of'course... let's send a gps signal towards all the cars that are in the perimeter of a half mile and tell them all they can only drive 10miles / hour... i'll get on time at work:)
Soon, buy genetically modified food? depends what kind of food, if unhealthy - no
Go to whatever doctor we please? Why not? I got like 2 to 3 doctors i go to most of the time
Keep a majorty of what we earn? Excluding TAXES and stuff - yes - though got a point here
Own a gun? As long it is not a fully automatic or anything that looks like a flamethrower or bazooka (in your trunk) - then they do not have a prob, the only thing you need is a license
Ride on a non-car transport.... We here in Belgium have in the flemish part NMBS (trains) and De Lijn (busses) - what are not ownership of the gov't.
many other things kinda difficult to answer this one of'course:)
Take a medicine whenever the gov't health... We can take whatever we want - though - medicines are under strong regulations so they cannot serve rat poison instead of a pain reliever (it could have the same effect but kinda permanently)
We do get money back of every visit to a doctor or any medicines we buy - most of the times even 60% or more...
We can get sick and still be covered with anything more - you are required to be in a "social" sick-funding system, what is almost free..
Indeed - we NEED to vote here in Belgium for the ministery... what is kinda a bummer...
Still... it is not that bad here... The only things i like better in the US is the non-requirement of the identity card (though you need to know your SSN), and certain things like the differences... the look, the people... and.. the language.. since i like the US more i would rather "vote" for the US than for Belgium - though still.. that's rather personal than a problem created by Belgium... And of'course - like everywhere - every country... the gov't has a deep pit to fill with money...
What is going to be next ?... since... to my opinion... Jurrassic Park is coming very close to reality now...
Maybe next time we will see a lot of people eaten alive by some "velo" in the middle of New York...
Probably the scientists will answer with something like... "oops, bad clone, lets kill it and lets TRY IT AGAIN to do it better"...
Sadly enough... does the world ever learns some things could be bad to handle ? or immoral to handle? like the accelerator... cloning... of'course... curiousity... but when will it happen that a very big problem will be coming our way... like half the earth destroyed because a species or a plant we have cloned that overcomes us ?... "oops sorry, that was not calculated"....
It is actually in one or another way already active on Filmnet here in Europe. Filmnet has 5 levels of locking on their digital decoders. Still i find it a good idea to let your children look to the channels they should watch to. There is always a endless debate who should let the children know where they should watch to but, go imagine yourself... where you not curious as a child when you where 14 ? I was that curious, regardless my parents who were explaining me a lot - that i just still wanted to play with that TV box and remote... i still wanted to play with electricity... until a big bang came from the circuit brakers but anyway - thats not the issue here...
Children are curious.. some more than others... even as parent you could sometimes not kill the curiousity of a child.. even better - as a parent you should NEVER kill the curiousity of a child, since it makes you what you are.
Still there are maybe things where a child is not ready for, like pure porn on television. For this there is a solution now on Television niveau, not on the decoder but the television.
I do not have children, so i leave the lock level at 0 but, imagine... if i had children i would put it on 3... why ? coz - i know... it will ever happen... and i would not be the one continuesly pointing out that he/she may not do it... since i believe in it that a child MAY be curious... as long it is in the limits...
A little bit open-minded thinking would really give issues in this world. They are not banning you know, they are improving some lock level that could be used to protect your children from certain content.
Using the frog as a spokesman, i dunno... i am not agreeing with that... it is like "fake advertising"... or trying to make stuff stronger than it already is... i do not believe in that stuff, but you have any idea how much parents are going to believe in that ?
The v-chip is not made as a BAN, it is made as a additional protection, so why should you bother? they do not take away things from you!
The V-chip is being controlled by the parents, not by the manufacturers or the channels. OF'course - a endless discussion can be created about the content being put under different levels, thats work for critics, some are really critic and some are like easy over content. Still, it is the choice of the parents what lock-level is being used.
maybe... they should use those levels or ratings in another way.
Blood and gore - rating 1,
splattering brains and blood - rating 2,
soft porn - rating 3,
hard porn - rating 4;
since then... parents can really decide what should be content for their children or not.
As long you try to think that this is NOT an invasion of privacy but a tool that can be used.. both right.. and wrong... it depends in whos hands it is...
If this would happen, in what condition whatsoever, everybody could just change their ports and call it something else than E-mail... leave port 25 open for "normal and taxed email" and a new port like 29 or something could be used for "messaging"... The day they are going to put "messaging" on the tax bill it can again be changed to something else.
Well, tax could be a good thing against spammers:) let's see... the internic database is like 250.000 participants for the.net or.org domain ?... 250.000 * $... they will learn not to spam just anybody anymore:))
I guess the only solution to stop "cybersquatting" or however you call "rip-offs selling domain names" is that Internic puts a limit on unpaid domains.
If not paid within the month the domain goes open again.
I already had about 30 spammails for people wanting darkblood and the xsrv domain serie... they are paid and they are mine.. unless somebody pays a million for it:) ok... though still those brokers SHOULD buy them all then instead of like reserving those domains never using them.
An example has occured to me several months ago, our company's domainname was "taken" for a joke... it is now already a half year later and it is still standing there - open - UNPAID !...
As long Internic does their business like that the domains will be rip-offs... even 70 bucks is too much for a domain name... what would 200k be..
I made a lot of sites, one of the thing i do for our company is sitedesign next to the technical stuff, like my site is made completely with Paintshop Pro 5 and Editplus.
I could use Photoshop, but since i see almost all functions similar with Paintshop - i find the smallest program (PSP5) the best.
Editplus, Editpad and Notepad are nice, though i like Editplus better since the macrolanguage built in and the autocompletion. Once you are used to that it is a great value in webdesign.
A brain and a good sense/feeling is needed as well to design websites.
The only prob i currently have is that i am a little bit off standards coz of the coding by myself. This will be fixed by me very soon, and could be done using Netscape editor (load the file, save, and it will change whatever needed), or load in a html editor like dreamweaver.
If you want to do it the hard way, take it through a html validator and change whatever needed (is what i am going to do)
Non commercial websites made by PSP and Editplus, do not complain about compatibility since it is worked on, as well, those sites work in ALL browsers. OS/2 netscape, netscape X, MSIE, lynx,...
After i went away from the Office, i called a cab. The driver, named Bill, asked me Where do you want to go today? As i am a Explorer i just told in a single and strong Word home, while opening both Windows to get some fresh air in.
Look ma, they are going to sue me for 6 words !! *guess bill is trademarked too by now -shrug-*
