This is the best post I seen all day. It is a pain in the ass when a sells rep tries to tell you what you need. The other day I went to get a scanner at BB, well I found a printer/scanner combo that was cheaper then all the other scanners. It was an inkjet printer. I don't trust inkjet printers, I give it less then a year before the printer part fails, maybe 2 if it is high quality (Lexmark, I am not sure). When I was getting it they tried to sell me more ink and a USB cable. I don't see that I will need more ink, I don't print much at home, and I already had the cable so no need there, the sales rep just walked off. but hay for $40 I am not going to complain to much, it served it use and when the printer dies I just might still have the scanner part for a while after that, hum $40 for about a year of scanning, and I got everything scanned that I was aiming to get scanned, I think I got a good deal.
Flordia 2000. I say we go back to the way the founding fathers wanted it. Instead of voting for a slate of electorals that have pre-promised their vote to a canidate. Lets bring polotics local again, and we vote for electors, that are well respected in the comunity, wise, etc.... Then let them go and think about the canidates for about a month and a half then they can vote for the prez.
One way or the other, I am sure we are just happy it is over, no 5 weeks of law suites. I did vote for Bush but I do believe Kerry did the horrible thing in conceding; instead putting what gore put us though in 2000. I hold now ill will to Senator Kerry and I wish him luck in what he does in the future.
There is a guy that has to much time, but hay were would we be if people did not have to much time (read no linux) But it is nice to know what happens, I do not have the guts to try it myself I am glad some one else did and reported what happend.
Why does not the whole country just use the same ones we ahve in Pittsburgh, they been in use for 50+ years to my knolage. you pull a switch, then when you finish you press a button and it then records on paper the results, simple and works.
To any poller. when I am at home (rarely) and I get a call on the land line (only have it since Verizon does not have naked DSL, I wish they would offer naked DSL) and get a call from a political person (I don't get any calls normally so any call it political in nature now) I first let the answering machine get it then I pick up the phone and put the mouth peace up to the speaker of the answering machine. I don't care who it is that is calling if you are calling for political stuff, you will get the feed back. Mod me a troll, but I hate the telemarketers, I hate them I don't care what you are selling. (and as a side not, I have not gotten a chance to hit the liberals yet with this, I have only gotten 1 call from a liberal, all the rest have been the republicans, and I am a conservative, and I just do it I don't care who you are, don't telemarket me.)
Can you back that up? Even the Votemaster has said that alot of his support has come from the repubican side
The best ones were the large number from Republicans saying: "We're going to vote for different candidates, but I appreciate your candor and honesty." Thank you.
Sorry your anti-Republican stuff just does not stand up.
What if you have a Bush (or Kerry) supporter decideds to swing the results (they would be pritty immature to do this) they could buy 20 or more cups of coffie a day, well the only justis is if they try to drink them all they might not live to see the elections
Is Pat Robertson a real christian?? if he was he would know that Christ commanded us to pray for our enimeies ( also to love them ). I would not say that pro abortionist jugeds are our enimens (well not yet, but) So a real Christians prayer would be more like this "Lord please help lead the justes to wisdom, and bring them to repentence and revours the rulling they made on the sinful act of abortion. Thought Jesus Christ that lives and rains with you and the Holy Ghost ever one God now and forever. Amen"
If you put it on the internet any one can see it, don't say in your blog what you would not say in a crowed public venue. When you put on your blog (or slashdot comments or what ever) expect every one can read, your friends, your enimeys, the goverment, a foreign goverment, people you don't know. So the secreat service reads liver journal, big deal, this is not a invastion of priviace, they person put it there for the world to see, the world saw it.
That was the day it was announced here at slashdot. I am still wanting for the responses to come back. Ok I am not wanting anymore; because I don't think they will come back. Nice idea, but it does not seam to be working.
Missing data is a pain for social network analis. Non of the models that are used can really deal with it. And most models need the data to be in binary form there is no good models that uses reals so you can not really see gradulaity.
If want to see some good social network software and you can do the networks yourself. Just look at ucnet or ora Ora is making better work of missing data
Well the Declaration of Independence. says we have the right to *LIFE* liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Abortion denies to the unborn all 3 of these 3 rights, and the federal government then does have the authority, nay I say the responsibility to protect these 3 rights. And the 14 amendment does say a person can not be "deprived of life, liberty or property without due process; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.". In abortion the unborn human person is deprived of life (and the other 2) with out due process, what crimes can an unborn commit? Also the Constitution does not give the courts the right to write law, all it can do is interpret the law or determine if a law is constitutional, Roe vs. Wade was the SCOUS wrote a law in that ruling there for it is an unconstitutional ruling.
There is so much hate out there on *BOTH* sides, that no mater who wins there is going to be major back lash from the other side.
I see so few people voting for some one, I see most people voting against the other. I am at the point I think we should abolish the current 2 partys and see how the 3rd parties do, I wil back the constution party.
But this just shows how fscked up the system has become now. I wish that they would go to the voting boxes we have here in the Pittsburgh area older, but I don't think you ever heard of said problems in Pittsburgh, or it could be Pittsburgh is a one party system ares (you are eather out of office or a democrate here)
will be the one that the most people that have to interact with it know it. If on the server, and all the admins know unix that would be linux or unix. If on the server and all the admins know only windows then it would be windows. On the desktop windows will win most (read 95%) of the time. Unless you have a very very techly set of employees then it just might be linux.
Could it be the milatary vote, hence more likly to be for Bush. So is this the Rebublicans stealing the votes so they can loss, or is it the Democrates stealling them so they can win at all cost?
Well if the people have to be local, maybe that could change things a bit more. who are you more likely to vote for, your neighborer who even though a different party you know and like and trust, or some unknown person in the same party.
That the problem with the current system, tell me something about either candidate that they have not said them selfs for their opponent has said, or enemy's have said. Politics are just way to impersonal, we might as well vote for Bender for all it worth! All see is what they people want us to see, we don't know them. Do they even have hopes and dreams, but if we voted for electors that are local (congressional districts) then we might know something about them, the could be friends, family, some one in the community we look up to, or conversely some one we don't think can do the job because we know from personal experience from them.
Lets bring government back home to the local community.

