These images will affect you!

Look at http://www.onamercyship.com/ to see photographs from a Mercy Ship. All that I can say is that they will affect you! The story of the photographer is at http://www.crosswalk.com/news/religiontoday/1330975.html

Is secure music possible?

Is it possible for music to be secured from unauthorized copying? I posted one idea at
http://www.halfbakery.com/idea/Secure_20music_20with_20public_2fprivate_20keys but after thinking a while a problem with that was found. Cory Doctorow gave a speech to Microsoft explaining why it isn't possible.

Even if digital copies were somehow prohibited it would be near impossible to prevent analog copies. Just put a microphone in front the speaker and record.

So the question is: Since it won't work is it worth the effort to try it when it also makes it hard for users to do legitimate things?

There are no red or blue states!

There are no states that are red or blue! If 51% of the vote went to the red side that doesn't mean the state is a red state -- it just means that it a little (only 4%) more red than blue. It is a bit extreme to call that state a "red state".
