  1. Re:Electoral College is Obsolete on The Votemaster Is...Andrew Tanenbaum · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Just out of curiosity, (as the number of electoral votes per state is a function of the number of senators + the number of representatives), do you feel under-represented in Congress year-round, or is it only during elections?

    I've never heard an anti-electoral college discussion address this and I'm interested in hearing a response, especially as we are a representative democracy.


    Thanks, Jason.

  4. ace up their sleeves? on AOL Selling AIM Gateway/Listener To Employers · · Score: 2, Interesting

    are there any parts of the AIM protocol that still haven't been reversed engineered or published in some form or another?

    at 35 dollars a seat per year per head, that's a lot of money to be charging for the same sort of monitoring you could achieve with ethereal and a basic understanding of the AIM protocol (isn't there already an AIM decoder in ethereal?).

    either way, it's a pretty nice business model of there's. i guess i'm just worried to see if there's any 'extra' information stored in the AIM protocol that might be of added benefit to management.

    otherwise i say no big deal..

  6. metal strips in US $100? on MIT vs. Las Vegas · · Score: 1

    i recall hearing that the small metal strip found on the right hand side of any of the new US dollar bills, while not only being an anti-counterfeiting measure, would trigger metal detectors if stacked in large quantities (such as the 100k this reporter was traveling with). is that just some urban legend or ... ?
