why the DoJ went to the trouble of demanding Google for a billion random search records last year when it could have just politeley asked NSA[sic]
Because DoJ needed data they could ultimately release to the public to justify limiting access to indecent/subversive material on the Internet: "'porn' =1982839 times, 'bomb'= 198392 times, 'dirka dirka' 79802374 times, 'Riemannian manifold' 12709845 times.
Since such data were to become public, they needed a legal way to obtain such info (which they may already have though the NSA anyways).
As opposed to lining you up for a Freedom Camp based on an illegal wiretap of your DNC donation, say.
You would probably know this... Can it be interfaced to a computer (something straightforward, e.g. tty) or is one basically forced to use the remote? 'Hackable' includes being able to control individual steppers externally? Could one, say, use a PIC to control this bypassing whatever 'brain' it has?
Even if the election officials do absolutely nothing, it'll show up on the evening and nightly news.
No it will not.
Moreover, most normal people would consider Diebold/e-voting detractors in the same league as Moon landing hoaxers, UFO kooks, and Bush-ordering-911 conspiracy idiots. Sorry.
So any news you might see would go along the lines of: "Look at this bunch of unwashed Diebold conspiracy hippies protesting our fair and balanced election system. They hate America and support terror, but that's OK because in America even idiots get a voice. A video of a openvotingconsortium hexdump drumcircles at 11."
Adding loudspeakers is a very good idea. At least Blair shows he wants to be pro-active in defending the public, rather than just spy on them like they do over here.
I for one wish they would add gatling turrets to every camera. And sound effects from Deus Ex/2.
'Ripping' is not a right, it's a privilege bestowed (or not) upon you by the copyright holder.
Currently RIAA does grant you the priviledge to rip your CDs. But since they claim 'ripping' is not your right (e.g. under 'Fair Use'), they could forbid you from ripping your CDs whenever they chose to.
no. this is not a right, it's a privilege bestowed (or not) upon you by the copyright holder.
For example, currently RIAA does grant you the priviledge to format-shifting your CDs (but they reserve the right to change that in the future). However, they do NOT grant you the privilege to 'format-shifting' DRMed downloads.
It is all Clinton's and Democrats' fault, since they (Clinton and the Democrats) currently control the White House, the Congress, the Senate, and the Supreme Court. Republicans have no say whatsoever. As you know, Clinton took the funding away from FEMA before Katrina, appointed college dropouts to edit scientific reports on global warming, and even appointed this hack to head FCC.
Remember that Republicans have no power to subpoena anyone and launch an investigation into anything since they are the minority party, be it
-Iraq (damn Clinton got us there by getting CIA to lie about WMDs there), -9/11 (Monica distracted Clinton from reading 'Bin Laden determined to attack the U.S.' memo in August '01), -gas prices (damn Democrats get donations from the oil companies), -unemployment or healthcare (ditto), -record deficit (damn liberals love their Big-Spending Government), -illegal wiretapping (damn Clinton has no respect for the Constitution by spying on his oponents) -tax cuts at the time of war (fucking Democrats setting us up for tax hike in the future) -letting North Korea develop nukes (that's 9/11 Windows' fault there, not just Clinton's) -letting $4,000,000,000 in cash literally disappear after taking over Iraq's Food-for-oil accounts (Democrats paying off their terror buddies for 9/11?) -or taking bribes from Abramoff (50 Democrats took bribes vs 1 Republican) -election finance reforms (currently the Democrats have 500% more money than the Republicans to spend on elections, somehow)
Please remember that since Republicans do not have the majority in either House or Senate, they are powerless to bring any laws to vote, hold an oversight hearing, subpoena any witnesses, or launch any investigations.
This is why we should vote Republican this November to restore checks and balances to our Government.
Verizon, who's hosting e360Insight that sued Spamhause, probably cover their asses by doing just enough to not come under a legal definition of 'spam': requiring e360 honors the Unsubscribe link in email...
So when you unsubscribe from e360Insight, they do in fact stop spamming you... then sell your verified email address to other spammers!
How you feel if everyone just started going to McDonalds's and taking all the food without paying? Perhaps you could still earn money giving burger-flipping concerts? Or perhaps someone would give you donations based on your good work?
DRM does intrinsically interfere with fair use as I'm explicity allowed to format shift and resample.
It's interfering with format-shifting how, exactly?
If you have a genuine need to format-shift, do it like we do for LPs: 1) hook up your stereo-out or line-out to your 8-track recorder or whatever, 2) hit 'Play' 3) record.
Using this method (for example), your 50 minutes worth of music will be format-shifted in about 50 minutes.
Your fair use does not include converting DRMed music to MP3s at x30 the play rate, then putting those on Kazaa.
What the Communist China lacks is creativity. I am not talking about the Chinese people here, I am talking about the dictatorship supressing Free Though.
Hence Chinese grad students and scientists working abroad achieve wonders of creativity and invention, while those inside China, not so much...
If elections officials told the public, "We're going to count by a secret counting method and we won't tell you how we're going to count; you'll just have to trust us that we picked the right person for the job," the public would burn down city hall.
If elections officials told the public, "To protect your Freedom we are going to count by an undisclosed counting method and we won't help terrorists by telling the evildoers how we're going to protect the public and count the votes; you'll just have to support our troops and the person we picked for the job," the public would greet you as liberators
Well you crackpot hippie protesters might be fine with our soldiers shooting you with real bullets, but I beg to differ. I would chose non-lethal force over lethal force any day.
And how would a fledgeling bootcamp GI feel pumping his mother full of lead? A large percentage would chicken out and refuse to protect our Freedom if they had to use lead on protesters.
Hence nonlethal weaps help our soldiers avoid being courtmarshalled for disobeying a disperse order.
3) buy an alarmclock with EAS (used to be EBS, emergency broadcast) feature (set you back US$15) or 4) download one of those WeatherBug spyware thingies for your windows tray (at least they only track your web habits). They actually pool EAS. or 5) move AWAY from the sea; go live in CO, WY, NE, KS, even UT.
I meant testing such as looking for a SOD-1 gene mutations and recording the the extend of Q/R editing of GluR2 mRNA (which affects calcium permeability and toxicity).
I am personally sorry about your condition. Notice that it is at least possible that a cure will be found in the next decade or two (depending on the level of stem cell funding and luck). Theoretically, it is possible to use SCs to recreate motor neurons and map back the regressed motor cortex associations.
I guess it is now up to you and your family to decide whether you, when the time comes, would want to go on life support and wait until such a cure arrives. Good luck to you.
Should be noted that there are allegations that Dr. Hawking is into either spousal abuse roleplay. Last years there were pictures of injuries to Dr. Hawking consistent with the above practice, a police inquiry was initiated; to this, Dr. Hawking responded: "mind your own business".
Would the assistant be expected to participate in a practice such as this?
A side note: men with ALS are capable of eye control, sphincter control (they do not pee or shit themselves uncontrollably), as well as able to have erections and orgasms. Only motor neurons are affected while the full sensory input is retained.
Another side note: it is not definite that Dr. Hawking actually has ALS (as opposed to some other neurodegenerative disorder). He is the only known ALS patient known to survive for this long, and he has consistently refused any advanced ALS testing.

