Why do I predict this woman's plan being stifled and perhaps killed by the B.S. of what system, what hardware, and what OS to use?
I mean, I totally support Linux and all, but I don't think that it's the way to go in this situation. I would advise MacOS (as people seem to think that it's the easiest of any major OS to operate), but then I don't use it myself. And hey, Microsoft products or not, a free computer is a free computer.
Well, I suppose this is just another little file on the stack of ways that Davis has erroded the rights of Californians. Thanks to Davis, the state has many spotted and questionable human and criminal rights laws, including the Three Strikes program and a law mandating adult court cases and sentencing for individuals over the age of 12 who commit felonies.
Y'know, I just have to put this here:
"I am governor Jerry Brown
My aura smiles and never frowns
Soon I will be president
Carter power will soon go away
I will be Fuhrer one day
I will command all of you
Your kids will meditate in school
California uber alles
Uber alles California
Zen Fascists will control you
One hundred percent natural
You will jog for the master race
and always wear the happy face
Close your eyes, can't happen here
Big Bro' on white horse is near
The hippies won't come back you say
Mellow out or you will pay
Now it is 1984
Knock Knock on your front door
It's the seude denim police
They've come for your uncool niece
Come quietly to the camp
You'd look nice as a drawstring lamp
Don't worry, it's only a shower
For your clothes here's a pretty flower
Die on organic poison gas
Serpent's egg is already hatched
You will crack, you little clown
When you mess with president Brown." - Dead Kennedys, 'California Uber Alles'
I agree, it seems as if this idea has its heart in the right place, but (like most of John Engler's ideas) it is simply going to be too complicated to be worth the involved effort. Ahh, Michigan. First in impractical new ideas. I feel a twinkle of pride for my state.
Well, isn't that justice for you. Create laws and systems involving technology, wait for them to fail miserably enough to make an embarrassment of the government, and then get rid of them. Now when will that happen for the DMCA?
That is right.
The cops can arrest you for ANYTHING they want.</I>
No, actually, they can't. Or, perhaps better put, they mayn't legally. They CAN do anything, just like anyone can, but it isn't legal.
The police must have a legitimate reason (outstanding warrant, saw you commit a crime) to arrest you. In certain states there are laws requiring ID, and if you don't have it they can detain you in order to figure out just who you are, but as it is not a crime(yet), you cannot be arrested for not carrying ID in any state as far as I know.
One of the greatest fears held by Civil Libertarians about national ID is that it will give the police broader rights, including the right in ALL states to force you to show them your national ID. In many states, such as here in MI as well as in IN (I'm sure there are others, but these are two I know), the police cannot force you to show or carry ID. The most you are required to do is give them your name, and if they do not suspect you of a crime or having witnessed a crime (etc.), they can't detain you just to find out whether or not you're lying, either.
What the...first off, you don't 'drive' Mir. It's a space station. Secondly, I would imagine that the pressures of a job like that would lead me to drink. They are not promoting drinking and driving with their comments, it was only a joke. Why are YOU ashamed if you don't work for the site, btw?

Has Microsoft made a bid for the technology yet?

Too bad 'President Davis' doesn't rhyme with it.

The ones they love! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! That's a good one. If we're the ones they love, I'd hate to see how they treat the ones they hate.
I really think that the only transferable information would be in 1's and 0's, but then again, maybe I'm just an idiot.

I imagine you meant MILDLY compelling...and this same basic thing was posted a few days ago...
