''How fitting that Microsoft finds itself in this predicament.

''Mr. Schare of Microsoft does have one suggestion for those who cannot use the latest patches in Service Pack 2: buy a new personal computer. By the same reasoning, the security problems created by a car's broken door lock could be solved by buying an entirely new automobile. The analogy comes straight from Mr. Schare. "It's like buying a car," he said. "If you want to get the latest safety features, you have to buy the latest model."''
Better not put Windows on it. Say you bought a Ford Escort and it was a piece of junk would buying another Ford Escort solve your problem? Of course not! However, with with a computer such a drastic measure s aren't needed, one only needs to replace the OS and forgo the cost of new hardware.

Actually, I believe that Libertarians believe that the 16th Amendment wasn't ratified by a full ¾ of the states. If true then the income taxes would become null and void. Libertarians also believe that the wording of the Amendment is vague but I believe this has not held up in the supreme Court.
In our country, the representatives are elected by the general public. That makes our system a democratic republic, and therefore it can be considered to be a democracy.
Because of The Articles of Confederation Agreed to by Congress November 15, 1777; ratified and in force, March 1, 1781 makes our system of government is a Federated Republic with a Democratic system of checks and balances.
Not quite a Democratic Republic, not quite a Confederated Republic and not quite the Federation our founding fathers wanted.
Pilot here, and this has been a well known pecadillo of the tracking system for SoCal Approach for a few years. It's an application problem that came into being after an upgrade of the application, not the OS. It's a memory allocation error that retains some of the old tracking on the system, thus, the whole box needs to be rebooted every 45 days or the memory overloads and crashes the OS. Look guys, I'm a Linux user and all, but let's not run around blaming M$ for problems with buggy software apps.
Yea, right! Can't write a bug free app on a buggy OS. OS' are like roads if they are full of potholes then all the vehicles using them will have bad shocks and broken springs.
But, with all of the terrorist threats lately, bringing passport documents into the digital world is sure to increase security."
But who is going to secure the securer? Who is going to secure the originator of the documents and who is going secure the originators boss and the boss' boss? Who is going to write the encryption codes and secure that person and that persons boss and that persons boss?
Also, who is going to be accountable in event of a screw up? Should a digital documented contain a log starting with the originator of the document and listing all persons having access to that document? Should the owner of the document have access to any or all of the information to a digital document? In the USA is there a Constitutional Amendment concerning digital documents on the horizon?
The reason I always thought is each of 12 moons has a name like "Harvest Moon," "Hunter's Moon" and the like. But when a month occurs that contains 2 full moons, there is no name for this second moon and it was given the name, "Blue Moon." for lack of a name.

I used to read 12 to 20 books a year but now I'm down to about 2 in the same period. To help compensate I try to read less contemporary literature and more of the classics. The reasoning is the if it's 100 years old and is still published someone did something right.
1. Research, research, research. Read, ask questions, and look at systems that work.
2. Follow directions, my P41 Fire Dragon main board came with a 150 page manual and is very detailed.
3. Don't even think about forgetting about the anti-static protocols.
4. Get the right parts the first time around, I waited 3 weeks to get all my parts together.
5. Burn that bad boy in, run the machine 24/7 for 5 days after you have determined that it runs right. If there is any problem with the machine, such as over heating, return the offending part(s) for replacement or refund. To do otherwise may void any warranties.
'libertarian freaks, nuttily suspicious of centralized power'
I'm a registered Libertarian and I thought that being a libertarian meant that one believes that less government is better government. That the government runs in the way the Constitution, Bill of Rights, Articles of Confederation, and the Magna Carta meant if to run. Libertarians don't believe like the government of the State of Utah, that the separation of church and state is one city block.
