You analogy is correct except your forgetting one part. The N+1 vote could be cast when the central part of the US is votting. That would mean the election would be over before the people in California got a chacne to vote. I don't know about you but knowing that the election has already been decided would certainly discourage me from voting.
I went to a highschool very similar to that for a year. The biggest thing those for those redneck was who was going to be homecoming king and queen. So they could look real pretty for hteir parents and give off the illusion that they conformed to all their parents wants and hopes.
In my opinion this is a violation of his first Amendment right to freedom of speach. He didn't wanted the award and expressed it through his action of putting the crown on the ground. Just another example of some lowlife highschool teachers making them all look like idiots.
One thing that disturbs me in teh answers of all of the canidates is their lack of concern to one of the major issues with Electoral College reform.
This issue consist of two factors.
1)Once the specified number of Electoral votes has been reached, a canidate wins
2)Since the voting starts at the same time in every state, people on the west coast end of voting hours after the people on the east coast
This lead to the problem with the most recent presidential election. Clinton won the number of votes necessary to become president before the people on Pacific time even Started to vote.
I believe that this is another key reason why people do not go out to vote anymore. The election is already decided before they even get a chance to contribute. That's the dumbest thing about our system of voting.
Filters completely suck. They never filter the correct thing. There's no way that a filter can concieveable keep up with the rapid number of porn sites that appear. Then they block informative research oriented web sites because they contain the word breast. So any 13 year old who wants to do some real research on breast cancer is unfairly hindered.
I don't really see a problem though with parents being able to see what web sites there kids have been to. After all, a parent is the best judge for what their kid can and can't see.
As for preventive monitoring while they surf. What ever happened to a parent going and seeing what their kid was doing. It takes very little effort to walk into the computer room and see what webpage your children are viewing.
I help set up a friends wireless LAN in his house and it was awesome. I was truly expecting wireless to be buggy and slow but I was blown away by the speed and the efficiency. We walked all through his house(which was quite big) and didn't notice any loss in performance. Once I get some money I plan to set one up myself.
Still. Why vote for someone you know is an idiot? I want to keep Bush out of the office as much as anyone else but is Gore that much better?
I used to subscribe to your idealogy but I'm just tired of it.
The slashdot crew can post whatever they want to this website. They craeted it. If you don't like the story then don't read it. Use your common sense.
Obviously you didn't read the article because this story is very relavent to slashdot. In the article they talk about how the open source community was targeted for this crap. Who do you think post to this board? Several people have already posted that they were screwed by this deal.
People who post crap yelling at the slashdot crew to not post stories should get a life or get off this page. You're as bad as the trolls.
I for one think it's a good move on intels part. Instead of shipping a crappy product they found the bug and appear to be exterminating it from the chip. After incidents like RH7.0 it pleases me to see a company fixing the problem(even if they're a little late to admit it). I'd rather wait another month or two for them to get it right rather than spend a couple weeks dealing with returns and their help desk
I for one am extremely happy there's another stable browser out there on the market. I'm getting tired of Netscape. Every time I find a good porno sight, Netscape crashes on me. Right when that huge freaky video gets done downloading, BAM!!! There goes netscape and my hopes of good porn.
Could this be the solution to the sateleite eating fungus? After all, if we can stick a high tech camera on it, how hard would it be to put a can of anti-fungul spray on it?
I think these nanosattelites just put us one step closer to mantenience robots. Then true laziness can be achieved.
I'm going to patent the fact that my car door opens with only one handle. There are millions of cars sold every year that are in direct violation of my patent.
I'm also issueing a patent on the one power button on my computer. People have been pressing one button to turn on their computer for the last few years. Just one button. The only thing better would be for them to have to pay me to do it.
Maybe there should be a patent on one click message boards. I type a message and one click. BAM!!! My post is being read and moderated.

I'm sick and tired of this attitude in America that we should patent turning on the computer with the left hand vs the right and sueing everyone over the littlest thing. I personally feel Amazon should have to pay Barne's and Noble for wasting there time with frivilous and otherwise annoying patents. Not to mention the loss of buisness B&N felt.
I believe that there fear is that they will contineu their tactic of reverse engineering and do the same with PS2. The signifigance of doing it with PS1 is that they can preemptively stop them from repeating with PS2.
From the way the article describes this it won't be much like Napster at all. With napster you share data with people all over the internet. This however sends data to computers for processing and storing during their idle time. They don't ask for the data it just gets sent to them. Definately not napster like

Have you ever posted with a name?

I've heard from a couple of friends who are part of the Internet offices at Georgia tech that they will also refuse to ban napster.
Redhat 6.1 did not install the kernel source for me. It just left a document that said where I could get it.
Does the UN claim juristidiction over countries who do not sign treatise with them?
