Remember that party affiliation has always been published. If what you say is true, then we should be seeing Republicans striking back at Democrats, and vice versa.
Perhaps the problem isn't in your coworkers learning of your support for legal marijuana, but in your hesitancy in letting your views be known?
It's hard to see how political debate couldn't benefit if everyone were to stand up for what they believe.
Not until we can devise a foolproof way of ensuring against voter fraud that the layperson can understand.
Schneier makes an attempt at this but it's pretty convoluted, I'm not even sure I understand it all and I at least know a little about this kind of stuff.
We may have to consider publishing who a person votes for. I know it goes against the grain of a longstanding tradition, but to make the protocol simple enough for the average person to understand while keeping it free of fraud may require nothing less.
I mean, the Pentium IV, *that's* the CPU, and VIA doesn't make those, right?
All those other processors on the mobo is what VIA does, but they aren't CPU's.
So big whoop. Somebody is going to come along and do to these processors what nVidia did with the nForce 2. Not being pin-compatible doesn't mean much when we're only talking about only one set of pins *and* you are making the mobo too.

OK.
This order applies only to the NAVAL SPECIAL WARFARE DEVELOPMENT GROUP, and it was signed the day after the French periodical Paris Match published radar tapes showing something sharing the sky with TWA-800.
It's too bad the shitheads here at/. can't accept anything that doesn't come dripping out of CmdrTaco's hemarrhoid-infested anus, because if they bothered to actually look into why TWA-800 was felled they'd be amazed to discover that it fits right in with all the other uber-geek material posted here.

LCD Price Fixing?

I might be willing to hand over the big bucks for one of the bigger flat-panel displays, but to do so I would have to accept a number of dead pixels in the bargain. For instance, there's the Samsung 240T which goes for about $3,000, regardless of whether the thing has dead pixels or not.
Why aren't the 240T's with, say, eight dead pixels sold at a different price? I understand the issues with the manufacturing of these displays, that if they were to reject all but those without dead pixels the cost would be prohibitively expensive, but why can't they just count the number of dead pixels and set a price accordingly.
Monitors are important; I end up looking at the thing most of the day for work and for play, I am willing to pay a premium for a very fine display. But to risk getting one with a bunch of dead pixels right in the middle of the screen, I mean, that would just suck really, really bad.
What's truly dismaying about this is that Safari is based on open source code. So not only are they not going to release all of the improvements to the source code they make, they're not even going to release all of the binaries they make.
Apple sees open source as free code. They're wrong, it's a lot more than that. They now lose all of the testing and feedback and bug fixes that would have been streaming their way if they played by the rules.
Their loss.
Camino is a better browser anyways.:)

And have you heard about DVD's? Apparently they're like CD's, only they hold more data.
Um, it's space. Deploy the camera with care that there is no rotational component and it will be rotation-free, at least for as long as is necessary to rotate on the z-axis. Ditto for translational motion.
And this:
It's going to have to survive 3+ g's force and the vibration of takeoff. It's going to have to survive micrometeor impacts. Our mom's 8mm just ain't going to cut it here, folks!
Haven't you noticed they have cameras in space? Where do you think all the pretty pictures come from?
We use the already-existing cameras, that have been proven up to the task. Of course we do that.
2. It ain't possible. It takes a LOT of energy to do an orbital plane-change maneuver.
Which is why I said that you have to design the mission with this in mind. It may mean you'll lose certain kinds of orbits, and you may even need to better position the space station to better provide emergency sanctuary, but it is certainly doable.
Besides, there's an argument for restricting the shuttle to ferry-duty between here and the ISS anyways. Let the dumb rockets put satellites into orbit. Hell, for geosync orbits we need rockets anyways.
Geez, you wouldn't even need thrusters with the right design. Just have the arm or an astronaut place it adrift from the shuttle, then have the shuttle spin a half-revolution on its longitudinal axis.
The whole time the satellite is busy taking pictures and recording pictures.
Then do another half-revolution and retrieve the satellite.
Man, all we're really talking about here is a camera!
1) Equip each shuttle with a little mini-satellite with a web cam they can use to take pictures of the underside. This shouldn't be complicated at all.
2) Build all missions so that inspection of the shuttle can take place early enough into the mission to allow for a detour to the space station if a problem presents itself.

He's invented IP!
As in TCP/IP!
What an amazing individual!
And look, he did it decades after the fact!
Those bastards!
That this just *must* have been a story left over from the April 1st bin!
Clearly, the strategy of this administration is to pile it up so high that no one can even see the hypocrisy anymore let alone complain about it!
Let me get a press release together, hang on...

Here for instance is the Executive Order signed by President Clinton that proves they were working to coverup the shootdown of TWA-800.

It has to be. Why else spend the time on such a "silly" debate?
I'm just surprised it took this long.
Great soundtrack, appropriately depressing, and so they don't air it nor let you rent it anymore.
Hemp produces more usable biomass per acre than anything else out there.
And nobody is asking you to drink the stuff. Besides, ethanol is toxic too... close to 50,000 people die from its ingestion every year.
How many people die from methanol ingestion?
Let us grow hemp and use it to make methanol. Then methanol will be cheaper.
Ummm.... they did.

Thanks, but I'll pass on this one.
