The Sunlight Foundation recently launched a project called Public Markup that is a model for allowing citizens to comment on legislation.
There are also Congresspedia.org and OpenCongress.org, both aimed at putting more information into the hands of citizens, and allowing them to participate more directly, in the lawmaking process.
All the more reason to develop wireless access through municipalities. Why bother with the Telco's in the first place? It's been discussed before, but providing this type of service to residents could bypass those money-grubbing corporations.
Also, whatever happened to all the fiber that Google supposedly owns?

"I did some research on the problem that you are having with your DualDisc.
Hopefully, what is listed below will be able to help you.
If you are able to listen to the audio side of the disc on your PC, you
should be able to download to your iPod. There is no content protection on
this disc. Technical support for DualDisc can be reached through the
www.sonybmg.com/dualdisc website.
Sony BMG is actively working on ways to be able to down load the DVD
portion but has not developed anything ready for release at this time.
I actually live in Silver City. I was born and raised here. What I can assure all of you is that this story has been around (my intial report in June) for awhile, and the reason it hasn't been settled yet is because we like to fight about everything. The local paper has been covering the story, if you want another perspective on things:
They include the statement that Catherine Antrim, buried in Memory Lane Cemetery, has a "legal right to repose in her grave"; Silver City is charged with the management of the cemetery; the town is "empowered to preserve and protect historical landmarks within its jurisdiction, including Catherine Antrim's grave site, under the Historic District and Landmark Act,"; and the town must protect the dignity of "those interred on its public grounds."
However, as far as tourism goes, NM does have alot to offer. No flashy lights or big buidlings, but we have National Monuments, Parks, and Forests, along with countless state monuments and parks. Perhaps you might want to check out the Gila Cliff Dwellings, or the City of Rocks, or take a tour of ghost towns. You can do all three within an hour and a half drive from Silver City. We have thirty-three art galleries downtown, access to just about any outdoor activity you can think of, and host the Tour of the Gila, a prominent cycling road race, every spring. And that's just Silver City.
I certainly agree that this might be getting a little too much attention. However, I think it might be taking it a little far to think that Silver City is trying to rationalize its existence on the fact that Billy the Kid's mom is buried here. In fact, aside from post cards, I've never really seen any Billy the Kid merchandise. Maybe I should go into business.
You know, I agree. Blizzard makes great games, but they're never ready on time. You would think by now they would overestimate the date they give for release when coming up with a new game. Or a patch for that matter...

A poor word choice on my part.

I also received the info about bypassing DRM.

Speaking of Borders, McDonalds is probably going to start rolling out Wi-Fi to all its restraunts. Can you imagine the RIAA going after Ronald?
