It's not anything but a movie for entertainment. It's not history, or a documentary, or even editorial commentary (F 911). It just isn't that important. I hope those that see it enjoy it.
The essence of the problem in 2 sentances. This person is smarter than Diebolds entire corporate hierarchy. It will be a mess but some things never change, Chicago will go to the Dems because it's been rigged for 60+ years. The fix has always been in in certain places, switching to E-voting only changes the method, not the result.
Get both views, THEN, make up your mind. As for slashdot or MTV being a choice: only if you are in the 18 - 30 year old group that has the lowest voter turn out of any. They voice their complaints here and not in the voting booth where it actually counts.
Some countries have been ruled by tyrants for so long it could take 3 generations for democracy to take hold. The first step is education of the people and the leadership.
The revolt is what the leadership is trying to avoid. If you keep the people from seeing the truth, and provide them with only your version, they are easier to control. All dictatorships work on this principle or they don't survive. Psuedo-communist rulers are scared to death of the truth even more that other dictators.
I must admit it's going to be funny to hear them justify all the claims that M$ bought off the Bush Admistration after this. Actually they will probably sulk quietly until they come up with a new rant.
You can only hide poorly written software for so long. Then it screws up bad enough that you look stupid.
The truth is that there are 10% on the radical right and 10% on the radical left. They crap on the 80% that should be running things because the press only covers the radicals.
The engine block is stamped on the right front (speaking from the drivers seat) of GM V8s (the old small block and big block). The block has a pad cast as part of the block that is machined when the surface is done. When the cylinder head is bolted on the pad sticks out below it. When rebuilding an engine you can change the number, just let DMV know about it. I put my own numbers on engines I built for racing in the 70's and 80's.
The problem will be re-writing all the programs that only allow X number of characters for the VIN. It's not that big a deal to change a line or two in each program, but collectively it's a pain. I doubt if any two states use the same program. I don't think it's as big a problem as the article says.
1. who cares? 2. Educate the people in the patent office. 3. Nuke the patent office. 4. Nuke Redmond. 5. Bend over and take it.
Ok now, 3 and 4 will get you charged with terrorism, not good. 5 is never good. 1 is what the majority will say. 2 is a great idea, but we are talking about Govt. employees, if they were really trainable they might have areal job.
The CDC declared smallpox eradicated around 1996, dur to the fact that no cases had been reported anywhere on earth for 10 years. Thats why they stopped. Vaccine could be produced in less than a year. The only known stocks of live virus are in the US and Russia. It's pretty much a non issue today.
Except for the fact that most of the world (~95%) has been vaccinated for smallpox. It doesn't exist in the wild anymore, just in labs. No, I don't fear smallpox at all, even my grandkids are vaccinated.
The only people not terrified of nukes are too stupid to care about. I was a submariner and a qualified special weapons security guard, I know nukes.
No matter how well it could be duped here on earth, they would miss something. Just human nature, we are not perfect. They should take a look at what was left up there to see. How are the rovers holding up? Not just the lower stage of the landers. There is a lot to be learned for planning of a permanant base.
If we want to go back, send a mars type rover first and put it near one of the previous landing sites. It would be nice for planning purposes to know how the lower part of a lander has held up for thirty years or more. Might help plan the construction of something permanent.
Most variations in fuel blends are for altitude and temperature, some are for specific laws (all California blends). You don't get the same gas in LA that sells in Denver, or Phoenix, ever. There are approxamatly 37 different blends in the US for a year.
1969 Chevy ElCamino. When I got it, used it got about 12MPG around town and a best of 18 on the Interstates of NM and AZ. Then I rebuilt the engine, all GM parts inside, Edlebrock intake with a small (600CFM) Holley carb, headers, Mallory distributor. 17MPG in town and 25 on the highway, with the A/C on. The cam was from the 325 Horse 327, great mileage and plenty of go pedal. It also passed 75 CA emissions standards with no add on smog crap. I think it's called efficiency.
I did tune a 78 Triumph Spitfire that had and EPA of 27 highway and got 36.5. I used to make a living tuning for mileage, back when you colud re-jet the carb and change the advance curve in the distributor.
If this is another case of sloppy programming by M$, everyone that looses money can sue. A class action suit for negligence, starting price 10 Billion. We will of course demand actual reimbursement of damages besides that fine, and we are always willing to negotiate.......UP.
Anyone that has seen any of his "editorial commentary" knows he is not FOR anything. He just rants about who or what he is against. Of course the people buying Clintons book will love it. Eight years of his lies only makes them pay him more so he can lie again.
I don't think the European court system will tolerate the delaying tctics US courts allow. In most other countries SCO would have been over 6 months ago.

Some countries have been ruled by tyrants for so long it could take 3 generations for democracy to take hold. The first step is education of the people and the leadership.
The programs for the state DMV's, the insurance companies, and the dealers (new and Used), business that have company vehicles. Did I miss anyone?
The revolt is what the leadership is trying to avoid. If you keep the people from seeing the truth, and provide them with only your version, they are easier to control.

The truth really will set you free!

It's not Flamebait, it's a Troll.

It would have been simpler to create new cell only area codes and leave the land lines alone.

I guess it's hopeless.
Not to mention that Linux actually works, is reliable, and doesn't have the same bugs that didn't get fixed three versions ago.
It should. Another Clinton Cabinet member, oh well, if his lips are moving, he's lying.
Fools whose taxes paid for Clintons lies for eight years are now paying him directly for 937 pages of more lies.
mod it troll I don't care, I have my opinion just like you do.
Opinions are like assholes, everyone has one and they all stink.
Thats a recursive statement. Gates is already the wallet for the BSA.