(First I am a republican)
The same problem exists on the Republican side too. I seen the same problem with Republican sites/blogs etc.

Well you just got the silent majority, and it said conservatism.
It is a good article, you will enjoy it.
There is a guy that has to much time, but hay were would we be if people did not have to much time (read no linux) But it is nice to know what happens, I do not have the guts to try it myself I am glad some one else did and reported what happend.
The results are in, Bush won, 4 more years.
Why does not the whole country just use the same ones we ahve in Pittsburgh, they been in use for 50+ years to my knolage. you pull a switch, then when you finish you press a button and it then records on paper the results, simple and works.
Does not have the canidate I like, even though he is on the ballet in 40some states.
To any poller. when I am at home (rarely) and I get a call on the land line (only have it since Verizon does not have naked DSL, I wish they would offer naked DSL) and get a call from a political person (I don't get any calls normally so any call it political in nature now) I first let the answering machine get it then I pick up the phone and put the mouth peace up to the speaker of the answering machine. I don't care who it is that is calling if you are calling for political stuff, you will get the feed back. Mod me a troll, but I hate the telemarketers, I hate them I don't care what you are selling.

Sorry your anti-Republican stuff just does not stand up.
Yes it means Kerry will win, you Kerry supports don't need to go vote stay at home, and don't bother to vote.
What if you have a Bush (or Kerry) supporter decideds to swing the results (they would be pritty immature to do this) they could buy 20 or more cups of coffie a day, well the only justis is if they try to drink them all they might not live to see the elections

They did not just rule on that, they said that abortion is to be law, and a "right". if that is not writeing a law, I don't know what is.
Well the Declaration of Independence. says we have the right to *LIFE* liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Abortion denies to the unborn all 3 of these 3 rights, and the federal government then does have the authority, nay I say the responsibility to protect these 3 rights.
