My previous post drew fire... What about instead of letting federal government fund internet access, and instead of using cybercafes, we let the feds fund books while the communities fund the net access? That way different communities can have different policies? Remember the story about social life in Utah? Some guy said something about how like minded people tend to live together, and that's the advantage to a democracy of America's size? Bible belt people can throw in censorship while liberal towns won't worry about it. It may be wrong, but at least it'd be localised, democratic, and the Feds would stay out of it. --

not giving libraries funding for internet access and letting them focus on books? It's a thought, ne? I mean, you can't just sit in front of a monitor and read all day, right? Alot of us do that as part of our jobs or hobbies, but come on, if we're doing recreational reading, we'd rather not be in front of a glaring radiating monitor right?
let cybercafes handle easy community net access... it'd open jobs to people or some such nonsense. this way people who need quick net access or have to do research or something can hit up a cybercafe and not bother the people reading for fun and stuff. plus they get up to date machines and can deal with people who know what they're doing. --

The NSA has to report to someone right? If they spy on foreignors while the FBI spies on Americans, the thing kinda looks like
NSA->State Dept
FBI->DOJ
Well there has to be some sort of oversight such that
(diagram removed because it was 'lame')
And I'm sure that oversight can coordinate a little information exchange between the NSA and the DOJ. I'm of the opinion that there is no NSA backdoor in Windows, because it would have been found and exploited by now. I think it's just some European nationalism thrown in to cover up the fact that someone in the IT dept. fucked up and now they need an alternative.
It's fairly obvious where Deutsche Telekom hails from, but I didn't know Siemans was a German company... I suppose asking them to use NSA Linux is out of the question =) Anyone have any insight into what design decisions they'll be making? --

Yes, the sentence "but who defines 'spammers'" was missing a '?'. The idea is, if you make spamming punishable by a bullet to the back ot the head, it won't be long before other bills come along changing the definition of spamming. So chill with the excessive punishments...

But then who defines 'spammer'. Spammers, imo, are people who disagree with the federal government. Come on, spammers aren't rapists or pedophiles or deadbeat dads.
Junk mail isn't life threatening. Just make it illegal to forge headers, and when spammers are forced to use regular headers, we can filter them that much more easily. And then it won't be so bad, right? --
