All versions of windows 2000, XP and 2003 support Simple NTP natively via the Windows Time Service. You just can't configure it using a GUI.
Actually, XP (and I assume 2003) can. Double click the clock in the taskbar, look for the "internet time" tab. You can update with time.nist.gov (recommended) or time.windows.com.
You assume that exit polling is a scientific process. Fact is, political groups have picked up on exit polling as a way to attempt to skew elections, if they can get major media to pick up their story (or, alternatively, if major media is doing the exit polling). Example:
10am- CBS News: Exit polls show that Candidate A has taken a COMMANDING lead in Ohio. Supporters of Candidate B: Well, shit, there's no use voting, we're going to lose anyway.
Exit polling also requres honesty out of those polled, which may or may not happen. This IS politics, ya know.
Comparing exit polling with actual voting results, and claiming something is wrong with the voting results if there's a discrepancy, is just stupid.
Blogs are no different from what you have up ("I like shakespeare, I'm a geek, here's stull I think is funny..."). The ONLY difference is that bloggers use software.
Basically, if you have a webpage with info about you, you can't say squat about weblogs.
As much as Slashdot readers name-call world leaders (and world-leader-wannabes) that they disagree with, there's outcry over an average joe getting insulted?

Once again it is assumed that nothing happened outside the USA.
An American tech news site discussing an (obviously) American site, designed by an American, mainly for American BBSes. Making sure that there is some content that appeals to Burkina Faso is likely not a priority in situations such as this.
It's great that you're pushing for more content that appeals to places outside of America. Just please understand that... well... you probably need to go find (or make) slashdot.co.uk or something similar.
Why does it matter to you anyway? And why does one small quote, some guy (likely redneck, I will agree with that) EXPRESSING HIS OPINION ON THE SITE HE'S PAYING FOR, turn this whole conversation into "Americans are so nationalistic that they're blind to everything else" tripe?
Believe it or not there were, and still are, plenty of BBS's out here.
Proportionally, no. The internet drove a lot of them out. Lots of us (myself included) couldn't make too many long-distance calls when we were younger - essentially, you couldn't communicate with people in another state/province, let alone another country or continent. (To put that into the anti-American perspective you are looking for, most Americans couldn't acknowledge anything outside their City, instead of their own country).
(If I misread "here" to strictly mean your home country, forgive me. I was acknowledging something outside the borders of your country, because you weren't.);)
'til those "benefits" get distro'd all over the net, anyway.
I'm interested in seeing how it turns out, with the feeling it won't last too long. The RIAA thinks it has struck gold with the copy-protected CDs and, if it gets passed, the ability to DOS with impunity.
Caring about those who "do it right" (in their estimation, people who buy CDs and don't use P2P) is secondary to them, right behind the little green pieces of paper. Why reward those who are simply doing what the law requires them to do?

Or, for the "recurring payment" portion of the program... Ars Technica.
I would mod your article -1 Redundant. We've been saying that for two years plus.

Kind of like CBS/Dan Ra"th"er.
You mean WINE won't run IIS?
The same reason people buy video cards when the next generation is only 6 months away, I'd suppose.

Score for the humor aspect.
