As of 2002 it's a work of fiction, but in 2084 will it be. If we don't ensure that privacy rights aren't slowly eroded now, it very well could be by then.
I wonder if Nazism would be called hitlerism if there had been another Nazi leader. Say Hitler ruled for awhile, then died. Maybe his reign would be called 'Hitlerism' then the guy who came after him would have an 'ism' associated with his name after he died.
Fortunately we didn't find out.
Just thinking out loud...sort of
I'm not entirely convinced Microsoft is doing any better than any other tech company (although I have no factual evidence to support my claim). Based on recent events (Enron, Worldcom, etc...) I suspect Microsoft is probably good at hiding their problems.
I know this is offtopic, but
"Corporate governance is so established, in the future the Federal government won't exist, everything will be run by the corporations"
is one of the scareist (sp?) things I've heard.
Communism is not China's culture.
China has one of the oldest cultures in the world...they have been communist for just over 50 years (I think).
Communism is China, much like Communism in the rest of the world was headed those who had no interest in the philosophy of communism. They were men who were interested in serving their own meglo-manic (sp?) desires. They did it in the name of Communism.
This is precisely why you Americans are so hated. You think that because *you* have "Freedom of Speech" everybody else does as well. American laws exist within the bounds of America. America only! Understand?
Why would you assume, that some constitutional "right" that exists in *your* country would exist in anybody elses country....let alone a communist one.
You are a retard...but I expect no less from an American.

I've never understood people's love of vi. Pico is way better. When I worked on a 'green screen' I always used pico. Much nicer.
