The best interview I saw during last year of a politician was when Ralph Nader was on the Daily Show. Jon asked some very point-blank and informed questions which got past the "why don't you drop out you idiot" questions that Nader got on all the other interviews he did and got to the core of the green party platform. The Daily Show's coverage of the election was more than just satire, it was a truely honest way of viewing the political process from the eyes of a normal person.

After all, ignorance is the foundation of intolerance.
The ignorance that causes people to be intolerant is not ignorance towards what lifestyles people lead after hours. Instead, the ignorance that engenders hatred, racism, sexism, homophobia, etc. is ignorance toward how those people think and feel and an inablility for bigots to be able to put themselves in the shoes of those they hate or fear

Despite the efforts of Congress to extend copyright timespans to seemingly forever, I do believe that the copyright that the Apostles and the catholic churh would have to have in order to prevent people from distributing their texts has expired.

Personally, I generally don't trust Bush's fiscal and budgetary knowledge as far as I can throw him. If you look at the state of the Texas budget now, it's in a big heaping mess because of the $1B tax cut that Bush pushed through the Texas legislature coupled with projected tax surpluses that never materialized and government projects that went over budget providing basic services to the people of Texas. I'd rather not see the same thing happen to the rest of the country and Bush's unwillingness to comprimise, even with people from his own party, over his various tax cut plans isn't making me feel all that warm and fuzzy...
Getting more and more OT here, but i feel like a rant : From what I've seen of high visibility GOP governors/politicians of late such as Gov. Gilmore of my state of Virginia (who seems Hell bent on repealing the car tax, which would save car owners a couple hundred dollars, but cost state universities and other very worthy and important state projects a good chunk of their budgets because of the bugetary gap created) I'm beginning to think that blind tax cuts that don't have the foresight to plan for bumps in the economic road and refuse to use economic triggers to cause them to go into effect are beginning to cause more and more damage to the economy and society in general due to the massive cuts they can lead to in the services that government provide.

Besides, I thought that M$ doesn't pay income taxes because of the massive deduction they get on the options they give to their employees...
MS doesn't pay taxes on the income it makes, however Bill Gates still does (in theory) on his personal investments and other income. However, you are right that loopholes are a big problem in our current tax system and need to be addressed, but I haven't looked much into flat tax systems myself tho.

I'm a high school senior and In the past 6 months Napster has helped me expand my musical tastes past the pop-rock alterna-crap that's being played on the radio 24/7. I have discovered new genres and the music of indie artists and found music which is no longer availible commercially. One recent example is the soundtrack to the movie Tron by Wendy Carlos. It was originally sold in lp and cassette forms but never remastered into CD format due to the extreme degredation of the master tape and Disney's unwillingness to put time and money into spooling the tape up bit by bit. I was able to find the entire score on Napster in just a few minutes. I do feel guilty sometimes by downloading artists' songs but in my experience Napster is a tool that expands the musical bredth of its users and provides a easy way to find obscure live, rare, and little known tracks.

The problem with the Estate Tax, as I see it at least, is that it really bites farmers and ranch owners in the arse if they don't prepare well enough before their deaths. They don't have the large cash reserves to pay for ingenious little accountants like the "biggies" such as WillyG do.
Keeping the estate tax is one thing, but making it fair for cash poor, hard working people and towards the uber-rich people it is supposed to affect is something that needs to be done if it is to stay.

The problem is that most artists don't own the origionals to their music (in riaa standard contracts the big bad company owns them) and are signed on for multi-album deals that pay them very little. In five years some artists might be free of these contracts, but my guess is that the vast majority will still be bound by the whims of the riaa label regarding distribution of their music online. Personally, I don't trust labels not run by working musicians (and even some of those are shady).

The problem is not the base intent of religious organizations, the problem is in the implementation of that intent which gets clouded with irrational mandates from the Vatican and overzealous and corrupt religious figures. People like the Bakers don't exactly help the public's image of large faith-based organizations. Hypocritical policies which engender hatred and ignorance to other people's points of view turn people away from religion. Religion and technology don't have to confict with each other, the way i see it, people in scientific fields examine their faith more logically and don't always choose to follow the rest of the "moral majority" and instead move toward non-organized religion. Religion is what you make of it, not what John Paul tells you. People in technology realize this and form their own views on faith and religiousness.

This sounds like a perfect opportunity to show the government the benefits of viewing the source of a program they buy. We start up a oss voting system running on the same hardware as the setup in the article, perform a full openBSD security audit on it, and it'll be a hellofa lot more secure and stable than any closed source system (at least i would feel more comfortable about it). It would cut down on the costs on implementing the new system and stop the gov't from being dependant on ms for any security updates.

My point is that often students get caught up in the symantics of the language the course is taught in and dont focus enough on the programming concepts like they should. On the actual AP, I think pseudocode would be more effective because there aren't any compliers to test the syntax of your code against. The course can be mostly taught in a language to teach certain skills, but giving the test in pseudocode removes a lot of the stupid little mistakes that can distort the reviewer's view of the person's actual programming skill.

I took the exam (AB) a year ago in c++ and got a 5 and think that for people who plan to go into cs in college pseudocode for the ap would be much better than any specific language. However, the drawbacks of this are that students dont learn techniques for debuging and working with the quirks of a language, which are both _important_ skills to learn. Most of the people (in my class at least) should not become programmers for a living and therefore it really wouln't matter if the test was given in sandscrit (they slowed down the entire class, the teacher was horrible, and the only other person to get a 5 on the ab and i were forced to do all the work on our own).

Do you actually know anything about CPS? My father has worked there for 25 years and I personally know that he only removes a child from a home if THEY ARE IN VERY SERIOUS DANGER. Spanking alone does not warrant a CPS intervention, but if you are hitting your kids with objects and leaving multiple, visible marks on their bodies, then you aren't the best person for your kids to be around. And, btw, you are not "automatically guilty" you do get a trial where if you did act violently toward your kids, you will be found guilty; if you aren't committing a crime, you will be found innocent.

Details instead of vague accusations, please?
How about the persecution that the leaders of the civil rights movement suffered at the hands of the FBI and J. Edgar? Agents were planted to incite escalation of violence and keep tabs on the movements led by MLK,Jr, etc. Now you can't tell me that the reasons behind this weren't political and/or racist. Look in the history book once and a while and you'll find that governments around the world don't behave all that well when allowed to do whatever they want, and begin to encroach on the rights of all their citizens if allowed to do so to a relatively small group (Nazis).

It would be interesting to see how MS and the NSA would react if it was revealed by Russian officials who take the code stolen by the Russian crackers when they're arrested (lots of ifs and buts in there) if the officials revealed that the NSA key backdoor that has been given so much publicity actually exists. Suddenly both MS and the US Gov have a lot of egg on their faces...
