The Supreme Court at one time did read it as "state militia", only a few years ago did they --I think for the 1st time-- read it as a right for private citizens. So it could be a little while before the supreme Court changes its mind.

Who breaks the law, and what law; does effect guilt. You are always breaking laws. It is the base for getting you convicted that marks you.
Ex. Man and woman go to bar get drunk. While drunk they have sex. Later the woman can press charges on the man for 'rape' and win. The way the laws are USED says that a man should know better then to have sex with a woman who does not have full control of her self (Drunk, drugged, insane,...). The man would be hard pressed to get rape charges on the woman even if under the law it was still rape. The woman, who was also drunk, took avenge of a man who was not in full control of him self..

Succession has one more trouble. Obama has talked about how he wanted to follow Lincoln's ideals.
(Insert joke about Obama plans to shipping white people back to Europe)
So any succession would follow by Obama declaring war on who left, and removing habeas corpus.

The new tax can pay for everything (if people stay there and pay it). I still do not under stand the idea of a pure 75% tax. I could under stand a tax on money after the 1st mil at 75%, but won't the new tax make some Rich have less money after tax then people making a lot less money?

ip tracking.

Use TOR.... NOW!

Two words: section 508.
A lot of blind people are using iphones and ipads because apple has been pushing better support for people with diffrent needs.
If you run a flash website, you lose out on a large population of blind users. Facebook wants as many people as they can to use the site.
HTML5 as part of a good MVC setup lets access to more people with less wasted money on apps for every platform.

Facebook programmers suck at the "view" part of MVC. Don't blame HTML5 for Facebook not knowing what they want to show. They could do just as much with a good view as a mobile app. The good view would put less work on the mobile phone.

think it is number 2 (ha ha). The US Government has tested a lot of crazy things, just in case (ex. ESP). I would not be surprised if they tried to find it... and failed.... I hope.

To help Chrisq (894406) out, here is a cite:

Ryan Pries, Wei Yu, Xinwen Fu, and Wei Zhao, “A New Replay Attack against Tor Anonymous Communication Network", in Proc. of IEEE International Conference on Communications (ICC) (Best Paper Award of Information and Network Security Symposium), May 2008.

The way Nodes are picked tries to prevent that. IP address that are to close to each other (without looking it up I would say 2 octects), or IP address that are from the same area can't be used together.

Right now most of the evil exit nodes would be people who have evil use for the data. They are willing to put out more money and have more money for making them faster (Evil governments, Org Crime, Ad companies). So right now, getting a faster connection could be a bad thing. This would help even the playing field a little.

Sill, they need to do a lot more. With the tor network you don't need to control any nodes if you have control of a few routers along the way (Governments). Look up: Wei Yu. Replay Attack still make it easy to know who sent information to who. If it is not End-to-End tor, they know what you send too.

Microsoft would have stop selling and supporting XP after 5 years. Off the top of my head most Linux distros support for 2-3 years, some 5, and redhat has the new 10. For that reason I had to change what I tell people to use from Ubuntu 6.06 to Centos 5. I know this is apples to oranges, but I like apples and oranges.

How would the 5 years effect source code? Would this allow people to just use Linux 2.4 or what ever is 5+ years old and sell things without having to show their new source? I would foresee a forking of code coming if ip expired after 5 years.

What if a tire blows out (has happen to me)? What if something goes wrong with the engine? When cars are moving 170-180 KPH with-in cm's of each other, what happens when one car stops working?
