  1. Re:The world is changing on Who Opposes Open Source Software In Government? · · Score: 1

    No, we are not the "United States", that is unless you live in DC, guam, the virgin islands, or a government owned territory. we ARE however the united states of america, i quote from Barbara Kennelly in congress "I have checked with the legislative counsel and the congressional research service about the definition (of USC 26 code 3121 (e) and Section 3(a) of H.R. 97) .
    According to these legal experts the definitions are not the same The term state in 26 USC 3121 (e) specifically includes only the named U.S. territories and possessions of the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam and American Samoa."

    HINT:::USC 26 is where you will find much of the tax code. (www.law.cornell.edu)

    The United States is a democracy, the united states of america is a republic (and to the republic for which it stands) and actually, its technically a limited republic, read the federalist papers. Its just a book by the founding fathers as to all the things they mean in the constitution, think of the const. as cliff notes for the federalist papers.

    Yea, and as the letter I got from Barbra Kennelly says, there IS a difference between United States, and United States of America, US is ONLY DC guam, v. islands, the USA is the 50 states, keep that in mind when you look up any tax codes. :)

  4. Shouldnt be a problem on Cable Modem Tax Proposed by FCC · · Score: 2, Informative

    I know if you contact your cell phone provider monthly and tell them you arent paying the FCC excise tax, they will take it off your bill, I dont see why it wouldnt work here. Its a tax on the provider, you dont HAVE to let them shift that burden on you, and since most of the plebs out there dont know to do this, they wont up their prices to compensate.

  5. YAY! this wireless is good news for many reasons.. on Putting the TV Broadcast Spectrum to Better Use? · · Score: 1

    If they put TV over wireless and an internet connection, then I can stop them from passing on the FCC tax like i did with my cell phone.
    gota tell them every month, but even for a dollar its worth it to screw the feds.

  7. Re:my solution... on IRS Tax e-Filing Experiences? · · Score: 1

    Im tellin ya, if you ever get any letters from the irs, hit up taxliberator.net, its my fathers site, he is a paralegal, and recently worked with a US air pilot who got a nasty letter about owing a nice chunk of money, he sent in only 1 letter and got one back saying "You are correct, you do not owe anything" He has also managed to get a bank account, home owners/auto insurance and a job with no SSN, he hasnt used it in 11 years. He also got 100% of his inheritance when his mother passed away, using NO SSN (aka untraceable) And he does this 100% legally.But rather than flame the whole legal stance, ask questions, he uses the real deal law books and court cases for his research and has never lost when dealing with the IRS. (the ONLY reason he isnt a lawyer now is because you DO have to use an SSN for that, you are licensed by the state) So dont take anyones word for it, he will point it out in black and white. (alot of www.law.cornell.edu)

    RH 9 is real, i got an email from RH about it directly (because my company has a corporate subscription) and you dont have to go TO RH for updates, there are many mirrors, check out nrh-up2date on sourceforge and and autorpm and there are others too.you can have your up2date client look to RH for when updates are ready, but edit your stuff to connect to the other sites to get the files (no logon, no hassles)

  11. sure if the US code applys to you on Texas Rep Wants To Jail File Traders · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    What most people dont realize is you have to be a US citizen for this to apply. And while im sure many of you think you are US citizens, if you were not born in DC, guam, virgin islands or one of the federal terretories then you are a national, not a citizen.
    The way the law reads is tricky, but if you read it well enough there is a distinct difference between US citizen, US residen and a national of your state you were born in. Just because you live in the boundries of the "the many states" it doesnt mean you are under federal juristicion. I am working on a list of evidence of what i have put here, and it will be up in the next few weeks at http://taxliberator.net , my fathers site, who is a paralegal (who managed to get a bank account, car/home insurance, and really everything he needs w/out a SSN, he also from reading the law, when the IRS sent him a note that he owed them money, sent a nice letter back questioning their jurisdiction over him, they sent him a letter back saying yep, you are correct, no need to send any money)

    GREAT! Since I am a national (born in a soverign state), not a citizen or a non-citizen (according to law) i have no worries if this were to happen or not! Just like misuse of the SSN, bank account with no ssn (interest bearing even), auto insurance with no ssn, wow, that means im REALLY free!

    Even if that was the case, there are lot of people that arent really citizens who think they are.
    I for one, am a national, i was born in one of the states, and not in a federal territory, alot of the

  14. Re:Centralising security on Passport for Linux On the Way · · Score: 1

    Single Sign-on is helpful to users in a localized environtment, not the world wide network that is the internet. I think this whole single signon
    for the internet is just a compromise waiting to happen, When i sign up to forums and such i dont even always use the same logon name. Any centralized ID system is bad, its compromised once, and every other facet is also compromised.
    I work in an environment that users SSO with their thumbprint, and what happens? they dont bother to log off, or do it incorrectly, so anyone else that walks up has access to everything on that PC.

    its not a bad station, its the best we have in Indiana, but back in the day, when i was a truck driver i heard alot better. tho i do LOVE their morning show. I have the codeweaver plugin, but havent tried it yet. Going to try the freshmeat ASFrecorder too, and possibly run it over an mp3 server. I was just ticket that they dont even have a concern to try to make it work for *nix,
    when i really doubt they would have that much trouble making it work, id bet they could use realplayer or something, im not a fan of real, but atleast they make a linux client.
