I know that many of you probably dislike them, but they are at the for-front of the anti-UN. They would most likely help us in this matter, I guess a few of us would just have to hold their nose. Remember, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
I really don't see how you celebrate the creation of the first virus. It's like saying "Woo hoo, my PC has been fried, and I lost my long-worked on school report." It should be remembered, not celebrated, I guess their are some sado-masochistic PC owners who enjoy their PC getting damaged, and their work lost.
This is going to make it much harder to port games from one system to another, which is possibly the reason why Microsoft is doing it. Since they'll have to develop the code to use Microsoft's unique system architecture/ I bet Slashdotters just/LOOVE/ Microsoft and proprietary systems. Let's give them one big sarcastic clap.:P *clap* *clap*
People seem to find touch-pad voting machines suspect because they don't leave a paper trail, and it's too easy to hack, etc. Well, wouldn't internet voting be even worse as it A. Doesn't leave a paper trail,and B. Probably the most easily hacked voting method. Plus, this possibly allows the uninformed, lazy voter, deciding who they want for office. We could easily end up with a total uneducated scum bag in office just because Al Bundy internet voted for him.
I believe that generally blacklisting still works, heck I'm filtering out all emails from Russia, and Hong Kong, places I know that I won't get email that I care about. If properly enacted, blacklisting is a great idea, we can't just declare it a bad idea since Verio implimented it wrong. I bet other places we haven't heard of are having wonderful success with blacklistings.
It is very similar to Blade Runner, in that it gets us to question, if robots/artifical intelligence, can think, feel, and sense things, are they any less human than we are? The original Ghost in the Shell made us think, while at the same time entertaining us. Very few movies do this. I personally hope that this is just as great as the original, I expect it to be.
It makes perfect sense to block off the trojan infected PCs that are sending SPAM. But I don't believe it is fair not to notify the user of said infected PC. Some of these people may have friends who have Telia email accounts, and if they're being blocked, it means they can't receive mail from them. So, while I agree with Telia's decision, they should give the courtous of notifying the individuals first.
I'm hoping that this new development will force Intel's hand on this issue. Though, while I A. Don't use Linux at the moment, and B. don't use an Intel processor. I think that forcing Intel, and other companies, to make Linux compatable drivers is a good thing.
Because they'll be about the same size that the prison cells that you'll soon occupy after we track you down and prosecute you to the fullest extent of the law. It would be ironic if they served SPAM for dinner.:P
blah blah blah The Republicans stole the election blah blah blah. Funny, it's only partisan Democrats who say this, while others still question Diebold's lack of a paper trail, don't come to such a fanatical conclusion. Their has been no proof, or even suggestion by the voters, of such massive voter fraud.
I've heard that they have been discontinued since the 1960s. But in my opinion they were the most fullproof, most economical things around. They were easy to use, and tamper proof because you needed keys, and a good know how into how to set the things. So, I say, start producing the old lever machines, make them the nation wide standard.

Too much coffee this morning?:P
It's no shock since this message is data that I'm generating, my dentist appointment generates data, my email generates data, etc.
I just love OpenOffice!:) I use it everyday, though I question the usefulness of the PDF feature.
Wasn't this talked about, like a few years ago or something? I swear I remember an article here, and on ZDnet about this a while ago.

Oh, and they're simple use, I've been using one all my life, so far.
