Now I've done it, in admitting that I'm a Paper Chemist, not a republican Nazi who works for the FBI...or worse. (Even thought I have friends at places like that). Anyway, the facts are simply this: Paper useage will grow at a rate of 4-7% for the next 20 to 25 years. The paper industry will see a shift to the use of digitally printed paper when folks like Scitex figure out how to do 4 color process (like a printing press) at 250 ft/Min. They are very close, and should announce that this fall( but they've said that before too). Each Scitex machine will print 10,000 tons of paper a year; so the day may come where it's faster to digitally master and print publications like USA Today on a Scitex. It is already used to print those magazine inserts with your name on it. Finally by the year 2015, digitally printed paper will account for 37% of the worldwide paper markey, as opposed to 4-5% now (and that's being generous, it's actually lower). It will do this at the expense of paper being printed by flex or rotogravure. However those markets won't go away, in the ensuing years they will become static as the overall market doubles in size; allowing digitally printed paper to become more of a commodity market than it is today.
Oh, and don't expect a paperless office, we in the paper industry have seen a 2 fold increase since Xerox announced that in the 70's. Paper is always going to be there, as technology plods on new uses will replace those that fall by ther wayside. That's my $0.02, but it's an accurate one.
Actually this technoilogy has been in use for more than a couple of years. The customs at heathrow, and gatwick have had this technology for some time, as well as Uncle Sam. The use of the techology is ok by me, as long as it is used responsibly. Shades of Big Brother. The Brits actually have a lot of cameras everywhere, or didn't anyone else watch that 60 Minutes?
What a banal comment, and you sometimes wonder of the age or IQ of slashdotters who make these gaffs. What I wonder is how fast that bb is orbiting in your head.
watch out eyes, over the nose, look out mouth..there it goes!!
Come back in 100 years, it might be practical. The cost per lb to orbit is way too high, and the prices/lb to orbit will only fall by a factor of 10 with the next Gen shuttle. For everybody else, it'll take a bigger fall in prices for a per lb to orbit price which we can all afford. Oh, by the way; by then, prices will have gone up. Remember those $5000 cars in the 60s and 70s; now they are $25000 avg. So, by no means will the price fall for the per lb to orbit.
Not to be one to throw water on the parade, but if you just want to wax eloquent on the possibilites on space sex...go ahead...but the whole idea is a Hilton pipe dream.
Velcro, tethers, and hand holds, would seem a good starting point for space. Doesn't matter, it won't happen in our lifetime realistically. Money is better spent on earth (on the less fortunate) than to develop a vacation spot in space.
ELF transmissions go out in Oahu at a marine base off of Hammerhead Bay. The attennae is about.75 mile across with ~ 5 interconnected arrays. The mountains form a horseshoe with the attennae connected between these peaks. The transmissions are so low frequency, as the other poster noted , that the frequncies are transmitted throught he ground.I believe they are also now using blue green lasers from orbit to communicate the flash traffic as well.As an aside, the mountain has a set of ladders going up 3000 ft which you can climb (they call it the stairway to Heaven on the base). Great fun, takes about 6 hours up and down. The controller for the array is at the end of the Stairway.

Only if you're a terrorist, or are involved in illegal activity; right?
Being from the South I support to right to bear arms, but I also support the need to enforce the Law. That means a technical ability to monitor communications, individuals, corporations, and criminals for illegal activity needs to exist.
I prefer the folks wielding guns to be trained. Private citizens like you would seem to voice a desire to plug anyone coming through your door. If it's the Police, then most likely they are there by design, because you did someting illegal to draw their attention. If it's a crook, and you blow them away; you better make sure they are threatening you; or you might spend some well deserved time in Jail.
You don't have a clue do you? Wiretap's issued under Federal court order will get you indicted and convicted.. If you admit illegal activities on tape or phone, and the crime is severe enough, John Law can and will nail your butt to a wall. They will use the tape or video, along with corroborating evidence in court. End of story

Hmm... Seems like these topics bring out all the libertarian off-topic reply's at/.
Without being labeled a Nazi(I'm Republican), and as someone familar with Law Enforcement; it is important that the ability, and technology exists to allow investigation to go on unfettered.
If you don't support the basic right of the Police to enforce the laws: 1.Vote_in_a_candidate whose agenda will allow him to change the unappealing law...That is what a democracy is about after all. 2.Failing that, if you think the Police want to snoop for no reason (ur wrong!!), just be sure to not call on them the next time you need them.

