1) Anyone who thinks that taxes have ANY purpose other than to pull in revenue is gullible. Honestly, I know you've been told by the media and
your friends that it's there to modify behavior. But, er... no. It's there to tax you, and it will hide behind any reason.
2) How long do you honestly think it will be before they (OR.) will catch
some criminals via this tracking system? Law enforcement will call it a "breakthrough" or "tool" or "revolution" in crime fighting. Since the system would is already in place... what honestly would you do to stop that abuse?
3) If there were long periods of time between uses of a vehicle... or you do something like fill up your 5 gallon gas tank for your lawn mower
when you're at the pump. You'd most likely be investigated, or at minimum "red flagged" for odd behavior because you pumped more gas than your car
requires for the millage you done. Thus (OR.) would have a reason to investigate you later if you were suspected of any illegal activities.
Just some thoughts.
...that route worked the best for me. I'm a high school drop out, no college, no certs. I've been working as an IT Specialist for the Federal Gov for 18 months now. Before this, I was a field manager for a Marketing Company.
What I did, was applied to 5 jobs a day, EVERY day on Monster. I felt, that given a long enough time line, the odds would swing into my favor. It was about 5 weeks, and I got my current job.
Intel demands that Google no longer require any sort of internet connectivity for the use of their search engine, as Intel spends hundreds of thousands a year in bandwidth costs.
Well, personally I start off by being '25', and I remain that way throughout the whole day... then, I do some 'doughnut curls' (while still 25) and drink several beers and then sleep. Try it!

If you use XP Embedded as your OS (which would make sense given the application) you could enable WDP (Windows Disk Protection) and use HORM (Hibernate Once Resume Many). You just hibernate the system in the state that you would like it in, turn on WDP and BOOM! Fast booting in to your app... plus you don't need to write as script or something to automaticly start your app.
Is that so hippy? Would you like a mouse pad made of hemp? Just kidding, all the left wingers went over to digg at some point within the last 2 years. =]
Anyone here give thought to the possibility that we're (The USA or NATO) installing hardware to spy on these countries? If I were to do something like that, that's how I'd do it... except I'd add more time in between the cuts... sounds to me like a government agency just got approval for a pet project.
I'm not sure if anyone has said this yet, but I honestly beleive that Vista is basicly going to go the way of Windows ME. It's going to be the release that everyone skips and moves to the next one. In the same way people skipped ME to go to XP.... just a thought.
Has anyone considered the fact that this person may have been using a public terminal rather than using a home computer? That how I leave all my slanderous comments about people. =]

See guys, this is just like the Russian "use a pencil, instead of reinventing the pen" thing, they allow smoking on there flights, they can see where the smoke is being suck out. Besides, what's the worst that could happen with an open flame on a space ship?
Yes, I too am a conservative and I am "afraid" that your post Mr.... Anonymous Coward is quite an over generalization. Also, I would like to note that you are on the opposite side of conservatives and you call both Charles and I cowards, yet you are the one who posted anonymously. =D On a serious note, if you don't want your MySpace account "hacked" don't have one... they suck.
P.S. Kiwi Fruit scares the crap out of me too, what the hell is with all the seeds?

Since EDS owns all the NMCI systems, that narrows down the number of affected systems to about 1200 workstations and 30 servers. (or at lest in NW Washington) I don't honestly see this affecting much of anything... and I seriously doubt that we will ever deploy anything other than MS based workstations... they are easy to setup, fix and use. Our goal is for the sailors to be able to communicate with their family's and relax... not push our software preferences, but to push theirs.

So... network monitoring using What's Up Gold is not an argument?

Hey! It's like that Futurama episode, except it's with limestone instead of ice... COOL! Eh... well, sort of.
It's Enhanced Write Filter... not WDP. WDP is the same feature used in Windows SteadyState... it's just a different acronym for the exact same thing. Sorry. Linky: http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archive/2004/12/01/273462.aspx

I hate to be "that guy", but I watched this video on hackaday.com when it was posted... yesterday. Thanks for not citing your sources /. =]
