There is still a considerable percentage of the population that has no internet access
Thats very true, I was thinking more in terms of the people who do have access abusing it, as opposed to those who do not have access not being able to use it.
Again, for those who do have the network access, how hard would it be to get multiple varying digital signatures? Is it as easy as getting multiple email accounts?
Sure the implications of allowing a larger voice from a community are there, when considering the amount of ppl using the internet, but what about all the trolls, (l)users, and other moronic types....
Yes, I undestand all that, however the problem with building a retnal scanner to work at a distance that far has several flaws in itself.
Primarily, getting the person your scanning to remain stationary long enough to get the scan (i dunno how long those scans take) and also getting them to look at the scanner to begin with.
I'm not even going to begin to question how much it would cost to get something like that either....
hmm...maybe i should get out of the electronics field some and go into law. Then (with any luck) I could handle cases like these and be a lawyer who actually understood what the trial is about...
Think it would work, or does becoming a lawyer require you to drop your logic and reasoning to a very low degree?

Censorship In China

· Score: 1
your statements are true, yes, and no, i hadn't researched it that much and thats why i dont have the facts to back it up and it is mainly my speculations.
However there was a bit run in the news inregards to clintons funding coming from china. thats where i started my speculations from....
So my question for you is: "is there anyone running for office now that doesn't support china?"
Forewarning, this is all IMHO and I don't have any facts to back it up, however these are some conclusions myself and others who were talking about this have came to...
First of all, the reason why the US politics is so involved with China:
The Clinton Administration recieved large amounts of funding from China during (the early part?) of his campain. Now after denying this as an influence, China has a large influence on the Presidents reputation and standing. Blackmail is a possibility. Another could be the alleged rumors of Clintions involvment with communism and his views on it. I know not what these are, but perhaps its something he believes in and is working toward. Or I could just be talking out of my ass.
China, while not nessicarily a *rich* country overall, does have some wealth, at least in its government. A highly contraverial possiblity is that while we may not like/agree with china, we do have the possiblity to make money off of these deals....though I believe that it would cost us more in the long run
Censorship:
What about it...they're a comunist country, they control the media just as business controls ours (USA). Our governemt is influenced by other governments and business and in a since is just another big business. With enough money, you can make damn near anything happen....
Sorry if I went really OT
and don't flame me for my spelling i know it sucks.
I know i feel safer seeing as how the millitary computer systems are (approx.) 95% NT systems. The other 5% are 95/98 systems. Mind you i'm not counting the DNS servers or anything of the like, nor special terminals. I'm only counting the standard office computer anyone/everyone uses.
...the american government can shut the fuck up and go back to banging interns in the oval office. The country cannot keep its own people fed, employed, or remotely cared for. Let the other countries take care of themselves. Let the 'Net go its own route, and worry about the people who need help instead of *possible* problems that are only spawned by large corporations with to much time and money already. (ie. RIAA, MPAA, need i continue?)
The day i can buy cd's for more like $10 as opposed to the average ~$20 (after tax) for a CD.
...that and the day i can actually find the cd's i want in a music store as opposed to having to special order stuff thats hard to find, or even just out of print....
...anyone here ever tried to find older Thrill Kill Kult, or KMFDM or Pig in your typical music store? 'Course I can buy all the copies of Brittany Spears and bad rap music i want, but that just makes me vomit:)
One system vs. 1 million systems is a big difference. Taking down government/mil systems adds to that. Then taking down e-commerce ups it even more.
Thats more the subject. However if a self propigating script were written and deleted mp3's off of systems with out doing further damage, how would it be taken?
Lets just hope RIAA dosen't get any ideas from that...shxt...now the MPAA is going to look for a way to script a virus to take out linux machines containing unauthorized DVD players.
As far as i know, the virus started out in Asia (somewhere) and made its way to Europe and now the US (Including many millitary installations as well).

Now i've got some insperation to get my MB mounted back in the case, set it all up, download the new lilo, and slap on Mandrake 7.1
No more boot partion, just 2 gigs for winblows, 4gigs for games, and 24 gigs for linux. Now i can finally check out the Rieser (sp?) File System. Good god, i've got that warm and tingly feeling.....
you can get the female sims to share the same bed and dream about each other and such....in fact the one chick left her husband for the other gal:) Some of us just have too much free time on our hands.
I too have had the 7.0 crash on installs, but that was only on one (maybe 2) computers, thats a result of a bug that was fixed for 7.0-2
Frequently Mandrake crashes at the shutdown, this occured in both 6.1 and 7.0 for me
The other problems you've mentioned though, i have not had any problems with personally, however some of them may very well be a result of a frankenstien system. Then again, my system is made from various parts as well.
its all a ploy by Bill Gates and that Reed guy to force the government force open-source software on the american public in order to further propigate the assimilation of true free software and replace it with M$ software manufacutred by the "Baby Bills" which will once again control the american subconcious through anti-competative forces, that will go unnoticed by the courts because of the M$ mindcontrol.
hehe, if i had a scanner that processed a bit faster than one page every couple minutes that could be feesible:)
though on a more serious note, i didn't know that those were legally feesible options, i'm not exactly a person well versed in the knowledge of copyrights and whats avalible as far as intelectual property and the restrictions there of

I hope I'm wrong
I have been in the minority for a long time in saying that Courtney Love is a great artist that even the caustic Bill Hicks would respect
Well, I wouldn't nessecarilly say i like her music, however she is a very talented artist. Bill Hicks though...i dunno..... :P
I have a lot of respect for Bill Hicks though too...really i'd like to hear is take on all this
in loving memory of Bill Hicks

WaxTrax! was a very artist supportive label...unfortunatly they filed chapter 13 and were bought out by TVT.

Wasn't the purpose to be a way to give new artists (and artists who support the mp3 movement)a way to get some publicity?
I know of several people have have bought the albums from these independent artists and it gives an alternative to paying $15-20 (USD) for a CD.
So where does the problem exist?
On the contrary, I use the preview pane and it was not triggered on my system...
...or maybe they took the mail server down prior to me noticing it being on my system....that would suck....

good luck people
Is it possible to install LILo prior to the actual install of the distro in order to take full advantage of this?
I'd like to be able to use more than 2 gigs when i begin the install, but if i'm on a clean HD, how do i use say, 5 gigs for / and go from there?
Now i've got some insperation to get my MB mounted back in the case, set it all up, download the new lilo, and slap on Mandrake 7.1
No more boot partion, just 2 gigs for winblows, 4gigs for games, and 24 gigs for linux. Now i can finally check out the Rieser (sp?) File System. Good god, i've got that warm and tingly feeling.....
....oops, thats my coffee
