a not gate: an xor gate with true -- ie a constant stream -- applied to one input
an or gate: an and gate with not gates at each input and output -- or just join two streams with a simple junction
A recycling system is easily added. A more fundamental problem is
that the gates are passive: there is no amplification. You can use
gravity, but with feedback some lines will have to go upwards and need
a complex pump for each line. Also you may need a lot of height per
stage.
Fluid actuated valves would solve this problem, and would be more
efficient. Only one pump would be needed -- as in electronics -- to
provide the supply pressure. But in the simple case of a four-bit
adder, it might be harder to make.
Don't use the weaker term "open source" when describing free software
-- "in this context". I think that is what he is saying.
If the software is open source, even though the human
rights staff might not be able to personally verify that it's accurate
and free of bias, they can take the source to a university or other
expert and have it vetted.
There are additional advantages if the software is free in addition
to having accessible source code.
UPDATE: spam fighter and alleged "stalker" Karen Hoffmann responds
Timothy, I suggest adding this update to the article. This
information should have been in the article in the first place. It was
not hard to find.
Here is an extract from the response:
I have never followed this man, nor his wife, nor any
other member of his family, and I have never been contacted by anyone
in regard to these supposed stalking incidents. Unlike Mr. Cowles, I
don't hide my whereabouts. If anything, Mr. Cowles was laughed out of
the prosecutor's office. Were you aware of the fact that the sheriff's
department had asked for my help in locating this fugitive months
prior to his arrest? I can provide you with the deputy's name and
phone number if you'd like to verify this information. Do you think
the BCI would have notified me in advance about the raid on Cowles'
office if they thought I was a stalker?
Read the definition, and you'll find it's not about the name of the tag. It's about the structure. Lines are now marked up like paragraphs -- they are not separated by empty tags.

Free software is important in human rights today. Would you like to get back on topic and argue with that statement?
... and must be applied to choosing tools. Software is important and complex. It is a likely pitfall when choosing tools.
I've just read about mutant mules developing thumbs and making gestures with them. Now it's mice...

Remember that you can use an alternative browser while you wait. Windows users may find this easy too, but they wouldn't if Microsoft had its way.

The latest CVS version of Lopster does WPNP as well as OpenNap. Here are instructions on building it and getting connected to the WinMX network.
