http://electoral-vote.com/ is planning on providing semi-real time coverage online. The side is almost completely text (on the main page anyways) and only has the one image of the electoral vote prediction (which I imagine will be zeroed tomorrow morning). If the server goes down there are 5 mirrors (httpL://www.electoral-vote2.com/,...., http://www.electoral-vote6.com/)
Besides which, are you really so shallow that you would vote for a candidate based on what webserver his PR agency chose?
First off don't think I said anything about who I was voting for. Second off I have plenty more reasons to not vote for Bush, I could care less if Bush miraculously became a programing OSS crusader, that doesn't change all the other things about him that are horrible that are far more important.
Hey, let's keep Michael Moore out of this!
Funny because I posted before I watched Fahrenheit 9/11
I think that the candidates don't care but the people that the choose to be around them (at least a few) do. i think it's not surprising that Bush who he and his aids (and IT people) have been in a corporate environment since they were born have a corporate system. It's all about rich white men helping out other rich white men.
Where as Kerry's and the people he has chosen to have around himself probably know something about OSS, and that is why they have it.
I wont give up the chance that there is a coincidence but I also think that it is probably not.
Cost aside, lets look at frequency. Even if the windows updates did give as compelling reasons to upgrade as the OSX upgrades did they are 1/3 of the speed. Apple has put out major improvements over the last 3 years since the release of 10.0. Panther has things that I can't imagine living without, even compared to Jaguar let alone 10.1, I'm not going to even touch 10.0. Apple has said that after Tiger that they are going to slow it down a bit because they can't keep up with this level of development for long but even still...
I can see it now:
Our newest greatest spy behind enmy lines must imput the code on the first try or the whole plan will be boched. Damn! 1/10 chance of missing it and of course he did! The free world is doomed!
I'm sorry but these guys aren't better than Apple's guys. It is pretty easy to get around the DRM the way they went about it. On top of that it wasn't reverse engineering that they did, they just looked for holes. If the number and affect of windows virus teaches anyone anything it should be that holes are very easy to find.
