The article didn't talk about the FCC doing anything with the data other than warehousing so I am not sure. If the FCC went over the data for accuracy and inclusiveness then you have a very good point. If not, then I guess there is still a source for the data though I doubt it is as easy as it was getting it directly from the FCC. It might be more timely though.
The FCC is not prohibiting the dissemination of this information, they are not going to provide it themselves, though.
The fcc did not go so far as to prohibit all network vulnerability data from reaching the public--only that the information won't reach the public via the FCC.
Telco's are still free to provide the information and apparently they have competitive reasons to do so:
Lawyers who negotiate contracts for large enterprises agreed carriers that face meaningful competition will not be inclined to stop providing relevant data, including the cause of outages, to enterprises. Some said that even where competition is not robust, carriers have an interest in being candid with their largest customers.
Well, since we are, for the most part, Linux proponents, here is a link to the most recent article I can find on PDA's with Linux. Linux PDAs Quick Reference Guide
Well then that must be the majority. I can't find a poll that doesn't show Bush ahead. The Gallup Poll, for example, shows Bush ahead of Kerry 52 ro 48. Google the rest.
Maybe the chances of something like this working would be greater if the argument/proposal could be taken directly to the artists. I have no idea how much the artists are aligned with the RIAA when it comes to suing people. I suspect that the artists would be more disinclined to want to sure their fans. The RIAA exists to serve the artists but I wonder if the artists see it that way. How could the artists deal with this directly? Can they do anything without the RIAA's blessings?
It would make sense for Microsoft to make an anti-spyware product, after all, they should (but may not) know the most about how to protect Windows from spyware. I would also think that given the sheer amount of brainpower that they could apply to the task that they would put forth a good product. But, they have not been known as innovaters in the application world (I know, some would say in the OS world as well). Anyway, I wonder how the other folks who make and sell (or give away) anti-spyware software will react to the 800lb gorilla's entrance into their domain?
So what if you are a meteorologist? Offer something substantative. What part of density of the atmosphere did you not get? What percentage of the overall atmosphere do the models account for? How many intervening and contravening variables are not accounted for?
I don't know if human-induced global warming is a problem or not, but, there are points of view out there, from highly respected scientists, that argue that it is not a problem. Here is one such article. Having a life-long interest in weather, I've tried to read both sides and both sides make compelling arguments. To the extent that we don't shoot ourselves in the foot economically and otherwise, it is probably a good idea to err on the side of believing that human-induced global warming is a problem. However, I don't see anything productive in blaming Bush or any previous president, republican or democrat for global warming. It is a hellish complicated problem and the ramifications for choosing either side are not small.
Even the most complicated computer models for weather systems can only approach less than 5% of the actual variability and density of the atmosphere. Consider that most forecasts are less than 50% accurate at 48hrs+. I am not dismissing the research, far from it, I just don't think the models are there yet.
Wow! Haven't heard or seen something like that since working at St. E's in D.C. on the psych unit where I learned, first hand, what "flight of thought" meant and how schizophrenics flow it so naturally. Thanks for the memory!
Companies do everything they can do to minimize their taxes. P.R. folks can make any corporate behavior sound like God would have done no differently. Corporate executives like Balmer can come to believe that every thought they have is pure visionary genius and should be shared (i.e. education spending). People will learn these things and become indignant and outraged. Nothing, however, tends to change.
Sometimes I feel like the Right to Privacy groups infringe on my right to enjoy and take advantage of some truly incredible technology. If we can put together an intellingent roadway system that saves most of the 42,000 deaths a year, I am all for it. I am not trying to flame the discussion and I truly do understand the issues at hand. However, some of this technology is pretty good and we should consider, thoughtfully, the advantages before stomping the life out of it.
The scientists who monitor the volcano seem to feel that an eruption is fairly likely:.
All Things Considered, September 30, 2004. Researchers upgrade the chance of a mild to moderate volcanic eruption of Mount St. Helens to 70 percent -- possibly within the next few days.
. . . and . ..
Day to Day, September 30, 2004 Scientists in Washington state are predicting an eruption of the Mount St. Helens volcano in the next few days. NPR's Noah Adams talks with Dan Dzurisin of the U.S. Geologic Survey about the activity brewing under the surface of the already-shattered mountain, which was the scene of a massive surprise eruption in 1980.
. . . and . ..
ASSOCIATED PRESS On Wednesday, U.S.G.S. scientists warned that a small or moderate blast from the southwest Washington mountain could spew ash and rock as far as 3 miles from the 8,364-foot peak.
I live on the east coast so I can only go by reports from the scientists that are out on the west coast. I don't think that folks should get alarmed to the point that they become shrill or panic-stricken. However, it does seem reasonably likely that there will be some sort of eruption though all of the scientists, so far, say nothing near the 1980 eruption.
I do greatly enjoy graphic novels that combine comic book-like panes and text into a novel length book. Harvey Pekar is my favorite practitioner of this art. For me, an interactive novel is one step beyond what I am comfortable reading. However, I am 46 and maybe those a bit younger will have an easier time trying something like this.
1. Absence of any form of political authority.
2. Political disorder and confusion.
3. Absence of any cohesive principle, such as a common standard or purpose.
Just what I need, a bunch of amateurs trying to ensure that my life and future has more disorder, confusion, and lack of purpose....
Judge Fogel's ruling demonstrates that the legal system, in this case, works just fine.
This really has nothing to do with Homeland Security though some folks sure do go to great lengths to try to make these connections no matter how specious the arguments they have to put forth.
It's not the quality that is at issue, it's the evolution of delivery. Napster is doing okay for the most part though iTunes and Real and others are doing better. Just more proof that "media less" is the future.
Remember when your grandmother owned a VHS player and wasn't interested in a new fangled DVD player? The early-adopters pave the way and interest level for the rest of the population. Getting away from physical media for movies is a natural evolution of the industry. I will admit though, that a lot of folks will be dragged, kicking and screaming, into this particlular "future."

Well, it makes scents to me. sniff.

How nice of you to use your mother in such an example . . . she must be very proud of you.
In support of this mission, the RIAA works to protect intellectual property rights worldwide and the First Amendment rights of artists
I do agree with your post in general, however.

Did you skip allof your high school and college language courses?
The change machines in my area that take $20 bills give back $1 coins and usually four to twenty quarters depending on how the machine is set.
