I have used everything from old Fredwriter on the Apple II, to Word Perfect to OpenOffice, to various versions of MS Office on both Mac and PC and no matter what I do....the letter STILL prints out with black ink on white paper. No matter the Gee Wiz golly gosh GUI, it still boils down to that.
I have never read the book (I would like tom but it seems to no longer be in print), but I do have a video of a interview with him. Not the best quality but it does bring out a lot of who he was... if you see this and are interested, contact me.
Richard Feynmann was a warm generous, kind and briliant man> I met him once and that was my memory. He was a prankster yes, and the usual butt of his jokes was Los Alamos Security. Personally I think all the half baked slander claims against him can be summed up in one statement: He went to Sweden and shook hands. they did not.
It has already happened in nature. Look at the sickle cell snemia gene in Negros resulting from the natural selection caused from a African maleria epedemic (gene that fights maleria, also relates to sickle cell). Or, look at that wonderful European experience with yersinia pestis: I have read decendents of Black Death survivors have some immunity to AIDS. There are many examples. All of us today have whatever gene allowed us to survive the 1918 Spanish Flu epidemic.
Indeed yes; a more efficient Police is needed to support a more efficient Police State. Ease of access of your data (and if your data is in there OF COURSE you are a criminal that needs data kept on them) is essential. Perhaps all police personnel files should be shared with Wal*Mart while we are at it. the discount on uniform purchase (sale on Jack Boots for example) would certainly offset any security concern of sharing home addresses with minimum wage earning clerks with possible previous criminal records... You see? unforseen consequences ALWAYS happen
After reading my mail I tend to immediately delete it. Seems to work for me. Usually I use elm but occasionally I will get wild and use a more exotic client like Pine.
Someone once said that all better ID control ever does is raise the costs for fake papers.. When I was young I worked a cattle ranch. Back then we had a handy gizmo for tagging the ears of cattle; White tags for cows, blue for steers, yellow for hefers. It made culling for slaughter so much easier. Nice to see this tech put to the next logical step.

SO...let me get this straight: A DRM ladened, only viewable in a single app High Def version of a low def recorded show like Dr Who can be downloaded and only played on my computer screen? WOW! I am so delighted!
Well thank goodness! and here I was worried that the cost of fake paper was going to climb out of the range of the petty crook. I want to thank the developers and the bone heads in government for insuring the future of honest crooks.
If you consider what a NEW development in the real history of man Writing is, Memorization was not just a good idea, it was all we had! if you look close at the great works of various tribes of man that come from before writing: Homer's Iliad and Odyssey, the poetic Edda, early portions of the Sutras, etc. And if you look at later works such as the Janist Canon and the Koran; Rhyme scheme was the technique used to insure the passage of a piece of information unchanged down through the generations. The Skald, Bard, Dine` Singer, and other such were more then just respected within the tribe. THEY WERE THE TRIBE or, all of the tribe that was not present around the camp fire that cold neolithic evening when real evil lurked beyond the fire light. Tales of your grandfathers or in some cases, tales that remained unchanged down through ages were all we had. Given the predilection of most hunan cultures to gather in data then burn it to the ground: Alexandria, the Niniveh library of Asur Bani Pal, and countless other examples, memory may be all we have in the future. Get your exercise folks
I just wonder. were jack boots aproved in this bill or just addded on as a rider. All a improved required ID system ever creates is a higher price for fake paper. And all this does is validate the jobs of pencil pushers, thugs and politicans. It worked in the 1930s, and it will work today. Logic of Empire demands this.
Someone said something about the Tree of Liberty and the blood of patriots and tyrants once...
It must have worked fine: My address and other data was not on any burglarized laptop, hacked by Bulgarian ID thieves, left on a table at Starbucks or otherwise treated with all the due diligence our academic institutions are known for...
