Political Ads Reach P2P World
samuel4242 writes " Some of the Creative Commons folks wrapped a skin around the Internet Archive to create the P2P-Politics site filled with ads about this election. You've heard of this election, right? It's an interesting spin on the notion of P2P because the ads themselves are cached on the Internet Archives big servers, but email forwards links from P to P. Sort of like passing a pointer instead of the data structure. Some of the ads are thoughtful, some include stars, and some are a bit scary. For some reason, there seem to be very few from the Bush supporters and it's anyone's guess why."
Bush is literally a genius. People don't understand his logic. Why won't they see the beauty of chaos? Peace has a price. The price of peace is constant war. In order to have peace on earth and prevent wars, we must be the ones to start all the wars. If we start and win all the wars then we can install a world government through force and act as the world global police. This is the best way to be secure, if we are the police we will always have the best weapons. The war in Iraq is a war for peace. Why do you refuse to see the beauty of war? War is peace. The war in Iraq was a catasrophic success.
People don't exist to serve systems, systems exist to serve people.
Bush is as smart as a lima bean. Kerry is as smart as a pinto bean.
If you vote for either of them, you're wasting a vote. Third party all the way. Peroutka, Badnarik, Nader, Cobb...they all are vastly superior to Bush and Kerry.

well if there were this story likely wouldn't have been published on the /. homepage. i hate bush, but i hate bias as news more.
so when can we see the law suits started, the democrates have already higherd alot of laweres, they could start right after they finish trying to steal the election.
let's see, this post was.... FLAMEBAIT for the logon name INSIGHTFUL for making paralells between 1984 and the Bush Regime REDUNDANT for making paralells between 1984 and the Bush Regime OFFTOPIC for obvious reasons
You gotta love a site that doesn't appear to support Firefox.
It said I lacked the proper plugin. I even installed the latest version of Quicktime and it still didn't work.
Peroutka isn't.
it's a fact!
Bush is logical. He looks out for our best interests. He wants to protect snd secure the world. You liberals are submissive and are only valueable as slaves. The people who matter believe in being logical and doing whats in their own best interest. You believe in letting people boss you around and this is why you don't deserve to be rich. You believe people like us should just give you a job or money, believing you are entitled to it, but if you were a better stronger more logical person you'd be rich yourself. Liberals have the insane idea that by sharing their own wealth (which means less wealth for them) that it actually helps the economy. The economy works best when we compete with each other, the best people will float to the top and the people at the bottom belong there because they arent as valueeable. Not all people are worth the same and not all people are valueable to the world. This place is over populated.
People don't exist to serve systems, systems exist to serve people.
I'd venture to say he is. From his site:
And we have John Kerry just saying he will do the same thing Bush is doing, only "better" and "stronger". You be the judge.
I'm assuming your objection to Peroutka is based on the fact that he's very conservative. Well, I'd rather have a real conservative in office than one of the neo-conservative or neo-liberal douchebags on the major party tickets. I don't agree with Peroutka's positions on seperation of church and state, women in the military, and his very strict anti-abortion platform (I support exemptions when the mother's life is in danger). But at least this guy seems to have a conscience.

"...there seem to be very few from the Bush supporters and it's anyone's guess why."
The Internet is where the godless go to view child porn. Once you find Jesus, you'll vote for Bush and quit using the Internet.
The coward is correct about Peroutka. I was going to say that I would give Bush four more terms before letting this nutjob take the helm, but then I realized that the moment he took office, everyone would stop taking the presidency seriously. Having a complete loon occupying the White House would just be harmless entertainment.
t ting-elected. Try hopping over to Votepair.org, and support your candidate without turning him into a dreaded spoiler.
If you see any difference between the two candidates at all, and you're in a close state, you should vote for the lesser evil, not the guy-you-really-want-but-doesn't-have-a-shot-at-ge
You want the truthiness? You can't handle the truthiness!
Hey, it's almost Halloween; don't leave out Bobby Pickett's Monster Slash , a rework of his 1962 Monster Mash that sings the praises of Bush's environmental policy. You'll need flash to see the movie. Enjoy!
Most of them are from the "Bush in 30 Seconds" contest from moveon.org. The Bush campaign hasn't had a comperable contest.
They're mpegs.
I view source, copy out the address, and use wget. That way I also get to keep the file.
I ripped these older Presidential debates from various websites. It was a pain to get them. Dowload the torrent here or here or here
Low quality Real Video files ripped from streamings from the web.
If you have other debates, 1988, 1992, 1996, 2000, Presidential and/or VP, or higher-quality of the above, PLEASE POST!
But he's got a Badwin as a viceprez! How bad can it be?
I hope it's either Stephen or Alec. The other 90 Baldwins in Hollywood haven't done anything interesting.

