push the line item veto back to congress then with line item voting. Make each senitor/rep responsible for each line of every bill. This would help to insure that they actually paid at least writting initials worth to each line of a bill and it would hold them accountable for what they say they stand for.
This way they can't say I voted for the bill that feed hungry children, not the tacked on portion that slaughered puppies.
Perhaps the part that says the judicial branch interprets the law??? I suppose you could interpret that how you want. But it is up the the Supreme Court.
One small change could be done to fix this. Line item votes in congress. Each congressman has to vote on a bill by signing off on each line of text in that bill as either Accepted, required or rejected. This not only gives everyone knowlege of exacly what every congressman votes on, but would get rid of stupid crap like this.
Of course it sounds too much like the line item veto that was tried and failed with the president. The problem with that is it gave far to much power to the president, line item voting empoweres congress to cut the fat on legislation.
All well and good but Hunter Gatherers socioty doesn't scale very well. If we all decided to revert to hunter gatherers then the worlds resources of food would be gone in less than a week.
1) That followes my point exactly. Until you can reduce the costs of building something down to zero you will need someone willing to invest in it. How will the ideals of Free and Open Source software provied Food? Housing? Clothes? I do have a theroy on how but the technology is still at least a centry out. Basicly once robots get to the point where they can do everything we don't want to do includeing manufacture more robots this would reduce life down to the basic ideals of free and open source software.
2) Ism't the entire Free and Open Source Software based around the Developers Itch? An anology to incentive???
Strange how the ones typically seen as wanting the constitution to rush to hteir aid are the ones that want to ban the only way to defend it. Sorry the constitution doesn't do anything, it's just a piece of paper. If you cand defend the ideas written on it with force protected by the bill of rights than it will help no one and the federal governemnt will continue to gain power until a police state is enacted over the entire contry.
At least I can still write these ide/;l1(*&^ (NO CARRIER)
That goes both ways, who is going to finance the farms, factories or building companies? People don't just come together and do things without incentive. and without the "American Dream" that with smart investments and hard work you can go from a peasant to a monarch people will refute back to hunter gatherers and fend only for themselves and direct family.
Liberals always have to be the victim. Never want to take responsibility for them selves and will take every chance they can to blame someneo else.
Conservitives will always try to dominate a situation. Always take responsibility only for them selves, and will take every chance they can to screw someone else over.
It has already ben well established that neither posters or moderators read the articles on slashdot. It is even well known that many don't even read the blurb.
Only one thing could have saved *BSDs and that would have been the GPL. Like most any free software *BSD will never die, but because people aren't forced to play nice, not everyone will. Just look at linux and GPL where everyone is forced (legaly) to play nice, yet many people still try to keep their changes private.
The extra freedom provided by teh BSD style licenses is not worth the loss in BSD contribution.
Luckly the *BSDs have some good teams that do a great job on maintaining them. but as those teams shrink BSDs growth will dissapear.
I must say, as someone who has used NFS in several diskless client installations with 100s of clients running NFS root partitions, not only did the clients survive when there was an NFS server death, but they would just hang until the NFS server was rebooted. This is having the entire root filesystem crashed out from under the client and they would just pick up like nothing happend once the server rebooted.
NFS doesn't suck and over trunked gigabit lines it is faster than many raid arrays.
Google decided to pose the question to it's search engine. "Is there a GOD". After feeding in all internet information available they typed it in and waited. After a lot of hard disk searching and the checking of all drives the computer went into an eerie silence for a few hours and then started typing.
"Not enough resources to compute answer."
This time they were going to get an answer to an age old problem and nothing would stop them. After months of negotiations with governments around the world they were able to link 12,000 linux computer all over the world together to produce the ultimate computer search lcuster. Nothing would stop them now. Just to make sure they re-crawled the web to to find all information even remotely connected to God.
It's answer was "Insufficient data."
Not to be outdone the scientists in their infinite wisdom started gathering books on everything from the Worlds libraries, archives, and archaelogy institutions. So much information was assembled that copywrite holders sued. Book publishers complained. Not detured by the lawsuits, again the question was ready to be posed.
The information entered and all computers linked a scientist typed in the question "Is there a God?". The computer cluster whirred into action checking all it's RAM and then linking with all the other computers. After.0012 seconds of activity going from one computer to another the computer started typing the answer and everybody waited eagerly as it typed to the screen.
It also teachs you about the aggressive tendancies of other programmers as well as the simple fact that other programmers just sometimes get in your way.

everyone download this like 20-30 times. use it or not is your choice but download it anyway.
Hmm, bad idea. The free, voluntary, etc.. kinda gets them around that. What if everyone started suing GNU for rm deleting things it shouldn't?
You're obviously not a manager. Employees are children that will sit around and post to slashdot all day if not monitored closely.
BTW I'm not a manager either.

On Thursday 7th July there were four bombers with two arms.
On Thursday 21st July there were four attempted bombers with two arms.
Are you really surprised that they were extra careful with people with two arms on Thursday 28th July?

The crap I took thismorning is rather superb in comparison to any other previous crap I took, and not only that I think it smells better too.
So you're saying a 20 man team should be able to finish this up if they all put in 12 hour days.
Got it.
sudo make install
/bin /bin/virus
where the install section of Makefile includes
install virus
chmod a+s
does
George Bush obviously.
What magic version of sudo lets you install software in /bin yet doesn't give you write access to /bin?
