This could be do-able, to keep the mechanicism of a 20'th century typewriter and have the swinging arm close the circuit (maybe surface the platten with a conductive material). I would bet a big part of the feel is the inertial response of the swinging arms. There would be a fair amount of delicate wiring, but you could route those to the replace the mechanical switches of a computer keyboard. The challenge with the wiring was that in the good old days everything was metal...to isolate the arms eletrically would be a tricky. An additional challenge would be adding all of the non-QWERTY keys (F1-F12, Alt, Esc, Page Up/Down etc.)
Let's present a scenario against this line of thinking. Suppose the Brazilians launch a satelite an extremely powerful imaging capability for researching rainforest bird populations (weird I know). Suppose they cooperate financially with the EU so this capability passes over much of the planet (including the USA). Since this COULD be used for spying on US, or military operations in Iraq, or....
On what moral authority could the US shoot this down? Is space dominance purely a function of pissing on it to make it yours?
As with the corporate world, there is no computer security unless there is physical security. How much porn is your kid going to surf if mom walks by periodically?
I have a trust but check policy and my kid is not yet particularly sophisticated at covering his tracks...once I see him doing things like clearing browser cache etc I know the race is on...but the trump card is access.
The key is to be aware of what is going on as you go so when the kid is sophisticated enough to hack logging they are also sophisticated to know what is out of bounds.
When the USA started measuring itself against the worst in the world instead of the best is when Al-Queda won. How many times have you heard the pundit apologists rationalize actions that go against everything America stands for with these stupid streams of logic?

If a decline in purchase of RIAA music corresponds with computer access by the target market, could it be possible the consumers are buying something else...say prefering playing video games instead of listening to music.
There is a difference between bias and deception. If a news source reports news that is favorable to one side of a debate that is bias. If you just plain make crap up, that is deception. Although the NY Times is arguably biased they do have fact checkers and generally strive to get their stories right.
Rush on the other hand frames his "facts and statistics" with assurances he is telling the truth (pretty much identifying the crap he has pulled from his fat ass).
However, should voting machines even come with a default password so that they can be hacked? Shouldn't reprogramming them require using some sort of physical/electronic key thats more difficult for people to get ahold of? If you can reprogram a voting machine by walking up to it and typing in any code, regardless of whether it's the default password or not, then the voting machine security is terrible. It's one thing to put a default password on a digital cable box for blocking channels, it's another matter entirely to put a default password on a voting machine.
And by this logic there is nothing under the surface of the Gulf of Mexico but sea water.
So all those oil rigs out there are performing alchemy...water to black gold?
Do you also suppose that the oil reserves under ANWR stop at the beach? The inhibitor of offshore drilling in the arctic is sea ice. This is the point of the parent post.
I would bet that it came out of one of the many Neo think tanks that have been building up the GOP for the last couple decades. The phrase no doubt was thoroughly test marketed with use of demographically selected focus groups from an array of alternative phrases.
That is all well and good as long as the operative definition of "Peacably" does not devolve into... "in accordance with the Office of Patriotic Policy."
When was the last time that every news agency in the world focused on the voting in Germany, France, or UK?
I am certain that if resolution of an election in those countries was as big of a circus as the Florida 2000 debacle it would have warranted news coverage.
Complaining that the world watches (and laughs) at our elections is like someone with a bolt through their nose and a "Social Leper" tattoo on their forehead saying "what are you looking at" for staring at them.
Letting your kid outside to play with his friends is un-workable in dangerous, urban environments.
How remarkably sad. If I did not have a place to "free range" my kids I would reconsider my priorities regarding where I live. There is much that is learned from open ended play with peers that I do not believe can be learned in a game context. Sure a great deal of social dynamics is appearing in games, but the implications of considering them a viable replacement for REAL human interaction is frightening at best. I let my kids play video games and some of their play running around outside is an extension of some of the games they play.
Jumping forward to an adult context, having a relationship with your right hand a virtual girlfriend does not pose the risk of pregnancy or STD's, but it is hardly a fulfulling relationship. For some it is a sad substitute, but it would be considered disfunctional if an individual considered it adequate.
That cat must not have had nine lives like a good little boy with a penchant for things that go BOOM. I was fortunate that the two mishaps I had were with smaller devices and the blasts did not hit me...directly.

There is of course the Googelplex
If you aren't doing anything evil why do you need secrecy (or privacy)?

The same principle should appy to smoke.
Surely a populace informed by a free press with a diversity of editorial leadership will provide aid and comfort to the enemy!

I wrote my first program in 1978 while in 4th grade...I can't imagine there are fewer kids coding 29 years later.
