but the Honorable Olympia Snowe (R-Maine) is one of the few congress-critters I can actually respect. She may be a republican, but both she, and Maine's other senator Susan Collins (R-Maine) have more balls than pretty much the rest of the R- congress-critters combined. both of them actually stand up to the president. then again, they come from a pretty democratic state

I'm trying to think of one. so far what I've come up with is that each proxy should have a complete list of the other proxies. in effect making the list of proxies distributed. (something ala routers finding each other, EIGRP-style IIRC: at boot, get a complete list, then listen for updates, and only broadcast updates every $BIGNUM(reletive) seconds, and when a change is made). my problem comes as follows: new client, only has the address of the main server. if this main server is blocked, how can it find one of the proxy servers that also has a complete list of the proxies? possible solutions: 1) broadcast a request; problem: broadcasts are often filtered out, and if this broadcast is being watched for, you've just sent up a red flag saying "I'm trying to get around blocks". 2) listen for an "advertisement"; Problem: easily filterable, and in this case, the proxy servers are sending out a "block me, I'm running 'illegal' software" flag. 3) open a unique port, and have the client and/or server port scan for this port; promlem: if the port is known, it is easily filtered, and then both client, and server are broadcasting "block me" flags. 4) know someone who runs a server locally, and initially use their server address to get your own copy of the "global" network; problem: very slow growth
every possible solution I have been able to think of so far, is either easily detectable, or easily filterable; or impractical.
if anybody has any other ideas, I'd be interested in knowing them

Actually.... Elevators sticking... In the "Palais de Nations" in Geneva, Switzerland (where the UN in.ch sits) one of the elevators did stick... because of y2k. not because a computer failed, but because it hadn't been switched off in god-knows how many years, and when the entire system was powered off over the switchover... one of the relays froze. This elecator had no electronics in it, but the steps done to ensure there were no problems, caused a problem
This would also be against "The Law". One of the few treaties that the US did sign is to the effect of "No Weapons in space" (gross over-simplification here)... then again it wouldn't surprise me if G.W. Shrubery decided to break that treaty as well, along with the ABM (Anti-Balistic Missile) treaty.

Or here's my solution: Assume that the treasure is on ye olde cliche island. All 5 pirates go to said island to get the treasure before voting starts, so that they can all verify that siad treasure actually exists. Pirate N (where N is the brightest) sends the other 4 to go start digging up the treasure while he "brings the boat ashore". Once the other 4 have gotten out of the boat, he rows away towards the main ship, and waits for them to starve/kill each other. then he returns to collect the whole treasure.

`FascistFirewall 1`
it sets tor to use port 80, and 443 (http/https) to get through "Fashist Firewalls"

Some kind of open distributed web proxy might do the trick.
Sounds good, how about tor http://tor.freehaven.net/
if a single (or even multiple) tor proxies get blocked, it will just go through a different one.
it works nicely for me
hrmmm... I wonder if it would get through the "great firewall of China" just as easily
