export of US technology maybe we should instead license that technology to other nations in exchange of 10% of the profits from that licensed technology?
Intellectual Property Rights stand in the way of competition and free enterprise. I am sure that many Slashdot readers agree with me that Microsoft is using IP rights to create a Monopoly and sue anyone who dares try to invent the same technology, or else buy them out, or else make things like important API calls as undocumented. Microsoft tried to use SCO to use XENIX/SCO Unix IP to sue IBM and other Linux contributors. Microsoft did not like that Linux became the next big thing and started to become more popular, so Microsoft and SCO did what they could via IP rights to stop Linux.
If other nations love and need US technology so bad, they ought to be willing to pay to license it in exchange for at least 10% of the profits from that technology and that way they can legally export US technology and still keep 90% of the profits to grow their economy.
Mussolinis's Italy is like an Internet where the Internet Trolls hide the comments of people they don't like instead of just for the content of the post.
On Slashdot it is like Mussolini where people abuse their mod powers to mod down a comment they don't like or don't agree with, instead of for the content.
I get modded down by people who don't like me because I am mentally ill so they do personal attacks on me and Slashdot management doesn't do anything about it even if it violates the Slashdot TOS.
All I am saying is enforce the TOS of the ISPs and Web sites so people like me aren't harassed and called a schizo f*ggit and tell me to do a shotgun mouthwash and kill myself. It is called responsibility, you ought to try it some time. Only Internet Mussolinis I see are users like you who don't take responsibility for their actions and behaviors.
Why should a tinpot dictator like you tell me that you don't want to be responsible and want to be evil and immoral and go criminal and tell me to go f*ck myself? It is you who are one of many tinpot dictators who try to control the Internet, and you need to start becoming responsible for your own actions and behaviors.
The UN or some other governoring body that we elect to enforce the TOS terms of service of web sites and ISPs will be the democratically elected group that polices the Internet and keeps the tinpot dictators in check.
China is like an Internet where the Internet Trolls hide the comments of people they don't like instead of just for the content of the post.

Raster graphics are a collection of pixels. Which is why your screen is measured in pixels as 640x480 or 1024x768 pixels. Do you know how a TV set or monitor works? Little dots called pixels, picture elements.
This is Comp Sci 101, not that hard to understand.
Freedom isn't free, freedom needs to be tempered with responsibility or else the hammer drops down on those who abuse their freedoms to harm others.

Nah if they appealed Bill Clinton's impeachment they'll appeal Barack Obama's impeachment as well for the same reasons.
Look at all of the stuff George W. Bush is accused of doing, and they still can't impeach him. That is because they don't have enough evidence to start an impeachment trial, but what they do have is accusations, rumors, gossip, and opinions, but no "hard evidence" beyond a reasonable doubt. There wouldn't be enough "hard evidence" for Obama either even if he did make the album public because he could claim it was a practical joke or parody and didn't really mean it. Just like Bill Clinton claimed that oral sex was not sexual relations by his definition.
If Richard M. Nixon didn't resign, he'd win his impeachment appeal like Bill Clinton did. Those tapes were taken illegally without a search warrant and would have been thrown out in an impeachment trial plus the prosecutor would have been found to be biased like Ken Starr was.
Do we really want Anonymous Internet Trolls giving the next US President advice? That will lead to things like making "Chocolate Rain" as the new National Anthem and making it so that Plan9 is the official and only operating system to be used for the government and instead of being called The Commander In Chief the President will be called The National Idiot in Command.
Good grief! They might even try to change the US Flag to a Goatse or Tubgirl motif.:)
Anyway, yes we do need a standard for file exchange on the Internet like XML but it needs to be encrypted so that hackers and crackers don't steal the data and use it for identity theft. So maybe use GPG to encrypt the files with at least a 4096 byte key.
