...to a country near you: Corporate Feudalism. Since Bush Sr. gave the U.S.P.T.O. unlimited power ten years ago, they've patented everything--notably things that possess these two qualities: universal dependence and lack of novelty. It won't be long before we (individually) can all be sued into a state of indenture for violating patents which should not have been issued in the first place.
Okay, about six years ago the Clinton administration came up with this irie Energy Star rating that is given to products with low-power mode capabilities. It seems that computers everywhere, especially in California, would switch their monitors (which consume 200 - 500 watts) into low power mode after a reasonable period of idleness. Take a few hundred watts per household, plus many thousands of watts per office, and there's a large amount of power wasted on keeping picture tubes warm.
However, the makers of the most popular consumer operating system in the world (and that's not an endorsement) do not have the low-power mode enabled by default; therefore, only true nerds and relatives/friends/s.o.'s of said nerds have their low-power monitor setting enabled!
Think about it--no one (but nerds, etc...) explores MS's non-default options. Look at the proliferation of j03 5cr1p7 k17713 who takes advantage of the enabled-by-default Windows Scripting Host and wreaks havoc across the internet.
The Energy Star thing is an example of a great idea that suffered from poor implementation. I see that the solution is to integrate the setting into the monitor and leave it on by default.
None of those are brands that I have messed with. Tom's Hardware ran a piece about three months ago on mobos using the i815 chipset. The usual suspects (Asus, Abit, Gigabyte, etc...) all had high benchmarks and high subjective ratings of reliabilty from the testers.
In the past, any attempt at integration on the chipset absolutely sucked. It's not much better now if you only consider the three boards reviewed in this article. Don't forget that it is entirely beneficial if the engineers have the time and resources to finish the job before the deadline imposed by the marketing assholes.
Just think of the performance enhancements that can be had by moving the remainder of the video processing off of the cpu, or using an integrated LAN circuit rather than wasting PCI polls on a NIC that sits idle most of the time.
Just because it's being done poorly now doesn't mean that the idea itself is bad.
I guess it won't be long before the GM people come out with a procedure to replace those defective genes in our melanocytes with genes that don't go cancerous when jiggled over a billion times per second by a cell phone transmitter.
I just wonder if the cost of the procedure will require the selling off of my first-born, or my first- and second-born.

Uh-oh, the KTB troll is at it again:
Now, for the first time in the history of the planet Earth, there are no wars whatsoever between
nation states anywhere. There is a direct relationship between the number of nuclear bombs in our posession,
and the amount of violence our civilisation suffers from.
Ahem. Major unsubstantiable statements. I do agree that the sheer quantity of nuclear weapons owned by the U.S. and C.I.S. are a deterrent, if that is what you are really trying to say. However, this isn't the first time in history. You see, one is never "there", but one is always "going" there. Our relative peace is but a phase between times of war. In just six days, we will have a draft-dodging, crooked, alcoholic, warmonger in the White House. War is in our near future.
As far as your assertion of a negative relationship between quantity of nuclear weapons and the level of violence, that is obvious bosh. Please stop trolling slashdot. Thank you.
The Cuban missile crisis seems to me like the beginning of the end of the great U.S./U.S.S.R. pissing contest. There weren't any obvious changes reflected in our (U.S.) culture, but the aftermath of a trauma such as impending armaggedon definitely brews quietly in the subconscious mind.
We had The Day After when I was about ten years old. That movie educated an entire American generation in the folly of full-scale nuclear war. Does one's form of government (communism vs. pseudo-democratic) really matter so much that all of life must come to an end, either in a blinding flash or a slow poisoning? Had Thirteen Days been release while still timely, the spontaneous peace-and-love revolution of the late 60's probably would have come sooner and not been crushable by The Man.
I could be wrong, but I think we are still experiencing the slow changes from those thirteen days where our leaders were confronted for the first time with the ugly fruits of the anti-Communist zealots who had planted the seeds not a generation before.
We just got a Starbucks in our lil' downtown a few months ago. At night, it's the turf of the hip-n-trendy 90210 college students from south Florida. During the day, however, it is overrun w/ attorneys on their way to & fro the courthouse, judges doing the same, DEA faggots, etc...
Once these folks start slinking into Starbucks w/ their laptops & nursing steamy lattes while their insecure o/s does a NetBIOS broadcast over the 802.11 net--ooh, it's almost too much to bear.
Some nutcase could intercept all kinds of cool shit & really change the outcome of court cases, etc... Imagine if the DEA starts doing raids on the wrong houses (oops, they've already done that). The possibilites are endless.
When I saw "Tito Good To Go", I thought for a second that the article was about Tito Jackson of the Jackson Five fame. He may not have the bucks to go to space, but I'm sure his brother Michael does. Maybe he could check out the anti-aging effects of space! Now if we could only stuff the Elephant Man's bones in his luggage...
Anyone remember why, or how, the Phillipines got to be so Catholic? Why all Philipinos are named after Catholic feasts & holidays? Because the "Compassionate" Christians killed the non-believers in my name. Talk about attrition! If one were to add up all of the dead bodies from the Crusades, the Inquisition, and the Colonization years, Hitler would look like a boy scout.
Truth is, you can go anywhere in the world where there are brown-skinned folk (except for the middle east, more on that later...), and you will find a Catholic stronghold. It disgusts me, personally. In such countries, the Catholic church exerts heavy influence on all aspects of life. It's no surprise to see what they're doing in the Phillipines.
I'm hoping that one day people will rise up and destroy the vampiristic death cult (I mean, they want to eat my body and drink my blood to gain eternal life, right?) that is the Catholic church. The Mafia, having its head cut off in the process, will unravel like a colony of ants that has lost its queen.
This person hit the nail on the head. In keeping with a 600+ year tradition, the white is about to fuck the black once again.
If any white person (or country) wanted to truly help an African, and by 'help' I mean with no strings attached, said white would feed said African or teach said African how to grow food. Instead, whitey always plants the seed of his own profit on African soil. Any 'gift' to Africa always has some string attached, such as an explicit (or implicit) agreement that will favor whitey sooner or later. For examples, foreign aid never comes without 'encouragement' to have a western-style government, or to house our troops, or to get addicted to our tobacco or our coca-cola (leading cause of diabetes worldwide). So, five years from now we'll be farming out our web design to a Ghanan for $1/hr, but he won't be able to afford our overpriced cancer drugs. It's like slavery, but enough money changes hands to make it appear not to be.
It seems like every time I pick up a newspaper or turn on the tv, there's some idiot telling me that genetic researchers have found the gene that "causes" cancer or some other dreaded disease.
We already know the cause of cancer: carcinogens. We eat, drink, and breathe them, and have since the rise of consumer culture. The same marketroids who have pushed all of this crap on us are the same marketroids who are going to sell us the high-priced cures.
There is a much better use for a machine like this--use it to model human population negative growth from cancer, etc... Maybe then we can get all of the marketroids and GM researchers/investors into cattle cars and ship them off to Madagascar or somewhere...
I'm well aware of them. Perhaps you should check the dates on those cases and realize that's all ancient history in this dawn of neo-feudalism. Let's see how soon the antitrust laws go away.

