I don't care if some sort of international organization takes the reigns, but I don't like the U.N. Really, a trade or technology group would be better suited than a political one.
An intelligent person wouldn't accidently do this, but I don't know the people you are sending cards to (no offense intended). If someone plays with disk utilities while using knoppix, they can wipe their hard drive. I think NTFS files systems are ok, but FAT32 could get messed up.
I hear the treaty was too strict and costly to implement. I would rather work on pollution gradually and by ourselves then sign a world treaty that would hurt our economy.
Let me rephrase that... It didn't make much sense... lol. In 2000, a lot of people demanded a "simple" way to vote that wouldn't confuse people. That's why they developed these crappy e-voting systems. There wasn't enough time to make them and test them thoroughly though.
Also, I really doubt that the lack of a paper trail was used to cheat. They probably made them without a paper trail on purpose. The states don't want to waste all kinds of time doing a recount where they look at each ballot and try to determine the "intent" of the voter. That's what I meant when I said that the whole "hanging chads" thing brought this on. People complained so much about little things like that, that they states probably just said, "Screw it. This won't be a problem anymore if there's no paper trail."
I still can't believe how many people think that the election was rigged. There's a more reasonable explanation... We gave contracts to idiot companies whose software was crap. From what I've heard about the programming on some of these voting machines, we would have been better off using Cyrix 6x86-based PCs running Windows ME and using AOL to email the votes to their destination.
Schools teach that life began in some chemical mix, billions of years ago, but that isn't rooted in fact either. We have good evidence that species change over time. We also have some evidence that these changes have resulted in the variety of species that populate the planet. What we don't have, is definitive evidence how the first lifeform came to be. Natural selection leading to the evolution of a species is all but proven, but the original of all life in general isn't. I think, in this particular area, all theories are fair game. Although, schools shouldn't waste too much time talking about theories that can't be provden for the time being.
I was taught mostly evolution in a Lutheran highschool. Creation was just briefly mentioned. The creation that most Christians (that I know anyway) believe is that evolution is generally true, but that God influenced the changes that happend.
It seems like an aweful lot of people on here have a really low view of creationists. Many people are assuming that all Christian creationists believe that God created the world in 7 days, 10000 years ago. That's just as ignorant and uninformed as saying that all geeks are fat or all black Americans eat fried chicken. Almost all mainsteam Christian groups believe that the whole "7 days" thing is a metaphor. Only a small percentage of people take it to be literal.

Is there a website with information on how I can do this myself? Due the the legalities, I wouldn't exploit this, I just want to see it in action for a few minutes. I have high voltage power lines running through my backyard, so I have easy access.

Hell, I STILL know people using Intel boards with integrated video using 512kb of memory.
The seeder is really the person effectively responsible for the file sharing.
The password has to be 8 characters, letter and number combo, not in the dictionary, and no repeating patterns. On the plus side, it doesn't expire.

We would still have paper trails if people weren't so busy crying about "hanging chads" in 2000.
