This really is very funny. I believe you are an American, having skimmed through your most recent journal entry and your listed home page. But come on, you've got to be pretty reasonably informed, what with your journal the the home page.
Or maybe you are one of those "dangerous Canadians" that we've secured our borders against:-)
The heads of Executive Departments are called Secretary with a capital S. And there is no CIO. If you were pointing out that as part of the humor(1) Conservatives seem to forget that government isn't a business supposed to be efficient as a protection against tyrrany, (2) the current administrations, conservative libertarians with a little l seem to think that the goverment is a business or (3) that Bush couldn't come up with anyone's correct title except for maybe his own or Condie's, than mea culpa!

Trickle down economics refers to the largess of the wealthy making its way to the poor. Trickle down is more akin to a corpulent slum lord standing on the roof of a building spraying his or her urine on everyone and everything, feeling self-satisfied that they've watered and fertilized the plants and provided drinking water for the poor.
Go ahead and mod me off topic if you like or a troll or inflammatory, but just think about it for a moment.I'm trying to make a serious point.
How about from the universal health care that the Bush administration wants to pay for in Iraq when there's no way they'd want a program like that for Americans? Or the additional $80 billion authorization for the next year in Iraq and Afganistan for military operations (you know, 1/80th of that)? Or defunding the religious groups getting government dollars? Or scaling back the tax break for the wealthiest 1% of Americans by, oh, say, $714 each (for the high end at $2 billion)?
Or maybe NOT cap penalties that the government take from business that do wrong like Tyco, Worldcom, Microsoft, etc. where the monetary punishment is less than the taxes they would have paid had they done things above board?
If only we could give back 1 of the B2 bombers that the Republican Congress pushed through when the DOD and Air Force wanted to kill it off, that would pay for somewhere between 2 and 4 repair missions. In roughly 1992 dollars.
For some reason, many of these pads have "tap for click" turned on.
Yea, they should. For someone with a real inability, it's easy to turn off. The only times I've had trouble with a touchpad are: Toshiba's terrible software interface for the touchpad and a Kapok OEM notebook where the touchpad was offset just a hair. Typing on the Kapok caused these random cursor movements because my hand would brush the touchpad.
"This brings me to my overall question: is the censorship that real, that hard to get around, and how do you do it? What methods and technologies are you aware of or use to circumvent the Great Firewall of China?"

Actually, you are wrong. With default settings, it does in fact work on a fully patched Win2K system. I tested *THIS* fuly patched Win2K system. Turning off ActiveX however prevents the exploit. Perhaps you have ActiveX disabled already (a good idea) and not even annonying mostly unless your bank/vendor/etc is a bunch of jerks and requires it.
BTW, 5.00.3700.100 isn't up to date for Win2K. That's IE 5.x. That would be 6.0.2800.1106.
Let me start by disclosing that I served in the US Nuclear Navy.
I would imagine that there are areas where he is carried (warm and cold) that could do without more heat going their way.
Regardless, the amount of heat dumped into the local river from cooling that nuke plant greatly outways the the possibly increased heat in another area because the heat is now dumped there when coverted by a windy turbine(s) there.
Is Karl Rove now posting to this board? Here we are getting wrapped up in a debate about wind turbines not allowing as much heat to disappate as letting the wind flow. The real story here is that those Nuke plants, while not producing anywhere near as much short term damage, baring accident, as a coal or natural gas fired plant, dump far more heat into the atmosphere than a large scale wind farm. The article states that if 1/10th of the global electrical production was wind, it's effects would be 1/5 that of carbon dioxide it replaced.
And what about the heat output of a nuke plant. Anyone every been near one? Warm water growing seasons in rivers through the winter or warm water water dumped in a frigid river at the wrong time of the year. That has major climate effects. It can also cause major damage in the short term when power plant cooling water is withheld and the river is adjusted to the higher temperatures in winter such as when the surrounding river temperature is 35-40 f but the area at the plant and downstream for 1/2 mile ranges from 50-75 f. Shut off the warm water for a day or too and that 75 plunges to 35 faster than the animals can cope, killing them or disrupting their cycles.
I mentioned Karl Rove earlier. Legislation requiring something like this in his world would be called something like "Healthy Planet Initiative". I can foresee them (yes them) argue that wind power power is a destructive force because it heats the planet so more coal and nuke plants get built with great taxpayer subsidies.
Given the current administration in Washington, with it's pro energy industry culture, I think it will be very difficult to get alternatives adopted in any largescale way, with or without increased government incentives. Huge dollars annually are paid in subsidies to the energy companies and will as well be for any new plants the Bush administration wants. If these same dollars were spent just on incentives (rebates, buydowns, tax breaks) for small scale, grid intertied installations, the government could assist or pay for home and commercial building roof installs, sufficient to increase power generation capacity to make up the shortfall that we now experience.
Besides, a more distributed power infrastructure is inherently more secure for the country. It's also less expensive to maintain when including security costs and environmental/cleanup costs. When you further consider that if a wind farm or your neighbors solar roof gets blown up, there are no real environmental consequences other that largely litter and someone being homeless. When a nuke plant or a coal plant gets blown up, you have radiation or coal dust. And you don't need to station soldiers to guard the roof.
It surely can't be long now before we're all streaming the latest blockbuster movies to our laptops on the commuter train home?"
Especially in the US it can take quite a while to deplay. Since this likely will end up with service providers, you surely don't expect that they would offer the maximum bandwidth for short change do you? Likely, it would be metered or used for last mile, since interconnecting landline circuits would be a lot slower.
After all, Skylab was a pioneering space "device" (for lack of a better term) and we let that fall back down to Earth.
We didn't "let" Skylab fall back to Earth, unless you consider orbital decay about 18 months early and a delayed space shuttle that was to push it back up letting.
Bollocks. Always have at least one spare drive with RAID 5. A client's colo'd box had 2 drives go at the same time. Blech. No degraded mode then. Then were backing up nightly fortunately so they lost only about 12 hours.
Or like Electric Boat: lay out a couple thousand shipyard workers in '91 and give a bonus to the CEO equal to their salary. When they're in the red? I can't point you too a link but I was on a new con boat at the time and witnessed it.

If it prevents MS software users running on something like Wine, it does affect people who are their customers.
VoIP is based on UDP, and does not easily vork over TCP.
VOIP is not a protocol. SIP and the like are protocols. Not all protocols used for VOIP are UDP. Inter-Asterisk eXchange or IAX is TCP.

How's about incorporating FTP over SSH? I'm only aware of SecureFX doing this in the Windows world.
Yea, so after you shoot them in Texas, drag them across the threshhold and put a spork in their hands.

Anyone who's been in the military that portable mean the thing's got a handle. Like a 300 pound radio set.
