  2. Paper is not the whole answer on NYT Says Paperless Voting A Serious Problem · · Score: 1

    Paper is not whole answer. here is why

    1. Paper need to be traceable. Like money it need to have serial number build into the paper with lenght markers. Serial number are given to one machine and are recorded. Sign by both parties.

    2. A receit to take home. That has all vote the machine counted so far time and dated. Is plain text how many people voted. Encrypted for each iteam. The key is publish went the polls close. You can then scan you voting receit to find out the information hidding on it.

    3. The voting system need to be GNU. Fully open nothing hidden.

  3. DRM = serial number = Gun foot pull trigger on Intel Adds DRM to New Chips · · Score: 1

    I guess Intel just want to die. This will kill their sells. I guess you do not need sells as long as M$ keep paying the bills.

  4. If light is in waves - Solar Cell are Antennas on Double-Slit Experiment in Time, Not Space · · Score: 1

    With an antennas the size and lenght is base off of wave size. If the size is right the antennas get twice the amount of gain. Also the directors and reflector need to be base off of wave size.

    Does this help.....

  8. Re:Back to the issue at hand, MS has the right to. on Microsoft To Be Fined E500M By European Union? · · Score: 3, Informative

    I have to disagree with you because MS has all most all of the desktop market. How about what MS has done too:

    DR-DOS - Would not run under 95 because of a TSR that look for DR-DOS

    Stacker - Added to DOS 6.0 to kill them

    Netscape - IE for FREE with OS

    OS/2 - OS2 and Win 3.1 was going to come out at the same time. MS did not wait.

    Lotus 123 - The OS is not done until Lotus does not run.

    Word Perfect - Lets give Word with the OS to lock people in.

    Java - Lets change the stander so MS JAVA would not run on any other platform.

    Is Real Audio or Google next?

    If there was five large companies making an OS systems, I would now have a problem with them adding new stuff. But when one company has 90% of the market and killing anyone else that might have a good idea. I have a real problem with them.

    If you look at the pricing of MS it is starting to come down because of Linux. I have seen MS paid to fix problems with their systems because the company was going to switch to Linux for that service. There servers are going over slower to Linux now. It would have been faster if MS was not helping.

    I think the writing is on the wall we just need to wait.

  9. Let M$/Phoenix kill themselves with DRM on Phoenix DRM Reads Your E-Mail · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Let Microsoft/Phoenix kill themselves.

    Did not M$ learn any thing from the Intel serial number in the processor, killing there sells. The only reason that M$ does not want to do the DRM in the OS is that it does not want to have to share the APIs ( because of antitrust ) and can lock in people to M$ to look at there own documents if you go to switch to Linux that your will loose your documents.

  11. I have taken the all on Linux Certification Roundup · · Score: 1

    I have taken the LPI 101,102 beta tests and I only passed 102 tested. The 101 test ask some very out of the way questions like: What command give you a list of all running process with out and command line switches? Stuff I never uses day to day. I have also taken the Brainbench tests ID number 49992. If you go there you many have to loaded it about 5 time to get it, NT is running it. :-)
    If you ask me the Brain Bench's test are more real world.
