But I figure (desperately hope?) eventually, the various congresscritters will eventually remember the various French revolutions, since our own history seems to elude them so.

Uhhm No Unemployment is paid through unemployment insurance that employers pay to the government.
The higher your rate of claims against you the higher your rates will be.
Unemployment insurance is a TAX paid by employers, no different than any of the other taxes they pay. I'm not understanding your point in singling that out, as each of those other things in his list are also specific taxes that the government collects to fund those systems. When calculating the government's budget, the add all those sources together for a single statistic, even if the funds are separately collected, accounted and dispensed.
Unemployment in his list is exactly the same as everything else in his list. While medicaid/care are calculated against all costs/claims from beneficiaries, the rates (that we all pay, beneficiaries and otherwise) still rise as claims do.
Not really sure... but BBC shows sometimes come up on PBS every now and then. RealVideo would be nice... maybe somebody in the UK with a TV card could use the RealServer to do a live broadcast and use the archive function to record it for later mirroring?
That would demonstrate how our beloved "Slashdot community" works... maybe...
As far as I know, it the trademark "UNIX"(tm) goes from AT&T the originator to their spin-off USL (UNIX [System?,Support?] Labs) to Novell who bought the code to UNIX. Then Novell sold the code to SCO and the trademark to X/Open (now the OpenGroup).
That's what property taxes and the lottery are for... Coming from a state with no sales tax (OR) and a fairly succesful lottery (and large property tax) I'd have to say it's been working pretty well for us. Sales taxes are just wrong, for one thing I don't understand the whole idea of taxing one to make money (income tax) and then taxing them on spending that same money... it's rather a disincentive for making it in the first place - let's all get wellfare!!! sit around in homeless shelters...
I have no idea what they mean by "New brand name" as I have a HP Entria X Terminal from like '94 or something... (Still trying to get it to work with Linux...) Must every company (re)announce "new" products just so they can get more PR? Using Linux is great, but this isn't new.
So, if RedHat's market capitalization is ~5.7 billion and SCO's is only $270 million, then is it not feasible that at some point in time it might be possible for RedHat (or some other Linux company, maybe a few) to buy SCO? They could even open source UNIX (maybe), but could definately improve on several (some?) aspects of Linux, right?
Sometime you should try sticking your computer into the projector... you can play Quake (or C&C) on an 18' screen... really cool:) (esp. on Christmas morning;)

I've heard that there are enough IPv6 addresses that every proton on the face of the planet could have it's own. I want IP addresses for all *my* protons...:)

aww, give the ol' timer a break, maybe he's having a "senior moment" heh ;)

May have something confused there, though...
