Bennett gambled away his money on his time, it is his concern. Clinton lied under oath, on the court's time, which makes it America's time and money, thats the double standard here. The only politicos I see pushing gambling (casino and/or lottery) are Dem's, and their targets aren't multi-millionire authors and bureaucrats, they are the poor people who do not understand probability and compound interest.
ummm, where's the double standard on the right...the left appears to be the one making the big bucks off this war (Diane Fienstein's D-CA hubby got the real Iraq rebuilding contract, halibutron's is pocket change to this contract). The left is the one hanging Bill Bennet while defending Clinton, it the left who forgot Clinton made his own carrier visit in '93 and the D-Day staged photo-ops in '94
I'm just saying that they hand over trivially encrypted files everyday that are illegal to decrypt for otherwise legal purposes. I contend that they do not have a warrant (they do have a subpeona, but that does not carry the same weight as a warrant).
All I'm saying is make the RIAA get a real warrant like any other investigation team, fed, state or local, not a subpeona or a promise to get a subpeona from a district court clerk.
I contend that the law is unconstitutional, they have to get a warrant to get at your banking transactions, medical records (and most of those are completely inadmissable), and even your purchases at Blockbuster or Netflix, why is my 17.95/mo to my ISP any different.
IMS-4000's for all of our environmental alarms and much of our system heartbeat monitoring. We still have to use IPsentry for specialized probes (finger and https mostly) but it is a very cool system. If you use it, remember to record useful error messages, unless you know what IP goes with what device for everything on your network that the device does by default.
Yeah, but you want that info in case a real warrant comes through for a kiddie pornographer, death threats against the president, terrorist threats, etc.
The RIAA and MPAA have always had the ability to track the downloads of songs, using an IP address or some ungodly hostname like pool-2-246.manhattan.ny.ny.us.fooisp.com The RIAA is asking for Verizon to hand over who was using that IP/hostname at the timestamps specified. Verizon contends that you need a real warrant, signed by a judge, to get access to their logs. I agree with that totally, but apparently they have yet to find a judge with sufficent clue.
Provisionsing another DS-3 or ATM circut to a CO that already has all the fiber plant installed is a hell of a lot easier than trying to run a DS-3 to a neighborhood hut or splicing a fiber ring already in place. Now if your provider isn't getting enough of a pipe to the internet, you have a problem, but that can happen with any broadband solution.
I don't mind stripping businesses of their bullhorns but it should go both ways, strip the labor unions and greenpeace of their ability to lobby at the same time as Hallibutron and the NRA and we can talk. Point of fact though, at least the business interests spend their own money, labor unions take Tom, Dick, and Harry's money by force and throw it at democrats, regardless if they are conservatives or liberals.
BTW, acording to opensecrets.org, the dems got 84% of the entertainment industry money for the 2002 election cycle, so just pulling a straight ticket for the dems or the republicans won't do you any good, research who you are voting for.
Public financing of elections is not the way to go, it will only lead to corruption. There are enough wealthy liberals and conservatives to fund the election process for canidates they support. For every Mike Bloomberg there is a John Kerry(-Heinz, yes the condiment family) with deep pockets to run on their own campaigns without running on my tax dollar.

