Ask the 'Geek Candidate' for California Governor

No, not Arnold Schwarzenegger. We're talking abut Georgy Russell, who studied computer science at UC Berkeley, often wears ThinkGeek clothing, has a blog, reads Slashdot, and knows how to run Linux. Since this California electoral free-for-all has turned into a worldwide spectator sport as bizarre as any other 'Reality TV' show currently airing, Slashdot might as well get in on the media frenzy and interview a candidate, and Georgy is the obvious choice. We'll email Georgy 10 of the highest-moderated questions, and publish her answers (and, yes, the chosen questions in the same post) as soon as she replies.

    Since you have no possibility of winning, why did you choose to waste $3k+ on this? I mean, come on, you will not win, period. Why not donate $3k to the EFF, or something useful like that, instead of running in a race you can not win.

    Actually, it isn't always someone else's fault. It's typically only someone else's fault when someone else is to blame.

  7. protect the state from theft by fermion · · Score: 2, Flamebait
    In the past, your state allowed a few special interests to rewrite your laws concerning energy regulation, which subsequently allowed a couple rednecks from Texas to steal billions of dollars from your citizens and in the process bring California to it's knees.

    A similar situation, with less disastrous effect, occurred with Oracle. What are your plans to protect your state and it's cities from such special interests in the future.

    From her website:

    "Georgy was the co-founder of a storage software company, and an avid dancer. She has filed for several patents, and currently works innovating new technologies for a leading software company."

    So, I take it she has filed software patents.

    A better question would be, "Why do you think the slashdot crowd will support you, a Windows and IE user (check your gallery page) who has filed for software patents (and most likely in a non-open-source way). Moreover, how much software does your company open-source?"

    Yes, your judges are very busy up there. Here in the U.S.A we are a republic/democracy and rather have our legislatores do legislation.

    From this page...

    Over the past year four Canadian courts have ruled that marriage, recognized under the common law as "the union of one man and one woman," is inconsistent with constitutional values in modern Canadian society and offends the equality rights of homosexuals under section 15 of the Charter. These courts have determined that the existing legal framework for marriage is too narrowly defined and does not offer equitable treatment for non-traditional unions.

    Two of the courts acknowledged the unique role of Parliament in formulating a proper response to this question. They gave the federal and provincial legislatures until July 2004 to rectify this situation. On June 10, however, the Ontario Court of Appeal acted unilaterally. It pre-empted further discussion by Parliament by striking down the common law definition of marriage and reformulating it as "the voluntary union for life of two persons." The court ordered that this remedy take effect immediately.

    Aren't you concerned that the publicity photos available on your website make you out to be too young and attractive to have sufficient credibility? If you look at successful politicians, most are neither young nor physically attractive, as these qualities tend to make people believe that a candidate is neither sufficiently experienced, or simply is not trustworthy.
