Try Ebay.
however, most of what you will find are pirated games anyway.
(Wouldn't it be nice if electronic works went into public domain after 10 or 15 years, or after the company creating the work folded up?)
But Thats the Problem with election Machines, or E-Voting.
You can't know. You can't Recount. You don't know the source. YOU CAN NOT VERYFY.
This is why e-voting undermines the base of democracy.
What we need is a competition for voting macines, like for encryption http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Encryption_Standard. To declare an open standard after the worlds brightest securtiy people tried 4-8 years to break it.
Oh, and Voting over the Internet or by text messaging? I can think of so many things that can go wrong that it should be illegal.
b) we need an awful lot of new important business leaders. pick me, i've got a mind on my own.
and still you'll be influenced what you read.
if your main information source is slashdot for a month, you'll get a different mindset, than if you read the economist and harvard business review for a month.

The question is: Is IT still developping or are we at a point where we cannon go possibly any further/ get better. If we are (A) at the point where the only possible advance left is to recode all bloatware to make it faster and no other room for improvement is left, the article your father dislikes slightly might still be right (just because IT was allways developping, does not mean it will continiue to do so for ever). If however, huge advancements like in the past are still possible (B), IT is not Dead, it will allways hold profits for the smart and intelligent, and your father is right. I tend to beleive that B is the case and we're not (yet) at the climax of IT, but the near future will bring nice advancements (quantum Computing etc.) and profits to some
not sure about the other three beeing easy: >The lobbying, easy, it is done by the engineers at the companies making the phone.
And no engineers descision is ever overturned by middle to upper management? ("I've heard that linux is _insert FUD here_")
>the marketing, easy, it is done by the marketing department of the people who make the phone.
right. OS is not a selling argument for the customer. but were talking B2B marketing here... and who has Herdes of salesforce running down the doors of Phone company XYZ?
> The cash, easy, that's a trick question. Linux is also free like beer.
you would not believe it (if you did'nt hear it), but the freeness is sometimes used against linux "you get what you pay for" etc...
the domination of a market depends on marketing, lobbying, cash and quality of the product.
so, linux has 1 out of 4. not bad, but still a long way to go
Perhaps the most interesting thing about this article is that the SCO case gets only one paragraph out of a fairly lengthy article. It's good to get a reminder that there are other issues out there
that would be a good reminder for the editors, too...
