The rule on campaign disclosures is that your name, occupation, employer, and some other personal information must be disclosed by the campaign to the FEC if you contribute more than $200 in an election cycle. Primaries and general elections are considered different cycles, so you could ostensibly give up to $399.98 without having your information made public. If you're interested, the laws are all posted here [PDF].

He has no intention of keeping this. It's an election year gambit, designed to appeal to notions of space supremacy. There is no money to pay for it, and he knows full well that Senate Appropriations will never let it go through (if W&M doesn't stop it first). Since he will be relected/sent home before the appropriations bill ever COMES UP, it matters ZERO to him what actually happens.
Or, from the alternative standpoint, there's a bunch of geeks who know nothing about diplomacy, public policy, institutional strategy, or benefit-cost analysis who think they are qualified to make decisions about these things. The./ postings on the WSIS are laughable to anyone with education and experience in these fields.
If we all stuck a little closer to our fields of expertise, companies and countries might move a bit more smoothly.
Actually, the secret paper ballot was an invention of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. Prior to that voting usually took place by a show of hands, a division (the ayes to one side, the nays to the other), or by voice vote. In some Swiss canton elections, it still works this way (or so I am told).
The English and Welsh elections do run on paper ballots that look like they're hot off the photocopier. They give you a little golf pencil and you put an X next to the candidate you want to select. Rocket science!
Paper works best when ballow boxes can all be secure and accounted for -- but at least this is an open source method of security, and one that's completely open to public scrutiny. Of course, this is manipulable -- Texas is still missing ballot box 13 from the 1956 Senate election -- but it's much more transparent.
This is an interesting interpretation of copyright law. You are allowed to make a backup copy for personal purposes, but when you sell your CD, you also sell the right to have the backup copy. Buy-burn-sell might be efficient and fun, but it's still not legal.

No. What he said was
Else
E lse
If Like_this_genre=TRUE
Then
Like_this_book:=TRUE
Like_this_book:=FALSE
Not
If Like_this_book=TRUE
Then
Like_this_book:=TRUE
End
"The stuff" is used as a colloquialism in place of "the genre." It was not used to mean "this book."