A lot of federal computer systems are still modem and command line based, they need to be upgraded to Web 2.0 standards and use broadband speeds. Some of the Medicare/Medicade systems use Modem dial-ups to process bill payments and medical records, which is why it costs so much and is so slow and has so much red tape and doesn't cover a lot of expenses. By modernizing it, it will help reduce costs and make it more affordable.
Get rid of that darned Donut Hole, poor people are going without their medication for the last four to three months of the year because they fell into a donut hole and lost coverage until they spend $3500 of their own money, and have to pay $200 to $300 to $500 per prescription per month, those of us on ten or more prescriptions are really really hurting esp when we are on disability and are too sick to work.
#1 Every Email program requires the user to log in with a user ID and password before sending email. SMTP is too insecure and needs to be rewritten.
#2 The ISP will create an OpenID or some other universal account for the user, with the option of using up to 25 nicknames or handles instead of the real name for privacy concerns. Each OpenID will be assigned a number to keep track of the use.
#3 IPV6 will be used instead of IPV4, but there will be a portal for IPV4 users to use IPV6 IPs as a proxy via their ISP to get on the Internet 2.0 if they need to get on it.
#4 All domain names will still be owned but the web server and email hosting will only be on the Internet 2.0 if they meet with security guidelines to verify who is sending email via user ID and password. This will be to fight spam.
#5 Internet Use will be changed so that terrorist web sites, and web sites about building bombs or suicide or illegal activities will not be on the Internet 2.0 but instead be on another network called Dangernet that has to pay more money to access and has no privacy each user has to be identified for security reasons.
#6 CMS and Forum and Blog software has to have moderators or a karma system or some way to deal with trolls and flamewars. There needs to be a universal code of conduct for the Internet 2.0 but Dangernet will not have such rules.
#7 Internet 2.0 will discourage the use of pop-up ads and will fine companies for having malware infected advertising that infects user's systems. They will be fined $100 for each malware infection with the funds going to pay for repair of the Internet.
#8 Proxies will require a user ID and password to use, may not always be free, but that way they can track who is using a proxy in case of abuse. Dangernet has no such rules.
#9 The Untied Nations or some other International group will create an organization that polices the Internet 2.0 to make sure that Human Rights and Civil Rights are not being violated and there is no harassment. Warnings will be given out, and each ISP will have a TOS and if the user gets too many warnings their account will be disabled until they agree to the TOS and agree to stop the harassment or hacking or spamming or malware writing.
#10 The Internet 2.0 will create new standards for file exchange using BitTorrent but for commercial software will require TrialPay or accepting Internet offers to pay for downloading commercial software or music or videos for free.
#11 Each ISP will have a virtual machine that runs either Windows, Linux, or Mac OSX that allows their users to log in via a user name and password and use a virtual machine to get on the Internet to help protect their machine from malware.
Google Pack has a free Norton Security Scan which is Norton Antivirus Lite with no autoprotect but it does scheduled scans and allows an upgrade to the full version. Also Spyware Doctor which scans for spyware, adware, and rootkits, and allows an upgrade to the full version.
What you might need is an office conference room with a TV set and game console. Then let the employees take turns playing the game. Then have a supervisor watch the clock to see how long they spend on the game and tell them when time is up. That way you only need one game console and TV and have a supervisor or manager keep track of time.
He threw down his gun instead of dropping it. ED-209 got confused. ED-209 should have been programmed to notice the gun is no longer in the suspect's hand and is on the ground.
But if someone was controlling ED-209 via a video game interface it would be a different story. Also ED-209 should have used rubber bullets instead of real bullets to take in the suspect alive instead of dead.
because an oscilloscope screen is not the same as a video screen. It is the first oscilloscope game, but not the first video game.
A video screen is like a TV set or Monitor, an oscilloscope screen is something quite different. It shows waves not pixels. Video games have pixels. Even vector video games still use pixels and not waves. It is like saying that a curved line is the same thing as a square or dot, or that a screwdriver is the same thing as a hammer. While they may have things in common, they are not quite the same thing.
Next you'll tell me that Hollywood movies and TV shows get history and other facts wrong?
