But if it *did*, he'd be majorly screwed, since a large percentage of the spam I receive, for example, comes from regions outside of the jurisdiction of U.S. National Legislation.
The spammers who are U.S.-based would merely move offshore. (Just think of the headlines -- evil legislation driving away lucrative American internet jobs... joke, joke).
The books draw on various religious beliefs to populate plot elements (including pseudo-Gnostic views, Christianity, and "secular" physics), but also draws on some pagan mythology, and a healthy dose of just good old made-up stuff.
There's a somewhat anti-Church theme in there as well, and definitely an anti-Authority theme.
It's a fun read. I'd recommend it. (I'd also recommend Chronicles of Narnia for the entertainment value, though. If your kids aren't exposed to it, they won't build up the antibodies)...
Gak. Why not actually talk about the situation with your girlfriend? You know, develop mutual trust?
Consider the following realworld scenario:
My girlfriend checks the security camera system, and sees that I entered the house arm in arm with some girl she doesn't know.
When she gets home, she asks me casually "So did you have a visitor today?"
Unless I turn red and start stuttering, she knows that she has nothing to worry about. I'll mention that my old friend so-and-so was in town, and I comforted her because of this or that.
Now, say I blankly deny having a visitor. Now it could be because I got distracted and forgot, or it could be because I'm covering up. So she can ask me about it, and if I've merely forgotten, this will remind me, and we're back at the previous situation.
Fundamentally, however, because we do communicate, she doesn't automatically jump to the conclusion that I'm trying to deceive her, and vice versa. And, in my humble opinion, the more you establish patterns of trust, the more likely both parties are to live up to trust.
Some bureaucrat wants to show how he's helping bring kids into the 21st century by bringing technology to the schools. No question, that's important! But there needs to be a foundation to build on.
I wish I knew the solution. It seems like the deck is now heavily stacked against the LAUSD by years of corruption, sudden directional changes in the world of education, tax cuts, etc. It's really too bad. That's our future.
The LA Unified School district can't afford books for all its kids, but they just spent a million dollars to roll out fiber optic drops to one of the Junior High schools. As far as I know, they are wiring all the schools.
Do not do unto others what you would not have them do unto you.
The bug in the original has led me into all sorts of problems. There I was at the beach -- when I noticed a gorgeous woman who I would have liked to have lick me all over my body. So I did unto her as I would have her do unto me. Unfortunately, there were a number of people who objected to this: the woman, her husband, and my girlfriend, not to mention the mean, evil, pinched-faced religious crusader under the next umbrella. Needless to say, I was pummeled by all involved, until I was so battered that today I just stay in my room posting to Slashdot.
I just completed several weekends-worth of crawling around in my attic dragging coax and 12 v power out to points around the perimeter of the house for a secondary security system.
Rather than doing the network camera thing, I'm bringing all of the cable to a PC running "motion" (http://motion.technolust.cx). This is video, so it's a lot lower resolution than 1.3 mp (~3.8 kilopixels).
Still, I can get about 15-20 fps on 4 streams easily enough.
It's enough for decent security monitoring. The cables are basically inaccessible, the thing's all on a UPS, and it'd take an expert to find the box where the stuff's getting recorded.
If I'd been a better shopper, the system would have priced out much lower. But with buying weatherproof color bullet-cams a couple of years ago, this is not price competitive with the network cams.
Interesting how quickly this kind of thing changes!
... PGP 7.0 had the annoying problem that the firewall / network filtering stuff it wanted to install would completely hose XP's network stack.
Oh, and if you ran the un-installer, trying to fix it, it would remove the TCP/IP stack from XP altogether (even though that's not supposed to be possible).
If you rolled back using the XP Configuration tool, it was all OK. If you tried to reinstall XP's TCP/IP stack alone, or repair it using the install disk, you got mightily screwed by the fact that XP doesn't do a proper TCP/IP reinstall, coupled with the fact that when you run this reinstall/repair, it blows away your ability to roll back to a good configuration.
OUCH...
Of course, if you installed it without the network stuff, it was OK, and just makes XP occasionally pop up messages saying that the SDK driver is unavailable.
Back when I was in high school, all the computers were... well, shit, there weren't any computers at school.
Although by my Senior year, we did have some Apple IIs. They were networked by a sophisticated sneakerNet that had physical authentication (so-called "room keys") plus an implicit web-of-trust system based upon the user themself (not even their UID!).
Ah, those were the days.
Today, my phone has over 10 times the system clock speed that my home computer did then, 2048 times more memory, and over four times more addressable screen pixels (not to mention that they're 4-bit pixels on the phone, and were 1-bit pixels on the machine)!
If you can't trust your friends with your data, you really need new friends. But if you can't get new friends (who have network connected servers) quickly enough, you can always use Ben Escoto's duplicity.
Good God, has the spectrum in the US moved that far to the right?
Salon may be left/center, but I don't recall seeing any articles demanding redistribution of land in the US or violently returning the means of production to the proletariat. Far left is Revolution, my friend, where you don't publish people like David Horowitz, you string them up in the city square.
Yes, but the PalmOS 5 doesn't add any user-visible features over 4.1. It *does* run ARM code, however, whereas 4.x and earlier only run Dragonball code.
As for games... you can run the Greatest Palm Game of all: Space Trader (http://www.cs.unimaas.nl/p.spronck/picoverse/Spac eTrader/STDownload.html) so quitcherwhinin!

