And of course O'Reilly produces a lot of free as in beer and speach content. And it pays off for them because I know a lot of people like myself who will buy a dead tree version of a free book just to encourage such behavior. All in all O'Relly rules.

I can't speak for the leaders of this movement but as a Libertarian I am more than happy to pay for the military but would be just as happy if everything else you mentioned went away and I'm sure these people would be also. I know as a liberal you think the government should take care of you but I and I suspect these people just want to be given the freedom to take care of ourselves.
I see you have not read the article. They are ranking possible states by trying to find states that have low voter turnout and that are already leaning towards the kind of policies they want to implement. The idea being that by adding a bloc that will vote with a large number of people who already live in that state they will be able to swing many votes their way. So while you can't elect a governer with 20,000 votes if you where to add 20,000 votes one way or the other in many states you could swing the election the way you wanted it to go.
Thank you very much. That is exactly right if we educate everyone we know about this and then vote for a party that has stated that they are against this it will send a clear message to the people who are in power that doing this will lose them votes. This was in *no* way flamebait but rather a serious suggestion. Well ok the straight ticket part was a bit of a joke but the idea of voting Libetarian in any race in which someone may have voted for the DMCA is deadly serious.
No Grok does not mean understand it goes beyond that. For example I understand C I most certainly do *not* grok C. OTOH I grok network security which is a level up from mere understanding. In any case see the below.

You are dead on right thanks so much. The fact of the manner is the Internet is just another way of publishing information. A powerfull and cool way to publish but at the end of the day just another way to publish and anytime you let the great unwashed masses publish anything in any medium this is what you will get. has nothing to do with the Internet has more to do with the fact that people suck.
I would like to add that in my opnion Novak and his pet store both could suck the chrome off a trailer hitch. That from what I have heard he is the devil incarnate and that he SUCKS SUCKS SUCKS.
Can I be addedd now? I have a *very* rich friend who would love to bankroll a fight against this twat.
You *don't* understand the concept of fair use. Fair use is that I don't want to have to cary it from my house to my car and then to the office everyday I make two copies leave on in the car, one at work, and the original at home. It is already illegal for me to make a copy and give it to a friend. The point being we do not need new laws we simply need to enforce the already existing laws. And people have been copying music for a *very* long time and yet people manage to make a lot of money at it. I think if you are depending on selling cds you don't understand the business model. Selling copies of the music has always been bad for the people making the music. They make most of their money off of live shows. Selling music is just a way to get people to shows.
You will of course notice that I state in my post that I don't know anything about the coder side of the house. My statement is purley my observation that network/security guys and no not server admins either, have made if through this fairly well and that if you want a fairly recession proof IT job you might look in that direction. Nothing about anyone else.
No some parts of IT tend to be recession-sensitive. The thing is to pick wisely. I can't speak for the coding side of the house having never been there. But I know that in the last few years of slow down. I as a datacomm, network infrastructure, security kind of guy have seen *no* slow down and in the past year have seen a lot of new interest. (Mostly having to do with the security side of things.) The reason so many folks in "IT" are having problems right now is because a large number of them got some kind of a cert during the bubble years and thought they were good to go. Had no love for the profession had no depth had no real understanding. And where in the I can run a windows/*nix server crowd. Well the herd go thinned. Get a good solid deep background then learn as much as possible about *every* aspect of IT and you too will be recession proof.
Yes it is sick shit lets start with that. I don't think anyone is in favor of it. But it should *not* be banned by the government. I don't think there is any grey area to it. The bill of rights is pretty much written in absoulte terms and the lines are clear if sometime less than pleasent.
No one said it would solve all your problems but it can be a *very* useful tool. You should also go read their stuff on novel keying methods. Very cool and worth thinking about. Also the question at least in a "democracy" like the USA is how important is the inforamation to the government and how far will they go to try and extract it. For example in the US I could use rubberhose cough up 2 or 3 passphrases and then "forget" the rest of them. Also with the novel keying methods you limit their ability to torture passphrases out of you. I mean hell even without novel keying methods my typical passphrase is the average of two or three paragraphs from a book, with semi random "misspellings" thrown in for good measure, they would have to stop well short of any serious torture to be able to get that kind of information out of me. So while no crypto is not perfect it can be used and torture based methods can be fought.
You are dead on right. They have done bad things. But I think you would be hard pressed to find any political group in Latin America that has not done bad things. In any case they maybe bad but you are dead on right about the new defination of "terrorist" thanks.
who said during the campaign "There ought to be limits to freedom. We're aware of this [web] site, and this guy is just a garbage man, that's all he is." I mean the man clearly has always wanted to be in complete control and the whole 9/11 deal just gave him an excuse and convinced many other people to go along with him. Hopefully we will be able to get rid of him shotrly. But this is just going to be more and more common till then.

Just do what I do and vote straight ticket Libertarian. That way you get rid of all the greedy SOBs

I agree with you on USIan. Grok is from Stranger in a Strange Land and a very cool concept.
The profit thing is from a South Park Episode and bugs me.

In the books it is established that Gollum is of a race that is related to Hobbits. And you left out the Ent. :)

Odd what version of Mozilla are you using and what OS. I'm hitting it with Moz on Windows 2000 (have to at work and stuff) just fine.
No Emacs is a decent OS all it is missing is a good text editor. vi OTHOH is a text editor.
