While politics seem to be leaning to the highest bidder, remember which party is supported by the racists, the homophobes, the religious types who believe that/their/ [Protestant] religion is the only "correct" religion, the people who don't believe the theory of evolution is correct, the people who think it's okay for Microsoft to have a monopoly; all sorts of closed minded and ignorant people who couldn't give a shit about anyone else's liberties. So while both major parties are money-driven, remember that there still is an enormous and significant difference.
The problem here is that the will of the people is probably for Al Gore. It may not be, but to prove that, there would have to be a revote. Without that, Bush would not be a legitimate president, because he intentionally blocked a measure that would have made sure he won. The only reason he would try so vehemently to block such a measure is because it would make him lose. Gore isn't gaining any more voters now, especially with the Republicans spreading so much nonsense about being a sore loser, so, assuming Bush really, legitimately won the election, what harm could a revote do? Oh right.. make you precious George Bush lose... The right thing for Bush to do is allow the citizens of Florida to prove him right.
That's bullshit. I voted on the Cook County ballot Tuesday, and the Presidential candidates were all listed on/one side/ of the ballot. There is a part of the ballot where candidates are listed on both sides (A part with ballot initiatives and whatnot) and since the pages of the ballot where the names/questions are listed is a little loose, there is a little bit of uncertainty as to which holes the arrows are pointing to. I figured it out by process of elimination, of course, but I figure some people wouldn't pay as much attention to that kind of thing.
That's bullshit. Bush didn't talk to the "people", the featured video clip of him showed him talking about how his friend, the Republican governer of Pennsylvania, still thought he was winning there.
Actually, you are the mindless one, as most Americans, even the large group of people with questionable intellegence that make up the South and always vote Republican, would be able to spell that right. Unless you support throwing people's rights away to support a candidate that's more "honest".
While I am a Gore supporter, I have to say that I don't think internet access in schools is a valuable learning tool. When I was at school all we used the 'net for was yahoo games and downloading mp3s. We could find better answers to our research questions by looking them up in the vast array of hard copy sources our library had. In a school without the resources to support a good library, however, internet access might be the next best thing.
Well, big deal.. nobody related to the campaign would do something so blatantly stupid so you can't blame them, but in any case, if the right man cheats and lies himself into office, fine. Only the outcome matters. If Gore has to cheat to win, so be it. He's better.
You're an ignorant dumbass. If google released their algorithm, so called "web spammers" would exploit weaknesses in it immediately. Since no one, as of yet, has written a perfect web search algorithm, there have to be bugs in it. Even if releasing the algorithm to the public allowed people to suggest improvements for it, the current algorithm will have already been compromised by spammers the day it was released. So in this case, security through obscurity is better than security through openness.
There is no reason a tax cut shouldn't be based on arbitrary contingencies. Everything's arbitrary anyway, so why complain about a specific arbitrary instance, unless, of course, such an instance would bring something negative upon the poster, in which case it would be only logical for the poster to try and convince others that this position is negative by confusing people with lesser intellegence than he, thus garnering other people's opposition to the position he opposes without having presented a valid argument, instead presenting an argument using scare tactics (Calling the Gore proposal behavior modification), lack of relevant information, (Presenting a proposal "similar to Bush's" while providing only a pathetic parody of Gore's), and use of words like "clearly" when there is no argument or evidence presented for that point. Slashdotters call a such a collection of words "FUD".
If you have a decent burner like my PlexWriter 12/10/32A, you theoretically should be able to do just about anything in the background you want.. If the OS lets MP7 fuck up the burner program's process.. well, that's an OS bug, regardless of how stupid the user is.
Ahh yes, but why compile the absolutely huge source that will definitely only compile on a computer with Visual Studio and a gig of RAM when you could download an iso somewhere?
I have a pirated copy of WinME. I'm using it now. For some reason it causes IE to fuck up the little form-interface thingies when I moderate. That didn't happen in 98.

If Jesse Jackson or Bill Clinton had been Republicans, they would have had "youthful indiscretions".
Well, actually, I've been playing CounterStrike online with about 5 people all using my CD key, and it worked fine.
Well, yes, but according to the constitution, we haven't been in a war since WWII.
A B-2 can't fly in the rain because water collects on its surface. This water happens to reflect radar, making it a not-so stealth bomber.
I wish more people would raise this point.

People just need to make sure there're no grounds for disputing an election's results.
You are obviously a fachist Republican dick. Every method you favor favors Bush, and any method that favors Gore you shoot down.

Literacy tests for voting were originally used as a method of discriminating against black voters in the south.

The Win2k source would make a good /. comment. It'd probably get modded down though...
You can't expect Microsoft to write correct code. Their way of fixing something like this would be to change the compiler so it compiles.

Some of us have teachers that require presentations written in Powerpoint. That sucks.
Well, if your site isn't linked to, it isn't really part of the web.
