If the govt can't even get labels on food that's been irradiated or genetically engineered (important things that effect everybody and that a lot of people are concerned about), I have little faith in them putting labels on something like entertainment media that outside of the computing pseudo-intelligentsia and chinese midnight street market circles, nobody cares about.
the urgent need to abolish DRM and copy protection .
(Don't get me wrong, I would prefer lack of copyright and copyprotection, I'm trying out for Fox News with all this wild speculation)

And this leads us nicely into the real world. The designers of the antennas for PCMCIA cards face a real problem. It is not easy to form antennas onto the small circuit board inside the bulbous plastic cover that sticks of the end of the PCMCIA card. I won't go into the technology here, but below is plotted a typical sensitivity measurement for a laptop equipped with a PCMCIA WLAN card. The effective gain of this antenna is low, less than 0 dBi (typically -4 dBi) and it is very directional.
If you notice the orientation of your pcmcia card, your radio signals are radiating out at a 90 degree angle from what would be optimal for talking to your AP.
Could be part of the problem.. Try turning your laptop 90 degress onto it's side.:)
How can people be suprised when most states are At-Will
employees? And what's the difference between someone
publishing libel about co-workers as opposed to slandering them in the coffee room?
Would any employeer want that kind of negative energy around?
If you had someone badmouthing your staff, if even for legitimate reasons would you want that information broadcast to the world?
If you're the type of person to blog every little
thing that happens to you good, bad, and ugly -- are you going to recoil with a gasp when it comes back to put you on the ass end of an ass-kicking?
This is really a common sense issue. You get what you give, and if you're so desperate to get it off your chest there are non-googleable ways of expressing it.
Maybe you could go yell 'fire!!' in a crowded theater?
If you want a cheap set-top box for playing video, you can't go wrong with Xbox. I'd rather have a 100 meg link than 802.11b anyway. Streaming SVCDs gets choppy @ 11mbit.
Moore's law just says that processor speed or density will double or the price will be cut in half (every 18 months I think?).
As most technologies have progressed their manufacturing costs have gone down, computers are the most damning example of this.
So, for a while CPU speeds might stall, but prices will go down.
I wouldn't be suprised to see a 'hiccup' that lasts five to seven years where prices go down and tiny granular jumps are made in speed until some sort of breakthrough is found through alternate processing technologies. (Quantum? Light? Nano?) that would provide some 10 to 100 fold increase that would exceed Moore's Law and negate it in a good way.
Please take note that this announcement didn't come from OpenBSD.org. The guys doing it as just doing it as their own project (which is neat). One of the main reasons people enjoy OpenBSD is that it's code has been audited by Theo and his folks and prepared to be the most security oriented distro around.

Before any dictionaries in tennis shoes pipe up.
Milhouse: Maybe we should put it on the internet?
Bart: No! we need to get it to people with opinions that really matter!
I guess the nine people who use this are so estatic they're busy getting price lists for switching to Apples rather than posting their adulation...

Why not take it a step further, have it check the database and filter out the noise?
