I live in Titusville, FL and work in Cocoa Beach as a subcontractor to the military. Patrick Air Force Base is a different and separate entity to Cape Cavanaveral Air Force Station.
As a badged and cleared employee, I've walked around the base of the gantries from which they launch Titans, after attaching the boosters, the payload, then the command (autopilot, etc.) module on top.
People are people. If an individual has full rights (as a homosexual individual does), rights cannot be removed because of grouping, as in a couple.
Homosexual relationships need to be recognized as valid, and until then the US will simple have people emmigrating and traveling to places where their relationship is recognized by the Gov't.
The RIAA-mafia wants ISPs to throttle our data access.
Think of the children!
How will little Bobby ever graduate if he can't access information on such vital subjects as: language, history, science, math,...wait for it..., *gasp* pR0n!, warez, and MP3s!!
Seriously, asking the ISPs to throttle access for those of us who download more than 100 gigabytes per night of perfectly legal pornography need to think about whose needs come first. Bobby's or the perv on the corner with the pasty skin.
Government will not allow a happy populace to exist.
Why is marijuana illegal in many countries?
Because users are happy and non-violent.
Why is sex criminalized in so much of the world?
Because sexual satisfaction leads to a happy, productive, and inventive populace.
Why does male-oriented rule exist in the majority of the world?
Because males outnumber females. Simple.
Happy people do not war and strengthen government.
Males are physically stronger than females. In this Age, this allows male testosterone to rule because males have only two drives: fuck it or kill it.
It is females that are the creative, imaginative, life producers. Women currently are mostly subjugated slaves who unknowingly contribute to a world of hate, violence, and war.
What is the answer? Yoga and tantra. Life has not changed in recent millenia nor in the past 5000 or 10000 years. Life is about loving connection with friends and realization of the Self. All else is delusion and mental masturbation.
"If I write songs for free, I can't pay the rent."
"They're stealing our music. Our RIAA-Overlords are unhappy!"
...
Let the music companies run a secured BitTorrent network. Access to this MediaNet would be by subscription. Subscribers receive a username plus an RSA SecurID key generator. A SecureID keyfob is an eight-digit number generator. Every sixty-seconds a new number appears according to a pseudo-random number generating algorithm.
When I access the AT&T Gov't Solutions home page, there are three items needed: my username, my user-defined PIN, and the number displayed by my keyfob. Because the home computer in Vienna has a copy of the algorithm in my keyfob, it's number is identical. This verifies (to the network) that I'm me.
This guarantees that only instance of a subscribed account could exisct on the network at any one time. The network would have include in the database all known songs.
Just think, all known songs for a low, low price of $6.66 per month. Sell your soul to the media-overlords for just the price of fast-food meal.
Certain IMAX theatres are responding to perceived morals of potential clients by not showing certain educational films.
Obviously, these certain theatres and their clients belong to the low-brow, buckwheat-chewing, tobacco spittin', cousin-humpin' citizens of the mid-West Red states.
Yum is a hack for RPMs. At their base, their very format invites dependency problems. Red Hat has simply studied this problem and found a hack that deals with most problems.
The Debian format,.deb, was designed to overcome the perceived problems with.rpm. It achieves this with stunning success.
For a stable Linux distribution, you should experiment with Debian.
New programs first enter Debian testing. Be careful using this as there may be unknown errors.
After becoming more stable, packages move into Debian unstable. This is a fairly solid set of packages but unknown problems may exist.
After more testing and declaration of stability, packages move to Debian stable. This distribution is slightly outdated, but extremely stable.
I run Debian unstable as my desktop and can count the number of problems I've had in the past year with my hands behind my back (i.e., none).
The best feature of Debian is the way is the fabled system update feature: apt. This simple tool allows you to update all packages on your system with one simple command; "apt-get update;apt-get upgrade". This command updates the database of available packages and then upgrades all packages on the system.
I won't even touch on how this simple tool can be extended via rules to only update certain packages, packages from a certain source, packages for a certain bit of software (i.e. the KDE desktop), etc.
If you've never used Debian, a bit of time spent learning the various features would be time well used. I've used Corel Linux, Mandrake, Red Hat, and when I tried Debian I knew I had found my Final Distro. No more "RPM-Hell" for me!
Not too many moons past, I suggested that Google implement "Personal Home News Pages" where a user could define topics in which they are interested. It would provide news "tuned" to the indidual.
This seems to be something similar. It is good to see good ideas being implemented.
(I'm merely glad to help Google respond to user needs.)
OK, the Holy Grail of solar power has been realized. Don't jump for joy before you clear the nails from the area.
Society is controlled by Big Bu$ine$$. Big Bu$ine$$ controls the di$tribution of Power to the masses (us!).
Cheap solar power destroys that fragile balance. Inventors around the world are constantly finding new and cheaper ways to create usable power. This will most likely be crushed and the inventors "canceled and removed" before anything can result.
The Power$ that be will not allow dense energy storage devices to exist. The only way a product like this can be created is by a lone inventor, slaving in their basement.
Can you imagine the uproar that would occur if someone announced they made a "battery" with a storage in the kW range? If it could be provided with a large solar cell input and in a few weeks of charging would power a house? The inventor would quietly disappear.
Someone put a paranoia filter on news blurbs like this.

What is the meaning of all this "Bible"-this and "Bible"-that which I read?
America is only a small part of the world, and the Christian Bible is a still smaller part of the world's religious writings.

Any takers for how long it'll be before Little Jimmy cracks this software?

Wahhh, wahhh, wahhh!!! BitTorrent is slow and therefore sucks!!!
No, your internet connection is slow. Try broadband. I'm on Brighthouse Road Runnner (Time-Warner) and have no problems uploading or downloading.
