The Civil Rights commission couldn't actually find anyone to back that up with testimony.
However, in South Dakota, Native Americans could be registered for absentee ballots and vote without being bothered to do any actual work. A deomcrat electon worker will be going on trial for forging absnetee ballot applications in the next couple of months.

Amen, brother.
I would be a lot less anti-Microsoft if they actually put forth any effort at all to be compatible and/or interoperate with other OSes. I too am sick to death of the, "if you want to do this you have to run Windows" crap.
There's a big difference between casting your vote and bearing arms to put your man in office.
I doubt may Gore supporters would be willing to die to put him in office. I know I sure wouldn't have been willing to do so to put Bush in office had Gore won.
As far as it being a lose, lose situation. I think the american political system took a huge hit in 2000. From the perspective of the "good of the country", it sure looks that way. There is more political division. Being from "flyover country", I can say there are some serious regional issues too.
No, he wouldn't have been legitimate!! That's my point, no matter the outcome there in no way in HELL you can get everyone to agree on legitamicy here.
What your view of the 2000 election is is solely based on your political affiliation. There is no "right" answer that will satisfy everyone, probably not even an answer that will satisfy some.
Note: You are making the assumption that the 2000 election is a zero sum game (a common liberal mistake), in reality it was a lose, lose proposition for the US.
The fact that our government didn't disentegrate into complete anarchy is a testament to the structure of the union and its constitution.
First, another independent recount by the media found out that Gore lost. In fact I had never heard that there was on that showed that he one. Or did they have a different definition of hanging chad?
Second, one of the reasons they had for throwing out the military absentee ballots is that they weren't stamped by an election representative, by NO FAULT of the VOTER. I don't know about you but throwing out someones vote because of someone else's mistake is a bad thing.
Folks, Gore ain't your president either.
I don't wish to argue semantics on this. Truly open minded liberals should be able to realize that if Gore was now president instead of Bush, everyone would not be magially happy, it would just change which group was pissed off.
The attempt to recast software as a lease of rights rather than a cash-for-goods is immoral and (should it ever be tested in a court that isn't bought and paid for) ultimately invalid.
And that has been a major goal of Bill Gates from the outset with Microsoft. He is the one to blame for this mess (you are correct in it being immoral). Software licensing has been the driving force leading us down this path that ends with the loss of control of your PC.
The letter Bill set to Woz and the Homebrew computer club spells it out completely (sorry for not providing a link). It is scary reading and points to exactly what happened and what is happening with Software Licensing.
Oh if only the president had a more POSITIVE attitude, then every thing would be better. What a load of crap!!
True the uncertainty over Iraq is stalling economic recovery, but the flip side to this is that the bust is so bad precisely because the boom was waaaaayy too big. Nasdaq worth 5400?
No, the Nasdaq was never really worth 5400, people just kept throwing money at the market, inflating it to unsustainable highs. One of the big problems we're facing now is people are complaining about when the Nasdaq will get back that high, when in reality it never should have been even clost to that high in the first place.
In reality the "irrational exuberance" of the late 90's, whether or not attributed to Clinton, is the reason the downturn is what it is and why it is so hard to get out of. In reality the President at the time has very little to do with economy in many circumstances. The.com boom wasn't Clintons charisma, it was collective investors' flight of fantasy.
And when there are Hydrogen powered SUVs I will be in line to buy one.
People buy SUVs because they're useful, capable, adaptable vehicles, that doesn't change no matter what the fuel you are running it.
And with the article talking about buses running off of fuel cells, I have no doubt they will be able to power SUVs.
I am actually very anxious for this to happen so that all the whiners about SUVs will sit down and shut up. And yes, I'm certain that all the "other" problems envrionmentalists have with SUVs will just disappear when they are running on fuel cells, because they're just strawman arguments anyways.
Even so, I still think Murph's insights are very well thought out and presented.
