Too late, it is already done. Compare the US law with any banana republic law: - In a BR you can get detained just because. - With PATRIOT, its possible too.
- In a BR you can get a death punishment without a public trial. - If you are a foreigner in the US, thats possible too.
- In a BR, a group of people have the control. - In the US a group of corporate people have the control.
The only differences I find is the extent of poverty and the fact that you choose your dictator (or you think you choose) every four years. In terms of freedom, youll have to fight back for your rights.
Agreed, but... The writer, Larry Seltzer, complains about spammers abusing his account, and yet his online publisher sticks a link to his email address right at the bottom of everything he writes. I would suggest that if he wants to reduce the flow of junk to his inbox, he start with his own managers.
The point of all this is not to be afraid of posting your email address at the bottom of everything you write.

You have mixed key and encryption algorithm. You "put the key" in the algorithm, then feed the message, and there comes the ciphered text. To decrypt it you may need the same key or another, it depends on the type of algorithm you are using. You have a ton of public implementations of AES, DES, etc, as long as the full description by the authors.
It is also being able to influence people through ideas and arguments. The US?? Its about making what you want to happen actually happen. Ah, OK, didn't understand at the beginning. You meant "support your ideas and arguments with money and military power". Let's be sincere, all the important decisions that the US has made were blatantly in his own interest. Afghanistan? Hunt Bin Laden? No, build an oleoduct. Iraq? Throw out an evil dictatorship? Ha ha ha! They even want to put them CDMA! And how did they get allies? Through money. But your point is right. Superpower is getting things done, but in this fu**ed world of us is not ideas and arguments that get things done. It's money. And is not ideas that motivate getting things done. It's the same money.
What I do is: 4) In every computer I use (even if it is not mine) change the default page to google. Never seen anybody changing it back. 5) For everyone that gets its first internet experience (and that still happens), tell them what to use to search things. And then, show him/her different portals, that are for other uses.
2mbs internet access , digital TV and 2 phone lines for 30/mo??? My f***ing 256/128 adsl is 45/mo You french are REALLY odious. BTW, is it very difficult to get the french nationality?
Maybe by my post you may think that I blame the US for this. And I do, 50-50. Saddam is a fu**er dictator who deserve the worst death the us army can provide, now that they are at it. Nobody denies that. But think of some of your arguments:
The UN- and US-imposed sanctions have never affected imports of food or medicine.
The problem is not that they can't buy food or medicine. The problem is that they have no commerce. What do you give in exchange?. They "Oil for Food" UN program is not but a petty excuse that puts in the shoulders of the iraq governmet the cost of feeding their entire population. Yeah, the same governmet that gas its own population. Feeding his people. Pretty candid, for the UN, uh?
Recent history has told us that economic embargo only affects to the people, that won't blame their gov, but to whom imposes the embargo.
So is the rate of infant mortality in Iraq really related to the sanctions, which haven't had any affect on Iraq's ability to take care of children? Or is it more likely that the rate of infant mortality has been affected by the decision of the Iraqi regime to spend their treasury on the military instead of on food or medicine imports? Does your government feed your children? Mine don't. In the case of Iraq, it should, you would say, and you are right. But they are in a war and the government has chosen its priorities. The wrong ones, yes.
I mean, I don't want to put the blame on just one side (In spain we have an aforism: All they killed him, and he himself died), but we should expect more from a country that calls himself defender of the liberty. And the US has a lot to blame in this 650.000 children that died.
I'm posting this in response of every comment that has to do with death math unicef data: Infant Mortality Rate, years 1960, 1970, 1980, 1990, 1995, 2000:
The birth rate is 34.64 births/1,000 population. The population is around 23.000.000. Lets do math: Total number of births: 23m*34.64/1000 = 796720 The difference between the rate before and after the embargo is, 105-40 = 65, that considering that the rate wouldnt fall, like it did for its neighbour iran. So, infant died because of the embargo: 796720*65/1000 = 51786.8 50.000 children per year. The embargo started in 1990, now we are in 2003, so 13*50000=650000

Yeah, bit offtopic, but... OTOH, the worst part of Java, in my experience, is the standard set of APIs, so perhaps that'd be a good thing for the language and concept as a whole. You've not tried W^HVC++ and the MFC, right? You would be missing the Java API every second you work with it... (at least I do)
For example, it would be great if gaim would have a plugin for this purpose (that worked on windows and linux, not neccesarily in that order). I'm not sure if you can support NAT without some server interaction, though.
That's why DirectX is the darling of game developers.
Er... as far as I can tell, you don't use directX for your common apps... well, at least I don't. And when you do (Direct3D, DirectDraw), you can easily find a substitute for X - environment that is equally efficient (OpenGL, etc.)
Not that I say that X is the most suitable env. to do the graph work, but you'll have to put a LOT of pros in a potencial replacement to substitute X
We had a HP9000 at our cs faculty, one for all students, that we logged from dumb terminals. 1000 students. 1000 accounts of cs students doing Ps and Vs and forks to the poor machine. It's name was atila. Now it is a legend. I feel like a grandpa speaking like that, but those were the days...
I know, I know... I should google it, but... what kind of motherboard does the crusoe need? They offer you a reference design (Crusoe TM5800 System Development Kit), but I don't know of any other motherboard to run this proccessor.
But some day, the major KDE apps will be merely good enough for everyday use.
Honestly, for me, today. With two exceptions:
- upgrade (more to do with the distro)
- koffice (an ambitious project that I don't think will get mature without institutional support)
