Now we are raising the bar even higher, as we bring our entire Order, Ship , Bill system to our customers fingertips with real time updates available immediately!

How is California's lack of power plants causing natural gas prices to rise? Plants that don't exist don't use gas and don't contribute to shortages. California's importing power from elsewhere, so why didn't these other generators commit to natural gas suppliers? Hint: transmission losses aren't a recent discovery. Either you're confused or you're trying to use the cold winter as an excuse to create a strawman for your anti-Californian views. Tim, Jim and Bill have already given good responses to the economic side of things, so I won't comment further in that vein. > It would be nice if Californians took responsibility for their lifestyle, > built the power plants in California and dealt with environmental > issues themselves. You have a choice, if you don't want power > plants, don't use power. Or: It would be nice if everybody took responsibility for their lifestyle, took care of their own power needs and dealt with environmental issues themselves. You have a choice, if you don't want higher power bills, don't use power.

RE: keyboard logging
by McMeikan, Andrew 18 Dec '00

18 Dec '00

use on screen keyboards using mouse action or use non-bios routines that remap key codes. If you need this level of security you probably need to look at the whole environment and do some serious thinking. If you use standard keyboards then the scancodes can be intercepted, if you have standard PC's with non-custom OS then almost anything can be sniffed out.

I may have killed my point in editing. Laws are the result of people using their property to advance their agenda. When harassment laws were proposed, companies chose not to use their property to fight these laws. Today when they give into these laws rather than fight them, they are again making a decision about how they use their property. Companies tend to value their property more than they value the free expression of their employees. Is this surprising? Is it wrong? Should companies be compelled to value the free expression of their employees higher? I don't like the current situation with zero-tolerance policies and all that any more than you do, but it's not the result of living in an unfree society. It's the result of living in a society with different values than our own. In other words, to get the freedoms we want, we have to take away other freedoms. > You're really missing the point, aren't you? Go back and think about > the issues more deeply. I'll always miss the point of people complaining they don't live in a free society when they use reasoning that indicates they don't really want to live in a free society. In a previous incarnation of this message, which appears to have gone into the darkness, I made a rushed point about free societies either being impossible or being a truth. I'll skip that this time and just ask this: do you mean to be complaining about not living in a free society or are you really complaining about not living in a society with a higher value on personal freedoms?

New/Improved Taxpatriate's Page
by Duncan Frissell 18 Dec '00

18 Dec '00

The IRS is getting lazy but the Official Taxpatriates Page isn't. The "Service" is late with the 3rd Quarter taxpatriates list but our page continues to improve anyway. Apparently The IRS' International District which has issued the taxpats list ever since it began, has been reorganized out of existence. Its functions have been transferred to the Philadelphia Service Center and the famous Doug Rogers who has signed every list issued so far has been given new responsibilities. We wait with baited breath for the 3rd Quarter list so we can find out who's in charge these days. Meanwhile, we've added some more articles on taxpatriation http://www.forbes.com/forbes/1997/0616/5912016a.html http://www.frissell.com/taxpat/Whatabout.htm and added JFile and MobileDB databases of taxpatriates for those who use Palm devices. (These databases have also been contributed to the Memoware site: http://www.memoware.com/cgi-bin/mwsearch.cgi?Any=taxpatriate.) http://www.frissell.com/taxpat/taxpats.pdb http://www.frissell.com/taxpat/taxpatpb.pdb Question for the taxpatriates who read this list (we know you're out there). Have you filled out IRS form 8854 http://ftp.fedworld.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f8854.pdf and ratted out your income and assets at the time of expatriation? If your income is more than $110K per year or your net worth is more than $500K, you are assumed to have expatriated to avoid taxes. As always, the Official Taxpatriates Page can be found at: http://www.frissell.com/taxpat/taxpats.html DCF ---- "You don't have to be nice to nation states you meet on the way up if you're not coming back down!"

universal censorware-bypass program
by Bennett Haselton 18 Dec '00

18 Dec '00

A new program, "Peacefire", is available on our Web page that can disable all popular Windows blocking programs with the click of a button -- released just as Congress has passed the first mandatory-blocking-software bill. Since the House and Senate passed corresponding versions of the Labor HHS Education Appropriations Bill (HR 4577) on Friday, with an amendment included to require the use of blocking software in schools and libraries that receive federal funding, it is likely to become law soon. The American Library Association announced the passage of the House bill in the December 15 issue of the ALA Washington Office Newsline: http://peacefire.org/censorware/alawon.12-15-2000.txt In response, Peacefire has released a bypass program -- eponymously named "Peacefire" -- which can disable all popular Windows blocking software (Cyber Patrol, SurfWatch, Net Nanny, CYBERsitter, X-Stop, Cyber Snoop, PureSight) with the click of a button. The program is available at http://www.peacefire.org/bypass/ A floppy disk with a copy of this program on it, could make a great Christmas present for the right person :) -Bennett ------ bennett(a)peacefire.org http://www.peacefire.org (425) 649 9024 ************************************************************************** Subscribe to Freematt's Alerts: Pro-Individual Rights Issues Send a blank message to: freematt(a)coil.com with the words subscribe FA on the subject line.
