  1. This just in: on Election Wrapping Up (Part 2) · · Score: 1

    American People Lose in Landslide!
    Republicans, Democrats blamed for humiliating loss

  2. Re:A really nice map on Election Wrapping Up · · Score: 1

    ...And it doesn't list the votes for

    *Harry Browne
    *Howard Phillips
    *John Hagelin
    *That Socialist Party guy (David McReynolds I think)

    In other words, it's pretty useless.

  3. Election Results on Election Wrapping Up · · Score: 1

    Republicrats 1, American People 0.

    It really doesn't matter who wins, because in the end it will still be politics as usual, just leaning a little more towards big business with Bush, and more towards censorship with Gore.

    I voted Libertarian myself, but it won't mean much overall.

    Bzzt.

    Try 70% or above.

    Still could be better though...

    Ahem, it's clear Christianity isn't working, so why not?

  8. Bush is unacceptable on More Candidate Answers - Bush and Hagelin · · Score: 1

    I am now convinced that George W. would ruin the country.

    His answer to the IP question proves it. I wonder how much the MPAA and RIAA paid him to say that? However, I have a conflict of interest her in that I support Robert Fripp. RObert Fripp supports keeping copyright but giving the rights back to the people they should belong to: the artist. We agree on one thing, though: the RIAA sucks.

    If I were good enough to release something, I would probably make the condition that you can do whatever, as long as you keep my name and copyright date.

    So does his answer to the drug question claiming "Drug use is wrong." How does he know, besides what Christianity might say on the matter? And who is he to force those beliefs on those who think otherwise?

    Give me a reasoned philosophical argument on why drug use is wrong, and you might convince me. I wouldn't use drugs myself, but I don't think it's my place to tell others they shouldn't use drugs, unless it's really affecting me personally. And it's certainly wrong to use force to stop them. I would think the consequences of the harder drugs would be reason enough for people not to use them. Addicts need help, not condemnation.

    In addition, The War on Drugs(R) sure hasn't helped the quality of rock music ;-)

    Finally, I love the answer to the religion question. If you're not Mormon, Jewish, Methodist, or a Muslim, you're not guaranteed the right to practice it is what he appears to be saying. This implies that only mainstream religions with ties to Jerusalem are guaranteed thr right to practice their religion. Needless to say, that's not what the Constitution says.

    I'm still voting Browne. I'd love to leave the country, but it seems every other country has even more government control in some way or another :-(

  9. Re:But its cool on Quickie Twister · · Score: 1

    Ha.

    I've gotten a 0.05 and a 0.06 just now.

    However, the best I can do reliably is 0.08.

    And I don't trust my watch much right now anyway, because I've had two clock in at 0.10 when one is definitely much shorter than the other.

    Regardless, there's definitely a difference between pressing a button repeatedly as fast as you can and pressing a button in response to another event.

  10. Re:Slashdot's just helping the stereotype... on Kasparov King No More · · Score: 1

    No, as I understand it, it just takes real guile in making up rules that benefit you only.

  11. Re:Kasparov, Kramnik, Khalifman, Karpov... on Kasparov King No More · · Score: 1

    That was sweet. It says, clear as day, at the bottom, that this is a SATIRE, and yet Slashdot posts it as Microsoft news.

    It's even sweeter once you realize that the letter contains a lot of truth.

    Bush: "If some rogue asteroid goes around threatening our planet, there's got to be a consequence."

  14. Not sure it's that bad on Patent Warfare · · Score: 1

    Trying to read the patent -- and it's not fun, it's NOT the web server. It's more like selecting streaming video through a network.

    But judge for yourself:

    It doesn't make it less evil to sue your critics first, though.

    That's why you stop buying from big business and support local Ma and Pa businesses instead! It's a lot easier to stand up to big business than to stand up to a corupt government.
