Babies are not routinely being given carry permits
Only because people are not routinely filling for them because unemancipated minors only need to be with an adult who has a FOID car in their posession. I am guessing that babies probably don't receive FOID cards that often but it is probably not unheard of for teenagers to receive them. If the gun owning parents in Illinois are anything like the gun owning parents I know, I would trust thier decision on if their child is mature enough to handle a firearm more than I would trust an arbitrary age that a state would come up with.
I was replying to a person that stated "a child can't own a gun", unless you would call someone 10 months old an adult, the state of Illinois disagrees. According to the FAQ the only thing you need if you are under 16 years of age is parental consent to apply for a FOID card. There are age restrictions on buying long guns and pistols but not possessing them.http://www.isp.state.il.us/foid/firearmsfaq.cfm
The only thing I have never got working using this procedure is the Sony Memory Pro stick reader in the laptop I am currently using. If anyone has ever got one of these working under Linux I would love to hear how.
I have a Sony pcg-nvr23 laptop and on boot I have some message about/dev/sda being assigned to a device, I am at work so I can't tell you the exact message. On my work computer that has a usb card reader, if I type
dmesg |grep scsi
I get the output
scsi 2:0:0:0: Direct-Access USB2.0 CardReader CF RW 0.0> PQ: 0 ANSI: 0 sd 2:0:0:0: Attached scsi removable disk sda sd 2:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg0 type 0 scsi3 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices scsi 3:0:0:0: Direct-Access Kingston DataTraveler 2.0 1.00 PQ: 0 ANSI: 2 sd 3:0:0:0: Attached scsi removable disk sdb sd 3:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg1 type 0
What model laptop do you have, and does dmesg report any scsi disks?
Media player is perfectly capable of playing DVDs
Erm. No it isn't, not out of the box on an unmodified Windows XP install. I think it all depends on how you define perfectly capable of playing DVDs. If I understand correctly Media player is just as capable of playing DVDs as an unmodified xine. As long as you want to play unencrypted DVDs you are fine, Otherwise you need to find a means of decrypting the DVD.
BTW: no brand lasts much more than 100 years in fact, very few companies do, and those are quite interesting companies.
I have easily found several companies that have made it more than 100 years. I think Beretta Might be a brand that has lasted slightly longer then 100 years.

How many times should the government be able to tax one product?
If you fill out the right paperwork the product only gets taxed once at the end of the process.
Presumably taxes were paid on the stuff that made the bio fuel oil in every phase of transaction. The farmer paid taxes, the producer paid taxes, the McDonalds paid taxes, those who bought the fries fried in the oil paid taxes, etc.
The farmer would pay taxes on the farm equipment bought to produce the crop, the oil is not taxed yet.
The producer would pay taxes on equipment used to turn the produce of the farmer into oil, the oil is still not taxed.
You are correct that McDonalds would pay taxes on the oil. There is no tax on food in ohio but, However; if there was Mcdonalds would not pay tax for the potatoes because they are reselling them in the form of fries
People consuming fries do not pay taxes for the oil, the taxes for the oil would be collected from McDonalds buy the organazation selling the oil to McDonalds. Some people would argue that the people paying for the fries pay the tax but that is incorrect, because buy the time you pay for your fries the state has already collected thier taxes.
Well, you're out of luck there if you can't wait a couple minutes. But once I do, I can do more than put it on a floppy (if it'll even fit). I could put it on an external hard drive, a thumb drive, a CD or DVD, or put it on a shared network drive or email it. The Mac Plus doesn't offer most of those options.
I am not an expert on the mac plus but according to the article they had the os for the mac installed on an external scsi hard drive. They also mentioned that the computer was capable of networking. The USB standard did not exist at the time and the scsi bus might be to slow to feed a cd burner, but I am fairly shure that some sort of adaptation could be made that would allow for both. The low speed of usb is 1.5 Mbits/s and scsi had an initial throughput of 5MB/s which leaves some room for any extra that would be needed to encapsulate the protocol. CD burners could use a 700MB buffer that way the burner would have all of the needed infromation before starting the burn.
I sort of agree with the article that just because we have the extra resources dose not mean we have to use them. If they had a full blown version of word running on the mac plus then why can't a pda which has the same or better specs run a full copy of word? I believe that would end compatibility issues, and the more modular they make word the easier it could be to keep the extra feautres without the running in to storage space on the pda if the sync feature could recognize and only move they needed modules when syncing the pda.
I totally agree about the noise the guitar puts out. they should really find a way to dampen that.
Would a set of headphones block out the noise of the guitar enough. If the headphones would help it might be easier to put a headphone jack on the guitar and a set of headphones instead of a more expensive buttons or buttons that would not work as well.
If I understand what I have read correctly while pretending to be a network administrator during the day, you can use group policy to make programs appear in the add remove programs area. You can also put in automatic privilege escalation to allow non administrators to install the programs.
I have an amd k6-2 450Mhz with a cd burner and a dvd rom, both drives will read my burned cds but the bios will only boot from one of them. some live cds seem to expect to be in the other drive, so I either have to burn two cds or try and switch the one cd at the right spot in the boot order.
Unfortunately there is no easy way to test a SIP connection speeds or performance.
I do not have voip so I have no idea what information the bill contains, but my cell phone bill is able to tell me when I was on the phone and who I was talking to. Would it be possible to either track statistics on actual calls or make a special number to call (like #min to track minutes on a cell phone) where a computer answers and speaks the numbers in real time (simulates actual phone conversation) and possibly sends an email with the numbers after you hang up.
That could be a minor drawback for people wanting to watch tv on television screens. I think I overlooked that because I bought a 24" flat panel monitor in january and use it for both tv and computer needs.
If you have an old computer lying around with two pci slots you could buy a bigger hdd a pvr150 and a pvr 350(this gives hardware decoding and a tv out).
The biggest reason I keep looking at via boards is because they have hardware mpeg-2 decoding and they use less power so you can use smaller fans (possibly none).
Dell E521n with Athlon 64 3200+? $481 USD, before I add the two Hauppauge 150s, and plug in a 500GB USB drive...?
According to this guy, it's not 100% effortless... But it sounds like it can be made to work.

As long as you are going to add in two pci cards after you buy the computer would you be willing to use a barebones kit from newegg?

Total $508.23 if shipped to my house, and I could go the local computer store and get a remote and optical drive for another 70
Put a rom on the motherboard that you can boot from that tests the hardware.
I recently recieved an ibm thinkpad 820 to play with, It is giving me some sort of error in the scsi portion of the hardware. If a laptop from the mid 90a can have a section of the bios that can test all of the hardware why can't a big name manufacturer acomplish that now?
If that won't work how about downloadable cd, dvd, or usb images of the base system.
Those ideas take care of testing hardware. For software they could have a form to fill out for distros where they can say that if dell gives them one of each model early they will install and test thier particular distro, and then send it back. When dell recieves the computer they can image the hard drive to install on any computer ordered that way. To make support easier on the distros after the units start selling dell can give send the distros a handful of computers proportionate to the number of installs they had.
