I don't recall ever saying that Republicans are for small government, as the exact opposite is true. Republicans are for huge government that is just a tiny bit smaller than the one Democrats', so as to sound appealing to the people who are fed up with government growth. But if the federal budget grows by 13.9 percent instead of 14.4 percent, then that is still growing government.
Exactly! If the big government does not have the ability to hear what individuals have to say, then that government should not have power over those individuals. Isn't that why we fought the British, after all?
When a government doesn't have time to listen to the people it's supposed to govern, you know that it's grown too large. Solution: More power to local governments, less power to governments that are so far removed that we cannot reach them.
Or have we forgotten the lesson we learned from being a colony of Britain?
Well, that particular way of phrasing of it came from my love for Mother Earth, the Sun, and the Universe that we live in. (I am not pagan, as I don't subscribe to a religion, but I guess I look in a similar direction. And no, I don't believe to any political parties either.)
But when you think about it, aside from nuclear power that you mentioned, all of our energy comes from the Sun. Just about every creature requires the Sun's warmth. Plants feed directly on the Sun's energy. Animals, whether sheep, beetles, or humans, feed those plants -- or other animals that have eaten those plants all their life. Even the totally civilized, almost manufactured animals that we raise at meat factories by the million rely on the Sun's energy to live.
This is as far as I'll go in tracing it... You can fill in what I left out, but I think I've given the general idea behind my statement.
Deja vu?

Once the cube has given out a series of 8 NOTIFY packets, it begins to aggressively search for other GameCubes on the network by sending out standard UPNP M-SEARCH packets (also on port 1900 with a TTL value of 1).
As soon as I publish my findings, the specification of the protocol Nintendo is using, and a few suggestions about what needs to be done to bridge two LANs together (a simple tunnel will not do), I will be aggressively recruiting developers.

The Warp Pipe Project is aggressively seeking out developers who would be interested in this project through its SourceForge project page."
Changes by the FCC on June 2, 2003, to U.S. media ownership restrictions could result in a series of mergers that may impact television, radio, cable, newspapers and the Internet.
What's this? People with more money have more influence? Welcome to society and civilization!
Your options are to fight injustice however you or to give in and pay the price. There is also a third option of getting away from civilization, but the continuously decreasing availability of land that isn't very populated is making this choice more difficult.
All of these options require your time and energy; If you don't have any principles, sometimes it is easier to give in, pay the price, and move on. However, as someone else pointed out, every time someone gives in, it creates more incentive for those with more power to pressure others.
AirTrafis a 100% passive packet sniffing tool for the wireless 802.11b networks. It captures and tracks all wireless activity in the coverage area, decodes packets, and maintains acquired information associated by access points, as well as detected individual wireless nodes. It dynamically detects any access points in the area, finds association between wireless clients and access points, and builds information table for each packet that is transmitted via the air. AirTraf is able to maintain packet count, byte information, related bandwidth, as well as signal strength of nodes.

Dear Zope 3 developers,
Last night at OSCON I announced that I am moving to California. I have accepted a new job at Elemental Security, a security software startup in San Mateo. You may have heard of one of the founders, Dan Farmer, who is the (co-)author of several well-known free security checking programs: Satan, Titan and The Coroner's Toolkit.
Elemental is a brand new company, and I can't say much yet about the product, except that it will be aimed at enterprise security and use Python. I'm very excited about working with Dan on its design and implementation.
I'm also excited about moving to California, which has long been a dream of mine. I'm looking forward to getting together with the many local Python users and developers once I'm settled; right now, my life and that if my family is total chaos because we're trying to find a home and move into it by August 1st.
I will still have time for Python (it's in my contract) and I will continue to lead Python's development. The other PythonLabs folks: Fred Drake, Jeremy Hylton, Barry Warsaw and Tim Peters, are staying at Zope, by the way.
But unfortunately, this move pretty much ends my involvement in Zope 3. I've signed a contributors agreement, but with the new job and my Python work I don't expect to have much time for Zope. So this is also a goodbye, of sorts. I've enjoyed working with many of you, Zope 3 developers, and I expect we'll run into each other at some future Python event.
In the mean time, I'm here at OSCON with a busy schedule and limited access to my email, and the following weeks I will be in transition, so please be kind if I don't reply immediate when you write me.

The telephone monopoly, however, has been anything but natural. Overlooked in the textbooks is the extent to which federal and state governmental actions throughout this century helped build the AT&T or "Bell system" monopoly. As Robert Crandall (1991: 41) noted, "Despite the popular belief that the telephone network is a natural monopoly, the AT&T monopoly survived until the 1980s not because of its naturalness but because of overt government policy."

A free society gives everyone the freedom to equal opportunities. Every individual has the right to earn Internet access.
Socialism, on the other hand, tries to make everyone equal. Money will be taken out of your paycheck to pay for every individual's Internet access.
Here's a relevant link to Google.
A quote from Unnatural Monopoly: Critical Moments in the Development of the Bell System Monopoly:
The telephone monopoly, however, has been anything but natural. Overlooked in the textbooks is the extent to which federal and state governmental actions throughout this century helped build the AT&T or "Bell system" monopoly. As Robert Crandall (1991: 41) noted, "Despite the popular belief that the telephone network is a natural monopoly, the AT&T monopoly survived until the 1980s not because of its naturalness but because of overt government policy."
This isn't a sweepstakes -- it's a contest.
