We can't RIP (rest in peace) until the RIP act is dead, and we better let it RIP after we RIP it to shreds otherwise it'll probably come back and RIP our privacy apart.
Fax your letter to your MP to tell them you'll RIP your ballot if they don't RIP the act apart!
The US tries hard to impose its draconian laws in areas like computer security, child pornography, and copyrights on other countries. The US assists police in foreign countries with raids on their citizens, detains visitors to the US (viz the Adobe case), and seizes assets. And the UK (libel) and Germany (Nazi hate speech) are trying to do the same thing.
Given what restrictions powerful nations like the US, the UK, and Germany are trying to impose on speech in other countries, they really don't have any reason to complain when other countries try to do this as well. What they can do and should do is criticize is Mugabe, his regime, and his policies, independent of how those policies spill over into the Internet.
And my god these machines are beautiful and fast. You won't believe how much they can do. Of course, they're not as fast as the ones used for the nuclear simulations and stuff, but they make your AMDs and Intels look like horse and carriages compared to a Ferrari.
I have the honour of building one of these machines. It sucks about 50kW of power. You can only dream of getting one of these machines.
The "SX-6 Series" will be shipped from the end of December 2001 with the monthly rental price starting from 2,800,000 Yen.
By my calculations thats actually only about 22 thousand a month in dollars. Not like I can afford one, but frankly I would've thought they charge more.
