  1. Very Similar Idea on "Wiki the Vote" Project Open-Sources Candidate Info · · Score: 1

    This is very similar to http://www.issuedictionary.com./ They are trying to provide an easy comparison mechanism for candidates based solely on facts. They already have a good deal of information about the 2008 Presidential Primaries and are planning to expand to cover every election soon. Their layout seems easier to use than this site's and their information is already populated. It might be worth checking out.

  2. A great book on this topic on Internet Turns 35 Today · · Score: 2, Informative

    Katie Hafner wrote a great book entitled "Where Wizards Stay Up Late" thats all about the creation of the arpanet. It is more focused on the work that was going on in Boston and I believe MIT at the time than the specific stanford happenings but has a ton of information on both. This is a very interesting read. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0684 832674/qid=1099089921/sr=8-1/ref=pd_csp_1/102-7568 317-3623330?v=glance&s=books&n=507846

  3. In my experience... on MP3 Going the Way of the 8-Track? · · Score: 1

    I live on a college campus and like many other students know exactly where I can find music that I want. Although I will admit that a few years ago I never saw wma or aac and now i see maybe 1 or 2 albums in that format. The defacto standard still is MP3.

  4. has anyone read the cathedral and the bazaar? on Xandros Recruiting Beta Testers · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I thought that book was required reading here. Eric Raymond discussed that linux has been successful because it was released early and often. This compared to comercial software built in the cathedral style which takes months to get to a buggy release. This beta signup sounds like a cathedral style.

  5. obligatory Simpsons reference on E-bike E-xperiences? · · Score: 1

    I get to work on a go-kart powered by my own sense of self satisfaction.
