I think voting in the US is like the taxcode, deliberately fluid and hackable.
All slashdotters know that any online bank or Pricewaterhouse could implement a convenient, accountable online voting system. Here I just created a group to see if anyone agrees. http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=84902568935
I think I am going to boycott voting until this Diabold or NorthDakota voting crap ceases.

1) I stopped watching TV when I realized that viewers feed on crime.
2) I only visit four sites everyday, thepiratebay, popularmechanics, popsci, wired, and slashdot.
More often than not, slashdot has been pissing me off, perhaps moving toward subnote#1.
RIAA, oBAMA, neutrality, Evolution.
Can someone point me to a way out of this?
Perhaps my hobbies will be my slashdot-patch, slowly weaning me off this hysteria and actually doing something constructive... http://benedicts.webs.com/howtobuildawallthing.htm

My wife uses a speederaser and hasn't gotten a speeding ticket in years. http://www.gpscruise.com/
It lets you change the speed and share it with others, not realtime but nightly-ish.
I usually see where/if $1000 donation would help somewhere and hire a linux consultant to build that missing piece. Then the world is a better place.
Ask not what Linux can do for you, but what you can do for Linux.
No one has said this so I will.
Linus Torvalds needs to be convinced to become president/CEO of Linux, Inc before its too late.
All problems can be solved with leadership.
I know he is resistant, being a brilliant engineer and probably feeling it is egotistical, but we need to convince him to get in the spotlight TODAY.
The question is, do we want it to become sucessful? I say its the contributors that say, if you build it they will come. That isn't working.
We need to all buy Linus some plane tickets to San Jose and Moscow so he can assume the throne. Someone go convince his wife that the world needs him, all of him.
While we are at it, get a good second in command to help him thru it, perhaps someone from the EFF.
Someone tell me where to donate to this cause and I will send $20 today. Screw redhat we need the king back in full swing. He can do it and we must demand it!
1. When I am mayor, I am going to make the police "on call only".
There are enough cams that people can shoot of crimes. Every offense mentioned above involves patrolling. Removing patrolling would make the USA a better place.
2. Someone needs to offer a crime-report app for the iphone. For $19.99 per incident, you can upload a video, audio, text, testimony, date stamp and it will get processed by a lawyer-proxy. Any attorneys listening?
My kids private school is $5k/yr.
Public education is $10k/yr.
Hmmm.
I don't see why inner-city kids don't start a smart-school. It isn't that much money. $100 lottery tickets a week and voila, private school.
For the life of me I don't see why schooling isn't outsourced like prison or IT.
P.S. Don't hate defense spending. The US Defense department created GPS. Many many jobs are still being created from GPS!
P.S. Slashdot is the worst website for remembering to autolog-me-in. Why is that?
I always just use the litmus test:
Republican: Defense, Liquor, Tobacco, Small biz.
Democrats: Lawyers, Unions, Porn, Pot, Hollywood.
God I love to vent on slashdot....
Just think how much they could power reduce and cost reduce if they dictated the chip-specs!
Every year chips get more complicated for one specific reason. To prop up the cost. Often the designer didn't want it, but it is forced down his throat along with the higher pricetag.
I think this is a great move by apple. It must be related to that Verizon deal. They are now the king of the little-screenies..
Thats like banning craigslist because its nasty.
I encourage people to put legitimate stuff on TPB.
I put good church sermons (occasionally) on TPB.
(I would provide a link, but TPB is blocked at work...)
Slashdot Mirror
It may be a new type of palm-esque-anote language. Gestures like a stenographer. Similar to sign language ASL. Would be fun to watch it unfold!
We always look for some hitech solution in aviation.
At Dulles Airport in DC, they shoot off a carbide cannon a few minutes prior to takeoff.
Its a really loud bang that no-bird enjoys!.
I think he wants the text material, like Algebra, to be written-once, adjusted yearly, then available online.
It seems silly for California to support Glencoe-books in Chicago who change the text every-year adding trivia and stuff that obsoletes quickly.
The material is pretty stable, I think its a good move.

I agree.
There are only two things they are looking for I image: childporn, copyrightViolation.
So we need to invent porncrypt
It turns images into text and vice versa.
It turns movies into text and vice versa.
Everyone loves everyone while its free.
This minute you charge, people bitch.
Funny story:
My neighbor was playing sim-city.
He was the mayor.
If you have ever played it, you know that the city councilmen constant talk/complain to the mayor.
My friend (the mayor) lowered taxes to 0.0%
He said that even at 0-taxes, some councilmen still complained of high taxes!

you are wrong. +/- 1mph.

These guys sell a gps cruise control called the speederaser.

As far as content, we have some of that at wiki-speedia.

Make it a pdf.
That might slow down piracy.
I agree, but we have all made that mistake once. Have you? I have.
just put a gps jammer in your trunk. They will put the tracker near the trunk so jam there.
That way it won't interfere with normal gps on the roof.
I agree. How did Robin go from zipcar to mesh?
I had an MBA friend who wanted to market a cordless hairdryer. I just shook my head.
Robin, I have a good cause, help me out. Its called wikispeeedia . It helps people be safe if they want to.
We need to take back OUR roads.
Here is how to fool md5sum in DOS.
.\tempcalc still works, but its md5 is hosed!
>copy calc.exe tmpcalc.exe
>echo hi there >> tmpcalc.exe
>dir
calc.exe 123,123 bytes
tempcalc.exe 123.134 bytes

What me worry.....
I had the same problem. Someone told me opt-outs get marketed, just like dead DNS's get harvested.
I just hit gmail-MARK-AS-SPAM.
Ahhhh that feels good....

I think the AP is fishing for our next move.
E.g. what technology we will use next.
Why TF don't they just encrypt CD's, DVD's.
IMHO, this is just an excuse to fuck with every aspect of the internet!
