Important part is you have to construct both files. So if you were the distributor of said common file and people trusted you, you could produce two versions of said file, with same hash. But producing a identical hash to a file you can't change has currently not been successful.
Yes, but anyone in any country can be taught Calc3 as this study shows they are infact. What has always set America apart is our ability to think differently and come up with new ideas. This really is the main reason why we have any economy left is because we come up with the ideas, and then sell them to the rest of the world to be perfected and manufactured. How to continue to encourage free thought while also encouraging structured thought I don't know.
Sure, it hasn't fixed everything. It hasn't had time. There is so much to be fixed its amazing. Either way NCLB really concentrates its efforts as is tied to the funding for ESE, delinquents, and high miniority level schools. These are the problem areas its trying to fix, and I can tell you right now that atleast as far as ESE and delinquents go these a lot to be fixed. Its two main parts are requiring yearly improvements in test scores of children (there are some problems with this part of the law honestly, but its being worked on), and requiring teachers to be certified in the area they are teaching by 2006 I belive (an amazingly high number of teachers arn't certified despite it being a hugh statistical relevance to a students latter success in school).
I should mention that I work for the state in a group that monitors Juvenile Justice programs education accountablity.
Tell can charge exactly.99 euro in all or europe and.99 cents in America. Of course that means the europeans are being overcharged, but that doesn't violate euro policy as its still consistant throughout Europe.
Thats more government than it is private industry. Sadly its becoming more of a problem than less. My grant based institution used to be able to roll over money so that we could save up money over a few years for large upgrades. This is nolonger the case, and I don't know how we are going to manage being forced to piecemeal our upgrades a few parts per year.
Another way to think about this is, think of America as a large commune (yes I know we arn't communist, but we do have a social structure in place so the analogy works). Except that we have one big up from the rest of the communist systems. We have a reward structure called dollars. As these dollars can be printed indefinatly by our government they are fairly worthless, but the government does limit them so that they can be used to facilitate trade between individuals among this commune. Now if our government gives 1 trillion dollars to another country, its fairly meaningless, its almost an IOU. It doesn't have meaning untill that country or another country it is trading with returns that money to us and wants some products in return for that money. But as long as we are getting more labor for that money than we are returning its good for us. Or should this argument have been in the anti-globalization thread:)
Among self reported music "Success stories" (Definition 30 or more hours working on music and 80% income from music) 45% said internet has big effect on "Made it possible to make more money from you music" 45% said it had small effect same = 90% thought the internet helped them
While the same group 30% said it had big effect on "Made it harder to protect your music" 25% said it had small effect on same. = 55% thought it made it harder to protect their music. This does not mean they nessesarly thought it lost them money.
Statistics in other groups are slightly less in both catagories, meaning they didn't think it made much of an improvment or made it much harder.
Thought 35% of Success stories did think file sharing was bad for artist, this is not very high but higher than all artist, of which 23% thought it was bad for them.
I guess you could save some money if NASA could piece out the reward too. That way we wouldn't have to pay these companies much upfront. Let the private companies invest in NASA's success.
Actually like many very large construction projects one company would "win" but then would contract out pieces and get funding help from all the other companies in exchange for pieces of the later pie. The job would simply be too big for one company to handle by itself. So either you let one company manage it and peice it off. Or you let NASA manage it, and peice it off, which is what they do right now. Personally I think NASA would be the wise choice. But it doesn't make that big of a difference, except for the fact that NASA already has an investment in lauch facilities that can be used.
But you have to remember, without a gold standard such money is meaningless. Even with its still fairly meaningless. Either way what ultimatly is important is total work done. In order to accomplish many of the goals of "What we could have done with this money" We would have had to significantly increased our total output of goods to accomplish. Money doesn't get things done, people get things done. Now an important figure would be men taken out of work to fight overseas and productivity decreases because of it. I know there is some of that as companies have to hold positions, and some companies wern't willing to risk hiring someone new at the cost of having to many workers once the man/woman came back. But on the other hand the ones that did provided extra job that may not have been provided otherwise.

This of offshoring like we think of modern technology. It lets us get more done cheaper and quicker. As long as there is a decent social support net (be it government or charity) what ultimatly matters the most is efficency. As long as we can produce enough food and shelter for everyone, even if not everyone has work to do we are doing good. Isn't that ultimarly the goal of the theoretical tech utopia. The problem we are approaching is one of making sure everyone has something to do. But that requires inventing new jobs, and seeing to it that our population is well educated. That is the real challenge. Not fighting for the old jobs of the past.
Personally for me my family comes first, then everyone else. This means I am as concerned about someone in india getting a job as much as someone in buffalo. I do have national pride, I want our country to be important. But I'm not willing to starve off another countries economy just to make sure our citizens have luxeries past the basic nessessities. That is something each individual has to work for.

Actually more total money is being insourced than outsourced. In the form of foreigners hiring lawyers, architects, etc. Unless this changes, I'm not worried. Yes this does cost us some jobs, but in total it is simply forcing our shift into the information age. Let the third world enter the industrial age, I say, its about time.
I think he is referrering to a system like freenet where files are routed through random users, and said user has no way of knowing what files are routed through them because its encrypted. Even the files you are sharing on yor computer are encrypted and get spread out and split up in pieces among everyone else, so just because you have a piece of the file doesn't mean you asked for it. Its all about plausable deniability. You can't prove who put a file on the network, and you someone has no idea as to what files or pieces of files their computer is sharing.
I think its a ploy to make jurors and Judges give longer sentences. When prisons used to be dark holes, murderers would get a lot of time, while smaller crimes would only get a few months. Cause a few months in hell is a long time. While modern prisoner will get much longer sentences for such minor crimes.
Personally I'm waiting for a quality MMORG to come out that provides the option of per hour play for those who don't want to play much. Personally I might have the time to spend 30 minutes to an hour a day on such a game. I can't imagine having to pay the same as someone who spends every waking moment on it.
Yes, but the entire pupose of copyright is to promote the arts and science by encouraging the discemenation of works. Originally you could not have a copyright on something if you did not publically publish it. Copyright like patents are intended to reward for letting the cat out of the bag so to say.

Problem is there is no secure hash, its just not possible.

Ok, but why are you smacking the battery around?
No $15 dollars is fine for unlimited, but why not offer say $5 dollars a month for 40 hours a month for those who don't wish to play much.
No, because then people would sue you just to get your private records into the public.
