Portland, Oregon, right now in fact, is seeing snow, something that, by all local news accounts, is rarely seen at the lower elevations and doesn't happen repeatedly as it has in the month of March. Climate change indeed!
Portland has been doing such a thing for a few months now through an iPhone app appropriately named "City of Portland Citizen Reports". Allows users to upload photos with descriptions and tag them with GPS coordinates. The description pulled from the iTunes page:
Citizen Reports is a direct result of Mayor Adams and the City of Portland’s call for more open data and interactions with the citizens of Portland. Citizen Reports is used by citizens to report and request service calls to city assets and infrastructure, including issues with parks, pot holes, traffic lights, street lights, catch basins, and graffiti. Additional city assets and service request types will be added over time.
Using an iPhone, citizens can access this easy-to-use interface to the City of Portland’s issue reporting infrastructure. Citizens select the type of issue to report, take a photo (or upload an existing one), geo-locate the issue via GPS or interactive map, add comments, and send their report directly to the responsible bureau for resolution. Citizens can also view issues they have previously submitted and check the status or resolution of the issue.
Citizen Reports is a small but important step in allowing citizens to participate in expediting the City of Portland's awareness and resolution of various issues. Citizen Reports is available for free within the Apple App Store.
Great, one more thing that Iran could accuse us of... meddling in their election, providing support to protesters in hopes of influencing their electoral process, just what we need!
Don't get me wrong, it's a good idea, and I'm all for helping but it's just one more thing. Don't we have enough to worry about on our home soil?
...he's solely in the position for money and power (the worst type of politician IMO) What other kind is there? Cite examples of living people, please. There isn't much upside to the job otherwise. That's the thing, not sure I can. I just didn't want to get too preachy by saying that all are greedy and self-serving, that our political system is broken and needs a major revamp, that I'm sick of being stuck with only two parties, etc, etc... that's just begging for a flame war.:P
The only reason Rick Perry is even Governor of Texas is because G.W. Bush was elected Commander in Chief!
Until recently I lived in Texas with Rick Perry as Governor. Never liked his policies, his political decisions or personal choices on a wide range of topics. Not only that but the guy is a complete buffoon when it comes to technology, he's solely in the position for money and power (the worst type of politician IMO). The guy had to know that GW was going to run for Pres., assuring him the top seat in Texas.
Shame, shame on him.
Regardless of whether or not he's being professional doesn't mean that you shouldn't be. From what you write, it seems like everyone already knows he's a taco short of a combo platter, so your reputation shouldn't suffer too much.
Even still, if you stay for the duration and he skimps on the final paycheck, take his ass to court...
Do what I did, find a university that offers a degree with aspects of both hardware and software in their curriculum.
Here in Texas, there are two major universities (50,000+ students) within 2 hours of each other that offer a 'Computer Engineering' degree. Two tracks within mine here at Texas A&M: Engineering track focuses more on hardware while CS contains more programming requirements. Both of the tracks contain a nice balance between CS and EE courses while allowing for a slight lean toward hardware or software. Basically the same degree with a different choice of electives.

If con is the opposite of pro, is congress the opposite of progress?
Leaping over buildings, cars with unwieldy speed? Anyone remember Crackdown?
if all guns were gone tomorrow, loonies would still kill people.
In much smaller numbers.
Perhaps. If it's not guns, it's bombs. Remember Timothy McVeigh?

Squid works well as a transparent proxy, when used in conjunction with a log parser, might be just what you're looking for.
