As a Canadian, I'm concerned about so many US companies having information about me, which they (may) make available to a foreign ( i.e., US ) government.
Even worse are companies doing work for the Canadian government, such as Loughheed and the Canadian census. Will our census information be stored somewhere in Tennessee or Idaho? Will US government employees be searching through Canadian data, searching for marijuana users or criminal Darwinists?
It's tacky if people in space have to say, "I'm going to the toilet", into a radio that might be heard by anyone on Earth. Instead, they would be able to say, "I'm going to file a Colbert Report."
I wanted to do the same thing, so I got a cheap Gateway machine and tried to install Solaris 10. The boot disk runs fine right up to the point where it searches for drives to store the OS on. It can't find the very standard built-in SATA controller on the Intel motherboard.
You won't find many SUVs among WalMart greeters or people with MacJobs... or even ordinary cars. These are public transit people, one step away from sleeping under a bridge.
You're all being distracted by the minor detail of Creationism and Intelligent Design.
The essential aspect of this article is that George Bush supports the presentation of alternative viewpoints, so that people can make intelligent decisions on their own.
All citizens are finally allowed to be informed on all concepts:
Perhaps it is better to control access to guns.
Alternatly, maybe the right to bear arms includes nuclear weapons.
Can it be that the poor people of third world countries use terrorism to lash out at the oppression that stiffles their lives?
Is it a war crime when George Bush invades countries without cause, or only when Milosevic does so?

Perl Medic

· Score: 2, Informative
I agree, perl medic is a great book, influential in encouraging and developing good habits.
Peter will be speaking, though not on the same topic, at YAPC:2005, June 27, 28, 29 in Toronto. There's a whole day's worth of workshops on perl6, including PUGS, most of a day on testing, as well as threads on DBI, CGI, and lots of other workshops. Register now! At $85US for registration, it's the best bargain you'll find this year.
If you are planning to attend, Book your hotel room soon. The host hotel is only guaranteeing room availability till next weekend. There's a huge conference coming to Toronto a few days after YAPC, so the hotel wants to start making rooms available for early arrivals. Not that all the rooms will disappear the first day, but you wouldn't want to be disappointed, would you?
It would be useful to track patients within a hospital, to reduce the number of people found weeks later in a closet or some unused section of the building.
The RFID could also help ensure the people receive the correct medicines, and that the correct leg/arm/lung is removed.
Of course, removing the tag becomes a complication
The architects, engineers and contractors who design and build bridges, buildings and other structures accept a certain responsability, for that matter so do plumbers and electricians.
Of course, someone building a shed or a doghouse is exposed to less liabilty than the builders of a n office tower in earthquake territory.
I use my knife to pry out the caps lock key and throw it away. I started doin this three years ago and my life has been significantly happier ever since.
What people seem confused about is what should be done in the meantime.
The point of deferring optimization is to select data structures and algorithms which are clear, relevent to the application, scalable, and have reasonable performance potentional.
Whether you call it XP, Agile Progrramming, or waterfall design, you want to get some idea of performance fairly early. If things look good, and scaling tests are promising, you can defer changes till some time in the future.
While you do need to consider the hardware that will be available by the time your software gains any significant audience, the MS greed for hardware is a significant factor in first world / third world competition. Traditional North American and European corporations, especially the large one, assume you need to upgrade to the newest terabyte, gigahertz, super-duper system to run up-to-date software. In the meantime, smaller companies, and organizations in India or even Mali can compete just fine with obsolete hardware at a fraction of the speed, running Linux, BeOs or other non-greedy operating systems.
The only purpose of NetNanny and similar programs is to prevent a child frrom being startled by things they are too young to handle. By young, I mean under seven, under ten.
There's a transition period after that, till puberty, but by 13 or so, your kid is going to access porn, violence, etc., whether you like it or not. Preteen & teen boys love violence, teen boys love the perverse, and post-puberty boys spend 26 to 28 hours a day being horny.
If you have brought up your kids well, and taught them values, they will go out and look for naked breasts oncee or twice, and decide there are more interesting things to do with a computer.
But to imagine you can forcibly prevent your mature, intelligent children from viewing whatever they wish is to life in a dream. They will do what they wish, if not at home then at the library, at a friend's, at an internet cafe... If you're trying to fence off teens, it's because you abandoned them for the previous 13 years, when you should have been bringing them up and instilling values

Isn't that better?
I wanted to do the same thing, so I got a cheap Gateway machine and tried to install Solaris 10. The boot disk runs fine right up to the point where it searches for drives to store the OS on. It can't find the very standard built-in SATA controller on the Intel motherboard.
I wasn't impressed.
If you want to run freeBSD on an iMac, you don't have to do anything.
But security agencies will require the company to archive all messages for five years ... or is it ten?

The US lets you deduct the interest portion of your mortgage payments.
In Canada, your principal residence has no captial gains. With a married couple, you can make that apply to home AND cottage.
The US system is more inviting in the short term, more immediate consequences; the Canadian benefit comes much later, or to the heirs.

This article discusses how to install Red Hat Linux 6.2 on Microsoft Virtual PC 5 for Macintosh.

I have some really horrible news for you ... doubling performance every 18 months IS exponential.
Performance = 2^N
where N is the number of 18 month periods that have passed
Optimization should be defered!
