PC Mag may have sent the questions out before Bob was nominated, less than two weeks ago. But it is still a poor move by them to not at least attempt to may contact with his campaign and mention something like, "Barr was not able to respond to questions before publication."
I too will be voting Libertarian (as I've always done).;-)
Smoking is an issue where the anti group seems to lose it's ability for logic.
Has is not occurred to you that there are thousands of other chemical compounds that you are breathing (and absorbing via other means) in on a daily basis that can do as much if not more damage than tobacco? But the details is that, along with tobacco, those chemicals are absorded in the body at very low levels, so the effect is not there.
Let's go and give Personal Responsibility a try for a change and see where we go. Going towards a "State Knows Best" route has been tried before, and short strole through history shows how well they work out.
Don't forget all the OnStar (for GM and like) and similar systems that allow for very, very tracking of data. They have built in cellular and GPS systems and the ability for remote unlock and disabling of vehicles.
And if that give even the slightest shivers of reality, there are also the mandatory "black box recorders" that are going into all new vehicles. They record the speed of the vehicle and other system data (e.g. whether seat belts were fastened, etc.) that can used against you in court.
One could easily see a very near term future where cops could pull the "black box recorder" data from you vehicle as a part of normal routine of a traffic stop. Hell, they wouldn't even need to physically touch the vehicle now that Bluetooth is so easy to implement. And to counter any arguements about violation privacy, the excuse that you're in a public setting (driving) and are on the tax funded road system means that you waive any objection to such data pulls.
No more arguing that the radar gun is inaccurate when they just pull the incrimenating evidence from your own car.
swift kicks in the groin, when all you get at the house is a "blazing" fast speed of 26.4 Kbps on dial up. Thank you Verizon, fucking thank you... ISDN is not even an option where I live.
Because at the moment the investment required and risks are too high. We are at the beginning of commercial space flight, but at the moment the technology isn't mature enough to make it cost effective.
And that's a valid reason for a bloated government subsidy to a very small special interest? Let the market decide if NASA's way of doing things is the best. Being that it's a government program the likelihood is not.
If you'd like to compare, next time you see an old-fashioned bottle of soda, check and see if it's from Mexico.
No need to go past the border, the Dublin, TX Dr. Pepper bottler still uses Pure Cane sugar in the production of Dr. Pepper. You can even order it online. http://www.dublindrpepper.com/
I haven't seen a posting point this out, but there is a bugzilla site setup for kernel bugs. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/. Some of the bugs in there look pretty old, but there does show to be active entries in there also. AFAIK, the site has been up for a couple of years or so.
As another poster pointed out, people who can identify and fix bugs that they didn't create should be in higher demand than who can't. Don't know if it generally possible, but I don't see it being unreasonable for developers to point to specific bug entries that they closed out on their resume/portfolio.
ThinkFree has both stand-alone desktop and internal server products. Pop this puppy on your own servers for intranet or VPN access.
Finally, someone sees that the potential for this is not an Internet-only app. (Unlike most of the comments on/.) You have this absolutely correct, an organization is not going to rely on their Internet connection to use their office apps (at least lets hope...); they will set up an internal server and dish out the pages there. Finally, there is something that can be considered the "missing link" for doing an all thin-client rollout. Doing OOo over a remote X11 session is possible, but if it's not the most optimal solution. (Doing it over a 10/100 Ethernet connection does slows some lag.) But, using the browser, which is sometimes part of the thin-clients firmware, is better; less lag, network traffic, and need for server resources.
I generally agree, and welcome with open arms, with your point, but have just one thing to point out:
Screw corn. There are crops that are much better suited for oil production. My personal bias is for Hemp. These are not for the NORML reasons people think of. Here is a chart that illustrates the gal./acre of various crops http://www.journeytoforever.org/biodiesel_yield.ht ml. From that chart, Hemp produces over twice as much oil in a single growing as does corn. Coupled with that and the fact that Hemp in most parts of the continental US, multiple plantings per year can be achieved. The South can get at least 3, maybe 4 plantings. Hell, it's a weed, not like it has the genetic capacity to survive.
Of course, there is that minor technicality of the Porky Pigs of the DEA being unenlightened; but with the price of Oil at ~$73 a barrel and climbing, the chances for change increase with the continued upward movement.
