To replace the fucked up SSN system with something that really works. Now if only they can get it right this time and make this a secure, government only thing.

Each insurer should publish what they cover electronically in such a way that a single connection to a single claims settlement system will allow all claims to be resolved in one pass. Otherwise it takes hours of my time, my wife's time and the doctor's support staff time to get things approved and paid for. That would be a great step toward better efficiency.
You can't just go from card to super-card, it should have been to better-card then maybe even-better-card and only then to super-card. Otherwise you soon get to ultra-card and you're stuck because sensible people wont want to carry anything with the words super-duper-ultra-mega-great card emblazoned on it.
It's going to get very bored after the first 4 minutes. Seriously, this really highlights to me just how little content there is out there, and how much of the internet must be people fetching the same old things over and over. If there is that little content and that much capacity then maybe the content owners can justify reasonably high fees. I don't mind paying a reasonable fee to access something, I mostly abhor not being able to access things like out of print books and music to suit my arcane tastes. By all means charge for access to content, but allow access in a flexible way in return.
I think the user can choose to change that. I'm not inclined to view this as a moral issue, after all someone blessed with lower latency can make more requests per second. And I'm not inclined to view it as a technical problem because I think it's likely that that most servers are more limited by network capacity than by ability to service connections because memory appears to have gotten cheaper more quickly than internet speed has become cheaper.
most of this technology's advantages will be used to improve life for the Telcos (by squeezing more subscribers per cell) than for improving life for the user.
also have reason to prevent scope creep to contain support costs. Firefox may well be easier to support than IE, but IE alone will be easier to support than IE+FF.
OK, I admit it's mostly an experiment for me to see what happens, but I also took offense to the endless popups from the McAfee software that was installed on my netbook when I purchased it.
I don't tend to read email on the machine so it's not too susceptable to a bad attachment. I do download OSS goodies like Gimp, but I tend to only get them from places I trust, like sourceforge. I do use windows update. So I'll find out in a year or so if I really should have used the anti-virus. I suspect that the machine is faster without it and quite frankly I don't think I felt that using it removed all risk from malware.
I operate the PC from behind a firewall so right now I suspect the biggest threat is from infected usb thumb drives.
The issue is not so much funding the drugs (after all, it's just water) it is funding the practitioners that prescribe them. Why should the British taxpayer pay for a homeopathic specialist to deliver the placebo when...
any doctor can prescribe a placebo and/or
these remedies are inexpensive and people can go buy them themselves, increasing the possible placebo mojo
from Benjamin Crowell. I liked it so much I payed for a printed copy from lulu. It seems to me that these are the textbooks of the future, not created by school boards, but chosen by individual teachers from a wealth of free or low-cost online material. If you don't like textbooks, write one, publish it online and at lulu and give teachers the right to choose their own materials for teaching.
Screw immunity. Do we get the right to use the term "registered anarchist" or "licensed to rebel" on our business cards, or otherwise use licensed logos and other trademarks pertaining to rebelliousness from the state of South Carolina ? I could look so cool if this initiative has a half-way decent logo. I mean, not as cool as if California or Texas had done it, but cooler than I look now.
I have yet to hear any corporation speak, or communicate in any way. It always needs people to do that on its behalf. I say when the corporation itself, with no people to help it can speak on its own then it should be free to do so.

Maybe he had some legitimate businesses too, it's hard not to obey at least some laws.

Well he had to, it's well known that excesses of Adamandtite in the system can lead to urges to smash windows.
Some processors may have big enough register sets that malware could reside entirely within the CPU.
What is it that you're programming that can't be done with scratch ?

If you're trying to load 1,000 elements of a complex webpage in series, yes. In parallel, not so much.

The CRS-1 look ahead of its time; 3x speed increase over 6 years. And is that really keeping up with internet growth ?
that it seems possible to defend against these attacks with a software change, for example validating the result before sending it.

sounds like an improvement to me
about so many groups using the same toolkit is that if you find a weakness in the toolkit then you can clear up multiple attacks all at once.
oh - and France of course, being secular.
