that's an interesting one... shaped nuclear charge? but if you remember the discussion on nukes for civil engineering, the biggest problem with nukes is that we cannot anticipate their effects accurately enough. so let's use two nukes, one on the station (which has been propelled far away) and another one in between us and the station. --

the whole point of our checks and balances system is to be inefficient. the govt isn't supposed to be able to get anything accomplished efficiently because then either one branch would have too much power or the citizens wouldn't be able to counteract govt action they did not approve of. a politician who wants to make things more efficient either has his heart in the right place or wants to stomp us like the little insects we are.
John Rocker stated that he doesn't like to ride the Subway because of all the gays with aids and the foreigners.

if the ram went 'bad' in the first place, what's to stop even more pages from not being usable while the machine is turned on? Does anyone else think this is a remarkably bad idea? At the very least it'll require reboots until less and less of the memory is available. Is the money saved by buying good ram worth the frustration of having to boot/fsck the machine at random? Am I the only one who thinks this is another case of "we did it because we could, not because it's a good iea"? It's not even a good example of that type of thinking...

Harry Browne's article (the link was posted yesterday) about why you should vote (for him)? If you don't vote, you're going to get raped. And no one will care because you didn't do anything to stop it. There is a serious difference between passive resistance (refusing to do your job, refusing to you leave your location, etc) and not doing anything. Not doing anything is not a political statement, no matter how romantic you want it to be. Everyone who does vote will get their way, and their policies will exclude the lazy fuckers who didn't vote.
I like the Discovery article because it quotes A. Urken, one of my social studies professors =)
All Tristan needs is a copy of slashcode, a high capacity server, lots of bandwidth, and a decent moderation system. And even then, the truth will be hard to get out to everyone, it doesn't work all the time right here on slashdot. And one man's truth (Linux 0wnz J00) is another's falacy (I tell you FreeBSD is the civilized man's OS).
The voting protocol is flawed, so are alot of things that the politicians are clamoring that they want to fix. The problem is, the current electoral system is a game that's well understood, while the full ramifications of other systems aren't well known. When the stakes are this high, no one likes to play a game with untested rules.
There is no excuse for not voting, even if you think your vote won't count. Think of all the people who think their vote won't count, and imagine if they voted for Nader. --

almost nothing Harry Browne says makes any sense, I think Libertarianism is close to anarchy, but did you read that article where he was talking about social security? I'm thinking of printing it out and passing it around on campus. At the very least it makes you think, which is more than Gore or Bush have done... They make you not want to think, they put you to sleep. And while I'll still vote for Nader, it's always good to hear something that's "diametrically opposite" to what you prefer, if only to refresh my understanding of what the situation is. --
