What is possible today is a franchise based voting system based not on the old premis of land ownership, but on our participation in society. We could be rewarded for our qualifications, our age, our life experience, with voting points within our areas of expertise. We could continually vote within our fields of expertise on issues of governance, and be rewarded for this participation by having more voting points within our individual areas of expertise. yeah but the slashdot karma system isn't open source. How about just sending money to programs you support, there are ways to make donations to government programs that are tax deductible or tax credited within certain limits, from what we've seen lately money counts for more than votes anyways.
I think your whacked, why me and Joe was sitting at the counter at the donut shop talking about them stem cells with the homeless wino and between the three of us we got the whole thing figured out in no time....
and their name is as good as dirt and never used again. Not dirt, but mudd, after Dr. Mudd, the doctor that set the broke leg of Lincoln's assassin unknowing he was Lincoln's assassin.

The output from LaTeX/TeX is a DVI file, DeVice Independent file, theoretically there were printers that would take the.DVI formated files and print them directly at an astounding 600 dpi resolution, everybody else had either daisy-wheel or 9 pin dot matrix printers. The difference in quality between a DVI printer and the state of the art dot matrix or daisy-wheel printer was breathtaking, the DVI format is much more like postscript than anything else. Now-a-days the DVI is ran through a programs dvips to convert to postscript or dvipdf to convert to a PDF format which is then usually distributed or printed.
To be honest the wife just took English a while back and the styles she had to use was significantly dumbed-down to a much more casual style to accommodate the short-comings of Word, as compared to the more formal styles when I went to college, so I wouldn't be surprised to learn that those few old-farts you have there don't consider the youngsters to be vulgar and semi-literate
Implementing TeX is cumbersome and irritating, and with rather little benefit given that many major journals have (wisely) chosen to go with the most popular format I was helping the wife, with a paper she was doing on her Windows (XP SP2 )machine, so I installed MiTeX and it was dreadfully difficult. I had Horrendous file permission problems (LUA set up for security), and trying to use wordpad to edit LaTeX file was just crazy stupid, it kept changing to unrecognized characters such as changing the second opening quote to a closing quote. So I agree with you, assuming your using Windows, however LaTeX is mature and a joy to use in Linux, its a world of difference.
Neither does he. You don't need LaTeX to write mathematics. The field got along quite well for a rather long time before LaTeX came to be Think what you are referring to is the transition from cast in lead Linotype machine generated printing galleries to computer generating typesetting, because the TeX/LaTeX technology far preceedes the WYSIWYG word-processors. The TeX/LaTeX workflow involves a methodology foriegn to most, its an edit/compile/view process more like programming, yet there is its real power, the workflow lends itself to concepts from software engineering like version control, modularization, reuse of content and code into a workflow pipeline. You just have to remember that a word processor is for processing words, LaTeX is a document preperation system, use the right tool for the right job, not the tool Microsoft thinks might work with great difficulty because its what they have to sell.
Letting an employee have a company windows OSed laptop that they can take home for "work", and to connect to the internet to browse websites is like have sex without a condom; its just asking for trouble. There is a saying, "Keep your tools in the tool box and keep you toys in the toy box."
just end the subsidy Sure no problem, after giving the TELCO's billions in subsidies, we'll just switch over to an unregulated free-market where any company with the capital resources of a G8 country can compete.
actually the sea levels will not change by meters according to the latest models, and the reasons that it's not destroying everybody else's economy is because nobody is seriously attempting to meet the standards, in other words everybody else is all talk and no action.
Then again, oil companies don't make money selling us LESS oil and gasoline, do they? they do if the put more of the base-stock into specialty chemicals rather than commodity fuel
Except how are you going to convince a tree poacher to replant a forrest? These guys are making more money poaching tree than drug dealers do with illegal the drug trade. The best thing to do is just not buy wood products that are species that are likely to be illegally harvested and to purchase your wood only from dealers like Home Depot that only purchase certified wood. OBTW the Chinese are up to their asses in illegally harvested wood.
No one would let a trash-disposal company make money by dumping rubbish in their backyard - it's interesting that many people feel that public commons, like air and water, are somehow different. We've been trying to stop the Canadians from importing trash into Michigan for years, but the Feds keep saying that it's interstate commerce and to keep your hands off. The result is convoys of Canadian trash haulers bring trash in from Toronto that run non-stop day and night. From Toronto to Port Huron is a 2 1/2 hr drive by car so figure 3-4 hours by semi truck wonder what that does for global warming! considering the trucks come in loaded, return bob-tail and only can make one run a day, the pigs in Toronto must really be paying through the nose for trash removal.
Ford has a automated fire supression system available in their Crown Vic's that are often used for Police cars. When the car is rear-ended and then comes to a complete stop, the system activates. The biggest customers to date are Taxi cab companies not police organisations.
Doesn't hurt as much as you'd imagine, the pain overwhelms before the mind can process it into anything like hurt or agony. After the blisters break open and big flaps of skin fall away so the air can hit the raw nerve ending that's when it starts to hurt
yeah well it's the same with kiddie porn, I fail to see the entertainment value, but the perverts who like that sort of stuff do. Snuff videos, staging bum fights, faggot busting, gang rapes and even school kids who "befriend" the unpopular kids so they can video an ambush are all about the same in my book.
1) "several kilometers" from a land station is not the "high seas." (The US claims a 12 mile territorial limit) It's not several kilometers from land, it's several kilometers between the home ship and the interdicted ship
Overseen by the Navy's Program Executive Office for C4I, the Expanded Maritime Interception Operations (EIMO) wireless system provides a data link between crews on interdicted vessels and their home ship up to a few nautical miles away. Unlike a simple radio unit, these wireless links can transmit biometric data, scanned documents, digital photos and e-mail from the boarding team, allowing near real-time analysis of such artifacts. The units use the 802.11g wireless protocol and Federal Information Processing Standard 140-2 encryptions standards. Navy floats on-board Wifi
and it called Expanded Maritime Interception Operations because we want to stop ships that may be smuggling WMD like nuclear weapons, chemical or biological agents or radiologically contaminating bombs before they enter coastal waters.after the data is onboard the home ship, its transfered through more traditional means to port.
I doubt the the US Navy operating on the High Seas using a line-of-sight frequencies need worry about FCC Regulations. Mostly reason for the power restrictions is so civians don't interfere with government use of the airways
I would think that the critical questions are 1. does copying in total, a webpage from a blog and sending to it your lawyers and bragging about it in an email constitute admission of copyright infringement, 2. how many lawyers in Atlanta would take the copyright infringement case on contingency, 3. was the comment on the bloger's site stating that the "radio station" ran by Blue Skye didn't even have a licence to play the music correct.
Whether a law in the United States applies to you or even an American outside the country or not depends predominately in how the law is worded; if the law is worded like "It is illegal for anyone in the United States to..." you are probably ok to ignore the US law, if the law is worded "It is illegal for anyone to..." (NOTE: the missing "in the United States" part) you should probably consider yourself fair game to the USG if you break the law and consider very carefull how much effort the US would put into running your sorry ass down, how much effort your willing to put into avoiding the run-down.

just end the subsidy
Sure no problem, after giving the TELCO's billions in subsidies, we'll just switch over to an unregulated free-market where any company with the capital resources of a G8 country can compete.

you say that like the former Soviet Union had an pristine enviroment
