We need some well laid out demands for our boycott. What exactly do we want to demand from the MPAA and RIAA? I suggest telling them to stop going after P2P networks, and charge reasonable prices. I guess for the MPAA, they could change the legal status of DeCSS. However, I also think they should lobby for the repeal of the DMCA, but they don't have complete control over that since congress has to act.
I recall on September 11, google began mirroring news sites from around the globe. Since then they have created a whole news section of their site.
They can handle the traffic. They regularly get millions of hits a day and they never seem to slow a bit and I don't believe they did on September 11 either.
Everyone is looking at what happens on election day but what really needs to be looked at is verifying the votes actually occured. After you vote you should get a receipt with a number on it. Then the names of people who voted could be posted to the internet on one page and on another page there could be a list of these random numbers with who their ballots voted for next to them. Then, everybody could go onto the site after they voted and make sure, their vote was tabulated correctly. Political parties could check the name list and make sure no one who wasn't supposed to vote, voted and everyone could see that there would be the same number of names and numbers with votes. If anything ever happened the people would have the receipt from their polling place and they could quite easily show it didn't match what their vote was recorded as and so they could easily verify votes.

How exactly does this device interface with some appliance. I understand that it is a small webserver, but how does it interface with an appliance?
