  1. How 'bout on Open US GPS Data? · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Openstreetmap is good.

  2. Re:Sudden outbreak of common sense indeed on Maryland Scraps Diebold Voting System · · Score: 1

    Well, I meant the money already reaching states that is earmarked for new voting machines.

  3. Sudden outbreak of common sense indeed on Maryland Scraps Diebold Voting System · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Good riddance to bad rubbish. Whatever happened to "If it ain't broke don't fix it"?

    Can this momentum spread to the federal level? Perhaps by having the money given to the states with the express implication that it be used for as secure and verifiable voting device as possible?

  4. Re:We bailed out the airlines, didnt we? on Copyright Lobbies Threaten Federal College Funding · · Score: 1

    Subsidizing those industries or companies who choose to lobby the most congress-critters is bad policy. Let the market do it's thang, invisible hand and all that.

  7. ...eh? on Ted Turner's Beef With Big Media · · Score: 2, Informative

    Keep in mind, this is Ted Turner, the crazy Southren billionare we're talking about here. This guy IS the media!

    A quick snippet from his company's website, http://www.turner.com ,

    Many are familiar with TBS, Inc.'s groundbreaking network, CNN, one of the world's most respected and trusted sources for news and information. Since its launch more than 20 years ago, CNN's reach has extended to 15 cable and satellite television networks; two private, place-based networks; two radio networks; 12 Web sites; CNN Mobile; and CNN Newsource, the world's most extensively syndicated news service.

    TBS, Inc. is also home to familiar entertainment networks such as TBS, TNT, Cartoon Network, and Turner Classic Movies as well as specialized networks such as Turner South and Boomerang.

    TBS, Inc. is also home to The Atlanta Braves, nascar.com and pga.com


    Aaaannd he's the vice chairman of Time Warner. Just goes to show, this guy really is nuttier than a fruitcake.

  8. Great idea on A La Carte Cable TV Channels? · · Score: 1

    Why pay for 200+ channels when all you really want to do is watch TNG reruns every once in awhile? If I'm not mistaken, the Digital Cable service has the capabitliy to serve only certain, user selected channels.. Paying $X.XX per GOOD channel per month makes alot more sense than $40+ for 3 good channels and 197 of crap.

    I always say, if I wanted to build a computer from scratch, the very last material I would choose to work with is meat.

    well.. you could cook it pretty well with an OC'ed athlon. cook dinner and waste time at the same time.
