McCain vs. Obama on Tech Issues
eldavojohn writes "Ars is running a brief article that looks at stances from Chuck Fish of McCain's campaign and Daniel Weitzner from Obama's in regards to technical issues that may cause us geeks to vote one way or the other. From openness vs. bandwidth in the net neutrality issue to those pesky National Security Letters, there's some key differences that just might play at least a small part in your vote. You may also remember our discussions on who is best for geeks."
Reminds me of an old adage from the 20th century:
"Those who can't do, teach."

They haven't. Hillary is very much still in this thing.
Basically, if you don't bother counting all the votes, Obama is winning. However, it you do decide that everyone's vote should matter, Hillary is leading the popular vote.
So after all the whining about Bush and how he didn't win the popular vote, it looks like the Democratic Party is going to ignore the popular vote in their election and select Obama anyway. I guess they're taking "God damn America" to heart, because ignoring the will of the people is definitely un-American.
Yeah well... Unlike pirating music smoking pot IS a crime. Just because you want it to be legal to smoke yourself stupid and lazy to the detriment to society doesn't change the fact that your breaking the law and law breakers go to jail.
While I personally think Marijuana should be legalized with the same types of restrictions as alcohol I really think your reasoning on why you won't vote for someone is ridiculous.
I will not vote for XXX because he wont let me break the law!!!! Seriously, grow up.
What are you talking about? There's still a chance Obama could be assassinated before he officially wins the party nomination.
Modern copyright is theft of culture from everyone and it retards the progress of the useful arts and sciences.
Yeah - he saw McSame (McCain) in the audiance... The guy has one foot in the grave anyway - he is the walking dead the guy is so old. The guy can't even afford to have sex with his wife without fearing of a heart attack.

What she is hoping won't come out is the federal election fraud charges that she will get a summons for this month.

"A subpoena is being prepared this month and will be served personally on Hillary, along with Chelsea, Pa Gov. Ed Rendell, Al Gore and other well known political and media figures."
"The media - except for World Net Daily- has also suspiciously refused to report on Hillary's last FEC report regarding her 2000 Senate campaign, filed in January 30, 2006. In a secret settlement of an FEC complaint by the plaintiff in Paul v Clinton, Peter Paul, the FEC fined Hillary's campaign $35,000 for hiding more than $720,000 in donations from Paul, and it required Hillary's campaign to file a 4th amended FEC report.
A fraud case would bury her chances.
The civil fraud trial of Bill Clinton, Grammy's producer Gary Smith and Clinton intimate and fundraiser Jim Levin, for defrauding Hillary's largest donor in 2000, which has been pending in Los Angeles since 2003, and now preparing for a November, 2008 trial has NEVER been announced by the mainstream media.

I'm more concerned about knowing there aren't 57 states in the US, or that you're not seeing dead people in the audience. Get that right first, then we can talk tech...
Browsing at +1 - no ACs, I ignore their posts. So refreshing!
I DO KNOW when someone takes food off of my family's table, tells me what kind of car I can drive or I have to spend my child's college fund to fill up my car because someone thinks (incorrectly, I might add) that a fuckin' caribou might be badly affected if we do the same thing in ANWR that we do in every state in the union, including about 7 miles away in Prudhoe Bay.
Guess how I'm voting?
Unfortunately there's not a dime's difference between the candidates there. McCain ALSO opposes drilling in ANWR. He even went as far as comparing it to drilling in the Grand Canyon, i.e., a national treasure.
If you've never been modded as "flamebait" or "troll," you've never tried to argue a minority viewpoint here!
"I could personally care LESS about Barack Obama's skin color"
I don't think that statement means what you think it means. You are directly stating that you *DO* care about his skin color.
That makes you a racist and/or a bigot. But most likely just an idiot who doesn't understand english.
And no, "could care less" and "couldn't care less" do not mean the same thing. At all.
