Well the problem is that the US Constitution specificly reserves to the Federal government the right to regulate and tax interstate buisness. That is why interstate catalog sales don't get taxed. There is no real legal reason why there could not be a national sales tax.
We have never had one as far as I know and probably won't any time soon. But congress *COULD* enact one if they wanted to.
Remember one of the main reasons of the US Revolution and the English Civil war was to enforce the idea that the Legislature had to consent to taxes.
Congress is trying to cut taxes now (A bit to much IMHO but that is besides the point). Now Congress has every legal right to tax transactions over the net. (Read the constitution folks) but I can't see them doing it. Esp now that we are runing a huge surplus off of the taxes we already have.
So Call your senitor if you want, but don't expext 60 Senitors to vote for this one. (You need 60 to add a tax amendment for some reason that I don't understand.)
Its just supply and demand. A lot of people with a lot of money are looking for housing. The thing is there are a lot more people looking for a place to live than their are places. So prices go up. The only way to solve it is to cut demand or build a *LOT* of new units.
I belive that on ocation they do declare martial law, but it usualy is in the wake of a huricane or something and is over a very limited scope (A county or 2) and for a very limited period of time. Now since the National Guard has to do the work of implementing this it does make sense that they would get people together to talk about from time to time.
As for the net tax, It was proposed by the UN. The UN has no power to tax anyone or anything.
As for the interstate tax thing that is not new with the Net. The same rules have applied to mail/phone order catalogs for a long time. My mother used to order stuff from LL Bean when I was a kid and never paid sales tax on it. And it does not appear that congress has a great intrest in adding a new tax at this point. Esp since we are running a surplus and they are trying to cut taxes.

One, I am not wallowing in Stupidty, two, I'm a life long Democrat, I just think that a lot of people are acting like fools.
In many ways I'm as liberal as many people here. There are a fair number of law enforcement agencies (Starting with the NYPD) that need to be fixed badly, but that was not the point of the article.
Yes I did see Schindler's List, and I have been to Yad Vashem in Israel. My Attitude is not similar.
All I am saying is that quit frankly we do live in a free state. If you compare the USA now to Nazi Germany or Pinocet's Chile (Or any of a hundred other places) you will find it is not so bad. Oh and I know a number of old men and women with numbers of their arms, and a few who where blacklisted in the 50's. (Including some relitives). So if you are complaining of loss of freedom ask your self this, have you recently: 1) Been stopped from going to your local house of worship. 2) been stopped from haveing a Peacefull protest. 3) Been denied freedom of speach press etc. 4) been made to self incrimate yourself in a criminal trial. etc 5) been denined legal council when you needed it.
Now I admit that we are not perfect, and I know that many police forces are much more likely to pull over somone who is black than someone who is white. And that is wrong. But I also don't see the police walking into a minority area and telling everyone that they have to evacuate their homes as was done in Kosovo and Bosnia (And other places)
All this The government is out to get you stuff bugs me in a big way. Yea the govenerment is not perfect and they do a bit of stuff that I don't like, but plese the USA is not and never will be a facist state. But some how many of the folks who spread this dreck have a few minor points: 1) I don't have to pay my taxes. 2) There is a big conspericy invoving the Jews, the UN and probably the martians and the Knights Templar. 3) Lots of vuage acusations of loss of freedoms.
IBM had done quite well by free software recently. They are using both Apache and Linux as the basis for real products and have contributed to Apache in a significant way. Yes they are trying to make money, but that does not mean that they can not be part of the free software movement too.
I think several groups within IBM have realized that they make more money selling services and pre-packaged sollutons than in boxes of software.
I don't think so. OK everyone will be on the net but that does not make you an internet comapany. Anymore than having a phone makes you a phone company. In 10 years GM will still be making cars, and I would bet most of them will still be sold at the same type of dealerships.
Is faster yes, the problem is that as long as we use a spinning platter to store data with a physical head moving around it that imposes some limitations. The platter spins at a finite speed and the head moves again at a finite speed. We need some sort of solid state mass storage, the problem is that is *MUCH* more expensive.
OK Kernel guys (And people who have setups who can test this sort of thing). We now know where the problems are (OK We already did) Lets fix them and then challenge for a rematch.
Well yes, but the point is that Intel wants linux (And bsd as well) to run better on the PII/PIII and one way to do this is the pay cygnus to improve GCC. Now they have to release the source ofcourse.
So the "Donate" language is just PR. PR can be an important part of these things. Hell this whole thing makes me think well of Intel.
Well they tried it with the Network Admin guide, and it didn't work at all. Another company re-printed it. The problem is that if a book does not sell over a given number of books it will not get shelf space. Unfortunitly the publishing industry and the software industry do not follow the same rules.
Actually RMS Talks about this, In his essay he says that essays (like the one he wrote or this one) Should not be under the GPL as they represend the someone's Opionion.
The post is to express what I think and if you take it and "Improve" it you may end up with something that I don't at all like.
Static Pages on an Intranet?

I develop intranet apps for a living and I wonder why they keep testing "Enterprise" webservers only using static pages. Most of the load on any webserver is going to be on generation of dynamic content. I don't Care if you are using CGI, Java serverlets, mod_perl or whatever.
In most real applications static files will clog the network pipe before it hits the CPU. And as been noted there are some unix webservers that can serve static pages much faster than apache.
No I think I want a Lancair Columbia 300 Or maybe a Lancair IVp. On the other hand I'm looking rather hard at a the idea of a Cessna Skyhawk. You can pick one up for under $50k.
I don't see that this is much different from a top sports team paying big bucks for a star player. Which they do all over the world. (IN whatever sport you happen to be a fan of). And yes it does give the big teams an advantage. But so what, it makes the upset even more sweet when (and if it happens).
I could be wrong, but I thought Slashdot and BSI were for profit origizations. Rob et al are trying to make a living out of this thing. Yahoo is providing a free service to the community, but they are definitly for profit.

Janet Reno is AG not head of the FBI. But the FBI reports to her.

I think this will be a great investment.
But I don't have the money.

Just imagine, even more things to cause trafic accidents. Remember just because something is posible it does not make it a good idea.

But we do need to document all of this better.
But with an OS that sells like BeOS does, can they really be thinking an IPO is a good idea?
