"I couldn't imagine the hell that America would be without swing voters."
This statement is an idealistic view of modern "swing Voters".
Because the swing vote can usually (but not all the time of course) be traded via an closed door agreement for a vote that the swing voter needs for his/her own pet project in another bill.
If this can be done, and i see no reason why it cannot, then wait till the bad guys find out how it works and start to make worms that cannot be reverse-engineered.
Other then that single minor instance on home recording,
Can you honestly say there was this kind of fan fair and court battles over recording on a cassette recorder or a Reel-to-Reel like we see today?
If people buy an Ipod, and then buy a DVD to record on that Ipod, who should give a rats ass if they record the DVD they bought to another item they bought (the ipod).
The problem as i see it is this: The consumer has already been loomed over with law suits like we saw with the record companies suing moms and kids for downloading music to a consumer item that they purchased. (namely,the computer)
Now they may be loomed over again because they actually want to use another item that they purchased (the ipod) to record a DVD( yet another item they purshased).
Where are the consumer rights to actually use the electronics they purchased for the purpose the electronics were designed to do?
Hell, don't sue the mom's and the kids, sue the manfactures for making a product no one can use with out a court battle.
What's next? Consumers will purchase a car but will be told they cannot drive the car because it infringes on someone's rights!:-)
IOW, where does the rights of big business end and the consumer rights start? If they want consumers to buy their shit, then consumers have to be able to actually to use their shit (excuse the language) without fear of legal battles.
What i have read claims so.
But it has to go hand in hand with all necessary supplmentation, including trace minerals.
So my overall point is proper supplementation in a synergistic manor with all the vit's, min's and trace min's gives the body what it needs to repair itself.
It will repair slower then science likes to see it repair, but the body can repair itself naturally and completly with proper/balanced supplementation.
From the article: "The question that needs to be asked is, if you buy a DVD, are you allowed to put it onto an iPod?" Onigman says.
This pathetic display of greed is costing the public more then the recovery from sales that may be lost over this issue.
Where are the consumer-right to use products for the intention that they were purchased for? A few decades ago no one said a peep about taking a Record and recording your favorite songs on a cassette recorder to play in your car.
Why should an Ipod and an DVD be any different?
A DVD to an Ipod is what a Record is to a cassette player.
If consumers buy a DVD, then consumers should have the right to use that DVD in other products they may purchase.
Maybe if Yahoo! took all the crap off their main page like Goggle did people would go back to them. Goggle's clean front page is the only reason i switched from yahoo to goggle.

"Under a plea agreement, Mr Ancheta is expected to receive from four years to six years in prison when he is sentenced on 1 May, though the deal has to be approved by a judge.
He also agreed to pay $15,000 (£8,800) in restitution to the military facilities affected and forfeit the proceeds of his illicit activities, including more than $60,000 (£35,000) in cash and a 1993 BMW. "
Anyone believe he had only 60 thousand in the bank?
1. Apple's stock only rose 25% last week.

