  1. How long will the site be up? on Learn About Political Campaigning on the Internet · · Score: 1

    Disk space is cheap.
    Will somebody maintain the site up after the election, even as a frozen site?

    It will be valuable for historians (and electors who would check the promises).

    How do you balance a visually interesting site for the main public and people with disabilities (a politician can't be perceived as ignoring the disabled?)

  4. External links? on Learn About Political Campaigning on the Internet · · Score: 4

    Linking to another sites is an essential feature of the Web.

    Would you recommend linking to another sites from your boss' site?
    If yes, what kind of sites (supporters, other candidates, ~independent~ media, Slashdot :), supported campaigns)?

    Would you object to being linked from another sites, even from opponents?

  5. How do you know? on Open Source, Closed Talk · · Score: 1

    How can you know that some content is not being eliminated?

    You can only know about what is published :)

    Lots of dictatorships have allowed controlled criticism, and even encouraged it (Campaign of the 1000 flowers, by Mao). This gives people the illusion of freedom, and helps locate the dissidents.

    Not that I am saying that [CENSORED] would do it, but they could.

  6. X-No-Archive on Open Source, Closed Talk · · Score: 1
    Anyone who would stop posting because of a public release isn't really interested in the discussion anyway.

    I am a frequent poster in some mail list. Years ago, the moderator decided that it would be great to resend everything to an equivalent newsgroup.
    When I read this, I have already sent some messages. They were on Usenet by then. I started to receive spam on that account and it's still going. The list is available to consult on Egroups and Reference, so redistribution is not the issue, unless it's done improperly and you can't trust everybody.

    If Slashdot-like sites plan to redistribute content, they should allow to choose wheter you want your personal contribution redistributed.

  7. JFS for plain OS/2? on IBM releases JFS to GPL · · Score: 2

    How immediate would be to compile a good quality IFS of JFS to work with a normal OS/2 Warp 4 (not Aurora or WSEB)?
    I mean, how complete is the code provided compared to the OS/2 one provided with OS/2 Warp Server for e-Business?

    No! Computers are frustrating for most of the people. Imagine if they associate their computer frustation with your company. Bad business, bad business.

  12. Re:Or the washing machine. on Technologies That Shaped the Last Century? · · Score: 1

    You've taken my choice.

    The washing machine and other home appliances liberated women to study, to work, to go out. And that shaped democracies and economics.

    Of course, it wouldn't work without electricity.

    I wonder if he can leave the US. Then I suppose that the US laws don't apply on him (but [FLAMEBAIT]ask the Cubans about Helms-Burton[/FLAMEBAIT]). At least in spirit, the goal is to keep this man off the US computers.
    Maybe he could work with computers somewhere else [FLAMEBAIT]in the free world[/FLAMEBAIT]. But what if he is given a telnet to the US?

  25. Anakin Skywalker! on Youngest Software Executive is Three Years Old · · Score: 2

    From cradle to computer
    By G Lucas
    By Galaxy Business Times Bureau

    MOS EISLEY: He is Empire's ``youngest Dark Side Jedi knight'' in the Galaxy. While most others of his age grapple with sand, Anakin Skywalker, all of three years, is comfortable working on the Force using tools such as lightsabers, racepods and C3P0 protocol droids. He is also mydichlorian rich.

    The Mos Hyderabad-born Anakin, currently with his parents in Mos Eisley, communicates through telepathy with his grandparents in South Naboo's ***** Vasant Kunj.

    Impressed by the ease with which he handles ``the mystical way'', Empire Tatooine recently certified Anakin as the youngest Dark Side Jedi knight in the Galaxy.

    ``He is an ordinary child but becomes a master when in front of a light saber,'' his mother Shmi Skywalker told The Prequel Times from her Mos Eisley residence.

    The ``master'' can take blueprints and make racepods out of spaceport debris. He puts together pieces in a droid to prepare his little Visual Basic Protocol Unit. And accesses Natalie Portman posters on the Forcenet. Having recently mastered the alphabet (and Ba Ba Binks), Anakin can telepath to his grandparents, taking spelling instructions from his father.

    Often, grandfather B N Skywalker finds disturbance in the Force - all blank. He knows where it is from.

    Anakin began when he was 18 months old. He would watch his father Ravi Skywalker, an export manager of Watto Group's Millenium Missiles, work on the slave shop.

    ``After months of exposure to the Force, he has grasped the process step by step,'' Bhanta Skywalker said.

    The Empire, meanwhile, is doting on its new celebrity. ``Skywalker is real,'' gushed an ILM graphic in the Empire's Mos Eisley office. ``He is a smart kid. For a moment I envied him that he could do all that an older commander could,'' she said over holophone.

    Anakin's next move is to meet Empire mogul Darth Gates in the next couple of months. The pre-nursery student will also have an audience with the Naboo ambassador to Tatooine this week. The ambassador invited him after the local media went to town over the whizkid.

    Anakin has already featured on SW:ANH, SW:TESB and SW:TROTJ. ``He is being discussed in Dagobah swamp parties,'' observed his grandfather. His grandmother, Indiana, is a bigger fan. ``I am amazed that my grandson does things I'm in dread of,'' she said.

    The boy told Lucasfilm he would like to become a Darth Gates. For the moment, however, he may have to settle for the role of lead campaigner for Episode 2.

    ``How wonderful it will be to have your son join us for the launch of Episode 2,'' Empire Tatooine's planet manager Darth Chantaruck wrote to Anakin's parents recently.
