Nevada can afford to spend the money needed to check the software because they get a ton of money from the casinos in taxes. How much money does your state spend on elections?
But anyway, think what the voter turnout would be if random voters occasionally won a cash jackpot. I'm guessing over 100%.
Get your facts right: "Linux is successfully compromised more than any other operating system". Mostly due to people setting it up straight out of the red box without adequately Reading The Fine Manual.
They used to publish these big books that had people's name and address right there for anyone to see. What an invasion of privacy!! I think they were called phone books, but someone must have made them stop doing that as you never see them anymore.
Actually, the whole idea of number portability is stupid. Are we asking for IP portability from our ISP? No. DNS allows seamless changes (if your ISP tech support is on the ball).
We should have the same thing for telephones, dial by name + identifying hierarchical description. Like:
Joe Doe -> gives local list of Joe Does to select from Joe Doe @ NY, NY -> gives list from Manhattan + them other boroughs
etc. Why am I expected to treasure some freaking 10-digit number?
It sounds like if you were to publish a list of the times that divide the movie into chapters, you might be breaking the law, as far as Norway is concerned. You would be circumventing the built-in digital controls of the DVD.
Once we agree that buying the DVD doesn't give us rights to use the information however we wish, then the legal implications are wide open.
It reminds me of people who live near high-tension lines "stealing" power from the electric utility by wrapping a few turns of wire around their house. Just because the electric field is on your property, can you make use of it?
Unfortunately, this is not true. The downside of getting natural anthrax is that you get sick, the downside of getting weaponized anthrax is that you die very quickly. The 5 people who died in 2001 were the first confirmed deaths from anthrax in 20 years.
These first synthetic viruses may be OK, the problem will be who gets to use the new technology and what they decide to use it for.
There were communes in the 70s that used a bid system for jobs instead of money. The more bids, the less points. Everyone had to work to a certain number of points. All jobs were open to bidding. Cleaning paid high points, exercising horses paid really low. It actually worked pretty well when people didn't rig the bids (which of course people did).
The hams seem to have a pretty good handle on solar weather. Its also the first site I found that explains what this M3.5 X17 X28 etc scale is. Seems to be logarithmic scale of X-ray flux averaged over 5 minute periods.

Yes, that's 224,000 bugs in Mozilla. You ever try to track one down? I have. Having the source in order to find bugs isn't very useful on a program this size. And Mozilla source is all web-accessible and cross-referenced. (Hey, almost 250,000 bugs. Bet there will be a/. article)
The main reason to have the source is so that I can access my data, not the code. Its "free" in the sense that I can take it someplace else instead of being forced to buy software upgrades. That's way more important (at least to me) than being able to find or fix bugs.
Because the kickbacks from Nokia pay for this site. What did you think? Next you'll be telling me there were compelling story reasons to have Coca Cola and Camels in every movie.
You're forgetting how many handicapped people are in the world. This can be useful for blind, MS or even arthritic folks. Microsoft has done enough damage making web pages that can't be rendered except by IE, maybe this is a little payback.
MT-Blacklist seems to be based on string matching against a fixed table. Doomed. Why not use a DNSRBL like SPEWS or a "Bayesian" filter like popfile? I would think that either could be readily adapted to weblogs.

I keep my files organized.
A standard file hierarchy is a database with only one dimension, and one hierarchy. You can organize with one first level characteristic, then for each of those subtrees, one 2nd level, and so on. A database lets you have multiple hierarchies simultaneously.
You don't lose organization, you gain multiway organization. The real issue is that you need something better than the typical flat directory listing or tree listing to view the structure of your data. MS needs to combine this with things like the Data Mountain to allow you to visualize in new ways.
If you have something important to do, use perl. If you don't, then use perl/Tk. Its easy to learn, and good for writing short, silly graphics apps that will run equally well (or poorly) in Linux or Windows.
Of course, in that case you alse need Mastering Perl/Tk

What kind of person?
spammers
People who expect to make money by hacking systems and using them to send millions of unsolicited emails.
A DVD "is comprised of" ...
I wince every time I hear that.
OK everyone, the parts comprise the whole, the whole is composed of the parts. Got it?
and while we're at it...
"The SpamCop Email System will filter up to 90% of spam sent to your employees."
Thats "up to" not "at least" so I guess not much of a guarantee, but then again, they only charge $30 a year.
Actually, some jerkoff in his garage has either:
1) Made 1000 pirate copies of Norton and is selling them via spam.
or 2) Is willing to accept your credit card information and not send you anything.
Virtually all spam offers are bogus.
See Symantec
Also no mention of how noisy these are. I'm guessing that secret surveillance use is unlikely.
I like that trailer. Does anyone have a download of it?

So, lets see. We have 65,000 killed or injuried divided by 430. Why yes, safe as houses!
Of course, thats in Russia. No US company would ever let a dangerous plant get out of control. Just ask anyone in Bhopal.
Yeah. No problems in Open Source software:

Yes. Every foreseen risk has been calculated. I've seen the big brown books.

Chernobyl
Some risks aren't foreseen, aren't calculated correctly, or the people involved just do something stupid.
