  5. Re:a Good Thing(tm) on Sen. McCain Introduces Bill to Ban Internet Taxes Forever · · Score: 2

    Ideally, I'd like to see a new internet currency standard develop-- one which is international, untaxable and untraceable.

    Would bring whole new meaning to "Shave and a haircut, six bits"

  6. Re:Yeah, right. on Sen. McCain Introduces Bill to Ban Internet Taxes Forever · · Score: 1

    We need taxes to support things like the highway system, public transportation, and public education.

    Yes but do we need these things to be publicly funded? Often highly inefficient IMVAO

    Let's cut off their (gov'ts) air supply (taxes).

  7. Re:damn spooks on "N-word".com Owned by NAACP · · Score: 1

    As a friends father used to say "The only Man keeping the black man down is the man in the mirror." (yes he was black, grew up in South Sacramento.)

    And he lives it to, he owns a successful business. Everyone needs to stop their bitching and get to work.

    Have you read "Snow Crash"???? I'd be careful with those "binary parsing cells"!!!

  11. Re:Atlas Shrugged ... on Economist Lester Thurow Calls for Internet Regulat · · Score: 1

    I agree totally. It is better to get a little bit than nothing at all..Like Reagan

  12. Re:Self-Regulation on Economist Lester Thurow Calls for Internet Regulat · · Score: 1

    Let's all take a few moments and read a _knowledgeble_ economist on the subject. Try Hayek's Road to Serfdom, for an excellent treatment of self organizing entities.

  13. The Only Moral Justification for Government on Economist Lester Thurow Calls for Internet Regulat · · Score: 1

    There is only one moral justifcation for government, the protection of private property rights. All other things should be considered outside its scope. Rand supported a limited government that would do exactly this. The following funtions should fall to government. Military, police, contract enforcement(although should be no restrictions placed on contracts), records of property ownership. There are likly a few more, but they are all of similar vein.

    BTW, just because people do something with government support now != that they have to have government support to do it. It is HIGHLY inefficient to do things through government, plus to do so often is an infringement of an individuals rights.

    NB, my support for a military in general does not mean that I support all of the policies that have been undertaken by the US military in the past.

    Also, please look up the definition of "moral" before using it to accuse someone of "forcing their morality down my throat".

  14. Re:What organizations exist to lobby for freedom? on Economist Lester Thurow Calls for Internet Regulat · · Score: 1

    Try the Cato Institute.

    The ACLU has proven to me that they do not stand for the things that their name would suggest. They have a very juvenile and misguided notion of "rights" which leads them into supporting some pretty gnarly things.

    IMVAO...(why be humble?)

  15. All the usuals on Whaddya want from a conference? · · Score: 1

    1) Hoping to find some new technique to make my system faster || more stable
    2) And, hope over experience of finding a cool "geek girl" (who should also be faster and/or stabler than previous models)

  16. Re:V-chip for adVerts on Kermit the Frog to promote V-Chip · · Score: 1

    In the book form of Carl Sagan's _Contact_ the billionaire industrialist character made his money that way. A device called the "AdNix". There was also a product called "PreachNix".

    Just another relatively newbie perl hacker

  17. How's this? on Linux Lite? · · Score: 2

    I was just talking to someone about making a spinoff distro of Debian called "Snack Cakes", as in "Little Debian Snack Cakes". Or just "Little Debian". Of course, then we have the whole "Big Debian v. Little Debian"

  18. That's not dumping... on Playstation 2 Pix and Rollout · · Score: 1

    Dumping is selling an item for less than it's cost of production. Even if this were the case, which I doubt, there are no US-based competitors. Without those, no one would press for a suit to be filed. Sony would be allowed to proceed. That law is set up to "protect" domestic based competitors, a repeal(or ignoral) of which is good for consumers.

    Well...the sparrows better start doing a better job with those mosquitos...

  21. Re:Semi-related links on Cloning Another Extinct Species · · Score: 1

    PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE!! Tell me you are not serious about these? With the exception of the book form of Jurassic Park these are all unmitigated, pop culturish trash. Jurassic Park is only slightly above that.

    I know, I know...probably be rated flamebait for this, but let's not confuse this trash with a valid ethical treatment of genetics.
