As you are no doubt aware by now, you have
been manipulated by your own party. Now,
things are getting out of control. These
things that are happening, you have no direct
control over them. You hear about them after
the fact. They tell you that the police were
just doing their duty, just enforcing the law.
But things don't sound and smell right, do they
Mr. President?
Now, what I'm about to say will be very difficult
to accept, but in your heart, you know that
you must do what is right for the future of the
country. And that is the future that *you*, Mr. President Bush, that *you* know, in *your* heart,
what is really best in the long term for
the future of the United States of America,
and ultimately, the entire planet.
Is it the mess that we have today, that has
been created by forces beyond your control,
or will it be a future that has a 'Fair and Balanced' America because life is 'Fair and
Balanced' for the citizens?
Or, will you allow these forces to continue
down the dangerous path leading to disaster?
Mr. President Bush, you *know* in your heart
that things are just not right. You know that
you have been lied to by your advisors.
Mr. President, the truly honourable action
in this situation, is to anounce on national
TV on November 1st that you realize these things,
and that the best course of action for the
entire country would be for everyone to vote
for Senator Kerry the next day.
So, you don't mind taking away the right of people to
get off their asses?
People are being disenfranchised even when
they decide to participate. If you don't
understand that, *you* should not be allowed to vote yourself!
Re:And now we are waiting for uclibc ver 1.0
on
BusyBox Goes 1.0.0

· Score: 2, Informative
Put grub, your kernel, rootfs on a minixfs floppy.
I've built this (just yesterday) with uClibc-0.9.26
and BusyBox-1.00 without problems. There are still
bugs of course, but overall works fine. In addition, I have dropbear, so I can use it to rescue my headless boxes after I mess up. Also
has mke2fs and e2fsck. Iptables also. And the correct NIC module. With grub I can recover
if I mess up lilo or grub on the harddrive.
All fits
on a 1.44MB floppy.
Warning: use gcc-2.95.3 and Linux-2.4.x to
save space.
And that validation could be done with LiveScript,
now known as JavaScript. If this pre-1995 example is not
enough prior art to invalidate the patent, I'm sure
there is plenty of other stuff.
Your points are very, very good. It's truly
a sad state of affairs when someone outside
of the U.S. has obviously been paying more
attention to the U.S. mess than more than 90% of the U.S. population itself!
This entire case was setup by ms.
The patents are lame, but this is just par for
the course until software patents are outlawed.
By having Sun not appeal, they are trying to
make the patents look legit.
The signal is electromagnetic radiation.
Visible light is electromagnetic radiation (emr).
Do you want the government to legislate that
you cannot close your window blinds so that
light must be allowed in?
Once the emr is emitted, the emitter has
no control over the emr anymore. You should be
able to block it, or accept it and possibly
process it in some useful way.
Just because the emr contains a digital signal
should not take away your right to block/use
the emitted emr in any manner you chose,
including recording the digital signal in the emr,
which may just contain a broadcast flag.
But it could be "fixed" by legislation mandating the expansion of the FCC's regulatory powers into any electronic device dealing with encryption, probably under some omnibus Patriot Terrorism/Hacker-Prevention Pedophile Spammer Slammer Act. Such legislation would sail through Congress.
And this is the true and present danger that
could occur depending upon the outcome of the
upcoming election. MS and the Greedy Old Party
would drool over the prospect of that level of
control.
You hit the problem on the head. MS IE is the
number one problem. Amit Yoran most likely quit
because he could not get through to the idiots
in charge that MS is the problem, *because* of
all of the influence that MS has over the government.
Anyone that refuses to see the problem that MS is
and continues to embrace MS software products
in spite of more secure alternatives is stupid,
corrupt, owns too much MS stock, or all of the
above.
From the actual ruling by U.S. District Judge Jermey Fogel:
[from page 13 of the pdf]:
The fact that Diebold never actually brought suit
against any alleged infringer suggests strongly
that Diebold sought to use the DMCA's safe harbor
provisions - which were designed to protect ISPs,
not copyright holders - as a sword to suppress publication of embarrssing content rather than as
a shield to protect its intellectual property.
[From page 15 of the pdf - boldness added for emphasis]:
(4) Within ten (10) days of the date this Order is filed, Plaintiffs shall submit a brief addressing
the monetary relief, including attorneys' fees and
costs...
So, by my reading, the monetary relief could
include damages, and depending upon your definition
of damages, could be interesting.
You misunderstood. While definitely a member
of congress can be found guily of treason,
congress (as a body) can prevent said convicted
congressmen from actually seeing any penalty
(including the death penalty). So, as a body,
congress could allow it's members to commit
treason, yet also prevent any penalty. Once
a sufficient majority of congress is sufficiently
corrupt, what is to prevent such a scenario?
Sorry, but we are way past 1984.
The problem is that you (and 99% of the
rest of the U.S. population), does not
know it because they don't pay attention.
Believe me, if bush the puppet is re-elected,
you will know.

What TLA agency is in charge of that again?

They can turn around and sue ms for creating the spyware platform in the first place.

It *MUST NOT* occur.
And whom can set the laws?
I believe you made my point.
And possibly even if they don't. Is it Diebold?
But they are not. What does that tell you?
That seems to be the problem with the U.S. gubmint.
On a properly secured Linux machine, I'll take my chances vs the lightning.
Anyone that refuses to see the problem that MS is and continues to embrace MS software products in spite of more secure alternatives is stupid, corrupt, owns too much MS stock, or all of the above.
That should be Jeremy Fogel.
Sorry about the typo your Honor.

Unfortunately, due to a loophole in the U.S. Constitution, they can make sure they never have to face the death penalty for treason. See bottom.
So, the U.S. Constitution has a fundamental flaw, it allows a totally corrupt congress to commit treason against it's own country with impunity.
And while we're at it, how about fines that are proportionate to revenue instead of fixed, meaningless amounts to large corporations such as MS.
Believe me, if bush the puppet is re-elected, you will know.
