Ask Jamie Love, Consumer Technology Activist
Jamie Love is head of the Ralph Nader-founded Consumer Project on Technology [CPT], one of the first groups to advocate Linux use in government and corporate settings. CPT also works to loosen or remove patent restrictions that raise the end user cost of technologies ranging from computer software to AIDS medication, and against intellectual property laws and treaties that could hamper new technology development. Jamie is one of the most respected technology lobbyists in Washington, even though his entire annual budget probably wouldn't buy a month's worth of lunches for Microsoft's PR firm. What's it like in the lobbying trenches? What can you do to help? Jamie's the one to ask. One question per post, please. 10 of the highest-moderated ones will go to Jamie by email, and we'll run his answers as soon as he gets them back to us.
FRIST P0ST!
Why are there so many secret societies?

Dear Cmdr Taco:
Please don't slashdot our Consumer Project on Technology [CPT] site! We need to get the next version of our propaganda (0.9.4) out the door, and your link is slowing down our servers!
Really, you need to consider what you are doing when you link to sites on the front page. We must protect the children!

Ever thrown your hands in the air and wave them like you just don't care?
Do you like the fact that you have to log in to post comments at first? Do you like the fact that some of the editors delete comments they don't like? Do you like the irony of the fact that the lameness filter is the lamest part of Slashdot?
Finally, do you like the fact that, pretty soon, nerds like me are going to get sick of the bullshit around here and Slashdot will fade into the annals of 'net history?
Me, personally, I'd rather that Taco and the gang pull their heads out of their asses and get Slashdot back to where it once was: an open forum for discussion, not a place with a bunch of bullshit rules (laws?) that don't stop the Trolls but do get in the way of legitimate posters.
As I too, am thinking about an online gay anal sex rights community. I wanna slash cmdrtaco's dot.
You?
You don't know what pain is!
Dear Mr Love :
Please describe to the audience your best sexual encounter with an animal. We know there is no shortage of anecdotes from that department.
Also, stories about diddling little boys would be good too. Thanks.
Your Pal,
JonKatz
At least *this* Nader voter would not have voted for Gore even if Nader were not an option.
If Gore had wanted to win, he would have wooed voters like me, instead of shitting on us with the Defense Of Marriage Act and the like. The fucking moronic thing is that my local gay and lesbian activist group *still* asked me to vote for Gore.

Pouring napalm into my eyes and igniting it is much less painful than having to look at that horrendous background color.
