Well, if they're going to do that, why not just put a dumb terminal in there, put on lynx and have something to do. Or allow advertising to web ads to pay for the toilet.
(It was a banner loader for some software. C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\CD_LOAD.EXE)
I noticed it too, when using NT, I am an ardent supporter of checking Task Manager a few timely daily, and killing *any* process that I can't figure out. Hasn't crashed the box yet, and it usually runs for two to four weeks before something crashes or freezes it, which is pretty good for NT.
Anyway, CD_LOAD.EXE, is by CyDoor (I think, I already deleted it and it's registry entries) as a snooper for banner advertisments. It my case it was installed by Babylon. Just checked, there's a list of downloads on the Cydoor website, so they probably all have it.
Well, our nervous system seems to help us respond to dangers, such as placing your hand in a dangerously hot area, the body responds and the hand moves. I wonder if getting the hand to have some form of feedback would be the next step.
That is pretty neat. But now that the hand is not limited by the body, as it is controlled by motors, what about the strenth of it. Is it one strentgh fits all, or does the user have the power to apply different amount of strengths? And, how strong could it be?
I'm not a big fan of lawsuits, or the authority that some judges assume, but it is nice to see some action in this area. If only it gets reported widely enough so that even non-technical people are aware of what is going on with their privacy.
Reminds me of that TNG episode where they found a way to make the Borg examine a picture that constinued forever.
Hmm.. wouldn't that be interesting, have the feeder continuosly feed it email addresses and never stop. It's a better way to fight, don't resist, just give them exactly what they want, and lot's of it, until they stop it by themselves.
Maybe in between countries. Inside of a country, however, you allow the government to help with laws and the like so people don't have to weild guns. Besides, in those countries where civilians may not own firearms, would they have to renounce citizenship before defending their land?
If space mining becomes a common theme, then they are. And the vast amounts of space take a lot of time to get to, until we find significantly better ways to travel.
So the first person to land on Mars owns all of it? Must he put up a planetary defense system to keep it? Or must you defend every inch? Will some group be set up as arbitrator? Or will Anarchy be the defining factor?
How do define ownership? People, or rather NASA, seems to think that space is theirs. Sooner or later people will get out there. And then what? Have someone decide that they own Mars, or that asteroid, or anything.
This article talks about making/saving money up there, but that alone opens the door to tremendous conflict over ownership
I wish some editor would allow the mix of both HTML and PHP, supporting echoing HTML from PHP. I'ts a tall order but it would sure make it _a lot_ easier.
In the end the users should use what they want and MS does a great job on UI. Yeah, it probably needs more care, but that's what techies are for. As far as scalability, I believe I have heard of corporations that have over ten thousand users on it and it works just fine.
Actually, I believe they also link to MSN by default as your home page, check Internet Explorer updates by default, and "search" (ever hit ctrl-e instead of ctrl-w) is Microsoft or MSN by default. However, they are not as blatant as Netscape, and that says a whole lot.

Nah, each state can do it on its own. It's just a thought of how to implement it. I would even think it to be better to be done only in a few states at first. See how it goes before everyone else jumps into it.

The significant problem in doing a public electronic vote is to find a way to gaurentee that each person can vote no more than once while at the same time making sure that the vote is really anonymous.
Split it up into two sections. Give everyone a card with a bit of flash memory on it. Have everyone register for a vote sometime before election day. This will put an id on the card. The id will not be tracked per voter, just that it was assigned. On election day let everyone vote in an authorized place on authorized machines, and record the id and the vote.
For the meantime, they could still use paper and do the election the sdame way, except that the computer will punch the holes or whatever it is. The computer can read the values and display it to the user. That should rid confusion and keep at least the same security of secrecy that we have now.

The memebers of House of Representatives can vote by "electronic device". Every representative has a voting card and there are machines in the hall. It would probably be a good idea to start implementing that for the common vote as well.
Even if Gore picked up a few thousand in a recount, the military vote still has to come in, and that is generally Republican. I highly doubt Gore will win.
If things are so bad, then why don't more high-earners flee to tax havens abroad?
Because the US charges a lot more when you don't live in the US. Also, having a corporation outside the US would increase tarriffs.
but I do think that progressive taxation makes sense
Being taxes are percentage based, they hit everyone equally. For every dollar A makes more than B, A pays more taxes than B.
I disagree wholly with progressive taxes. I think they are a punishment for being rich by people who can't stand you. The United States is based on survival of the fittest in the economical sense, with Welfare as a safety net so the non-fittest don't become completely destitute. Any other raising of Welfare, is just plain Socialism. A bit of it may be nice, but let's not lose ourselves.
Anyway, if a progressive tax was implemented, it should be a *balanced* progressive tax.
A balanced progressive tax would be that we set a central tax rate some agreed upon income level. Then, for every tax bracket less than that, the tax will go down by some percentage, and a matching tax bracket, more than the agreed upon income level, would go up by the same percentage. The idea would be, as soon as you reach the tax bracket that pays no taxes, the top tax bracket will pay 2 * the agreed upon rate. After that, of course, the rate drops to the central rate.
The advantages of this are:
There is a central tax rate. Noone is ever punsihed. The "rich" simply pay what the "poor" cannot.
Taxes can only be modified in one of two ways.
The central tax rate is moved up or down, thus affecting everyone.
The tax brackets are changed, though this should be a rare thing.
There is an upper limit to the *progressive* tax. At the top, it then returns to the average rate. Thus, the progressive part was only to make up for the "poor".
I believe e-mail is correct. As it is a hyphenated word, it defines a new phenomena. As it comes into common use, however, it seems just plain silly, and people drop the dash. At that point the basic rule of language comes into play, basically, Language is defined by those who speak it. So, when e-mail becomes common, the dash may be dropped as it is now a word and no longer a hyphenated. Or so it would seem.

We don't know what actually may be on Mars. Maybe there is life that we cannot detect. Adding *anything* to their atmosphere could be dangerous.
