My daughter is 11. I installed Edubuntu on the "pony" she got for Christmas, her first computer. She loves it, Edubuntu has plenty edutainment software for her to play with. I highly recommend Edubuntu for children and educators.
Attributing this to incompetence is overly generous. Obviously a case of fraud. I'm generally against the death penalty, but our political system has killed millions this decade...
think the best method would be to set up a consortium of major technology corporations to create the voting machines
Replace corporation with Universities
Before anyone starts foaming at the mouth about big companies I say this. They already run your health system, your financial institutions, your currency, transportation systems, and your food supply.
health system - broken
financial institutions - how much money did the corrupt bastards lose this week?
transportation systems - destroying the planet
currency - run by government (see financial institutions above)
food supply - what percentage of the US population is obese?
My former congressman Vern Ehlers (one of the less bad repulicants):
After three years of studying at Calvin College in Grand Rapids, Ehlers transferred and received his undergraduate degree in physics and his Ph.D. in nuclear physics from the University of California at Berkeley in 1960. After six years teaching and research at Berkeley, he moved back to Grand Rapids to Calvin College in 1966 where he taught physics for 16 years and later served as chairman of the Physics Department.
He serves on the Science and Technology Committee. One of his greater achievements is not related to science/technology: He's the guy who got FRENCH fries back on the menu.
I,____________, pledge to the taxpayers of the _____ district of the State of _________ and to the American People that I will:
ONE, oppose any and all efforts to increase the marginal income tax rates for individuals and/or businesses; and
TWO, oppose any net reduction or elimination of deductions and credits, unless matched dollar for dollar by further reducing tax rates.
Lessig's pledge gives movement progressives sensible glue to hold the movement together. I have always felt that Norquist's pledge made one unfit for public office. Lessig's pledge is about how one will campaign and spend money. Norquist's is about how one will bankrupt the Republic.
What government has been doing lately is protecting assets. So another metric is:
(Cost of Government in $$$)/(Amount of assets in $$$) = fair tax per asset in $$$.
If I have no property, I have nothing but my life to protect.
Using your metric, a 100% estate tax is fair since you're taxing citizenship. Once I'm dead, I have no life to protect.
Go read the Repub comments. When I saw that the Repubs had 3/2 more comments than the Dems, I knew it had to be the Paulbots. CmdrTaco called for "Huckabee, McCain, and Romney only" comments. A troll if I've ever seen one.
grep -c "Ron Paul" article.pl.htm
658
grep -c "Score:" article.pl.htm
816
Out of 816 comments, there were 658 instances of "Ron Paul".
I think Florida is a rorschach test. My first instinct was to dislike Hillary for her stunt in Florida. Upon reflection, I now see that she plays to win. This is not a popularity test. This is about kicking ass and taking names.
At this point it's not about stopping existing malware, it's about getting the Russian government's attention.
When Putin's mistress can't buy her bling on ebay. She won't be happy. When Putin's mistress isn't happy, nobody's happy.
Multiply this by 10,000,000.
The Ass Hats running our government have it backward. We're supposed to be able to read their communications, and they aren't supposed to be able to read ours.
You can use msmtp to relay, and fetchmail to download, your messages from a remote server; or you can set up your own mail service if your ISP allows it. Consider using procmail to sort incoming messages.
If you take the first alternative, you are simply running a mail client. The mail headers will no different than if you were sitting at your desk at home composing the email and using your favorite mail service.
These pinheads have no understanding of blowback. This will cause the small amount of communications being encrypted in the past to become the majority of communications being encrypted in the future. Yesterday they could look at the profile on a user and encrypted email might set off alarms. Next year every user will encrypt all email, they may try to prevent this domestically, but the international community will lead the way to 100% strong encryption on email seamlessly integrated into the client.
On a sunny day, the sun could provide all the power necessary with perhaps a capacitor to serve as a battery in case of a cloud. Pictures wouldn't be sent home as the RF would cause a security risk (as well as a power drain). How much does a micro SD card weigh? Micro SD is the packaged consumer version. The spooks would make something lighter that includes a low power version of the chip but not the packaging in the consumer version.
Something this small and light would be subject to the vagaries of the wind. D.C. would be the perfect place for the Feds to fly this. You would need access to a wide swath of real estate because the landing position couldn't be controlled with any precision.
You left one out:
The ability to sell an iPhone 2 to the early adopters. How many of the folks who waited in line for hours/days to get an iPhone will hesitate to to drop another $500 once the open iPhone 2 comes out?
There is no way Apple can keep this closed forever. When there are dozens of open smart phones to choose from Apple will have no choice but to compete. History will be the judge if early being to market was worth the pissed off customers who have a $500 POS in a year.

At Steelcase largest maker of those cubicle systems, even the CEO is in a cubicle.
Make that the USA has biggest prison population on the planet period. Larger than China, larger than India.
t's like they're trying to make the machines as unreliable and untrustworthy as possible
Oh, I think they've made them completely reliable. In a way that humans never can be.

Regional ISPs. This is not a consumer product. Running ethernet on the backbone allows a homogeneous stack on all hosts from end to end.
Nope. I just checked, no skynet tag on this story.

I think you belong on the other forum. I know big tent etc.
The USA spends more in both absolute/per person ($5,711) and percent of GDP (15.2) on health care than any other country. Yet if you look at the outcomes mortality amenable to health care (110/100,000) we're near the bottom. We can't have a system as nice as France's because I don't give $100,000,000 annually political whores.
I think Florida is a rorschach test. My first instinct was to dislike Hillary for her stunt in Florida. Upon reflection, I now see that she plays to win. This is not a popularity test. This is about kicking ass and taking names.
Your wages are already garnished to pay health insurance, it's just that you are not a beneficiary. 46% of US health care expenditures are made with public funds. If we go with the Obama plan it will cost $102,000,000 and cover 23,000,000 people. Clinton plan costs $124,000,000 and covers 45,000,000 people. Or $4,400 vs. $2,700 per person.

...all 14,000 accounts belonged to members of the US government's executive branch.

This can become a slashdot poll. Once the results are in, we'll know the real reason.
