Change.gov Uses Google Moderator System
GMonkeyLouie writes "The website for President-elect Obama's transition team, Change.gov, has unveiled a section called Open for Questions, which lets users submit questions and vote them up or down, in an effort to let the collaborative mind produce the questions that are the most important to the American populace (or at least the web-savvy portion). The page is powered by Google Moderator. It was unveiled yesterday, and CNet reports that when they went to post last night, '159,890 had voted on 1,986 questions from 3,255 people.'"
so these brilliant people actively choose to remain ignorant about such affective technology?
No, I mean affective - as in "tending to affect" (try learning to read a dictionary). Anyone who chooses to actively remain ignorant of the capabilities and limitations of computers and their influence on individuals and society ... ain't as smart as they like to believe.
It seems that to oppose Obama in anyway is "inappropriate behavior".
When will people start to be "modded" away for opposing the One?
Fuck the 1.5 presidents in office, the future president, the one after that.
Fuck chicago politicians selling off their old senate seat (BULLSHIT OBAMA ISNT INVOLVED).
Fuck the theft (thats what this bailout shit is, not socialism, not capitalism, simple outright theft on an unprecedented scale) of taxpayer money to hand to private corporations.
Congress has no more power to give money to Chrysler than they have to stick it in their pocket and walk out. They have no right to hand close to a trillion to the treasury to dish out as they see fit (you can not delegate constitutionally granted authorities). Obama is the head of this cadre of handout thieves.
Fuck him, fuck his slick douchebag image which has fooled so many, fuck his plans to rearrange the NCAA playoffs.
Fuck him straight up his worthless two bit thieving ass with a pressure treated railroad tie.
And fuck the retards who thought that a politician from Chicago, of all fucking places, is the honest god-sent savior who's bringing us change.
The slashdot crowd won't recognize how wrong all of this is until Microsoft goes to congress, hat in hand, "too big to fail". We used to prosecute for anti-trust, now our tax dollars directly fund it.
I can't believe that almost 10 years ago I was actually proud when I got permanent residency.
Sensible? Larry Silverstein said in an interview on PBS that they decided to pull the building (7) because of the fire. What exactly do all of you smart fellers on /. suppose "pull the building" means?
The Towers? They fell because some airplanes hit them. I think that is understood. Why building 7 fell, much less caught on fire, is where the investigation needs to be. I guess I am just a conspiracy theorist nut though.
All points of time and space are connected.
