Constitutionality will be questioned and laws like these, along with the careers of the idiots who propose them, will go the way of the dodo.
If we're lucky, the laws will go that way. I sincerely doubt that the careers of the idiots will, though.
What we need in the US is a law that punishes those who pass blatantly unconstitutional laws. Of course, since Congress routinely exempts themselves from legislation, they'd exempt themselves from this, too!
So the OS is Linux, and the whole could be referred to as the "GNU/Linux Environment", as Kernighan and Pike once referred to the "Unix Programming Environment"...
Well, hell! Then all we need to do is make a law stating that it's illegal to fly a plane into a building. Since the terrorists will obey US laws re: encryption, they'll obviously obey that law too!
The Linksys BEFSR41 is a good box. I recommended it for a neighbor that just got RoadRunner.
What was really strange, though, was that I got his second machine a Linksys 10/100 card (can't remember model #). Whenever he went to pogo to play games, it locked up tighter than a drum (Win98SE). No clue why. Replacing the card with a no-name 10/100 worked just fine.
Let's face it. The bad guys killed the pilots before the crashes. No pilot would fly into the WTC, even with a gun to his head, he knows he would die anyways in the crash.
Steve Shipway's old Wanderer game involved some serious problem solving. There is some minor violence, as you need to drop a rock or an arrow ontop of some monsters to keep them from eating you.
But most of the game is using logic to figure out how to go through the maze.
If Anandtech had said "XYZ Corporation of Walla-Walla Washington", what do you bet that within three days, there would have been a letter to XYZ Corp informing them that their licenses were being audited?
I suspect that the RH support charges would be dwarfed by the MS license fees. Remember, in the first iteration of the upgrade treadmill, the licensing fees jumped from $40K/yr to $300K/yr (700% increase).
I have a feeling that the RH support charges are less than $300K per annum.
The metre was originally 1/10,000,000 the distance from the north pole to the equator on the meridian running through Paris.
It has since been defined as some multiple of the wavelength of the emitted light of some atom (which I forget right now).
Why can't they use E=mc^2, and define mass in term of the energy gained by an electron as it passes through a particular electric potential (electron volts anyone?)?

I already suggest this. I am suing you for patent infringement...

Not very well, because Osama has turned off his phone.
I agree. But the goverment is under pressure (either real or imagined) to "Do SOMETHING! Do ANYTHING!" to make the people feel "safer".
Since they already had these proposals flying around, some since the days of Bush Sr., it was easier to dust them off than to do any actual thought.
The footage of Palestinians dancing in the street is not faked. See the Snopes commentary.
No, divers breathe special mixes to AVOID the Bends.
The bends occurs when "dissolved" (can't remember the correct term) nitrogen in the bloodstream reverts to gaseous form upon pressurization.
That (and nitrogen narcosis) is why it's smart to use oxygen-helium going below about 200ft.

It seems to me that Bush and Co. are working on the Lt. Calley theory:
"We had to destroy the Constitution in order to save it". -- G.W. Bush, 2001
So the FAA is banning non-ticketed persons past security checkpoints.
Uh... THE TERRORISTS HAD TICKETS!!! How do we know that? Because the FBI identified them from passenger manifests!

Carbomb was apparently a false report.
Well, we know that the bad guys read Tom Clancy (Debt of Honor).

That's the *ONLY* joke that ever made my seriously humor-impaired sister laugh her head off...
Q: How many Hardware Engineers does it take to change a lightbulb?
A: None, we'll just work around it in Software!

No, that's only if we find the source of humor and realize it's of Extraterrestrial Origin, and therefore an experiment.
Maybe they didn't put the name up becase they were afraid of a license audit???
OOhhhh! good point.

IIRC, one slug weighs 32 pounds at sea level.
Of course, if it was in Santa Cruz, it would have to be a banana slug!
Great. So we have a known frequency v, which is the frequency of that pariticular radiation.
Why don't we then use E=mc^2 and E=hv to derive
m = hv/c^2
determine the standard kilogram in those terms?
Sorry dude.

She now surfs with images turned off. MSIE is an evil thing that will not let the user do that.
