  8. They might get less vandalism if they limited data on OpenStreetMap Reports Data Vandalism From Google-Owned IPs · · Score: 1

    They might get less vandalism if they limited data entry to Apps, not command line input.
    Eg, most of our geo-data comes from apps. Its more trusted since its unpopular to spoof GPS in an app.

  9. Help your city council say no. on OSHA App Costs Gov't $200k · · Score: 1

    There should be a website called "usagovernmentXML.gov"
    That's what we want and no more.

    Although that isn't alot of money, its still shows the arrogance of the government, never asking the community what they need, just plowing ahead because no one tells their budget office NO.

    Here's my favorite example. In Oakland TN, the cops asked for 3%raise. A Tea Party rep stood up and said, "The citizens cannot afford any more taxes!". They voted it down, why? Because the TeaParty gave the city council solid backing to say NO.
