Indiana Launches Statewide Productivity System

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the lots-of-docs-about-corn dept.

TaylorJo writes "Lt. Governor of Indiana Kathy Davis today unveiled a new technology program designed to give all Hoosiers free access to a full suite of computer software tools. The SimIndiana software permits residents to access their personal files and applications from any computer at any time. The software can be downloaded on the SimIndiana site, but requires Windows, and registration on the site, to use it. The program also provides an email address and remote storage on SimIndiana servers."

  1. Will this help Gary, Indiana? by strictnein · · Score: -1, Offtopic
    I'm confused. This looks to be an interesting set of softare, but how will this help my friends in Gary, Indiana?

    Did you just say, "Gary, Indiana"?

    Hi, I'm Carolyn D. Rogers and I'm the president of the Gary Common Council! I would like to welcome you to my city! Now... it's time for a song! WELL, HOT DAMN!

    Gary, Indiana!
    What a wonderful name,
    Named for Elbert Gary of judiciary fame.
    Gary, Indiana, as a Shakespeare would say,
    Trips along softly on the tongue this way--
    Gary, Indiana, Gary Indiana, Gary, Indiana,
    Let me say it once again.
    Gary, Indiana, Gary, Indiana, Gary, Indiana,
    That's the town that "knew me when."
    If you'd like to have a logical explanation
    How I happened on this elegant syncopation,
    I will say without a moment of hesitation
    There is just one place
    That can light my face.
    Gary, Indiana,
    Gary Indiana,
    Not Louisiana, Paris, France, New York, or Rome, but--
    Gary, Indiana,
    Gary, Indiana,
    Gary Indiana,
    My home sweet home.


    I did it for the music! And for Earth DOG!

    Bobby Knight is only 48 games away from breaking Dean Smith's record for number of wins for an NCAA Division I coach. He is good.

    As a hoosier by choice (I've lived elsewhere and have come back),

    Rejected Daylight Savings Time?

    Are you such a fucking moron that you can't get a job where your hours are flexible if you want to deal with the light in a differing manner? I mean, in the winter, if you don't want to go to work in the dark, get up an hour later. Or does the local burger joint just not work this way?

    Daylights savings time was invented for two purposes -- the Farmers -- whom some would say are too ignorant to get up a few minutes earlier to feed and milk the cows at their optimal time (animals are very dependant on the sun for their daily activities) and during the war when it was theorized that being awake during the essential light hours meant that there was some sort of savings going on in fuel and electricity.

    As this doesn't make any sense in todays sense of technology and with a strong economy (even with Bush's attempts to screw things up -- even at a weakened state, we still have the strongest economy in the world) -- it makes sense that any rational thinking person would reject daylight savings time.

    Just because others do this, doesn't make it right for us to do it.

    Note: one of the problems with our local airport and it becoming a truely 'international' one has been the fact that our time frames are different than others. Why the other hubs find this a problem I don't know.

    This is highly off topic, and as such I'm posting this anonymously...
