Look at every single type of legislation that they actively try to pass... All of it involves redistribution of funds away from democratic initiatives that suck money to their "more effective" form of social control legislation.
Not that the democrats deserve any sort of defense. There is probably a good share of support for this in the democratic party as well due to its overall pragmatically unprincipled kowtowing to the (percieved) public feeling of the moment (guided by media pundits of course) on any issue.
I would suggest that people opposed to this should start looking at all the other political parties in existence and work on perhaps building a coalition of like minded parties on this issue.
Yeah... prison labor... that's the solution to the country's ills.
Just wait untill more people start thinking that is the way to go and start a mandatory policy of imprisonment. Saves the rest of us money dont you think? What should the ratio be. Hmmmm...
Anyone who actually thinks that it saves money to society to have someone locked in jail doesnt stop to consider the fees we pay to the correctional institution infrastructure in this country. One of the top growing industries I hear. Someone got some hot tips on stocks?
Its far more economically sensible to not have to put someone in prison in the first place. The amount of money that person makes (which gets spent by them and gets taxed from them) is far more beneficial than having them operate a drill press in the big house.
Here's something that comes to mind about the nature of the government and its security policies on their taxpayer bought hardware.
Why the hell arent they tightening their security up?
It seems to me that a greater more cost effective solution to costly legal expenditures and questionable police state tactics would be a sturdy security policy.
With perhaps a horde of these new Information Warfare kids hired as security consultants all dutifully exploring and getting bonus cash for the holes found in the governments "essential information infrastructure" holes could be patched money could be saved and a whole lot of civil liberties can remain untouched by the grubby hands of the justice department.
Anyone else seem to think there is a conspiracy of lax security luring little hack weenies to attack government websites and get caught so that they can portray the nations data networks as in need of government protection?
(Free kevin!) but prosecute him for credit card fraud.
I'd like to see if those in the know out there can answer this one... If you can use RLE Compression rather than LZW then unisys really has no effect on the gimp whatsoever. All in all having contracted for them before I can see why they come off as asses to most open source people. Then again most debian zealots come off to me the same way:) you know who you are. But they are basically a company thriving on government contracts that really has decided against into the personal computing user space at all. They do mainframes. That they do well. Everything else they do is not really of much consequence until people start getting annoyed at the unseen Microsoft/Unisys/etc. tax on our government spending.
You miss the point. Some of the sections of writing in Gibsons works [de/e]volve into a poetic expression of the moment. Kind of like a small textual origami peice that bursts a stream of data into you. Damn good stuff.
Overly descriptive? I like the whole John Shirley esque scenery that Gibson seems to draw from. Its good to be immersed in text and shows alot of skill when you are limited to a medium that has no imagery.
Though I wish glibc would be converted to with this particular distro I am *quite* pleased with slackware for ease of use stability and the name;)
With 4.1 slackware I am sure I will be a pleased Linux user. Though unlike many linux users RedHat was what I started with and I moved to slackware later.
15 Kids Died and now its being used by the MEDIA to get ratings the Right Wingers to attack civil rights (except for Gun Rights) and the Left Wingers to also attack civil rights (especially Gun Rights). The kids who did it were way gone and very misguided. But I fear the overreaction to this thing will increase the pressure that caused it to begin with.
There is a GUI Toolkit builder for GTK called Glade that may still be in development...
Very buggy when I was testing it. But showed promise. It also didnt hamstring the programmer with too many features in its initial incarnation.
I like RAD tools when used in parallel with text editors, shortens learning time in the beginning by giving you source examples of gui placement so you dont get bogged down in posistioning of components.

Conservatives for less government? Ha.

Im thinking the protocol or method would be more similar to UUCP for the exchange of data than TCP/IP. Will kibo gain more followers? I think so.
You are a moron.
