Actualy it does extend to protecting people who break the law. And I know a lot of reporters who have been cited by courts for just that. Usualy its someone who leaked a classified report vs a murder or something. But it most certenly does extend to that.

Yea Aircraft seem to be starting to move forward with new tech. I am training in a Rotax powered Dimond Katana, 81hp (Takeoff) 5.1 gph, cruse at 120 kts. Its a composite aircraft and very nice.
I still want a cirrus SR20. I also hear that they are working on a 82octane unleaded avgas, no idea when if ever it will show up.

There is a limit to how efficient you can make a reciprocating engine. An electric power plant is probably about 90% efficient, but it does not have to go anywhere. The engine in your car has to work across a wide range of conditions, reliably, be started up and shut down repeatedly, and by small and light enough to fit in your car.
Jet Turbine engines tend to me more effient than piston engines, but tend to be rather large.

If you built a car that ran on say Compressed Natural gas you need to have places to fill the tank. And not just one or two, you need it everywhere. And you need a method of distrbuting that fuel etc.
Plus the modern gas engine is very efficient, it produces a good amount of power for the fuel that you feed it. Ok some people buy SUV's that have much more engine than they need, but thats another point.
What I want to know is why do small aircraft still use leaded gas.

I can think of Lots of reasons why you would want to vote more than once. They are more or less all called ballot fraud. Look at Mexico before this election. Look at Watergate or some US cities (Chicago and Philly jump to mind).
Its all about money and power.

You need some form of trusted out of band authentication to implement internet voting. I think it would be just to easy to do something to make a poll useless. I think without trusted clients (Hardware and software) computer voting is probably a bad idea.

How do you allow people to overclock their own systems, but prevent 2 bit computer stores from overclocking systems and selling them as the faster system. I would not be happy to find out that that 800mhz system I just bought was an overclocked 500mhz system.
I don't think there is a way to do it.

I work for a.com that does internet commerce. We are located in Nashua NH as there is no salestax (Or income tax) here. That way we don't add anything onto our merchant's existing tax bills.

Actualy only Congress can tax interstate commerce. (Or regulate it) and the Constitution says "No tax shall be imposed on any good exported from any state" Or something like that.

I think you could do what the navy does, IE use satalites, but its going to be very expensive. I think commercial ships use it to, as do aircraft, but it is not cheap. I would imagine that the hardware is going to be the pricey bit.

1) host your own web site. Get a T1 and your own hardware. This puts the responsablity onto your own sholders.
2) Don't put stuff up in violation of copyright. It does not belong to you.
3) If anyone does send you a letter asking you to take stuff down. Talk to your lawyer. Near as I can tell the stuff that they are going after falls into a few very specific catagories. (Copyright violations etc)

The USA has a few big advantages over the EU, Both have about the same number of people, (EU a bit higher). But while the EU has 15 nations with 15 legal codes, and 14 currencies (For now) and however many languages (12?) the USA has 1 legal system (Yes each state is different but much closer, but with one exception they are all based on English Comon Law) 1 Language, 1 Currency etc.

Well I'm not sure about the less susceptible to decay, in 40 years will we still be able to read the CD-ROMs and computer tapes from today? Will we still be able to read the document formats?
I have handled books that were 400 years old or more. Guess what I could read them (Well not the ones that were in Latin). Good quality paper will last a very long time if it someone takes good care of it.
The other problem is that the LoC does not have to rights to digitalize and publish books that are still under copyright.

You say making copies of an ebook is free. While bits can be duplicated for nothing (Or close too) there are other costs, like the paycheck for the writter, editor etc. All these people have to make money somehow doing something. Many authors are able to live full time on the royalties from there books, if everyone starts making ebooks and dup'ing them endlessly these people are going to stop writting as they will need to go out and get a job to pay the bills.

But that does not mean that you should give up your ethics. The point of ethics is that you should stick to them even when it is hard/ inconvient etc.
