I still think they should all be produced on open source platforms on publicly owned hardware. Everyone can see the code, so no one can cry about it later.
I don't think you will have any trust in the system unless you have transparency.
I have always thought that those machines should be open source so that everyone can see the source code. This would reduce any cries of fraud.
just a thought
The idea that more jobs are going to go overseas because companies are being sued for not complying with the law is a little silly at best. Companies will try to outsource where it makes sense to their bottom line, and if they haven't outsourced it already, it probably doesn't make sense to.
The article says that these laws were designed to create more jobs so that employers wouldn't work a few poor bastards to death and instead divide out the same work load to a larger number of people.
I like this, and I hope companies respond to this threat with a better compensated work force. You should get paid for what you do and companies should have to comply with the law.
I like this idea and I wonder why it isn't being used. I wonder if these machines should also have a publicly accessible source code so that the way they work would also be transparent. I guess there would be security concerns, but at least we would know that they started out honest. If the machines are not networked, the idea of an outside hacker being able to affect enough of them doesn't seen that likely.

This will help when I build my girlfriend. :)

We need a time machine and the problem is solved.
So that is how the clover field monster was created.
Does this mean I have to stop buying porn over the internet?
