I hope the entire movie won't have that yellow "H" in the bottom right hand corner, though.
You know, if you hold shift and alt when you click the yellow H, it takes you to the official Pentagon conspiracy database. Sorta like the movie "The Net". Try it.
Yes, so that a candidate can campaign in California and NY (and maybe the Lake states) and be done with the election.
Hogwash. If the candidate is able to convince a person to vote for them, then that person will generally vote for them. Whether or not they campaign in a populous is practically irrelevant. I'd have to say that a very, very small percentage of people who are inclined to vote actually attend campaign rallys as it is. And of that small percentage, I'd sincerely doubt that their opinions are affected by what is said at such a rally.
I don't buy into this notion that, under a popular vote, presidential candidates would rally in populous areas, magically convince the majority of those people to vote for them instead of the other guy, and sit back and laugh evily as their simple plan falls into place. Of the people I've asked (probably 20), only one of them attended a campaign rally in 2004. They went in for that candidate and left for that candidate. How would popular vote change this?
When the founding fathers setup this system, they had no idea that in less than 200 years people would be able to receive news from 10000 miles away instantly, be able to travel 2000 miles in 5 hours, etc... Things have changed. As wise as they are and were, you can certainly bet that their ideas and ideologies would've evolved just like the rest of us. Remember that they were common people, just as many (most?) of us are today. Obviously their choices had little to do with information technology, since at that time it didn't provide such a powerful tool to make or break an election for most people as they research from the comfort of their own homes, learning more in several hours than might have taken them several weeks or more.
One person, one vote. The candidate with the most votes should win. It's not like people in rural montana would have their televisions blacked out and their internet disabled or filtered such that they couldn't research on their own. Also, keep in mind that as populous as US cities can be, most people do not live in major urban metropoltian areas.
Not to rain on your parade, as you may or may not know this, but there's more involved than money.
Namely, your best bet will be if you're young, are buying real property, and have a solid job offer that you can prove in writing in addition to having whatever funds they want to see to support yourself.
If I'm mistaken in part or whole, then I'd love to be corrected, since these are the things I've found that just stop me from picking up, buying a house, and moving to Canada while searching for decent work.
Creating an ISO image from an OpenBSD FTP download is pretty simple. With one simple FTP session and a subsequent mkisofs command you have a bootable ISO image with a full operating system that installs in minutes.
I have even written a small python script that will download a package and all of its dependencies so you can include it in your ISO image for easy access. Pretty simple to do if you know how the packages are laid out internally.
Sure, there is no full ISO to download, but all the pieces are there. Nobody forces you to buy anything.
Feel free to create an ISO image and share it yourself on a private mirror or bittorrent. I'm sure those of us who want OpenBSD on a CD will either buy the official set to support the project or create their own.
There's no need at all to fold them. Just keep them from grinding in the fans and all will be well. Instead of wasting 20 minutes folding your cables, go take a walk or something.

how much 2.4ghz it takes (or whatever frequency this would run on, i never rtfa) before we all develop cancer and are bleeding from our ears?

This comment is 100% stupid.
