Normaly the FOI act is a good thing to protect the public. However in this case someone used that act or the NH state version thereof to do something troubling. I would like to know exactly what information they are going to filter out of these logs.
I think it may be time to write a few letters, any other NH residents here to join me in that?

There have been at least 2 and I think 3 times that the person who won the popular vote did not win. In 1876 and I think 1832 and again in 1888. In the 76 case there was some level of fraud involved.
The real reason we have never gotten rid of the electoral college is that for the last 100 years at least it has elected the person who got the most votes and thus has never pissed the nation off enough to warnent trying to change it.

By making people work 60+ hrs/week or hell even 50 you are mostly creating burnout. First of all most people can't do that forever, one week every few months sure, every week, no. And we are responsable for it as for years we have been willing to work 70 hr weeks without complaint or extra money.
I have a life thank you very much.

The FBI has been trying for years to get libraries to turn over records, Most of them will only keep records for what books you have out *NOW*. So they know to whom to send the "Please bring the book back" note. After you bring it back they delete the record.
Ask your librarian for your libraries rules. And if you don't want people to know what you buy, go to a store you don't go to often and pay cash.

You need to start thinking about Oxygen at about 10,000 to 12,000 ft, the FAR's require O2 to be used when cabin presure goes above 12,500 ft (simplification actualy) for small aircraft. At about 25,000ft the partial pressure of the O2 in your lungs goes bellow the pressure of the blood that is supposed to be absorbing it. you will pass out rather quicly at this altitude.
The full rules says that pilots have to use 02 when over 12,500 for more than 30 min or over 14,000 ft at all. It would probably be smart to use it from about 8,000 to 10,000 ft up.

NP complete problems are not very useful for crypto. It turns out that for many NP complete problems you can find a much faster solution that will work some of the time. All NP says is that in the *WORST* case senario it will be expontential time to solve. If you can come up with a polynomial time method that will work 75% of the time you have just broken the crypto system.

The computer I own (at home) came with 98 on it even though I had not asked for it or paid for it. The guy at the store told me that they just installed it to test the system. Which seemed reasonable to me. I formated it and put linux on it.

There is a world of difference between a court presuming you are guilty of something and MS putting up a web page saying something. MS can't put you in jail etc.
But yes it is a rather strange web add from MS.

Reliablity and configurability is in many ways more important. In all likelyhood with eather server setup you will run out of bandwidth before you run out of server. So it really becomes a question of what are your real needs. Spead is nice, but not everything.

I saw an interview the other day with Sec. Richardson, and he said something I didn't know, the world produces 73 million barrels of oil/day, and uses 75. And I live in the North East where a lot of people use oil heat to keep warm in winter.

But primary season around here was very exciting and dynamic. I met Senitor Bradley personaly and if I had wanted to could have probably met all the candates in both parties (and some of the 3rd parties). Here if you want to win you still have to go out and shake hands. I like it.

States do not give exemptions from EULA in the case of mass mailings. However US Postal regs say that anything that shows up in the mail that you did not ask for or order is a gift and comes with no restrictions of any sort.
Otherwise people could ship you expensive stuff and demand that you pay for it.

There is a major problem with the TCAD systems, not all aircraft have one. The Airliners do, but us GA Folks don't becaus the TCAD systems cost far to much, 50K+. Considering that many GA aircraft aren't worth that much it does not make much sense to do that. And in general the ATC system does a very good job of keeping people apart in the clouds. Must midairs happen in Visual weather around an airport.

Well try to not turn them off on programing. The PHB etc does reflect reality but that does not meen you should show it to HS students.
I think the best idea is to let them come up with something on their own. Throw out a few proto ideas and let them run with it. Let the kids with the best ideas play project lead.
And if you want a pro programer to play mentor I'm sure a number of us here on/. would be happy to help.

Would be to get your students used to working in groups and planning projects. If they become real world programers (or do much of anything else) they will have to work in groups and share a project.
But also the writting a functional specification on their own is a very good expierience for anyone going into any form of technical field.
Ofcourse you can then assign them something more complex and interesting.

It seems that before the 20th century cryptography was very much an art and at some point it more or less turned into a science. I was wondering if you could elaberate on how and when that change was made. IE when did the math folks take over? And was it during or around WWII.

The RIAA member companies own the copyright to the music that is being traded on Napster and other places. It maybe a lousy system but it is the one that we have. Let me repeat that. THEY OWN THE COPYRIGHT.
Now if you want to say that more power should be in the hands of the artists I will not diagree with you. But as far as I can see there is no moral right to have free music that someone else made. Just because it is technacly posible to trade music online does not make it right. Specificly I think Lars from Metalica was right when he said part of his problem was that no one asked him if he would like his music to be online.

Machines desinged to deal with very large databases tend to be more expensive than your average desktop, even if it has the same amount of disk. They tend to be built for reliablity and stability and speed. All of which cost money.

I remember they did a study about this, and they found that people who live near high voltage power lines get cancer, at about the same rate as everyone else. I'm not going to give up my cell phone, its to damn usefull.
On the other hand I do wish they would put up devices in movies etc so that they would block cell phones (Mine gets turned off) as its just annoying when you are in the middle of a film and someone's phone goes off
