Maybe not officially Mormons anymore, but, a bit more history is here:
This polygamist community, which is part of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, has lived in British Columbia for well over fifty years. Its history can be traced back to the Mormon community in Utah. When the official Mormon Church banned polygamy in 1890, authorities stepped in and began to round up and jail those who openly defied the edict. A splinter group wanting to practice polygamy fled into the desert and established a settlement that came to be called Colorado City on the Utah/Arizona border. Another group traveled up to Canada and set up a polygamist community near the present day town of Cardston, Alberta. In Canada, Ottawa declared polygamy a criminal offence and in time their lifestyle began to disappear.
What happens when the only bank with branches in town isn't your bank? Then how do you deposit your cash, check, or money order in your bank account?
A related situation: I needed to deposit some money into my friend's companies account which is in a bank branch in a different city. I had done this before with no problems. However last time I tried, they couldn't do it because you need to swipe your bank card at the human teller wicket - and I am not a customer of that bank. They had no clue how to handle me since their first request is for me to swipe my card and enter my pin. They ended up having to courier my cheque to the bank in the other city!!!
I've often wondered what most people think is actually 'facism'. It is a word really without much meaning anymore because it means so many different things to different people.
If our country was instantly converted to facism, what specifically would change? How many people would notice? How would people's daily lives change? What really is the difference between Facisms (the Facist Party) and National Socialism (the Nazi party)? These are not easy questions for most people to answer. This is why I think that that word 'facism' should just be dropped from our vocabulary...
Can a company pay you to put their competitor's site on your list? Or can the list be compromised by a company sending out spams to you purportedly being from their competitor?
I haven't tried this, but I heard that it is possible to create an un-signed certificate set to use 'plaintext' encryption which most web browsers will not complain about. No encryption is done and no signature is possible or required.
Does anyone know if that is correct? If so, then this is possibility.
That would be a good thing to do - set a precedent. When you find out your neighbour is growing round-up-resistant grain and you see it cross-pollinating onto your property, sue your neighbour for planting seeds that are endangering you by exposing you to lawsuits by Monsanto.

I understand what you are saying, but Rendezvous - aka ZeroConf allows me to do the following:

My original point is that urls with local intranet domains in this form would break mail scanners that checked for valid urls in emails. Hell, even when I email a friend something like: "Your router admin page is accessible via http://192.168.32.1/ " would end up getting filtered as spam!

With Rendezvous on macinosh, it normally comes up with names such as 'jeffs-computer.local.' with the extra dot, and it works. What is the specific standard for HTTP URL's and the extra dot?
FM and AM radio transmissions have worse quality than 128 kbit mp3 anyways.
Just recently I finally heard the difference between a 128 kbit mp3 and the uncompressed version in a blind test. It required good speakers and amplifier. Some instruments in certain frequency bands were definitely quieter and some instruments had their stereo imaging slightly wrong. Some transaural 3-d effects were diminished. It surprised me to hear the difference because I know that my ears have been damaged by playing in loud bands.

The invalid link may be a link to an internal website. For instance http://wiki.local./ is valid in the office but invalid outside the firewall.
10 years ago 1 ghz was a FANTASY. Just like 100 mhz was a fantasy in 1987. It was of course inconceivable that anyone would be EVER needing such power, and now you are saying this is minimum requirements.
Anyways, people are buying off the shelf computers with XP and >2ghz. Do they need them? They are not just running office, they are running Doom and Half Life 2 and Halo 2, etc. etc.
My parents and the bulk of the people out there do not need a 64bit 5ghz monster under their desk. And honestly most of thosethat have them probably only use the power 5-10% of the time, if that.
You know, 10 years ago I was saying the same thing about the bulk of the people not needing a 32bit 1 gHz monster under their desk. Now this is the minimum that they need.
Don't underestimate Microsoft's ability to make software that brings yesterday's supercomputers to their knees today.

Stick a standard RFID underneath each key cap. Have shielding underneath the key cap so the rfid is unscannable when the key is pressed!

So I guess it would be legal an no problem to buy a bunch of GPS tracker units and stick them on police cars?
That would be neat - you could make a live map of where all the police cars in the city are and easily avoid them after you rob the bank.
And it would be LEGAL!
