    Hope that they don't close the source like TuxRacer :)

  5. Electronic Voting? Not really new. on Debian GNU/Linux Used in Electronic Voting Trials · · Score: 1
    About four or five years ago, brazilian elections became all electronical. Every single village and cities could use this new way to vote.

    Voting is simple: you just need to type in the candate's code; he's (or she's) photo appears on screen and you just need to confirm.

    This idea is pretty cool as the results appears very fast to the public. However, the system used here isn't GPL'd, so we can't know if it's computing votes to another candidate than the one you voted.

  6. NetCaptor blocks too. on Public Outcry Over Popup Ads · · Score: 1
    NetCaptor is the Galeon brother for Win32/IE.

    It features nice things, including PopupCaptor: this little stuff can block only the popups you choose (when they appear, you can just hit F8 and tell bye bye to the popup).

    I wonder if Galeon/Konqueror/Skipstone and other browsers did this too (as I'm not a Win32 user).

    NetCaptor can be found at www.netcaptor.com.
