It sounds like they need training on cleaning out the dust. There's a special training program at Fort Bliss for that!

Except the on-going accusations of a bunch of racists, Koch-funding ex-Birchers, "wingnut" birthers, violent milita types, and paid Republican plants?

Do you deny that tea partiers showed up toting guns to a peaceful rally on public property [1], or that the Koch brothers funded them [2]?
There's baseless accusations, and then there's facts. You can't complain about "accusations" that are rooted in fact and provable.

No a reputation gained by walking by city offices, peeking in the window and seeing half of them playing solitaire, minesweeper or scrabble at 2PM.

You can see it in Tempe, Arizona where the offices are at ground level (or at least they were in 1992) Same people every day, playing games all freaking day. I worked at a coffee shop and I noticed it once, so I started checking every day at various times during the day during my breaks. Solitaire and minesweeper every single time I walked by.

Here's an article about what the Governor of Montana did.

Sorry but as a tax payer, this pisses me off, especially when they rip an attitude when I call because I need a service I'm paying for, or go to buy a permit and they are staring at the screen for 20 minutes before they'll acknowledge me, despite coughing, AHEMing, and making every effort to get their attention.

Firefox? The particular application I have open at this very moment? Perhaps uninterestingly, I have exactly 17 tabs open right now, with no (noticeable) adverse consequenses. 18, if you don't include opening the parent link, of course. I am a somewhat-regular user of fark.com (not sure if I should admit that) which, by its nature, allows itself to opening MANY pages at once. If you would prefer, I can list every link I have open at this exact moment, for reference:

"was needed to ensure that the state could guarantee that citizens could open and read electronic documents in the future,"

So what's that chance that anything that exists today (open or not) will be readable in 20 years? Tried to read your msdos 5 1/4" floppies lately? Still have any computer capable of running Electric Pencil?

Now of course, those are not "open" examples.

Been to a gopher site recently?

By the way, The Well is up for sale if anyone has a few million in cash sitting around idle:
