    Those laws where created by popular elected officials. Got a problem with the law, change the law. It is nothing but hypocrasy (sp?) to say yes it is illegal, but I don't care anyway.

    In other words, we all aggreed to pay taxes, so why not simply pay them? We complain when others want to enforce the law?

    I was talking to a dude in the Defence world in the early 90's and was talking about a compression algorythm that used fractels. This is 10+ years ago, is this the same thing? It was used for T.V. bombs I think.

  16. Put up with bad habits on France to Allow Cell Phone Jamming · · Score: 1

    I agree with people who don't want cell phones in theaters, but something does bother me. I was always tought that when you go out in public you are required to put up with other peoples bad habits.

    Things like, smoking, bad driving, bad breath, obscene language, talking in a movie theater, a couple making out, chewing their finger nails, picking thier nose, caughing, sneezing, and even farting in an elevator.

    I have done them all. And I am sorry. Please forgive me, but maybe we SHOULD put up with other peoples phones, so they should put up with a good picking of a nose.

  22. In 1976 I was additicted. on Experiment Cuts Off Online Junkies from Internet · · Score: 1

    I remeber leaving middle school in the 76' time range and runing as fast as possible to the nearest Plato terminals. I needed to play Empire, I needed to read my eMail, I needed to chat, etc...

    It got so bad that my father would have to hunt me and my friends down. We got to looking for more obscure terminal locations on campus (I.U. by the way).

    The ultimate result occured when the usage was so high (a lot of kids like myself where doing this) at the library, that you where handed password that would give you a 30 minute time slot. When it expired you had to get back in line to get another one.

    Crazy stuff.

  24. Re:Secret Laws, Secret Courts, What happened to US on Government Asks Court to Keep ID Arguments Secret · · Score: 1

    But you could still have what you want and I want. You could allocate the alectorial votes based on the populations vote in each state?

    There you would have a state controled popular election. Which is what the electorial college was ment todo.

    Even in the first elections nobody actually voted for an "elector", they voted for a president. Why not let the election actuall choise who you vote for?

    I find all the arguments quite flat. The don't realy seem to make a good argument for the current process. The thought that we would give up the election to federal powers is realy moot. There is no difference when it comes to a federial election.

    Respond to my main argument. The electorial process id designed to emulate a populare vote and it allmost always does? Why not simply make it a populare vote? It works in MANY other democracies, including the oldest, greece.

    I here you and agree. I don't under stand how the strange electorial college is an example.

    Its just old and strange. Why is every one afraid of change? Change is good. LEts just try it for one election. It won't effect anything realy and then we can move on.

    Move on? sorry...
