Ummm the republicans had nothing to do with it. Remember the name Tipper Gore? She started the whole music censorship movement, and guess what party she was for?
How about we put a camera in your living room. You don't have anything to hide so whats the big deal?
The level of abuse is too great. Whats to stop the person on the other end of the camera from saying "hey I hate that guy, lets say he looks like Rapist X and send over some police."
If your country has such a bad problem with crime that constant surveillance is needed on the population then you should look at the bigger social problem.
I value my freedom too much to give in to constant surveillance.
This just how it begins. Soon it will be like england with cameras on every street corner and highway. After that whats to stop them from being placed in apartments? houses? bathrooms? showers? After all if you are innocent then whats the big problem?
The sad part is most people feel 'safe' with someone watching them. Its just one step closer to big brother watching you. I would advise people to fight back now and hold up big posters with sayings like "FU" or "GOATSE.CX" to these cameras.
It all comes down to what price you put on freedom. Ben Franklin said it best:
"Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."
No money is exchanged when you download mp3s or watch pr0n. As for software the last thing I bought was quake in 1996 when it first came out. Applications have real uses, without the everquest game what you bought is meaningless. A piece of software can run on many computers and does a specific job. Buying a charcter or item is just a useless piece of data.
And look at it this way, what are you buying? Nothing. Its not tangible or visible in real life. Thats like me selling you a jar of air from mount everest. Why don't those people get a life instead of blowing tons of money on something that isn't even real.
Just wait until you need a new liver or heart transplant, then you'll be wishing they could just clone you a new one. One of the benefits of cloning is making replacements parts, not entire humans.
Because I endorsed a microsoft product and pointed out a flaw in the well liked quicktime. Maybe people should consider the features of a program instead of who makes it.
Marconi only had patents for a receiver or transmitter (I forget which) anyhow they decided that since tesla had both a way of receiving and transmitting he should get the patent.
No way in hell are you going to hold a.50 cal BMG barrel down to a piece of wood with duct tape. Theres not even a chamber for the bullet! After the 300 round magazine I kind of got the joke. If you need that much firepower its time for something belt fed. Although a 300 round clip would be handy when those pesky UN troops invade my compound.
I'd take a 50 year old broadcast quality turntable and the associated tube amp over any crappy digital source. Digital just means loss, something was lost during the 44.1 or 96khz sampling rate. Then we deal with jitter correction and the quality of the DAC, etc etc.
I think it would be funny as hell to climb up the pole the camera is on and hold up a sign saying "F U DOUCHEBAG!". I wonder what they could arrest me for. Kind of like refusing to show the guy at compusa your sales receipt.
According to a recent show on the discovery channel those streetcorner cameras have people who watch for wanted criminals. Whats to stop the person from saying "hey thats the asshole who cut me off this morning, lets say he looks like rapist X and have the police arrest him"
If your country has that much of a crime problem maybe its time you looked for a deeper underlying social issue. Now let me quote Jim Quinn's liberalism law "Liberalism always generates the opposite of its stated intent"
You really think US troops would fire on their own people? Thats where your argument fails. It would have to be direct loyal followers of the person in power and that would still require a huge number of people.

Looks like someone should have patented CVS. Oh well looks like you're fucked. Too bad Symantec can afford to throw millions of dollars at this.
Get a real unix box. Any true unix box will default to using the first serial port when no keyboard is present. This holds true for Sun/HP/DEC/SGI/.

Thats just a few, to prove a point. Open your eyes.
What happens when a pond gets overcrowded with fish? Pretty soon they start to die off from lack of food leaving a small population again.
Answer this question: Can the world support an infinite number of people?
Its justified because thats how nature works. Its not just africans with aids either, its the whole planet.
Sam Kinison had a good joke about world hunger "YOU LIVE IN A FUCKING DESERT! NOTHING GROWS HERE THERES NO FOOD. MOVE TO WHERE THE FOOD IS."
Have them stop fucking monkeys too, its disgusting. I hope AIDS kills everyone in africa, the world is overcrowded as it is.

Another interesting link is the files that FBI supposedly has collected.

Have a look at the DEC DNARD cluster at http://www.cs.utah.edu/~danderse/dnard/setup/
I would love to have one of these boxes but it seems intel killed them pretty quickly.

Do you live in europe? Do loud noises and fire scare you? How about potato guns? Just remember, the word 'weapon' is relative.
kind of dickhead are you? get a life you fucking loser. I can't believe you would waste more than a minute posting a reply.
