The Future End of Classic Computing

I was beginning to think Jack Valenti was censoring me... Adam Schiff, another congressman from California, is proposing a similiar law. Adam has stated that he doesn't expect the law to pass, but that its sole purpose is to gain leverage against the high-tech industry regarding the copyright issue and in favor of the entertainments industry. In other words, they we'll all be sufficiently scared that we'll finally give up some ground in the copyright issue. What ground is left to give up? They've already lengthened the terms of protection when they should have been shortening them. To my way of thinking, that constitutes abuse of process, and makes Fritz Hollings and Adam Schiff not merely traitors, but persona non grata. -dq -Douglas Hurst Quebbeman (DougQ at ixsnayamspayIgLou.com) [Call me "Doug"] Surgically excise the pig-latin from my e-mail address in order to reply "The large print giveth, and the small print taketh away." -Tom Waits
