Computer running society???

It depends on your point of view. \n\nIf you believe the ends justify the means, then yes -  it would be an ideal solution. There's some correlation to some laws today. Terrorism laws in general. Most Americans accept or tolerate their emails/phone calls being recorded in the hopes of catching the .001% who might do harm.\n\nThere's a bigger philosophical issue, though. Is it truly a society free of crime or merely free of expression? The above scenario removes free-will from the equasion. People are forcibly prevented from thinking/doing what is deemed illegal. Without the ability to make mistakes, you elimate the ability to learn from your mistakes. If you can't even consider doing something, you can't weigh the consequences.\n\nAdd to that a lot of our laws and moral absolutes have exceptions. Would you steal bread to feed your starving family? Your example does not address the grey area of law. By criminalizing thought, you make everybody a criminal even if they haven't actually harmed another.\n\nHope that adds something,\nOdd

i tend to agree.. i have been a pc jockey for a bit too long myself and its occuring more and more to me lately that there actually is a world outside.  sometimes im shocked when the sun hits my face, so maybe it's time to stuff the box in the closet and take out my walking shoes.  id like to write a book too, but i find the time passing on the internet most days, then another and another.  thing is, every day is the same on the internet and there doesnt seem to be any real point to it.  hm

From my understanding, the only real threat was from systems in the 70's that ran on programs based in Cobal.  These old systems ended up proforming an important role, but had a major flaw.  However, the average computer would not be affected it was the government systems that would.  Like the ones controling nukes and the like.  Here is something to support what I said.

Do you mean "What is the effect of computers on different social groups?"  You will have to write it correctly to get intelligent answers.

I wonder if you could look into some type of computer ani terrorism job?  I mean this is an open network and I remember some talk on one of the channels that the internet is an open channel for terrorism and that it was closely monitored.  Maybe punch in some keywords, anti-terrorism,interent, computer, jobs to monitor, security,internet terrorism............play around with the words and see what comes up?

Well I'm doing my part.  My computer and I have regular conversations.  Well.  Almost regular.  I have been working at integrating TTS and Speech Recognition into a single application.  With the aid of an animated Avatar, this software seems to work as a real agent.  Although hopefully not as bad as agent Smith from the Matrix.  Check it out on YouTube:\n\nhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYu6_cNRCD4

Is this a work or school PC?  Sounds like they are blocking it with a Group Policy Object (GPO) from the network.\n\nWhat are you trying to run?  Sometimes if you go into Help files on certain applications (like Windows XP), there is a backdoor to the command line.