On a personal note. I am trying very hard in my position to make every application used by my site be done with thin clients, be it X-windows on Unix or Citrix on Windows. Administration of applications is so much easier than individual clients it isn't even funny.
The time and cost saving for support for thin clients (no matter their OS flavor) far outweighs any other factor of TCO (which is bogus anyway) in my opinion.
South Dakota actually took the Feds. to court over the drinking age, and we lost.
Aren't government mandates great.
Only question though is what happens when a University turns in (I would guess) at least 60% of its resident student body for felony crimes? Cringely wrote an article not too long ago that stated that law enforcement will be overwhelmed if they actually catch everyone.
The other thing is that the RIAA should really think about pushing this kind of tactic. Do they really want to do this to their customers? I would think that any college kids busted for sharing music would be highly unlikely to ever enter a Record Store ever again in their lifetime.
I am a real engineer asshole, and the post was a WISH. The primary object of current OS development should be to make more secure and virus proof OSes.
There are ways to engineer this, there are things that can be added to the operating system to assist in this. Will there ever be a perfect, virus proof OS, no. But they sure as hell have room for a lot of improvement. I mean buffer overrunns, emailed executables allowed to run in a state capable of ruining the system, c'mon. Prevention for these things can be engineered into the OS (buffer overruns shouldn't be engineered in their in the first place).
People like you with their "Holier than Thou, I'm so damn smart" attitude really piss me off...
Funny I don't remember typing Microsoft anywhere in my post.
But, actually, I would perfer intrustion detection and prevention capabilities more than anti-virus features. Mainly because this would be more capable of stopping a "new" attack or an DOS based attack.
Its really sad that the concept of running a computer nowdays necessitates the use of extra software above and beyond the OS to basically secure the OS.
"Doesn't everyone run anti-virus software?"
In reality shouldn't we expect more from modern OSes? Shouldn't the code be more solid than requiring monthly patches. Souldn't e-mailed executables be run in a sandbox? Its a pity we HAVE to have virus software and even its not good enough, you have to constantly update it.
Basically I'm just saying that our expectations on software quality are so abysmally low that we are willing to put up with this crap. Imagine if the manufacturer of your car said - Airbags are your responsibility, you should install those on your own. Then people could say "Doesn't everyone install airbags in their car?". Its ridiculous, software should be better.
Scripting is the glue to tie all of the other stuff together, and automate routine tasks.
When all is said and done the design problem with many systems is making the assumption that integrating them with other systems is "easy".
Scripting is a necessary component of system integration and in that sense if you don't make it so you can use scripts to tie your systems together, you end up coding in more and more interfaces and wasting time changing things in complex code when what a simple solution would have sufficed.

Yeah, that's another popular liberal myth.

Thats centons not seconds ;-)
And they're supposed to get their body count numbers from where, the Iraqi government?
Sorry, if you consider US sorces suspect, you have to consider Iraqi sources suspect too.
The truth is, there probaly is no one who knows the Iraqi body count.
Prodigy had banner adds in the early 90's. On every page, clickable. I think it would qualify as waaay prior art.
Thats Ponzi scheme.

You should sign the shares over to IBM. ;-)
Or they could do this.
1. Close the doors and shut down the business.
2. Go Away.
Apparently Boies' trip to the Dark Side is now complete.
IBM should by every share of SCO's stock and fire every single person working there.
BTW: Unitedlinux partners better run, not walk, away from these people if they want to be able to sell their ditros.

Nope, competition these days revolves around getting yourself a monopoly any way you know how.
Then petty little things like good product and customer service can be ignored.
And the best example of this isn't even Microsoft, its the damn Telephone companies.
Funny I don't remember typing Microsoft anywhere in my post.
But, actually, I would perfer intrustion detection and prevention capabilities more than anti-virus features. Mainly because this would be more capable of stopping a "new" attack or an DOS based attack.
You're right, that would have been a better analogy.
