Is there any way to make the calculations more useful (i.e. Boinc) and still maintain the same level of difficulty in the computations? It just seems so wasteful to run Bitcoin at this time.
Please define "sensible" civilian gun control in the US and explian how it will prevent criminal gun use in Mexico?
Fact - Civilians in the US cannot leagally own M-16s or any other fully automatic weapon without a FFA licence.
I loved them both and thought they had great potential. The only analysis I can personally offer from my experience as to why I think they failed is that it is the difference between the telephone and walkie-talkies. Both Groove and Wave assume a full near-real time connection. If you look at email, twitter, sms, facebook, etc. they are all asynchronous portals. People think they want real time communications but in reality, the control of passing on answering a call or thinking about a idea for a minute before typing or speaking is a fundamental. These systems just don't quite accommodate that human need.
"It was terribly dangerous to let your thoughts wander when you were in any public place or within range of a telescreen. The smallest thing could give you away. A nervous tic, an unconscious look of anxiety, a habit of muttering to yourself--anything that carried with it the suggestion of abnormality, of having something to hide. In any case, to wear an improper expression on your face...; was itself a punishable offense. There was even a word for it in Newspeak: facecrime..."
- George Orwell, 1984, Book 1, Chapter 5
"The thought police would get him just the same. He had committed--would have committed, even if he had never set pen to paper--the essential crime that contained all others in itself. Thoughtcrime, they called it. Thoughtcrime was not a thing that could be concealed forever. You might dodge successfully for a while, even for years, but sooner or later they were bound to get you."
- George Orwell, 1984, Book 1, Chapter 1

It also works well for the leaders of other countries, namely Iran. Technology may for the short time give the regular person the upper hand until it can regulated into oblivion
Adjusting for inflation (http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0001519.html) that would be no income tax for everyone below $1,067,821.78 in 2008 dollars.
This is what is wrong with society - it is not a partisan or even a US problem. It is an honor problem.

Maybe we just don't need all the governments we have around the world, we just need people to have honor and uphold justice.

If they could just get the metabolism loop the run on caffeine in the daylight and feed into the alcohol metabolism at night I would be in heaven!
That is amazing!

One of the most cogent posts I have ever read on Slashdot. Wish I had a mod point for you!

Nice! Wish I had a mod point!
DLink - DNS-323 with two WD 1 TB Green Drives. Quiet, works out of the box and is also Linux hackable if you feel the need.
Enjoy!

No, it is taxpayer dollars and a government government program. They are talking about orbiting Uranus and preparing to land...