Legalizing drugs will not solve problems. Those who use will use to excess, creating more problems, both social; and legal. It's easy, let's have drug free America.
"With the apparent inevitability of taxes on transactions over the web, what exactly will/should be defined as private transactions that are not to be taxed? "
Whay are new taxes necessarily inevitatable? Quit voting Libertatian, or Democratic, and vote for tax reform as a Republican. The fact is phone transactions are not taxed, if ordered out of state (in most states). Why should internet transactions, carried out with businesses which are out of your state have a different standard??? Call or write your Representative and Senator to urge his comittment to no new taxes. If enough folks do that, they listen. Don't roll over and play dead (which is what you do if you give in to it as inevitable).
Right!!!!! The NSA would never decrypt data from inside the US. Just like Drug Task Forces never do anything illegal in the (justified) pursuit of illicite drug manufacturers. What Planet are you from? You assume from naivite that I don't understand the NSA or Echelon. One comment doesn't mean I'm stupid. Nonetheless, you're naive if you think that the Feds stop gathering data (in any fashion they want because there's a law.) They just can't use that stuff in court; but they do use it to focus the investigation. I'll bet all those guys just shiver in their boots at the thought of using their collection methods in the US......Yeah right/.
I agree with the other poster. Hmmmm....with Echelon, the NSA would really have no need for a backdoor to Windblows; but then gain; how hard is it to crack Windblows? The NSA has some of the best crypto/math folks; so you really need to ask yourself if they would leave something so obvious. They are a little more adept than that.
I loved some of the movies. the original series, and TNG. Frankly, DS9 was a soap opera, and Voyager....was just barf-bait. I watch TV to be entertained, and I found that Voyager was just one implausable adventure after another, with equally implausable resolution of the problems. So, within the first 4-5 shows, I quit watching. Boring boring, that's all I thought. I disagree with others, I found that the time travel plots (which intelocked were pretty good. And get someone like Patrick Stewart for a Captain; he was great. Janeway, she was just a polically correct window dressing. As a general rule TNG was pretty good. Even the original series had some weak plots. But, if the new series is based on DS9 or Voyager, well hopefully the movies will be better. Hmmm Movies, what happened to having Alan Dean Foster write plot for a movie; everything after The Wrath of Kahn was pretty weak as well.
An article in USA Today said that Star Office would be hard pressed to overtake M$ and their "100 million loyal fans". Were they smokin' something? Hmmmm....StarOffice for free; MS Office V xxxx......$500 to $600, or as an upgrade $300? I won't complain like some of the other posters, since if you really want to hurt M$, hit them in their pocket. The article said that M$ wouldn't take this sitting down, which would seem odd to me; since they couldn't match Sun's price (free). Seems to me that everyone in open source should cheer, since Sun has made a major shot across the M$ bow. Quit complaining, and think how this could add to the woes of M$.
Jesse waa a Seal, and I'm sure he supports the need for criminal prosecution. I agree that some controls (for non-abuse by the Police) are necessary, but you only need watch the reply's to several of these privacy issues, and take stands like I did to get called a Nazi.The simple fact is that as a general rule, the Police don't have time for breaking into anyone's computer just to do it. Hackers/Crackers do that. The Police do it under court order, which contrary to some folks beliefs, are harder to obtain than they think. This isn't the 50'S, and and law enforcement has improved in the last 40 years. While not perfect, generally they don't have any agenda; except to uphold the law. That's not to make excuses for things like FBI files ending up in the Clinton Administrations hands. Stuff like that should be prosecuted. What I said is only reasonable, but other remarks are aimed at a personal flame attack on the poster. So in my reply I flamed them for their asanine remarks up-front. Too many posters on/. think that the use four letter replies make them look witty. Not so. I pay taxes like everyone else; and am entitled to my own opinion.
And finally, no I am not kidding. The Police are only doing a thankless job. While you might rail against them in your comments; think about what it might be like if they weren't at the end of 911. I was serious, either work within the system to change it, or shut-up. Libertarians seem to support all sorts of attitudes towards personal freedoms, until it come to discussion of opinions that are contrary to theirs. Then, they attack you...that seems to go against the idea of personal expression. Odd isn't it, where they want double standards like that?
Everytime you take libertarians to task over privacy issues, they call you a Nazi. Fact is they probably never carried a M-16 in defense of the country; so go figure.... You take them to task over encryption standards, they claim foul, and you gotta be a f---ing Nazi. (I guess they use all the dirty words since their pinheads are so small & only so many words will fit, and you know 4 letter words are smaller, so more of them fit in their pinhead.)
Seriously, a friend of mine does have the key to my house, and he's a cop (for taking care of any false alarms when I'm on the road..) So what's the big deal, encryption standards, the gov'ts right to monitor illegal behavior. Personally I LIKE feeling safe. Libertarians act like all that will happen is an abuse of any new rights given to the police. That is NOT a given.
While it is true Police do accasionally abuse thier power, they also have the discretion not to give you a ticket when they pull you over. Not every cop is bad, in fact most of law enforcement is on the up and up.
However, seems like everytime I post a comment this, people quote T Jefferson (A little revolution every now and then is a good thing) etc.)
Fact is, if the founding fathers never had any idea of our modern world; where Sarin and Nukes are the weapons of chioice for mass destruction. God forbid we ever have to worry about biological warfare. But no, in the defense of a minority of criminals rights, we should tie up the hands of law enforcement?
Not!! Everytime I look at what the world has become, I feel that the founding fathers, who were basically VERY consevative (and religous!!)would be turning over in their graves at how their names are abused to try and protect the a small criminal element over the greater good for society. They had no idea of nukes, bio bugs, gas, drug dealers or terrorist's; but if they had I feel that they would have thought there were circumstances where the rights of the individuals stopped, and the rights of the society (or humanity) started. Nor did they have any idea that the country they founded would be the leading SuperPower. Perhaps if they had had some insights to all this; their take might have been quite enlightening.
Personally, I have no great secrets to hide by encryption, or otherwise. I support the right of the police in areas of criminal investigation etc; mainly because I know so many. They are to a man honest.