The last "New" nuke program was the ill-fated MX from the Reagan era, the US has concentrated on building a way to stop the enemies weapons from actually making the trip to the lower 48 since then. Star Wars, THAAD, the 747 mounted chemical lasers, and PAC-3 are studies in stoping ballistic missiles from reaching their targets, not launching new and interesting ways to destroy the Earth. Oh and what nuke treaty have we pulled out of?
My point is that wind isn't very energy dense compared to fossil fuel or nuke generation, to further stress that lowered potential with a 5% loss on a 300-500 mile trip from generator to home would decrease the viability of wind generation. Small scale solar and wind work well for residential households, but to get the juice for manufacturing (and the electric cars we are supposed to be driving), you are going to need more than a 100ft^2 solar array and a windmill at the momment. Neighboorhood associations pitch a fit when they see an 18" sat dish go up on someones house, what are they going to say when you plant a 50' windmill mast in the backyard. Oh to get a rough estimate on the inefficency of those trains, a modern gas engine is only about 12-15% efficent, diesels run closer to 20% (and most locomotives are Diesel/Electric). Can't tell you what the inefficency of that electric final stage on the train is but you can get the drift.
However, 20 train loads of coal produce hom many megawatts of power a day? My coop has 3 coal generator plants across east KY and they chew 8 million tons of coal/year for like 1.4 Gigawatts.
CNN and Fox (and the other cable news outlets, but those two are the only ones with reasonably large viewerships) do spin their coverage to fit their agenda's, most people seem to prefer Fox's take these days (based on recent viewership data, CNN has ben supplanted as the leader by Fox). NPR is making headway into becoming more ballanced in the last few years, probably to help cater to audiences that are transitioning to AM talk radio (Limbaugh, Hannity, Savage, local acts). There is talk of libs trying to break into the fold, but if they can't sell ad time, they won't last very long. That is free market economics at its best, competition for the listeners ear and ad dollars.
As for the issue of states rights/strict interpretation, the SC is split 5-4 ideologically, but your arguments about discrimination seemed flawed. The SC, if following the Constitution IMO, has grants no state the right to restrict cross (or flag) burning, allow affirmative action to stand (We are granted equal opportunity, not added opportunity based on race color or religion, or to allow schools to censor student's right to display their views (Confederate flags, "redneck" t-shirts, Malcom X or Black Panther symbols). The question of drug laws is interesting. Congress has determined that marijuana usage is detrimental to society (I tend to agree). Various states wish to allow usage in violation of Federal statutes. If people want to smoke dope, they need to either elect congresspersons who will repeal the 1938 Narcotics act or demonstrate to the court that marijuana usage is unfairly restricted by said act. Until those are proven, lock the bastards up IMO.
Elderly was 25 for the Cro-Magnon, these people could still hunt and bear young. Man only formed clans to secure larger prey (Mastadon) there is no advantadge for man to hunt rabbits or goats in packs.
Why would CNN and Fox be showing similar job satisfaction numbers for Bush, both sides have clearly set agenda's IRT the 2004 elections and they are mutually exclusive of each other. I'm smart enough to see it, you are too, and so are most American's. The power grab will be halted in the courts, remember that conservative judges are pro-states rights, which Patriot and the DMCA are clearly in oposition to.
My understanding is that wind works great in certain places, but that it is loud, ugly, and kills birds.
How do you account for changing weather paterns, is the Earth becoming more or less windy?
Meeting rising demand is also an issue, with fossil fuels you pour more oil/coal/gas into the engines, a nuke plant removes a couple of control rods, or a hydro plant diverts more water through the turbines, how does a wind plant increase production on a day when its 105F in Chicago and 20 elderly are dead by 10 AM from heat stroke.
Transmission loss has got to be killer, wind turbines are mostly out in uninhabitable areas right? Long transmission distance equals more losses for an already overtaxed system.
I wish the hippies down here would let us build cleaner energy sources, but Nuke fission and Hydro plants are even more taboo than fossil fuel generation. I just wonder if they will protest the first fusion plant, the absolute cleanest source of energy we can hope to generate.
Opensecrets.org provides voting records and money sources for politicians. They have a slight liberal slant IMO (CNN level, minus Peter Arnett) but they do make it easy to dig up the dirt. Offf their site I got that 84% of the media industry's money went to dems in the 2002 elections, based on their data, which is damming to some Republicans and to all but a few "clean" dems on this issue.
If you don't support the war you should shut up and stop supporting terrorism
Concede defeat in the 2000 election and quit calling the prsident a Nazi and we will stop calling you uninformed appeasers of totalitarianism. There is plenty of mud coming from both sides, I personally will be glad when the DMCA and PATRIOT get struck down or sunseted, but Bush is doing what 70% of America, the best foreign policy team since Nixon, and his own heart tell him to do. Would you prefer the president not listen to the people?

Yeah, but getting Jimmy Page and Robert Plant hookers, scotch and cocaine should not be grounds for destroying Kashmir.

The RIAA selling some people a DVD without a legal player for *nix is also useless, but it happens every day.

Ummm, jpeg is lossy compression, gif and png are lossless. Jpeg is good for photo's, png for logos, line art, and other high detail work.
Don't be too proud of this technological terror you've constructed. The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the /. effect