Boot your favorite distro and install the MadWifi drivers. Configure ath0 for DHCP, sit within range of an access point, and you're good to go.
The madwifi drivers work with Atheros chipsets and evidently Atheros themselves contributed a large amount of the code, so it would be in the interest of all Linux users to support them by checking out the MadWifi compatibility listing and purchasing one of the listed cards. You'll be helping the open source community and getting the most out of your wireless card at the same time.
I absolutely concur with this post. I purchased a Linksys WPC55AG and have been extremely pleased with the card using the MadWifi drivers. The only thing I can complain about is the lack of an external antennae port, but there are now Atheros based that have that feature.
The thing most people do not realize is that the real gotcha on the current crop of cards is that the 802.11G functions are achieved in software via a binary firmare. In the US, this is a result of a restriction imposed by the FCC, because without it, people would be able to change the card's operating frequency and bleed over to restricted frequency bands. Hence the reason for the lack of 802.11G cards that have good Linux support.
Atheros is very active in the MadWifi project, and just recently released a new HAL for the project to use, which means even better times for us users.
Don't waste either your time or money on using cards that require NdisWrapper, support companies that actually give a damn about us Linux/*BSD users.
Since many of the posts are talking about if the latest and greatest card from ATI or nVidia will work with their respective binary-only driver; I feel compelled to mention that there is a project with the intention of getting open spec'd, hardware accellerated video cards out: OpenGraphics. The specs may not be the bleeding edge of current tech, but I personally will appreciate having hardware that can be fully utilized by the OS of my choosing.
All this crap happened in the 20's. The US became extremely pro-business and anti-regulation, from the supreme court and president down.
This caused the depression. The depression removed the focus on the rich and corporate entities and returned much of the money they looted from the middle and lower classes, we had quite a few prosperous, happy decades.
Now we get to relearn our lesson I guess. Ready for the next depression? Probably only a decade or so out now?
The Great Depression was not caused by an untamed market, but by the interferance of the government. Murray Rothbard, and other economists, have clearly pointed that fact out.
Just wondered if there was a reason recycled oil wouldn't work?
It will work, you just have to do extra work to get out the "foriegn" matter and take into consideration the variations in water content from batch to batch.
It seems a lot of comments here are nothing more than slaves wanting their slave-master to be the one controlling the DNS servers. Do I need to say that it sounds completely pathetic? Here's an idea, I don't want any MoFo government agency, real or quasi, controlling the net in any way. If it's the tyrannical US or the tyrannical UN/EU government controlling, we still end up with an organization that gives about "two shits and fuck" about your individual opinon on how things should be ran. For those who can't handle a little crude language, it all boils down to CONTROL. Some may have noticed that across the globe Thought Crime legislation, aka Hate Speech, is either being proposed, quietly slipped in and enacted, or already enacted law. Those laws coupled with the so called debate over who controls the DNS servers spells the death of easy access to alternative news sources and any that goes against the gain of the the offical propoganda line from your respective government. Nothing screws up a good thing like a overzealous, pompous beaurocrat.
The "these rights and freedoms" part refers to the previous two paragraphs, not to the whole declaration, but please do continue your rant...
You're incorrect. The rights that are specified in the document are in Articles 1 through 27. The fact that the same phrase, "rights and freedoms" also appear in the second paragraph is the proof that they are not refering to only the paragraphs in Article 29. Articles 28 through 30 are clauses to the document.
To you contention that a global organization such as the UN is the solution, I would suggest alternate DNS root servers and IPv6 to get around the "US domination" of the Internet. A technical problem needs a technical solution, not a bureaucratic one. With the URL that you have selected for your homepage, it would seem that that would have come to mind.
It seems to me that a multilateral (global) control of the dns servers could only be a good thing for global companies.
I would encourage you to check out Article 29, paragraph 3 of the "Universal Declaration of Human Rights." It's an interesting clause basically stating that all the preceeding rights are null if they are contrary to the UN's mission.
I can't see how turning over control of any part of the Internet, or anything else, to an organization that does not have representation of the people themselves, only the member states, and has a clause that nullifies its principles if they interfere with the UN.

If I was noting who has the title of "worst of the worst," I would have spelt the name as Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
Antonin Scalia was appointed by Reagan. He's the only sane justice on the SCotUS.
Seeing how she wasn't a consistent supporter for freedom & liberty, her hand had helped make a dictartorship possible.
