US Opens Portal for Online Comments on Regulations
Judg3 writes " My most recent newsletter from the Center for Democracy and Technology included a link to the newly unveiled Regulations.Gov site that allows individuals to more easily find and comment on proposed rules being considered by federal agencies. Comment on proposed rules ranging from the Secretary of Defense, Coast Guard, Veteran Affairs Admission, to even the Post Office." Here's a newsletter about the site.
can't seem to find that Paypal link anywhere...
How long before someone whips up a perl script and starts crapflooding the Senate? We might finally get some decent legislation for a change.
Karma: Good (despite my invention of the Karma: sig)
Now all the newbies can send their comments on that "new regulation" where they're going to tax all E-mails sent over the Internet, right?
You call this a signature?
The comment feature rules. Because you know how everything anybody ever posts on there will always be sagely reviewed and taken into the fullest of considerations. I'm thinking of quitting my job and just trolling and writing flames on there all day.
Vote with a bullet.

Those who would give up liberty in exchange for security and DRM should switch to Microsoft Palladium!
Let me guess: Step 1: Open a portal for comments from the public Step 2: Get massive amounts of Pr0n come-ons Step 3: Determine that the public wants viagra. Step 4: Get censored by Ashcroft. Step 5: Cat everything to /dev/null

Lagito ergo expectabo
Wow...
They already ignore my calls, emails, & letters...
Now they can ignore my posts as well!
As if they are actually going to do anything with this board... They'll have an auto-responder set up to make you think they read your post and that they actually care about the little people (ie the ones that don't fund their campaigning).
Oh well...
I'm sure some bafoon will think it's doing some good
Oh! And this one time, at band camp...
If you combine last weeks story on suing annoying trolls with this story, it looks like we found a way to pay off the deficit, and possibly repeal income taxes.
I hope that someday we will be able to put away our fears and prejudices and just laugh at people. - Jack Handey
