Someone else mentioned quantum encryption, and by all the laws of physics we know, it is unbreakable (but we are still discovering those laws so who knows how long it'll last). OTOH a unreused one-time pad is utterly unbreakable, if useless in this particular situation. Quantum crypto is just a way of creating and sharing a one-time pad key over an insecure (fiberoptic) connection, then using it to communicate.
He specificly pointed out the effect of the 27th ammendment. However, he noted that it shouldn't be based on the next election, but on an entirely different senator being elected (i.e. an incumbent doesn't get a payraise that he voted for).
Looking over it more carefully, I do see the implication that it would have to be a different senator. However I don't see a mention of the current system which might at least sorta work w/o the COLAs.
no salary raises for congressmen currently in office (they only go into effect for the next guy to take the office - nobody in government should be in charge of their own salary)
This is not only currently law, but part of the constitution. See the 27th amendment. Unfortunately they ignore this repeatedly with by calling it a cost of living adjustment, and the courts back them.
About the dual head stuff - if you use NVIDIA it works fine and does NOT require restarting X (at least under KDE 3.5 or 3.4). Admittedly, you may need to add the resolutions you want to xorg.conf, but I haven't tried any autoconfig stuff for X - I added the second monitor well after setting up linux and so just added the TwinView lines by hand.
I know this sort of thing (using electrodes or something more invasive IIRC) has been done in monkeys for a while. They would have the monkeys use a joystick to hit a target, and if they succeeded they got some reward. Meanwhile they were updating the software to properly recognize the movements. Then they cut out the stick and ran it just on the readings. Eventually the monkeys learned that the stick wasn't need to move it.
Just from thinking about it (ie I haven't looked), but 1/3 c seems a bit high - what are they using to keep it from hitting some micrometeor or just interstellar hydrogen and getting destroyed. Or is my sense of scale just way off?
"Nevermind that in order to produce enough huge swaths of "unused land" (aka natural) would have to be cleared to put in farms to produce the seeds to produce the oil."
I have no clue if this is so, but what about all the farmers who are paid not to grow stuff - could they use that part of their lands to grow the necessary plants? It might not be enough to replace gas, but it might help
Actually, the game mechanics are not in the python, but there are lots of hooks where you can do stuff, most of the ingame UI screens (not the 3d stuff) is in the python, and most of the game mechanics and all of the AI will be in the C++ game mechanics they will release soon.

Shred the device and you should be fine (ie shred /dev/hdb)

I can't get 98 to boot if I stick 2gbs of ram in. 1 gb seems to work though (but the semi-dos games that were the reason I would run 98 wouldn't).
Alternatively, just reboot into safe mode and the Security tab will magically appear and you can do it just like with pro.
And then they turn off their activation server and you are waving around useless bits.
