All it takes is me say paying the 5 bucks a month and then downloading everything and anything and burning archival CDs then I can give these mp3s to anyone I want through the conventional internet. Easy.
If you look at the history of the Natzi empire and world war 2 you will see that Hitler really didn't care about anyone or how much his country would fail if they lost. In Andreas Dorpalen's books Europe in the 20th century you see direct almost blunt statements something to the effect that when he tried to invade Poland that he threatened the world that he would create a war that would take 10-15 years and would expend all his soldiers (incidentally when his troops lost he basically abandoned them because they didn't follow his "vision"). I really do after a fashion get tired of the whole idea that the US really did something special destroying the National Socialist's military regime in Germany. Basically we just sent wave after wave of men across to Europe and had a lot of material to defeat the German war machine. I have to agree with you that their uniforms did look good might consider getting one myself. The next best thing is a East German one which has many of the same elements and looks quite good. Nice for Halloween parties and the like. And remember Von Braun (you know the same guy who actually conceptualized the idea of space stations and interplanetary flight) was originally a V2 scientist. Oh well enough talk about natzis (a word that slashdot uses with abandon), the whole concept of George Bush being a natzi is rather bad. If you really think that the whole system is corrupt and evil then perhaps many of those people who vowed that if Bush won would leave the country would just get it over with and do it already, use freenet more, or just not write their names on their code or web page content for starters. And remember bad law actions against people in real life are the slashdot equivelent of a troll moderation or the infamemous bitchslapping.

To be perfectly honest I did try Windows 2000 on a Pentium III 800 with 256Mb of ram and a 20Gb hard disk. The entire boot process lasted about ~15 minutes and there was a nice level of disk grinding, not to mention that it won't let you interrupt the boot process even with the power button (this was with a Gateway machine). So much for windows technology.
Ok I would have normally let this slide but after seeing posts 2 time I think I have a ligitimate right to comment. It really dosn't matter if there is an election or not I want my news whenever it's convinent for *me* not for other people and truth be told the elections are not going to run all night long. I like to see more stories make slashdot press no matter what they are.
There are at least a couple of hurdles to make getting any info hard 1. Most networks are switched now internally (at least with new equipment most of the time) 2. You would have to be at the router or ISP level to get anything from a dialup ISP. So it's mostly an internal matter that can be solved with upgrades and the like. Of course there's something called FDIC which will insure your deposit for up to $100,000 per account so it's not like it would hurt you anyway.
Internet banking is just an excuse for people not to actually have to drive to the bank but increases the risks to financial institutions needlessly. Of course that will not stop everyone and their mother from doing online banking just the same because it's the "cool" thing to do.
It never was a direct one and it never will be. Nader is a washed up consumer advocate who never realized the 60's ended. His ideas are unworkeable and don't work in the real world. People have had ample time to look at his stances on the issues and they are still not flocking to him. This means that he is logically not what the people want.
And no don't mention the drug problem there are far more substantive issues than drugs to worry about like Social Security and various international issues and obove all taxes.
Just as a humorous aside in my sister's 9th grade history class they did a election with all candiates and the breakdown was like this 16 Bush 7 Gore 3 Nader 3 Jigglypuff That's right Nader is as popular as Jigglypuff (of Pokemon Fame) as far as a candiate

Election Wrapping Up
·
· Score: 1
People who violate the social contract (ie criminals) don't have any rights because they violated other's rights in the commission of their crime. Since voting is a priviledge under the social contract and since said contract has been violated felons have no right to get the benefits.
If you get all your info from the 11 o'clock news or slashdot I can understand but there are real and substantitive issues that are big enough that there is a real chance to deal with them at the polls. Try to look at the The News Hour with Jim Lehrer a bit and tell me that that's what people are deciding on. In fact do a little research on thomas and tell me that the democratic and republican parties are all the same. Some people really have to have some extreme wackos calling for all sorts of thigs to think that they have a choice when the differences are like the difference between fine wines.
The electoral college is merely a method of having the people who voted for the president vote via proxy. There has only been one faithless elector in the past 200+ years of history.
If politics in Chicago is crooked then it get's investigated and they change or else face Federal sanctions, harsh punishments, withdrawl of highway funds, etc.
Unless of course you have a lot of small time movie houses and that usually dosn't last too long due to extreme expense that people get from being out of the loop and such.
Until the major companies black list the company and refuse to deal with them. It's kind of like the MPAA with movies sure you can make a movie that isn't rated but don't expect any theater to run it.

Not that it really matters for home users who don't usually need or want such features.

Some people are better public speakers than others and looking foolish to millions is to be expected.

Plus they don't have that personal touch
The book isn't a cracking tool in the least it's just a technical manual.
Make it kind of like an encyclopedia and sell updates to the book and have an online version. That would be really cool.
That presents a little problem

And not it's not a conspiracy.
If politics in Chicago is crooked then it get's investigated and they change or else face Federal sanctions, harsh punishments, withdrawl of highway funds, etc.
Good grief when will people stop with the conspiracies already. Voting machines are not conspiracies.
PS. Ever notice that Star Trek usually dosn't have any conspiracies and no conspiracy loons? Makes you think.
Unless of course you have a lot of small time movie houses and that usually dosn't last too long due to extreme expense that people get from being out of the loop and such.

the category that games that would have porn as their them on consoles would be in the AO category of rating and as of yet I havn't seen too many.
Come to think of it I havn't seen any porn related games lately for *any* system at any software shops that I frequent let alone open source ones.
