you wonder what the *real difference* is between Scientology (bunch of nutcases) and other *religions*. For the true believers (of old religions, that is) I presume the difference is more than one of chronological pedigree.
I agree with you. An institution's reputation for allowing plagiarism will devalue the worth of all degrees awarded by it.
I find it intriguing that slashdot -- a forum for technically savvy people -- doesn't applaud the *application* of technology to solve a problem that would otherwise rely on purely subjective judgment by often biased teachers and professors.
The only things I don't like are the copyright treatment of the papers contained in the database, and the fact that the website/server complex that houses it is probably insecure. What a "honeypot", hacking the database so that it gives false positives or negatives.
Well, speaking of "higher" education, here in Virginia (USA), high school students are forced to take the *Standards Of Learning* exam, before they are able to graduate.
The media keep referring to it as the SOL test, without a hint of irony.
Of course, as a "crude" Canadian, since my high school days SOL has meant "shit out of luck".