Thanks.
I actually sympathize with you... For what it's worth, I merely pointed out how this issue would be treated by an average American.
I would also bet that people reading of DieBold would assume it's some sort of an Army recruiting slogan, heh.
No it will not.

MacOS 7+ used to do that, but it was a bitch to send a resource fork properly over the Internet (though possible).
Of course with Mac OS X you need to convince the user to set the execute bit to run the 'picture.jpeg' file: not trivial for a typical OSX user.

Given that GP aparently uses his real name here, telling you anything else could be a career-ending move for him.

Because that's not the American Way.
That's not how this are normally done 'round here.
My point exactly.

-gas prices (damn Democrats get donations from the oil companies),
-unemployment or healthcare (ditto),
-record deficit (damn liberals love their Big-Spending Government),
-illegal wiretapping (damn Clinton has no respect for the Constitution by spying on his oponents)
-tax cuts at the time of war (fucking Democrats setting us up for tax hike in the future)
-letting North Korea develop nukes (that's 9/11 Windows' fault there, not just Clinton's)
-letting $4,000,000,000 in cash literally disappear after taking over Iraq's Food-for-oil accounts (Democrats paying off their terror buddies for 9/11?)
-or taking bribes from Abramoff (50 Democrats took bribes vs 1 Republican)

There, corrected it for ya.
But at least our pipes are secure. Oil pipes.

infinite RAM? 640k should be plenty for anybody
I for one remember the good old days when a useful program would fit in 128 bytes (complete with a GUI and a printer stack)
You are confusing the iPod, which uses a number of open standards (AAC/MP3/etc; Apple Lossless is the only proprietary one I know of)
AAC and MP3 are also proprietary... which is the reason these codecs are not normally included with OSS linux distros.
Not that iPod users care, mind you.
Not only that, but penalties for 'hacking' are quite extraordinary.
One would do much less time for, say, shoplifting $500 worth of stuff, or starting up a pyramid scheme of some sort
At $500/pop this is going to be one hell of an expensive eyecandy.
I guess this costs about as much as a Mac mini + Tiger...
how about:
3) buy an alarmclock with EAS (used to be EBS, emergency broadcast) feature (set you back US$15)
or
4) download one of those WeatherBug spyware thingies for your windows tray (at least they only track your web habits). They actually pool EAS.

Does the linux /proc filesystem provide this sort of info?
Not currently.