What's that saying? A fool and his money are soon parted.
Yeah, they do so much for the community--such as keeping their employees in poverty, supporting right-wing organizations, forcing mom-n-pops out of business through predatory pricing, receiving corporate welfare through their (some)drug-free workplace program, and jacking up the price on plywood after a hurricane takes out half of Florida.
The relationship between (some)drugs and workplace injury has not been credibly established. However, a recent study on driver impairment shows that the top three factors are:
sleep deprivation
alcohol
other drugs
Ahem. Why don't employers test for alcohol? Because the Drug-Free Workplace Program offers federally-subsidized discounts (up to 50%) on Workers' Compensation premiums for companies that do (some)drug testing. The politicians have somehow convinced America that alcohol is not a drug! As far as I know, (some)drug screening only occurs in "the land of the free". Ironic.
So, next time you're in a Home Depot, beware of employees who may be drunk to ease the depression from wage slavery, or who are sleep-deprived from having to work a second job to make ends meet

I would guess that my e-mail is boring from a law enforcement perspective, but I still hate the fact that some bored feeb fsck can read one of my future inventions & pawn it off to someone he owns a favor to. Or, even worse, (s)he could spoof me and tie me to any unsolved case. This is 100% unlikely, but still bothered me until I read further into the article. Check this out (emphasis added):
3.5 SOFTWARE ARCHITECTURE
The Carnivore software consists of four components
1. TapNDIS driver (written in C) derived from sample source code provided with Win32
Network Driver Interface Specification (NDIS) Framework (WinDis 32), a product of
Printing Communications Associates, Inc. (PCAUSA, http://www.pcausa.com) The
license for WinDis 32 prevents the FBI from releasing the source code for this driver, and
possibly for TapAPI.dll, to the public. The relevant portions of the WinDis 32 license are
shown in Appendix D.
2. TapAPI.dll (written in C++) provides the API for accessing the NDIS driver functionality
from other applications.
3. Carnivore.dll (written in C++) provides functionality for controlling the intercept of raw
data.
4. Carnivore.exe (written in Visual Basic) is the GUI for Carnivore.
With all those.dlls, it sure looks like winbloze to me. They'll probably trail the Lindbergh baby kidnapper & fsck it up by getting the famous M$ Blue Screen of Death.
By the way, I just love that lame excuse for hiding the source code. Et tu, corporate America?
In other words, how far can I trust him as an ally.
That's easy. How far can you throw him?
Seriously though, you have to take the man as a whole. This may be the only issue which you agree with him on. Which makes me wonder, what doesn't he want the feebs to see in his e-mail?
