A voting machine should produce 4 ballots, one you put in the slot, one you keep, and two you can send to "independant" counting agencies. The ballot itself will have a serial number assigned so the independant agencies can report their tallies to each other and come up with a separate vote count.
I am a republican, and I do not approve of the remote destruction of other's property, regardless of the triggering event and regardless of the party doing the destruction (government or business)
Good Grief - see my history, you know I am against copying copyrighted material... Wrote a letter to Sen. Hatch here:
To Orrin Hatch via his website: 1 - I agree that the copying of copyrighted material is wrong, it is theft. I do not condone it or engage in it
2- However the destruction of another's property is also wrong.
3- When a "Copyright Holder" is given the right to destroy another's property, How can we know that a "Copyright Holder" won't destroy by mistake? What quality of evidence will be required?
4- It's not technically easy to destroy a computer via just an internet connection. If it is the right of the "CH" to destroy a machine will machine manufactureers be required to design machines that can be destroyed? If so could a "technical terrorist" destroy machine they had no right to destroy ( I hate the current use of the word Hacker, it used to have a much nobler meaning)
Please forgive spelling errors. Thanks for your time. -end-
Palladium **is** all about protecting copyrighted date from those who might copy it (all "fair use" questions aside)
But If you can run **any** program, you could write a program to read their "Secure/encrypted/rot13ed/whaterved" data file and output a plain "filetype of my choice" file. Likewise if you could write an OS (even a simple one that only read bytes from the hard disk and shoveled them out the serial port) you could bypass the security.
Paladium wants to prevent you from running programs that are not cleared because those programs could violate the "security" of the data.
I belive you are incorrect... BSD/Linux and other programs will not be loaded if they are not properly cleared.
It is by will alone I set my mind in motion it is by the help of caffine my thoughts aquire speed my hands aquire shakes the shakes become a warning It is by will alone I set my mind in motion
Here's one for someone to jump on! OK I just looked and there is NO web page "www.badad.com". Someone setup a webpage there where we can consolodate our listings of ads we don't like.
Perhaps space can be provided for a contact phone number, then let's *all* surf badad and make phone calls.
Suggest the following catagories of ad evilness:
1) excesive banner animation 2) pop under 3) pop over 4) These newer "pirate my web browser" ads.
Also have a place for users to add themselves to an online petition keeping track of "signatures" so when the rest of us call we can say "Dear advertiser, myself and 10,000 other people would like you to know you ad is EVIL and we and our friends will not shop with you because of it"
To make this work the rest of us have to surf badad and make calls. (esp on 800 numbers!)
Perhaps it's just cuz I like Enterprise... What part is not compatible with TOS, or TNG or the rest. The only thing I've seen said is that there is no NX01 model on the wall of picard's ready room.
I can overlook that... perhaps it got knocked of the wall or somthing. who knows.
I could see the "Temporal Cold War" being kept a big secret by "prestarfleet" and is just never spoken of in the future.
This is very different from "walking into the campus bookstore and in a clandestine manner walking out with a textbook without paying for it."... A closer analogy would be walking into a campus bookstore (better yet, a friend's house), and reading a textbook without paying for it.
No, more like walking into your friend's house and photocopying the textbook.
In any case, unless you go buy your own copy, you have somthing you did not pay for.
Use mine all the time, my friends call it "Your spare brain", keep phone list, and notes, lotsa games for waiting times. Alarms for meetings. Family birthdays and regular holidays in the calendar. The job has different days/hours each week, so I keep that in the calendar too. notes include: Medical information, cuz I'm diabetic for the EMTs to read if needed. Music I wanna buy. Places I want to visit on the WWW. and other stuff. It's a *bad* day when I forget it. Never had trouble with the batteries.
If you go to the garage you can't have any expectation that the work will be free, you know garages charge. And most likely there is a list of those charges on the wall for you to see.
Microsoft wants everyone to have machines with Paladium in them.
Machines with Paladium will not at the same time let me "run my own recompiled Linux" and "Be on the Web". The Web is Important, so to continue I may have to use an OS I have no control over.
If I have no control over my OS, I have no control over my machine. Who does?
On DRM - I once heard that a people who will not rule themselves will need a tyrant to rule them.
If we can't stop *stealing* music and other digital media, then that tyrant becomes DRM.
Watch the TV, Note the ads and then SEND LETTERS TO THE COMPANIES ADVERTISED. Tell them in polite terms that you noticed their add interupting your favorite show and so you will not be buying their product and you will be asking your friends and family not to buy either.
This has to be done just as this is starting because once everyone is advertising this way no one will pay attention to your letter.
I think a big diference here is that Java is a virtual machine, not your whole computer. You can still load other non compliant software in your machine, even while Java is locked down to it's sandbox.
Bill wants to turn your entire machine into HIS sandbox.
When they came for the spammer - I did not speak up, who likes spam anyway When they came for the "virus writers" - I did not speak up When they came for the software pirates - I did not speak up one day I did criticize the "them" and they came for me... - no one was left to speak up.
I am not for spam, viruses or piracy, But I am also not for the survelence state the world is becomming.

sure, I could become a libratarian and have no voice at all. Some of us still hope to change the party from within.
And so then the government could give or withhold a "computer license" from whoever it chooses?
"sorry comrade no licence for you, you might send subversive email or put up a subversive web page"

I heard a saying once... "Those who will not govern themselves will need a tyrant to govern them"
Example: The recording industry's backlash against Napster where the tyrant is DCMA and Copy Protected CDs.
I really like the theme music
listen to the words, remember the back story- the Vulcans have been holding earth back, even confounding earths warp drive program (Vulcans lying?)
The Vulcans continue to want to confine earth.

How about a cluster of these clusters?
Really, Can groups of computers in clusters be clustered together to create "superclusters", and would such a thing solve problems even faster?

Sorry to hear it.
Let's simplify -

Machines with Paladium will not at the same time let me "run my own recompiled Linux" and "Be on the Web". The Web is Important, so to continue I may have to use an OS I have no control over.
