Absolutely it's possible. While both conventions had huge protests outside their doors, which the mainstream media generally hid from the public, it was all broadcast, however, on the growing http://www.microradio.net. Then streamed out to multiple locations, and broadcast on local microradio stations in various US and Intl cities. It was truly great hearing live from the streets audio, interviews, etc. (archived audio is available in 30 min bites).
This is an example where a very cheap technology ($150 for an xmtr to attach to your computer) is giving the people a powerful democratic voice to compete with big money media. Access to media is, in my opinion, essential to a democratic process.
What about all those hundreds of pounds of Lead in the batteries? Solar is great while the sun is shining, but as a system it includes batteries with lots of Lead. Are they cleanly recyclable?
While the puzzles do add interest, what really attracts me to a game is the amount of exploration there is. How about a *huge* world, with parts perhaps even computer-generated, where you can follow a trail for a *long* time? Or a "real" persistent space would be excellent, with network play, property ownership, building capabilities, etc. Let's *really* meet people online. I'd also love a driving game called "Interstate 5" where you drive the interstate in realtime, and had dynamically generated scenery (quasi-true-to-life), dynamically generated other vehicles (w/ network play capability), etc. Think I'll stop in Sacramento for the night before heading to Mexico!
Why not have filtering in the children's section of the library, and no filtering in the general section? That way parents can leave kids with the kids books & kids net, and not have to worry. Have lawmakers considered filtering only the kids sections?
The article gives a good explanation of why open source & linux will overtake the desktop in roughly three years. So I'm reading and waiting for the part where it says the court doesn't need to intervene because of this argument, and then comes along a short one-paragraph conclusion that totally contradicts the whole article! What gives?
If MS falls under "centralized control", would it not then represent socialism? And if Linux falls under "evolution and natural selection of a decentralized marketplace" would it not represent capitalism?

Do you think PGP has been compromised, and is there any way to really know?
