Excellent point! Then maybe the editors should do a little s/Bush/GOP.
And come on, if the GOP really had all the power people think they do, why are they having so many problems getting judges and ambassadors to the U.N.? Oh, I remember, they don't have 60 votes. Also, keep in mind that when the Patriot Act went into effect, it was bi-partisan for the most part. There were a lot of votes from both sides of the aisle.
Really, I'm not taking sides, I'm just saying that both parties should take some blame on this one. The amount of FUD that travels through Congress could choke a horse....
Congress creates the bills, the President merely signs them into law.
Where is all the uproar about the Congressmen who voted for these laws? I see plenty of anti-Bush sentiment here, but where's the outrage towards *your* representatives who approve of this?
Get angry all you want at the occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave, but don't give a free pass to the occupants of both the Hart and Russell Senate Office Buildings, they typically stick around a lot longer than a President.
IANAL, but if you refuse to give up your private key and you have something to hide, can the state force you to reveal it? Or is that tantamount to forcing you to incriminate yourself? I would think that any information concerning encrypted data in that scenario would be inadmissable since it would probably prejudice a jury.
As a side note, with that earlier/. article about the MS guy saying to write your passwords down, is encrypting my password list an act with criminal intent?
What are the implications of RFID for automotive suppliers?
There are no industry-based automotive mandates out there today. Perhaps the only exception to this is the Tire TREAD Act in which RFID is specified as a method of identifying tires supplied to OEMs. The U.S. Congress passed the TREAD (Transportation, Recall, Enhancement, Accountability and Documentation) Act after the Firestone/Ford Explorer issues emerged. The act mandates that carmakers closely track tires from the 2004 model year on, so they can be recalled if there is a problem. RFID tracking could be available for the 2005 model year. Michelin revealed that it has begun fleet testing of an RFID transponder embedded in its tires to enable them to be tracked electronically. After it completes testing, which will likely last 18 months, Michelin plans to begin offering automakers the option of purchasing tires with embedded transponders.
But there is no reason why automotive manufacturers and suppliers should not adopt RFID to achieve supply chain improvements just like any other industry.

Any chance this isn't as heinous a plot as parent believes?
Hey man... don't blame me, I just went to Bible.com and looked up "moon". I'm not out to prove anything to anyone about the bible, I was just pointing out references in a known, historical document - that's all./not a jesus freak, just bored.
Despite what the revisionist historians tell you, there is no mention of the "moon" anywhere in literature or historical documents -- anywhere -- before 1950. That is when it was initially launched.
*Sigh*
I know... I know... I shouldn't feed the trolls, but I just can't help it, I'm bored outta my skull.
Here are but a few examples from a relatively historical document: The Bible
Genesis 37:9 - And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me.
2 Kings 23:5 - And he put down the idolatrous priests, whom the kings of Judah had ordained to burn incense in the high places in the cities of Judah, and in the places round about Jerusalem; them also that burned incense unto Baal, to the sun, and to the moon, and to the planets, and to all the host of heaven.
Isaiah 30:26 - Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that the LORD bindeth up the breach of his people, and healeth the stroke of their wound.
That's just 3 references... per my lookin around, there's 62 references to the moon in both new and old testaments.
But why? Why would I waste my time looking up something as stupid as this? Because I've been at work for 6 1/2 hours and have taken two calls. I'm friggin bored. And I need a smoke...
I charge $40/hour to people in towns within 15 miles of where I live. I charge $50/hour (drive time included) to people within 30 miles. I have about a dozen clients and a couple of them call me once a month for little things to fix here and there. I go to their homes to fix their PC's / networks and they are very appreciative of the service. And depending on when they call, the turn around time to me being onsite can be as little as an hour. It's more than tech support really, it's consulting. I talk to them about what is avilable, what they want to do and the best way to do it. Plus they always give me their old PC's... so the $$$ plus the PC's isn't shabby for working on my days off.
You decide to move back to the US, with your $2k in savings and... live in a cardboard box, with frequent bathroom trips to the sewer grate on the corner, and the food at the soup kitchen.
Shouldn't you include something about living in a van down by the river?
