So what the hell do you expect? This is New Jersey, whose various governments have a reputation for corruption that makes the chicago machine green with envy. Someone is benefiting from the use of these voting machines, payment for them, support of them, transport of them, incumbent protection by them... oh hell, its New Jersey; all of the above! By your anonymous posting, I'm guessing you live in New Jersey.

I prefer it when Slashdot gets these things before any other organization...keeps us l33t:) Huh? What's Slashdot got to do with being l33t?! I'm afraid I can't parse that sentence.
That's about what I was thinking. Actually the first thoughts out of my head were:
"Oh, for fuck's sake! Is creating and playing music really that fucking hard?" I mean, people have been doing this shit for CENTURIES, folks! Millennia even!

I've always wanted to do that study since the mainstream press started rattling out 'studies' saying that videogamees make people violent, but lacking formal training in psychology, a degree in psychology or psychiatry and so forth has prevented me from performing or publishing such studies. The reason is that this is usually pretty much how I feel after playing almost any games -- online or not, even first-person shooters.
Maybe I'm the crazy one, who knows, but games seem to be a good way to relieve stress for me.
What if it's an important call? What if my wife just got in a car accident or something? That's why I have an established emergency protocol with my family members. If they call and I don't answer the phone, I'm busy, so leave a voice or text message. If it's an emergency, either put 911 in your callback number or 911 in your text message.
Haven't you figured out by now that corporations do not pay for things like that, their customers do? Sort of. That would be 100% correct if corporations could always price their products and services however they wanted. The reality is that they can't really build everything into their pricing structure. In a free market economy, there are other factors such as competition and the law of supply and demand. Some costs do come out of a company's bottom line.
Vista 64 bit is 64 bit down to the kernel. Uh, no it's not. There are still large chunks of 32-bit code in Vista. Granted, much of it is for legacy support, but still, Vista is not completely 64-bit.
Now, 64-bit Ubuntu, OTOH, is completely 64-bit if you don't install any 32-bit libs or applications.
What the hell is the difference if Google gives preferential treatment to DoubleClick customers or simply customers who pay more? Either way, the benefit to them is the same -- more money in their pockets. And neither course of actions seems to make them any more trustworthy, IMHO. The only thing that makes Google (as a search engine) trustworthy to any extent, in my mind, is that they don't try to disguise paid advertisements as search engine results.
*The keymapping on '/' (to move the thread toolbar) is the same as the quick search in Firefox. Any quick search will move the toolbar around in an annoying fashion. Firefox also supports Ctrl+F for find, in addition to '/', which I think is included to appease pesky Vim users.;)
*The margins are too wide except for those who have wide screen monitors* Works for me just find on my 17" monitor.
*The 'more' functionality is fundamentally broken. It loads new entries by date instead of the logical position in a thread. Individual threads should be fully populated or at least have a 'click here for more entries' option. For old stories you shouldn't have to search the page again from top to bottom for the more darkly shaded newer comments after you click on more.* Agreed.
*The parent and reply buttons are wasting huge amounts of bandwidth. For example, for one entry we have 479 bytes wasted: Piffle. You probably hate Google Maps, too.
Just make up your fucking minds already, every other week coffee is bad, then good, then bad again.

It's the media. They take a single study and purport it to be some kind of fact. Science doesn't work that way. Science only considers something 'known' when independent study after independent study shows the same thing to be true, and no studies which may have been contradictory have been shown to contradict the findings.
These things take time. Looking at one study alone can be interesting, but it's stupid to take that study's findings as gospel truth.

libglade is LGPL, so the version it's associated with doesn't matter much. All versions of LGPL are compatible with GPLv3. Most, if not all, of the GNOME libraries are also LGPL. Not like the mishmash of licenses in KDE:) *ducks*
GladeGen also uses PyXML, which in turn uses libxml, which is MIT licensed. No problem there.
Most of the rest of the code Stylus Toolbox uses is offered under the PSF license, which is GPL3-compatible according to RMS.
Anal? No, RMS is anal about copyright. If you want anal, read RMS' comments about the schism between GNU Emacs and XEmacs/Lucid Emacs. That's anal. I'm just trying to cover my legal arse, because, you know, lawyers tend to be far more anal than myself.
For example, [Ll]ibertarians don't tend to see politics in this light. They see things as "statist" or "non-statist". Any viewpoint favoring the rights of the individual over the power of State intervention is non-statist. To a [Ll]ibertarian left and right can both be wrong, as they may, and oftentimes DO, both represent a statist viewpoint.
I know you're trying to be helpful and I'm not trying to pick on you, but lots of people seem to not read what I write before replying. I'm not singling you out, just letting everyone know that if you're going to reply to me, at least read I wrote:
The problem is that the linked-to article, all the documentation that exists for GladeGen, only mentions that the code is GPL; it doesn't specify a version and there is no COPYING file or mention of a license in any of the files or source code.
This is exactly what's stopping my project from adopting GPLv3. Stylus Toolbox uses GladeGen for some of its more complicated windows (I did the initial design using GladeGen, but the rest of the project just uses stock PyGTK code).
The problem is that the linked-to article, all the documentation that exists for GladeGen, only mentions that the code is GPL; it doesn't specify a version and there is no COPYING file or mention of a license in any of the files or source code. So I'm not entirely certain as to the legal status of the code other than it's probably licensed under some version of the GPL.
If David Reed or Linux Journal could come forward and clarify the legal status, that would be most helpful. Maybe someone with a legal background might provide some help, too.
But privacy protections do not extend to protections of illegal activities. This comes up more often in relation to drug investigations Drug possession and distribution are criminal actions. The RIAA is filing civil copyright infringement suits. They are not the same thing. In either case, a proper subpoena from a judge, for just cause, must be served before the school can legally produce these records. I don't think that the RIAA has done that in many cases -- they just demanded records from the schools and some schools, fearing legal initimidation from the MAFIAA, just turned them over. Both the school and the RIAA are liable for FERPA violations in these cases.
In the exchange you proferred, the school broke the law. They should have, to cover their legal arses, requested the cops come back with a subpoena. THat would be completely within the law.

Exactly. The government derives all of it's powers from the U.S. Constitution, which delineates, specifically, what those powers are.
Additionally, all of our elected public servants, upon inauguration, take an oath in which they swear to protect, obey and uphold the Constitution.
Therefore, if Bush thinks that the 4th Amendment doesn't apply to him, These United States should therefore execute him for treason.

Hmph. I wonder how legally binding that is. Because the article doesn't actually say "GNU General Public License", it just says "GPL."
