  1. Open Source on Programmer Built Vote-Rigging Demo for Florida Politician · · Score: 1

    Could there be a stronger argument for open source software?

  2. Re:Firefox XUL on FireFox Sets the World Ablaze · · Score: 1

    Every time I hear the term XUL, all I can think of is the Stay-puff marshmellow man in Ghostbusters.

  3. Re:False Alarm on 2004 Election Weirdness Continues · · Score: 1

    The cynic in me says that any group of people smart enough and motivated enough to rig an election would probably also be smart enough and motivated enough to WIN an election.

  4. Re:What is being alleged, here, exactly? on 2004 Election Weirdness Continues · · Score: 1

    I have even less faith in people's ability to count.

  5. Re:Liars on 2004 Election Weirdness Continues · · Score: 1

    You don't have the right to do whatever you want to your body. It's generally illegal to commit suicide. You also can't kill another person legally. Why should there be an exception for a baby?

  6. A simpleton's solution... on A Silent PC Solution? · · Score: 1

    Get really long video, keyboard and mouse cables and put the box in the basement.

  7. Re:The flagship... on D&D Is 30 · · Score: 1

    6th edition is still going strong. It doesn't use D20.

  8. Re:Heading off at the pass.... on Solar-Hydrogen Eco-House · · Score: 4, Funny

    A blimp in the bikini? No thanks. But if it's not a blimp in the bikini, I prefer no bikini atoll.

  9. Re:My tool on One Third of Email Now Spam · · Score: 1

    I just change my email address every year. Cuts the spam down dramatically. Of course it helps to be anti-social because nobody can talk to you in January.

  10. Re:Vote! on Increasing the Value of the Domestic IT Worker? · · Score: 1

    How about imposing a foreign prevailing wage standard similar to the US Davis-Bacon act. If foreign (and domestic corporations with off-shore activities) were forced to pay similar wages, there would be less of an incentive to move out of the country and the workers that were hired overseas would quickly bring their local standard of living up to parity with the US. On another note, I found it amusing that the Indian government effectively thumbed their nose at Colin Powell when he suggested that India should open their company to more American products and services.

  11. Another Idiotic plan on Stoplights to Mete Out Punishment? · · Score: 1

    This would destroy timed light sequences. Now you have to figure out where the sensor picks you up, slam on the brakes to pass through the sensor and then gun it to get back up to your original speed. What happens when everybody speeds, does the light just go red in all directions? I'm pissed already. btw, I already sit in traffic 4 hours a day to go 26 miles. I'd much rather see a serious approach to promoting telecommuting instead of creating more gridlock.

  12. Re:Oh no, not a sequel! on Linux Based HD DDR used on Starship Troopers 2 · · Score: 2, Funny

    Aww, come on. What good is having a war if you can't have snappy one-liners.
