Our rights: Banning the PC? Must Read.

A WIPO congregation comprised of delegates from all UN nations has recently proposed a treaty that deals with “signal theft”. Certain nations, namely the US, have pushed to make it international law to outlaw the decryption of anything, but however that only effects the little people such as us. Certain corporations and governments are still allowed to decrypt materials as they please. Now I suppose all of this only very slightly encroaches on our rights, but however there is more.
Quote:
From Article 16, Alternative V:
2. In particular, effective legal remedies shall be provided against those who:
...
(iii) Participate in the manufacture, importation, sale, or any other act that makes available a device or system capable of decrypting or helping to decrypt an encrypted program-carrying signal.

Now, read that again, but very carefully. Yes that’s right, it really is that vague. With that type of language they are basically saying anyone who uses a computer is capable of decrypting, and should be punished for having that possibility. It also completely shuts down the entire computer market, and leaves it open only to certain companies (Microsoft) to produce these “computers” that are incapable of doing much of anything. Can you say Big Brother?

Furthermore this treaty also bans the pencil and paper, I mean it’s a device you can use to decrypt something with. And how can you forget calculators too? They solve cryptic problems; therefore they too are banned by this treaty. Why stop there, I mean our brains are devices that can decrypt, why not ban us too?

Currently many nations are opposing this as they see what is really going to happen. However, this great (USA) country is pushing for it. The government doesn’t care about the common man, it only wants to help the rich guys so it too can retain its power. Support the underdogs, and if your feeling really ambitious go to the WIPO website and send them something to think about.

When is all said and done: If computers are to be outlawed, then I too shall be outlawed.

I dont know if this is somthing I did incorrect, but I had to use a table to display the information in my news post to display correctly. However the top of the table is about 6 line breaks down from the top. Nowhere in my HTML do I include p or br. Is this a known problem or am I just doing somthing wrong? Thanks.

(Btw, you can see the problem here)

Did you check to see if you disable your the rights to edit templates for the group you are assigned to? If its enabled and it still doesn't show the templates menu item, then you should talk to one of the big cheeses cause some code is messed up someplace.

I really like the whole layout of your site, very impressive. The only thing I would change is the color of the google ad at the top of the page so it fits with your site better. Nice job.

Actually...when I try it the other way I get this
Quote:

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/landof00/public_html/header.php on line 112

I didn't see any difference in line 112 than what I was supposed to be, maybe your missing a line or 2 above. I would do a couple things to make it work. Replace your header.php with a unedited version from XOOPS, then also check to see if you haven't enabled protection onhttp://landofmidnight.com/ on your webserver. Good luck, and I hope that helped a little.

Hey,
Check out digital01.org and tell me what you think. Also if you have any idea about how I can change the page to make it look a little less default I would appriciate that as well. Thanks.
