I really was disappointed in the fact he became senator after the death of Paul Wellstone--especially after the death of Wellstone.
So only because Paul Wellstone unfortunately died during the campaigns, Walter Mondale should have won the election? What would be the purpose of voting?
The polls before Wellstone's death showed a tight race, but Coleman was ahead of Wellstone a day before Wellstone's death. Sure, the tides may have turned if Wellstone was still living today, but I prefer to focus on the current reality and not the "what if" reality.

And reader Ignorant Aardvark wrote to us about BitTorrent sites disappearing, possibly because of RIAA/MPAA intervention, so this technology is now generating some controversy as well.
Well, Ignorant Aardvark was simply that, ignorant.
Determining by circumstance, I thought this fellow reader never actually went to the torrentse.cx site while it was up and fully operational. Any visitor to torrentse.cx for more than a month before it went down would have noticed the big black text with blue background stating what's going on behind the curtain, and what could be done to fix it. No one could have missed it, unless someone runs at a super-duper-high resolution that's way beyond 1600x1200. i browsed torrense.cx at 1600x1200 in full-screen mode, and i still saw that announcement! That threw out the RIAA/MPAA vs. torrentse.cx conspiracy theory.
While the rest of his statement was true, regarding bittorrent sites disappearing and the controversy behind bittorrent technology, some deeper research could have been done about the reason those sites were disappearing. As other fellow slashdotters have commented, it's mainly due to the resources bittorrent takes in order to operate in good performance. The Python language could also be to blame, but since I know little about Python, I won't make an opinionated statement here.
I've noticed that some of the slashdotters mistook Bram Cohen for Ignorant Aardvark when they commented on disappearing sites. AFAIK, bitconjuer.org was the only site owned and operated by Mr. Cohen. Bram Cohen was certainly not the owner of torrentse.cx as that has already been pointed out.
