Umm - if we did it by popular vote, Bush would still have won. Did you fail math class?
And how on earth is 1 vote per state even close to being a fair representation of the people's choice? Look at those election maps all over the place - see all that red? That would mean a Rep. would win almost every time...
I've always wanted to hack the brake lights in my car and wire them to a button on my dashboard that I could press whenever some jackass is tailgating me. Anyone ever done this??
I also daydream of mounting paintball guns under the hood to shoot those fuckers who drive on the shoulder in traffic jams - but that's another story...
I'm not sure what you mean by "root-integrated", you're right. I mean, computers don't have video capabilities - you need a video card for that. Same goes for network connectivity. So what if it's third party? There's nothing stopping Apple or M$ from integrating it into the O/S. It's usually just easier to pick up a handset to make a call. OTOH, if you're already online doing stuff - I think it would be preferable to answer the phone via the computer.
I know a few people who use pc software for phone/fax, and a couple guys who use VOIP with just a NIC and a sound card - no pots line at all. Granted, not many... but it's doable.

Just another excuse for yet another MIT story I suppose...
