Now maybe its just me... But this seems like saying to a debt collector "this bit of string is worth the $50k I owe you". Just because we can assign any value we want to a coin, does that really mean that we owe aren't going to demand a meaningful payment. Even if we just use it as a way to print more money we devastate the value of our own money. So what happens if they say well since your money is worth 50 times less, we are going to demand 50 times more of it in repayment....
I make no claim at understanding this but that is what it sounds like to me, Average Joe on the street. Just because you say its worth something, doesn't mean anyone has to or will agree on its value, Gold based money had that going for it as i recall, but we stopped backing money with real stuff some time ago.
Could be wrong, but I always thought that the 1st Amendment stated you had the freedom of speech in so much that it does not impede or infringe upon the rights of others. In the same way that Libel and Slander is technically not protected free speech, neither is the raising of a false alarm.
And to go off on a tangent of a footnote it also means you cant barge into private gatherings or the like and protest things as it infringes on others rights to privacy. As the internet is a sort of gray area in most legal frameworks (probably since most law makers barely know how to work email and probably think its a system of tubes) Its mostly considered a public forum of sorts. Although if you posted false alarms or threats etc, I'm fairly sure the authorities will come knocking sooner or later...
Out of morbid curiosity.... if its thin and flexible, wouldnt it just kill you from blunt force trauma instead? Even with a kevlar vest its like getting hit with a hammer. Just deflecting a round will still impart large amounts of energy and force into you.
Ewar planes are already a standard part of navy airwings. From what I read in the article it seems like a natural evolution from simple jamming which denies the enemy use of their radar equipment to making it work to our advantage. When you jam all the radars in 250 miles from your position, they may not know exactly where you are but they sure as hell know your inbound. On the other hand if their radar is showing a wing of freindly planes returning or a massive wing of enemy planes where there are none its gonna make things even harder on them.
Simply put "dont break it, take it".
I was always given to understand that when it comes to Wine in Linux the trick to containing Windows virus infections revolves around ROOT. If the "fake" windows install is infected it will run the virus or try to. But this should only become a problem for the actual Linux system should wine be running with root privileges. That is what I've always understood though i admit to being a relative novice in Linux still.
However that said I don't know enough of the nuts and bolts, I would suppose that might only apply to virus that is attempting to hijack the Linux system specifically. I'm guessing it might be possible for the windows virus to work with in the confines of wine and request access to the Linux resources in the same way as say an online game in wine gets access to the internet.
I think the real point is electronic voting machines make the not so simple task of election rigging into something that is literally push button simple. It only takes one person with physical access to a single voting machine to change the outcome of a national election.
Perhaps you should read what happened to the makers of Hellgate elsewhere in here as they ended up shutting down because they used the business plan. I really don't see this system translating well here in the USA, and especially not for start up and indie game makers who cant afford a single screw up lest they end up like flagship studios.
Honestly I would feel cheated if they gave me half a game and said for a small additional fee you can have those bits we left out. Its kinda like buying a hamburger and having them give you a beef patty then after several more transactions you finally have what you thought you where getting when you first got hungry and shelled out.
I recently read in one of the various networking magazines i get that Canada is testing out the idea of owning the last mile. The idea is that they built several houses where they set up fiber lines from the backbone to the houses and included the price of it at something like $2,700 total to OWN the fiber section and give them a choice of any ISP on the backbone for the actual net services. They are even allowed to lease out bandwidth from their own fiber if they want. It comes from the fact that the ISP doesn't profit from the last mile usually. This needs to go into practice now as far as I'm concerned. I believe the magazine was this months Networking World. I will look into finding a link if I can.

I forget, is OMG a subsidiary of Ontario Mega Finance Group? Silly Canadians, Hungery is for europeans.

Wait I need to get a real life to spend time on slashdot!? When did that happen!? I reject your reality and substitute my own!
