    This is Blake Ross. He was one of the main programmers for Firefox. Which is an actual program.

    12:00 in a 12-hour system can mean either midnight or noon. In a 24-hour system it's always noon.

    They don't own it but you rarely see 24-hour time in the United States outside of the military.

    And the majority of people who like high-end PCs for gaming build them themselves.

    Just because a virus exists doesn't mean it's going to immediately INFEKT TEH WORLLD! Smallpox the virus still exists in two chambers in Atlanta and Moscow. Smallpox the disease hasn't been seen for years.

    The bigger problem is that the guy who runs Diebold publically stated he'd deliver the election for Bush.

    I saw nothing of the sort. I saw "Oh my god, Kerry is an evil killer of military babies!!!111xor!!!" and the last time I saw any mention of Limbaugh was when he was shown to be a flaming hypocrite with respect to drugs. But don't let reality's liberal bias get in the way of your truthiness.

    Hugo Chavez doesn't need his voting machines to be bugged. He has a band of thugs killing his opponents. In addition, he is only 'liberal' in the sense that Republicans call anything to the left of Attila the Hun 'liberal'. The only good tihng I can say about him is that he's better than the dictator that the CIA wants in there.
    Besides, Venezuela sold their shares in Smartmatic as soon as Chavez' partial ownership of the company was widely known. And this was quite a while ago.

    ...Because Blake Ross has a history of writing good programs, while Microsoft has a history of writing bad programs(Although it's not because their programmers are bad per se, it's because the company is, in the words of Paul Graham, a walking mountain). In addition, Blake Ross's effort is cross-platform and this makes all the difference.

    Sony still makes good hardware. Their $10 headphones are still better than any other brand of headphones costing less than $50. And the Sony HDTV upstairs has a much better track record than the Panasonic that was up there but broke...twice.

    Blu-Ray is supported by a myriad of corporations, much like the other famous Sony-based(it was a Sony/Phillips collaboration) standard. Its competitor, HD-DVD, is supported by...Microsoft.

    Business is corrupt because the majority of businesses aren't accountable to the people. Government is corrupt because it is only accountable to the corrupt businesses and not to the people. We need accountability--period.
