Thats really the reason why people dont use encrypted e-mail.. Nobody can make it free and simple without any hassle.
We already have a OpenSource friendly CA StartCom. http://www.startcom.org/ It would be nice is Mozilla included them and if Thunderbird automaticaly generate "Idenity unverified" certs for its e-mail users.
I dont know, maybe its not possible.. still it would be nice to shut down Verisign.
Your not comparing apples to apples here. Even if it does, are the same services such as tested being run.. is the quality the same? What part of the health system are you talking about and are you taking self pay or insurance co. paying?
Our heavily regulated healthcare system is anything but a free market system so it does not even apply. Government mandates what insurance has to cover and what practices need to be followed and yet again on what treatments are available.
You may remember a story that came out this week about a dentist creating dentures in his garage for a few hundred dollars, people were paying him knowing they were illegal and cheep, and he was willing to do the work. Yet even black market "health care" is not even government free because there are legal risks involved that would drive up the cost as well.. however it is somewhat closer. If he was willing to sell dentures on the black market illegally for $600 you might expect that it can be done by the free market for maybe even half of that.
When the government scrwes up.. It's not their fault.. they are almost impossible to sue or hold accountable.. and its only because they dont have enough funding.. naturally.;-) We need to give them more money and build a bigger better Jet Database.
Without government there would be no corporations. The Laws are created to protect large and rich business and to let them avoid responsibility. This is not a "free market" at all. This is a government regulated and influenced market, where laws are created that help big business and hurt small business.
If government works so well why not let it take over every business there is? Its because government stinks.. Government business are run like the Post Office and the DMV with a bunch on non caring unmotivated bureaucrats who wont loose there job no matter what happens. Innovation will stop because there will be no profit in making a better system at all.. Government is bare bones, one size fits all crap. Its like Soviet government cars. How many people have ever told you Yugos are the best cars!
You forgot that after you teach him to fish you need to get him a fishing license and then he cant fish where he lives because not only is it illegal but the water is polluted by the local government water "treatment" plant that is exempt from environmental laws.. so he needs to go out to the country to fish but public transportation wont take him there.. and even when he gets there government stocks the lake so its catch and release fishing only. By this time hes done and starved to death.
There is no service that the government provides that is cheaper than a private industry could provide.
Also, when you do this, you turn over control of all e-mail, all content viewed on a website, all media transmitted, and even what websites are viewable at all.. to the government. This is a VERY bad move.
The machines are designed to destroy our vote not.. make it faster, better or any of that other nonsense.
The "paper trail" part of the electronic is also fraud. Even with a paper trail the machine can just mark the wrong vote on the paper trail too.
The very best way to do this is with machine readable paper ballots. You mark it with your pen, the machine reads it, and the ballot goes into a locked box.. if there is a problem we can later open the box and count.
The American people don't want this.. the only people you hear support it are politicians. People refuse to use them, fill out a provisional, complain, leave, move, do whatever it takes.
With the patriot act, suspension of habeas corpus, the 4th and 5th amendments destroyed, REAL ID on the horizon, the government scanning all e-mail and building CCTV's and other massive spy systems George Orwell could only dream of, and electronic crowd dispersement weapons..
Hell, the terrorists barley needed to fire a shot.. We took care of the rest all on our own.
Why are you hung up on terms? Fine we will call him a ruler.. or perhaps you prefer the term leader. By what authority does he assume power over other men? Also what happens to people who disagree with him, do they go to jail?
The size color and shape of a hat does not give any man the right to control other men. I Don't care what you call them.
Your type really piss me off.. the too smart type.
Your right about the Hitler thing. I am mistaken, yet you do not attempt to counter any of my other points. So I should assume they are correct then ehh?
In the/. style I say YOU LOOSE! Muhahaha!.. err.. umm.. ?? ( >_> ) Yeah
Oh.. well then did Hitler not have stuport of his nation? Why did they follow him then? Did not the cops who were "just following orders" go and arrest the Illegal Jews in front of other germans who said nothing? After all its the law and the laws are a good thing... right?
I better support Hugo Chavez then because hes a "good" Dictatior.
The project is getting a lot of flack over possible safety problems from green groups. "So! `Dis is soviet russia.. who give shit about "green group" send them to Siberia to study earthworm!"

The PROBLEM is this government you fool.

7. Give us freedom so people dont go to jail for kissing.

Government rocks!

This means the end of the telecom business in India and gives the government there total control of every e-mail sent, every web site visited.
This is very bad news for freedom in the world.
inflation is a bitch ehh.. soon they will cost $200

Loosing means loosing our freedom.

Hea man, the 2.2 is still out there as lean and mean as ever.
I say that as I think 2.2 provides really good speed vs. supported hardware.
Because this is MY country.
And we are moving somewhere.. New Hampshire.
I see no problem with this.. if the people in europe will submit to a socialist government then they should have their liberty taken away.
Same thing will happen here once we elect Obama.
Thats fine.. the students the DO take math and finish such a hard subject will be all the more respected and valuable.
A law?
You want to fight government oppression with government? good luck..
Somalia.. as there is no government. haha.

It does not *MATTER* if they want him. A majority of Americans "Want" Bush too.
A majority can oppress the hell out of a minority and it can be totally wrong.

He's my kind of ruler.. FUCK YEA!
Ahh.. the good old days.. j/k
This is fud.. Microsoft has not even seen the iPhone so they don't know WHAT it can do.
;-)
Take my word for it.. due to my job.. I get one first once they put out the test models.
Yeah, Symbian and Palm (garnet) both have Office reading and writing programs so I would not be suprised if the iPhone got one.
Speaking of Symbian its far better than Windows Mobile is right now.