There is only one possible way to protect yourselves these days: Lie. If someone needs your info, or SAYS they need your info ("I am sorry sir but our regulations clearly state you must fill out this form") then lie, fib, tell an untruth! For years I have always typoed a number or two on my SSN on forms, mis-spelled my name, screwed up the address, etc. I never commit outright fraud, but I DO use tecnhiques that will screw up their database. If more of us just smiled shrugged and said "oh well" to these data leeches in this simple manner, the problem would go away due to the general unreliability of the database,
When Microsoft got started, two guys wiht a Basic were pedalling wears to hobbyists. Two other guys ina guarage we building a computer to runt h 1st two guys basic. None of these guys had an R&D budget. Today, Microsotft like most companies, feel that a huge R&D budget will inovate them out of their self dug hole. Look how well PARC servered Xerox after all....
--this project is about politicians having access to some publicity. It is very similar tot he Toy Drives: "Bring your new, unopened toys to..." I worked a church charity that collected used toys, fixed and cleaned then distributed to POOR people. The kids were very happy. We did not provide extra room for photo-ops for bureaucrats, nor a form for tax deductions so I guess it was not a real charity. For many years I have fixed up Junker comps I get from co-workers, buy cheap at Goodwill and the like, slap 98SE, or an old WIN2K install on it, a browser and a email client and GIVE the thing to folks I know who could use it. poor folks. Again. kids get a happy look (put a collection of old EGA games like Commander Keen, or Major Stryker on them and you are now their absolute hero!:) I have heard that 90% of the eco waste from Hi-tech ends up in the 3rd world. You want to ADD to that? Why not refurb and reuse?
Fast food, apparel, cars, music.. regardless of the product; Build a good product, people buy the product.
Build a bad product and, no matter how you cripple your product, no matter how many Weasels in Suits(tm) you hire to sue the consumers of your product, no matter how much you spend in popular media to use the Goebbels Big Lie technique for re-defining words like "steal" to then morally brow beat people into buying your product, the bottom line is still: you built a bad product. People will not buy a bad product.
You mean I can't get up for a cup of coffee after putting the RV on cruise control? Honestly, the only truely safe vehicle for most americans is a "Bus"
Time for a short tale: Many many years back in a small town in New Mexico, a third party presidential candidate was showing up as part of a whistle stop campaign. If I mentioned Which candidate it would date me:) I was a young lad at the time and, though my father despised this candidate he, I, and most of the rest of the town went down to the train depot to see and hear. No other candidate was going to visit our hick town and other then watching the grass grow it was the only entertainment that day. The whole High School was let out for this occasion. As we waited in the sun (New Mexico is hot in the summer), two charter busses pull up marked "CBS" on a stick on label on the sides. Out of one steps a at the time well known "journalist", film crew, support people (including make-up, the fellow was sweating, poor dear), and caterers who proceeded to set up a lunch for the Bus people. Out of the other bus stepped about 25 ragged dressed people with signs.
The second group arranged themselves on the track near the townspeople who stood wondering "What in the world...?". Soon the train pulled in and the candidate walled out on the little platform on the back of the car and started to speak. The Charter bus cowed waved signs, shouted obscenities and screamed so loud he could not be heard. He ducked back into the train which immediately left town.
The crowd stood and shouted some more even after the train pulled out but with the cameras rolling. Then, properly primed and painted the reporter (who I happened to be standing near) starts describing to the camera the local riot when this candidate appeared. After his 5 minute over and over saying the same thing, all the news crew and their ready-made-riot all broke for lunch and gathered around the white tablecloths the caterers had set out.
Soon the whole lot of them packed up and headed down the highway following the train.
That was the day I lost all respect for any "news" I see on TV, and most I read. Internet has been a boon because common people may lie too, but not as well choreographed.
Actually there have been a few actual scholarly studies demonstrated by clear data governing purchase of equipment and an increase in citations. It is all about money One study I recall looked at voter approval/disapproval of bonds for such and again the relationship to citation rates. There is a clear and casual relationship: less money to the cops, more tickets.
One shuch study (in regard to Red light cameras) was even reported here. Oh and for the record: my remark was vaild and not a troll. -and I personally have never gotten a speeding ticket.
As I recall, "journalist" was the one job that ranked lower then "politican" in most polls in terms of respect. After an entire adult lifetime of reading their output, I can see why this is so. Common people reporting the news would probably raise the general character of the... "profession".
