Well this might be true, I suspect that there is another reason for the sharp increase in recreation. neo-Hippies, I know at least where I go to school, Ohio University, there are tons of hippies we are overrun with hippies and poorly trained dogs. I think it is also common sense that hippies enjoy smoking herb, smelling bad and being one with nature. This all lends itself to recreation/wilderness type majors, rather than EE or CS majors. I am sad that more people haven't recognized the joy involved in hacking away and debugging software but oh well they will someday figure out what I have known all along.
True, Bush said some pretty revolting things in that last debate about V-chips and censorship. But Al's views are not that different I assure you. Both candidates see the internet as a great tool to be used by industry and corporations to sell and provide stuff to you the CONSUMER! Both candidates will ensure that the same thing happens to the internet as has happened to radio and television before it.
The pesky knowledgable will be moved off to a small useless section of the net where they won't interfere with the daily business of Amazon, AT&T, MSNBC, Microsoft. This will be similar to the minimal section of the airways that Ham-radio operators are in now.
Both major candidates see the internet as this and don't give a fuck about Open Source, Freedom of Assembly (on any medium) or Copyright. If you want to vote for a candidate that is truly techie friendly try Harry Browne
I can appreciate a good joke and hope that you are not as stupid as your comment makes you look. 50$ says you have never been anywhere outside of West Virginia or possibly Arkansas as we know that they are real rivals for third world countries and produce true morons like you on a daily basis!
Anyone realize that 2/3rds of that comment was devoted to how great Carnage4Life is! I agree, to think that there are not geeks in Africa is a bit ignorant but common lets have some modesty old chap.

True, But do you really think that the government gives a flying fuck about the open source movement?
Governments don't like people to have anonymity, it makes them hard to control(regulate)
