ISP Information:
The Java answer to LDAP. It really means "Java implementation of the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol."
ISP Glossary:
Java Directory Access Protocol - Do any of you think the net is *that powerful* it can actually unseat the man in office?Well, moveon.org thought it could save Bill Clinton from theconsequences of his sleaziness. Didn't work. Howard Dean thought hemight wend his way to the Democratic nomination, by making much betteruse of the net than any of his competitors. Didn't work.The net and its users can help. I think they have derailed theDiebold e-voting machines, which were way too easy to hack. They candistribute news that various candidates would like to suppress. Icertainly wish the net had more influence, if not power, because it'smore libertarian than the general public and I'm libertarian myself.However, the majority of Americans are not that much influenced bywhat they see on the net, compared to what they get from elsewhere.Maybe in a dozen years the net authors will have that kind ofinfluence. Not this time, IMHO.Walt[TELECOM Digest Editor's Note: Well, I tend toward being libertarianmyself and wish they stood even a chance in hell of getting elected,but that is so unrealistic in this country, where the Demopublicansand the Republicrats prevail. I will be interested however in seeingwhether Pastor Soaries and his buddy Bush put their heads togetherand decide 'because of the risk of terrorism' to have the electionin November called off, as per yesterday's CNN report and this week'sNewsweak Magazine. Both of those news sources seem rather certainthere will be some terrorist activities at the conventions later thismonth and next month. PAT]
