Now how is THIS for communist bullshit

[AlexMax]

I found this story on kerneldump.com

Read this:

http://cryptome.org/sssca.htm

In a nutshell, it would outlaw...

* Assembling a home-built PC.
* Using a non-secure computer (ie, a computer built before the would-be implementation of the SSSCA) on a network.
* Widespread development of open-sourced (non-copyrighted and ?digitally unsigned?) software.
* Use of open-sourced software (essentially the entire software platform for the UNIX and Linux operating systems, on which Computer Science research relies).
* University and corporate research on systems, debugging, security, and watermarking.

I suggest you sign this now:

before this bill even gets off the fscking ground.

*looks through GD*
*realizes that he posted the exact same thing a few days ago*
*wonders how Alexmax didn't see it*
Oh well I already signed it.
This bill has been sitting in congress since August and has gone no-where. There really is no way in hell this will pass. Even Bush is against it.

I thought that the post refered to a bill that simply concerned spyware.

But oh well, what the hell do I know? I've had a shitload of stuff to do this week anyway.

Meh. Whatever gets more people to sign the petition.
If this bill gets passed I'm moving to Switzerland.
