But you'll also notice that those countries with people who live in conditions of deprivation don't have swarms of lawyers. "What, you won't let me cross dress in work? I'LL SUE YOU!!!"
You know, people can start voting for 3rd party candidates at the city and county level positions. If enough 3rd party members take up the lower positions, the two major parties will start noticing it.
There are morce choice than just two parties. The problem is that most people don't vote for 3rd party candidates, thus we have "I'm voting for Bush because I'm a conservative" and "I'm voting for Kerry because he's not Bush" groups. I don't really blame the government for it, I blame the voters for putting the same usual people into the offices no matter what.
Most geeks think that they represent the majority when in actually, they make up a tiny fraction of the minority.
How of all the PS2 owners, how many do you think that actually mods their PS2? I'll bet that the population in large doesn't even know that DCMA stands for or what it does. And Beastie Boys' latest CD made the best sellers list even with DRM. If the consumers continue to buy crap, they will continue to sell crap.
I don't recall mass protests by geeks in the 80's for out sourcing of blue-collar manufacturing jobs to the third world countries. Now with IT jobs being outsourced, geeks are talking as if the world is coming to an end.
How about taking charge instead of the usual "Oh I'm so helpless! Government should regulation everything to keep me from harm!".
Did you ever think that maybe it's easier to deploy broadband service in South Korea since it's land size is about 1/4 of Colorado?
Last thing US needs is more people sitting in front of the computer chatting or playing online games all day. If you get a Democratic congress, I foresee lawsuits against ISPs because "The Internet made me fat!".
The slashdot position on government is same as the position on mass media, which is "Don't trust the mass media unless it has an article that I agree with. In that case, trust the media".
It's about right tools for the job. Sure, you can kill that fly with a.45, but why not use a fly swatter? Quicker and less messy for a such a small task.
Many slashdotters wanted greater government regulation of those evil TV stations owned by the TV corporation. I guess you need to be careful of what you wish for.
I suppose it'll be a much better system under the liberals who's motto is "We believe in free speech as long as it doesn't offend anyone". I suppose those liberals will be happy now that SATA will get rid of "master/slave" term us racist geeks use with our racist computer devices.
It's quite sad that some people try everything that they can to mod down the people on their enemy list. If you have that much time to burn, get a life or a job.
I said it because your comments were one sided just like Moore's movie. It always get me when people bash one source as being biased while introducing their own biased sources.
It's interesting how Moore asked the people in Flint about every one that they know who went to Iraq to get the largest responses while he limited the question to only childrens when asking congressmen about it to get the lowest responses.
The FL eletction officals. They could have recounted a thousand times with diffent results each time. The whole process was screwed up and this I put the word offical in quotes.
Bush vs. Gore election was a statical tie when given the margin of error for such a large poll. The idea but unrealistic solution would've been to hold another election with just Bush and Gore on the ballet.
It's interesting how the article starts out with a link to CNN.com.
This is a classic case of "Don't trust the mass media except when there's an article that I agree with, in which case, trust the mass media".
According to the./ logic (Check out the Turner thread), CNN is owned by an evil right-wing corporation and it only spreades right-wing lies like the rest. So since the story about election machines losing votes are right-wing lies, just as the reports of American soldiers and Iraqis dying everyday are right-wing lies, when actually, the soldiers and Iraqis are having daily picnics at the flower gardens.

Shit, I guess that's what I get from using info gained from /. There was an uproar about it here not too long ago.

I'd mod it up for "Very Fucking Refreshingly Insightful +5" if I had any points left.

Mine is 12345678. It's more secure because it has minimum of 8 charactors in it.
Only problem with that is that the government would also want to regulate the broadband access like they did with the interstate highway system.
I always thought it was because the Japanese army used Korean women as sex slaves during WWII.

/. was down for a bit, and I wouldn't be suprised if the tinfoil hatters start blaming Bush for it.
