  4. Tech Nation Interview on William Gibson on his Tech Life and Latest Novel · · Score: 5, Informative

    There's also a pretty good interview with
    Gibson on Tech Nation here

  5. Saving Oregon taxpayers money on More on Oregon and GPS-tracked Gas Taxes · · Score: 1

    A good start to saving Oregon taxpayers money would be to get rid of the "Road User Fee Task Force".
    Then if that doesn't save enough, just raise the gas taxes. This system is already in place and it places the tax burden on those who put the most wear and tear on the roads, the BIG HEAVY gas guzzlers.

  6. C and C++ are the problem on Why Do Computers Still Crash? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Don't allow people to use languages that allow you to access memory not assigned to you or to access array positions that don't exist. This would fix 95% of software problems.

  7. Re:Figures are off on IPv6 Application Competition - win $10,000 · · Score: 1

    I just checked 2003.02.10 04:22:21 GMT and 1,000,000.00 Japan Yen = 8,305.604 USD so the prize seems to be decreasing as we discuss it.

  8. Journalistic Conflict of Interest on Conspiracy Theorists, Meet The Moon · · Score: 1

    Looks like this Marcus Allen might be worried that sales of his Nexus magazine might decrease if actual proof of a human moon walk were accepted by his readers.

  9. Re:Balance Vs. thresholds on Keeping Balance with Vibrating Shoes · · Score: 2, Informative

    Yes, I read the NewScientist Article also. It seems that the random noise signal coming from the vibrating feet ocassionally makes the signals from the foot to the brain large enough to overcome a threshold they were not able to overcome without the noise. Since these signals are used for balance, this makes better balance possible.

  10. 10 electrons in H20 on Water Computing · · Score: 2, Informative

    So it is not exactly true that they
    are computing without electrons.

  11. Screen on What Accessibility Options Exist for Unix? · · Score: 1

    Screen, the full screen window manager has built-in support for several common braille displays. Many distributions ship with screen and so are very accessible from a terminal. If you want to know more about screen's accessibility features, see this page .

  12. Re:Ballot Measure on Who Wants To Be An Oregonian? · · Score: 1

    I don't see where the pc requirement is that much of a burden, but I would need to actually price out a system for this purpose to be able to really tell. As for the other objection, we could further enable the system to have the option of checking NCIC to see if that person is currently wanted and if so, then all his information will automatically be available without a warrant.

  13. Ballot Measure on Who Wants To Be An Oregonian? · · Score: 1

    In Oregon the citizens can pass laws and change current laws using ballot initiatives. I propose a new law along the following lines. First we issue everyone a smart card as mentioned in post #2623667 Then we restrict access to the new database to police only. The database cannot be used for any economic purposes such as check verification or mass mailings etc. Each time the police access the database, we record that access and make it available to the person whose record it is. Further we restrict access to all personal information such as name and address to those who have a search warrant and a key issued by a judge to access that single record. Without a warrant, the only thing the database will be able to do is verify that you have a valid drivers licence and it will show your photograph so that police can verify your identity.