You might not like Kerry, but you can hardly fault his intelligence. How can you back that up? Then again, if you're voting for someone who is only a spoiler for Kerry, and therefore tacitly reelecting Bush, maybe you're not so smart yourself. The smart person who rejects Bush and Kerry votes for Kerry, because he's not destroying the country, and donates time and money to a third party. So next time the party can increase its chances not only of winning, but of breaking the party duopoly. Just voting for them merely makes you part of the 0.5% that keeps them a laughingstock in our sad system that makes elections a choice not among candidates, but among possible winners.

No, Kerry has made clear that he won't shoehorn Iraq into the "forever war" on Terror. Unlike Bush, Kerry doesn't have the criminally vested interests in oil, Halliburton and neocon apocalypse. Bush will lead us into a draft the same way he's led us into a permanent recession, busted budget, and completely divided country: by "accident", somebody else's fault.
Just to indulge the inanity of considering voting for Peroutka: he's running on the "GOD FAMILY REPUBLIC" ticket (his words). Bush isn't zealously rightwing enough for this crank. For this wingnut, Bush is "pro-abortion", the Christian Coalition is failing to "properly educate God's people", and approaches the US as a christian kingdom he'd rule benevolently. C'mon - these people deserve to run, because the functionally insane deserve to vote. But you don't have to join them.

Don't worry. They'll learn to to use computers as soon as they're allowed to.

This email/WWW wrapper is exactly what the email MIME header "Content-disposition:" is for. You send me a message, including "Content-disposition: " including some state arguments describing the object that the URL points to. When I read (not just receive) the message, my email reader gets the object at the URL, subject to my preferences, including "retrieve on receive". If your URL points to coral or some other web cache, or your proxy caches URLs for your entire organization, the URL persists, or your email reader just caches it. This way, the sender sends "attachments" only to those who want it, when we want it. And instead of just including URLs in messages, there's a well defined behavior for encoding and retrieving them, that the UI makes seamless.
;).
Content-disposition has been part of the MIME standard for a decade, during which the WWW and URLs have passed it by, to their mutual detriment. I've never seen a good, certainly not popular, email client that implemented it. I'd hack it into my Evolution source code, but I don't know if Ximian/Novell would integrate it, and it's worthless unless both ends use it. I wish the Net would catch up with MIME - and not just to stop it from its incessant "walking against the wind"

Corddry: How does one report the facts in an unbiased way when the facts themselves are biased?
Stewart: Im sorry, Rob, did you say the facts are biased?
Corddry: Thats right Jon. From the names of our fallen soldiers to the gradual withdrawal of our allies to the growing insurgency, its become all too clear that facts in Iraq have an anti-Bush agenda.

Maybe voting for Kerry over Bush will only delay the inevitable.
OOG THE CAVEMAN you are not.
Unbelievable that someone hasn't belted you with the obligatory "You must be new here" comment. Slashdot isn't unbiased news, nor does it pretend to be. The "News for Nerds" subtitle nonwithstanding, it's a discussion community that tends to focus on some topics more than others.
If you have half a brain, you'll get your real news from a variety of international sources and try to sort through the bias to see the facts.
Don't blame Slashdot for your own stupidity.
Those who support George W. Bush probably are not book readers. They cannot have seen these 3 movies and read these 35 books: Unprecedented Corruption: A guide to conflict of interest in the U.S. government.
Thinking about the presidential campaign has caused me to discover something I didn't know before. Most people have little idea of the activities of their government. Instead, they believe the sound bites.

Anyone who plays city of heroes go to Pinnicle server and Atlas city. There you will see "Vote Bush 2004" character actively advertising and has been for some time.
Some of the players have taken offense by it, and created rebuttal characters but it appears that the advert is intentionally there.