Back in the 20s, my grandfather, from Oberschlesien (Upper Silesia, now Poland), went to the University in Muenchen (Munich). After a week of listening to people speaking Bayrisch (Bavarian), he writes a letter home to his mother expressing shock at the number of foreigners in Muenchen -- in fact, he has yet to meet a German in the city, after an entire week!
Of course, he *was* an absent-minded professor type, but still...
Actually, "begging a question" has a long and illustrious history of misuse.
Still, it's not nearly as annoying to me as the substitution of "myself" when people mean "I," or people misusing apostrophes, or, heaven forfend, suggesting that I "take a different tact."

Yes, but some of the scrolls were in pretty bad shape.

There's a lot of debate as to how to fit the fragments together -- different approaches lead to different interpretations of the text.
They didn't use CRC on Aramaic or Syriac in those days

Sweet!
http://rdiff-backup.stanford.edu/duplicity.html
Get a friend who has a server a few hundred kilometers (or more) away from yours.
Install rdiff-backup (http://rdiff-backup.stanford.edu/). Create a cron job that backs up your critical data.
Enjoy nightly, incremental, versioned backups. Wanna restore the latest? Easy. Wanna restore last Tuesday's? No Problem.
Thus, if you're left with a network connection and a machine after the disaster, you can restore the data as fast as your network will allow.

Compare the speed-functionality-$ ratio, and they're comparable (maybe not for Palm brand devices, but this is generally true for Palm OS devices).
... it's going for Sim Realism.
Players who have Sim Protests will get their machines Sim Wiretapped.
Sim players who organize the protests of McVomit's will get slapped with Sim Product Libel suits.
Players who have too many Sim House Parties will be Sim Evicted from the Sim Neighborhood.
Players who set up affairs on Sim Hot Date will be Sim Sued for Sim Alienation of Affection.
Player who have too many Sim Vacations will be Sim Fired from their jobs for Sim Absenteeism.
Players who go on Sim Safari will get Sim Blood thrown on them by Sim PETA Protestors.
Then it'll get even worse:
The people who play "Crush, Crumble & Chomp" with their Sim world will get sent to the Sim Guantanamo Bay for Sim terrorism.
Players who allow the "incorrect" pairings on Sim Hot Date will be Sim Damned.

How much do you think Microsoft lost on Internet Explorer through its first three or four versions?
