    Uhh, you do realize that if the Republican party didn't want to count minority votes, it was probably a bad idea for them to have passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964, right?


    Political parties in this country mean nothing. Forty years ago, the Democrats were very much the more racist of the two parties.

    I didn't know that Lyndon Baines Johnson was not a democrat...

    How on earth is it "underhanded" to help underprivileged people exercise their right to vote?

    Because those people will not vote the same way as the rich people?

    (Homeless bums shall not vote) Perhaps because:


    A) They don't pay taxes

    B) They don't own land

    C) They don't have families

    D) They don't have any interaction with most laws (from cars to copyright) ...and so on...

    The fact is there are far more reasons they _shouldn't_ vote than should. Homeless people have little to no stake in society or the future so their votes will tend to go in the most short sighted, self serving direction possible.

    This is the first time a comment on Slashdot almost made me puke (and I've seen many; look at my user #).

    You are actually saying that ***CITIZENS*** that don't superficially appear like you should not have the right to vote?

    You are actually saying that if life has short-changed you, you cannot actually vote?

    I will guess that, come November, you are not going to vote for the "nigger", because it would mean that he will work to even out the opportunities given to anyone to live honourably. Better to keep the current system where if you father has loads of dough, you will have a cushy life.

    what if your government thinks it is a good idea to limit performance for all drivers?

    Yes, like limiting what people can do on roads the State owns to insure that no accident that hurt innocent people happen.

    After all, the State's first duty is to insure the safety of it's citizens (and visitors).

    So, on the whole, it's a good idea.

    Rocking your car out of the snow requires absence of traction control. If you can't turn it off, good job Ford!

    Actually, no. Traction control will give you the maximum traction possible in snow, so you will not need to rock the car in the first place.

    Yup. This is why people are far more willing to plunk down $24,000 for a Toyota than $21,000 for a Ford 6000-SUX, because they know that in 2-3 years, the used Toyota will fetch $5000 more than the Ford.

    All so very complicated, because I thought it was "vive la France", and therefore countries were in the feminine -- I'm probably wrong about that too. :-P

    We, the french, like sex a lot, to the point of putting sex into our words. And to do like the english, we carefully avoid to do it logically... For example, animal names clearly avoid any logic:

    They have sexes too, irregardless of the actual sex of the actual animal we're talking about (but often, the female either has a specific name or a feminine version which is an e appended), so a mouse (souris) is feminine while a rat (rat) is masculine, a horse (cheval) masculine (female: jument), sheep (mouton) male (female: brebis), goat (chèvre) male, a spider (araignée) female, boar (sanglier) masculine (female: laie), snake (serpent) female, tiger (tigre) male, otter (loutre) female, squid (calmar) male, octopus (pieuvre) female, and so on...

    Been there, done that.

    I once deliberately and totally wrecked a company.

    I was asked by the boss to do a blatantly illegal act; I was to violate the election laws by having every employee do a political donation equal to the legal maximum ($100), all paid by the company. My job was to cook the payroll records, namely insert invisible bonii that would appear as bonii to auditors but not on the paycheques, the bonii of course being the employees' political contribution (Here, companies are not allowed to donate to political parties, and contributions are limited to $100 per year; this insures that the richest people do not have more influence than the people).

    I dragged my heels while I found the best way to trash the servers and backups, and boy did they go down in flames.

    I was fired, of course (it was great to tell the boss what I did and why I did it; there was nothing they could do against me because I had them by the balls), and the company never recovered either; it went under a few weeks later.

    Certain forms of piracy certainly do! It is common knowledge that certain gangs in the London area mass produce pirate DVDs to sell to fund other, more sinister, activities.

    In that case, P2P "do-it-yourself" "piracy" will neatly solve that problem by removing the market from under the commercial "pirates" feet.

    In a sense, criminalizing "piracy" will only increase the crime rate...

    And who benefits from a "higher" crime rate? Fascists who want to turn $COUNTRY into a police state.
