    that's odd... linux came with it in the install kernel :)

    thanks for the info (i'm not into politics much)
    perhaps evoting would make it easier for them to vote?... he knows about absentee ballots (i heard him talk to my aunt about it)

    actually, he's real bright, but i think he's just too far into the republican thing...

    my dad, who is a devout republican, says that it will make it possible for the troops in iraq to vote, and the democrats are only against it because it will help bush.
    ugh... i tried to tell him that it is a flawed system, but he just said that they have no other options. of course there are other better machines to use, and possibly mailing the votes as well...
    this may be one of the mindsets for insec^H^H^H^H^H electronic voting

    "often have more differentiated views"
    so their views are just derivatives of other peoples' views?

  7. Re:Welcome to Trusted Computing. on Intel Begins Shipping 64-bit Prescotts · · Score: 1

    hmmm... we should start a thing to alert people of the dangers of "trusted computing". i'm sure Microsoft is going to market it as "no viruses", and people will be happy (they don't know the full story). i can't wait to see how long it takes to hack (kernel/hardware hacking, the real hacking).
    does apple have one of these? (i hope not...)
    apple seems like one way to go. i don't see sgi or via on the list either... and then there's all the current hardware that has none of this "trusted computing" junk, so we're good for quite some time.
    but it's still frigthening...

  11. Re:How on Time Warp Computer Pricing Revealed · · Score: 1

    i doubt the cent has a significant effect on tax. in the us, we do sales tax proportionally (5.6% where i live), and i am fairly certain that it's just a cheap marketing trick.
