Comment Names Please (Score 3, Interesting) 848

As someone from Texas, I would appreciate the name of the legislator in the summary.

And now that you have made me read TFA, it doesn't mention the legislators name either. I guess Mr. Bad Astronomer felt like taking this opportunity to bash Texas without actually helping people get something done.

Because you cannot legislate intent, only indisputable fact.
They would have to go through the overly complicated tax code and fix every loophole thats is being exploited. And tomorrow the businesses would either find new loopholes or get legislation passed to implement more.

And don't forget many of the politicans who would have to do this are themselves benefiting from tax loopholes, or have friends/contributors who do.

The tax system needs to be drastically simplified or mostly done away with.

what about some sort of encryption setup where your doctor encrypts your records, gives them to you, and you can keep them on a server somewhere or a tiny flash drive in your wallet with a laminated piece of paper behind your drivers license telling the password/where/how to get the records?

if its LGPL, link to it, but don't modify it. If you need to modify it, make the modification in the form of a generic API extension and call it from the application. Make your extensions public.

If it is GPL, make it a service and call it through a socket.

but that is asking alot from an H1B visa worker who's working from an O'Reilly 'nutshell' book and bitching about how much better php is then C.
