Only one issue, most small business people purchase large F-350 type trucks only because it allows them a large tax break. They have no real need for the large truck to operate their business, but because they can write it off thanks to the tax break, they choose the truck.
I have seen H2s and F-350s with computer repair business and realtor business names plastered on them, what do they need those large vehicles for? Tax breaks is all I can come up with.
With the number of cars sold in California every year, hell, every day, the Automakers would feel it pretty quick if they decided to boycott selling in California. This is car country after all, there are very few people that do not own a car.
So is the government going to subsidize the storage system for all those records to be stored, that could amount to massive and ever growing amounts of data as more people start surfing the tubes.
Hardened boxes, tamper proof without proper tools and procedures, along with 2 person integrity with the machines from vault(with two person integrity locks), to polling place(with machine integrity testing occuring on each machine by a not for profir third party), to counting facility, back to the vault with signature transfers all the way from start to finish. Seems like it would be worth the trouble to ensure that the voting results are properly recorded and reported.
I think it sad and scary that the results of the Television awards shows have tighter security then any of the process of the democratic elections.
I always figured these two little blurbs at the end of the bill of rights covered that. But what do I know, I am just a citizen that takes his rights seriously. IANACS(I am not a constitutional scholar, or a lawyer for that matter)
Amendment IX
The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.
Amendment X

It's definitely news, but maybe not news that fits into the "your rights online" type. Unless you are in the business of selling illegal copies of software.

Jeez, why don't I just have a representative of the MPAA come live at my house and keep track of what movies I watch, and to make sure I don't rip any of my DVDs.
"But what about services that don't require payment? For example, the P2P software that's been deemed illegal in Australia. Or racist websites operating in the US that run afoul of Canadian and European laws. Falun Gong sites that are illegal in China. Various types of pornography that are illegal in various places in the world. IIRC it's still illegal to export cryptographic software from the US to certain embargoed nations under the same laws that prohibit the sale of weapons to these nations; I'm pretty sure if you sold any other weapon to such a country the Feds wouldn't take, "But he clicked a box on our website saying he wasn't from Iran," for an answer. We run into the problem that it's easy to cross national borders on the Internet and impossible to control which borders you're crossing. All you have to do to "export" something online is sign up with your neighborhood ISP. This is one of the reasons it's been so successful."
When I was stationed in Spain, I tried to download a 128 bit encrypted browser, the site recognized my IP as not US, so denied the download. I could have gone the proxy route, but figured it was easier just to get the stuff I wanted from work with the US military IP's. But seems that most sites could deny access from sites that it is known to be illegal to access the service or software, but why is that really their concern. It's not illegal (afaik) in the UK to export gambling services, just like its not illegal to export P2P clients, so why should they be bothered.
And what would stop me from using my US credit card on the UK site while vacationing in Canada? Seems there is a large hole in the argument of using a US credit card as proof.
"You can spin it anyway you want, but you do not use the NSA to spy on US citizens.
But that's exactly what the NSA was created to do."
That's the most ignorant and dumbest thing I have ever heard. You have obviously never read the rules and regulations that govern the inteligence community.
"Do you have any idea how many military operations went on while he distracted everyone with a blowjob?"
Yes, I do, I was in the military during this timeframe. And there wasn't nearly the level of incompetence as there is today. So do you really know how many, and the success of the military operations? I would venture the answer is no. Good day.
"An ideal system would combine what you have with with you know for effective security. Combining a pin number with an contactless access card for instance would be reasonably effective, and probably at least as secure as any biometric system alone and probably cheaper.",p.,p.
Contactless card with pin fullfills pretty stringent security requirements. I have worked at some pretty high security places and this was the access system used at all of them.
If the recording companies sold unemcumbered music, then they could sell to all the media player using public, including iPod users. Which could effectively push Apple out of the game.

Sounds like one of the dumbest ideas I have heard, this goes alongside the MPAA and RIAA shenanigans.
patent numbers please. {/tongueincheek}

Apples, Oranges, yada yada.

Just put it in the tube, the tube knows what to do.

Why buy youtube, when you can sue youtube and take the site as a settlement instead.

It's possible that even asking that put you on the watch list.

I think they did a study and found that not enough non-professionals drink coffee to justify installing the cupholders on the non pro Mac.
Sounds more like poor choice of file storage.

Much like GMT is a UK timezone. I doubt that UK folks use EST commonly. Unless you are in the military, or in the UK, its doubtful you use GMT.

I blame the ISPs. After all, it is them that allowed the access to the illegal(in WA) content. /sarcasm

And yet the US government would be more then happy to tax me on any monies I bring back here from the UK gambling site.
