Very interesting. In order to use real security and really strong crypto DOJ has to import crypto. This does not stop them from screaming about export restrictions though...
Try cards with 64 bit design or 64 bit oriented design - packet engines GigE, Tulip 100MB Ether, ITT SCSI, etc. Most of these are nightmare on 32 bit and kick ass on alpha and other 64 bit machines. I mean kick ass to the point when 32 bit machines are out of the question.
Very good point, though what exactly got screwed up is also of scientific interest. As well as the question of when was the screwed up code deployed: before M$ bought it or after?
Somewhere around the least known pages of one of the UN supported organizations (forgot which one) there are stats for: 1. How many policemen are per capita 2. How many people are in jail, on parole or forced to do unvoluntary labor (usually known as "community service").
These give a very good idea. Actually some of them were in a recent USA today as well.
They will happily confiscate the backup as well. Having a backup in another country may be a good idea.
It is not even a good idea it almost sounds like a good business to start in Australia, Northern Europe or somewhere else where the internet to the US is fast enough.
Pluses: 1. The endless nagging about who ate whose breakfast will stop Minuses: 1. A linux oriented company will inherit a descendant of the only Micorosft attempt to write Unix. See SCO docs for details. 2. Unfortunately 1 is not funny. Anybody who have tried to port something to SCO (especially the older versions) will say so...
You have forgotten the obligatory encryption backdoors and/or obligatory usage of DES as a standard (the fast hardware engine design for cracking it was published in 96).
Taxation info in all countries has always been available to "proper" authorities. And quite a lot of stuff is taxed for this reason, not for other reasons.
Onto my real point. How would they do that? Would ISPs be required to log all of the email messages that people send? This alone would be a huge task to put to ISPs that would cost them money. Second would be the issue of logging such emails from the standpoint of privacy.
Every c-mail everywhere in the world is logged (for "taxation" purposes). See no problem someone enforcing this on email. And your suggestion basically sais that we should all pity the US post office for having to maintain accurate accoutning records, while the ISPs should not. And none has ever raised any concerns (and remained alive and kicking) on privacy grounds here.
How would the taxes be collected? Would it be added on to the bill you pay your ISP, would it be put on your W2? What if your ISP was not your email provider (free email abounds)?
NO more free email.
Needless to say, I think that it would cost twice as much to manage the thing as it would gain in revenue.
So? Who cares about the dead fish
The other question that comes to mind is what about all of us who run Linux and Sendmail? I run my own sendmail and IMAP server on a dedicated connection. I am about to give a couple of friends account because they are moving. Would I be required to log the number of email that left my box (something I really don't know how or want to do), and then collect the money from them and me (something that I WON'T do).
Indeed you will. Being obliged by law. Since when an american has contradicted IRS;-)
This is a really bad idea IMHO. If someone would explain the logistics behind such a proposal, at least it could be debatable from an ethical/political standpoint as to whether or not it would be beneficial, but without any such logistics worked out, it's nothing . ..
The logistics are very simple. Any taxation information is accessible to the all kinds of agencies with three and four letter initials. As long as they have proved unable to control the matters otheriwse they can easily regain control using the taxation as an immediate threat
They will simply require ISP's to maintain "accurate" records of their mail transactions. And they will require this by law. It is as simple as cake;-)
This will allow them to require contol over email flow for taxation purposes. To remind you t he IRS in the US can suspend almost all of your civil rights if it likes to. Remember Al Capone?
The other applicatnts either look pathetic or are not as well known.
It is a pity because VoIP is a field where linux can and should rule. Why? the reason is obvious - because it is the only platform allowing development of the full spectrum of devices starting with consumer electronics (think StrongArm) and finishing with big switching gateway systems (think SGI or special architectures;-).
You forget that there are still people giving first aid to the dead corpse. For example it is still the language for commercial programming. Refer to http://sunscript.sun.com for example.
Why not just suggest "we have successfully reintroduced slavery". Just instead of importing lower quality"not quite people" from africa and asia you now import "lower quality" H1, J1 and other
Open immigration is not a solution. US has generated for itslef an absolutely invalid flare of being the best place in the world. The people who queue at the consulates have no bloody idea how looks Quins or Bronx at 3am (most americans have no idea as well).
As long as the b... propaganda machine continues to work there can be no talk about open immigration (unless the round trip ticket is 100% obligatory and enforced).

No point to be sorry, let's run the Mindcraft becnhmark again. And with 1GB Ethernets. They are 64 Bit ;-)

I have done some prteliminaries on non-interl arch and the results were very mindcrafting

Of course: try them under linux or BSD