A product like this one brings some questions to mind about security and the ability to admin a server by the people this would be marketed to.
If you store alot of business phone numbers along with their personal info like e-mail, home numbers, etc, could this be hacked off the phone through the server? The abuse issues could be endless via users that have not one single clue about admining a web server.
Our technology seems to be out pacing the average citizen's ability to control it. Which is a paradox because everyone wants a better life through technology.
The only time i use Acrobat is when it is a must to view the information i need. Basically because Acrobat needs patching against vulnerabilities just like windows does.
You obviously did not read MY POST throughly either. I did not address the driver portion of the article, i addressed the windows based software portion.
So, here is the quote from the article again. This quote is the only portion that i addressed with my original post. If you had read the article you would know this. As you can see, it clearly says this topic is not just about DRIVERS, it is about the windows based software also:
"Digital signatures allow the administrator or end user who is installing Windows-based software to know whether a legitimate publisher has provided the software package."
"What if curiousity is what makes them want to live again?"
The phrase "curiousity killed the cat" was coined for a reason.
"Or the sheer joy of remembering the good times and continuing to be alive?"
Well, "remembering the good times" is not more important then making the good times. Making more good times may be hard to do for someone born in the 20th century and waking up in the 26th century, even assuming all body parts and wealth survives.
For those that cannot or did not RTFA, here is a quote from the article that clearly states this topic is not just about DRIVERS:
"Digital signatures allow the administrator or end user who is installing Windows-based software to know whether a legitimate publisher has provided the software package."
Not at all. I like MS with a few exceptions. Well, ok, more then a few.
Besides, the article clearly states: "Digital signatures allow the administrator or end user who is installing Windows-based software to know whether a legitimate publisher has provided the software package."
I have been flamed for my comment twice, (here and another thread) but, it seems that it is you that did not read the article fully.
"driver signing what does that have to do with software programming!"
I simply do not understand how the statement: "installing Windows-based software" is being confused about being about just hardware drivers unless the article was not fully read.
"Digital signatures allow the administrator or end user who is installing Windows-based software to know whether a legitimate publisher has provided the software package."
From the article:
What part of "Windows-based software" was too difficult for you to understand???
What about the single freelance programer that offers his well written program for free or a small price and exposure? He/She has no ability to become a "Class 3 Commercial Software Publisher" and pay 500 bucks a year.
Which puts everyone at the mercy of the the big guys for their software needs. That means less choice and more expense for the consumer.
"they require that you have a Class 3 Commercial Software Publisher Certificate from Verisign. This costs $500 [EUR 412] per year, and as the name implies, is only available to commercial entities."
What about the "geek-next-door" that writes a better program then the big guys down on main avenue; But, cannot or will not become "a commerical entity" and pay verisign 500 bucks a year for a cert. This type of freeware/shareware is uaually very useful software. And it gives up and coming programers experience and exposure.
It sounds like tucows, and places like tucows, as well as the programers, will be out of business.
"is not likely to solve problems caused by methylation of a tumor suppressor gene."
in the formation of cancer, abnormal methylation, resulting in both hypomethylation and hypermethylation, has been observed.
Folate deficiency is a major cause of impaired methylation, because it leads to a decrease in the levels of SAMe and hence to impaired methylation.
http://www.ffnmag.com/NH/ASP/strArticleID/357/strS ite/FFNSite/articleDisplay.asp
Of all epigenetic modifications, hypermethylation, which represses transcription of the promoter regions of tumor suppressor genes leading to gene silencing, has been most extensively studied.
The contribution of dietary folate and methylene terahydrofolate reductase polymorphisms to methylation patterns in normal and cancer tissues is under intense investigation.
http://www.jco.org/cgi/content/full/22/22/4632
Too much methylation, known as hypermethylation, is thought to play an important role in the pathogenesis of cancer. "And so folic acid may be working to reduce hypermethylation in genes that might otherwise produce colon cancer." Pinning down just how they keep control over these processes might allow researchers to find or create drugs that would be even more targeted, and even more effective at keeping cancer at bay.

As i said in my first post, proper supplementation with a balance of the right supplements gives the body everything it needs to heal itself.
Assuming that this person could be raised from the dead a couple hundred years from now, what kind of life would that person have? This reminds me of a movie "Shawshank Redemption" when a prisoner was finally released after 40 or so years. The world around him had changed so much that he could not cope so he killed himself.
Who is to say that money will even be used in the future?
Everything this person loves so much that drives them to want to live again or live forever will probably be gone. Including friends,loved ones and their money.
They could wake up a vegetable, or wake up with some of their body parts that did not survive the trip. They could wake up without arms or legs, or sight and sound. Now, they are broke, they are desolute, and they are alone in a world where they are not comfortable AND they have no arms or legs!
Then again, science of that day may turn them into a lab experiment. A kinda living time capsule. Many dieases may be cured by then and they dont want the persom around to infect everyone with dieases of the past.
How did these people ever make enough money when when they were alive to pay for cryo since they obviously cannot think the issues through!
HEll, Apes may be running the planet!
This has to be the funniest get rich quick scheme.

"If I don't like living in the future, death is always an option."
Maybe the folks that wake ya up turn you into a lab rat because they find you intresting. Then you cannot use your death option.

You do not like my position on the issue as is your right.
Thanks for the intresting debate on this topic.