A video game is written to be enjoyed, not scientifically accurate, just as a movie or TV show was written to be enjoyed and not factual.
It is like trying to criticize fiction for not being non-fiction.
Video games have their own set of rules and laws, not necessarily the same as the reality universe laws and rules.

Some people know that and rate my comments as funny or interesting, because they know I am posting in character. Right now I am posting out of character for informational purposes.
Oh yeah the Buddha works for God as well, he doesn't suffer because he became one with the universe, which is like entering Heaven where pain and suffering no longer exist and such people serve God and the Universe. That is the goal for Buddhists and it is the way to the truth.
If you can figure out my email, it is orion_blastar at the company mentioned in this article. (Yahoo.com) and we can discuss this further.
Asida Kim taught me a lot about Ninjitsu, Piracy is actually a form of Christianity as the skull and crossbones used to appear at the bottom of a crucifix to symbolize Jesus' power over death but got removed once Pirates started to use it. Ninjitsu is like Christianity as well, it has a golden rule of doing unto others as you would have them do unto you or as they do unto you do unto them back.
My mind picks up hidden messages. It also uses psionics to cloud the minds of others near me so that they ignore me and it is like I am invisible. Some mistake that for a mental illness but it is really psionic powers. I can do remote viewing as well. These things were created by God, as he interfaces to my brain and makes changes. I acted a certain way on the Internet according to God's will, but that is over now. I have new missions and Operation Blastar moves into a new phase.
Many are unaware that the universe is just God's computer, he has many of them. The other Gods and Goddesses work for the main God to spread diversity as diversity is good for learning and discovering new things. The Devil works in quality control as do many other so called "evil" Gods and Goddesses. Pain and suffering are just data, a way of learning things. Many Saints suffered but the greatest sinners are sociopaths that do not suffer or feel pain and thus do not learn.
What if I told you some aliens look like human beings but come from the Deneb sector of space and I am one of them?
Did you Earthers really think you are elite and the only ones in the Universe? We use a data encryption for our communications that looks like a natural signal to SETI plus we use subspace and you primitive Earthlings haven't even discovered other dimensions and parallel universes yet.
We are smarter than you, but we watch you and try to help you out. But my attempts to try and help people out got confused by you primitives as trolling. So I am adjusting my communications centers of my brain via psionics. Something you haven't discovered yet.
Piracy is a way of life and a religion. Microsoft are just bigots against Pirates. I am a Pirate Ninja, everyone knows that.
I contribute to society as well, heck I've fixed Windows machines like a million times due to Microsoft bugs and flaws. Microsoft owes me a lot for fixing their problems and I even used to be a beta tester for them. Can't they cut us pirates some slack?
If it wasn't for BBSes pirating Windows 3.0 and 3.1 Windows would have never taken off and we'd all be using GEM, GEOS, or OS/2 instead.
a cleaner I use is Protek but I never used it on electronics before. It is green technology and based on enzymes to clean things. It eats mold and mildew and stops it from coming back for six months. The MSDS sheet will have more information on it.
It has a warning not to use it on brass, but as long as your electronics don't use brass it should be alright. Caution as it removes paint from wallpaper.
If you cannot use it on electronics, you can use it to clean up the rest of your house. It does not smell bad or really strong.
I would suggest a paint brush or tooth brush to apply it to circuit boards. Most circuit boards have copper, gold, silver, etc so it should be safe. Better test it out on a cheap electronic device first before you test it out on something majorly expensive. Like a remote control or something that can easily be replaced. If it fixes a remote control, chances are it will fix some of the other electronics as well.

But vectors still use pixels, they are just pixels in the form of a line or shape.
Pixels are used as a standard of measurement on a video screen. Pixels are drawn via the video game software.
Everyone should know that. Even a subgenius. :)
They are usually call sprites or player missile graphics by Atari.
Why do you want to know?
Yeah but it don't work so well in MAME so some people forget that the original had plastic colored strips over the screen.
