In Wisconsin, AFAIK, most polling places allow you to register at the polls the day of the election, usually just requiring two items as proof of residency.
However, I don't think that you receive any proof of registration. I wonder what happens in this case?
I've been paging though the comments on this article, and nearly every comment that points out that this is not a free service (it's taxpayer-funded), or that taxpayers should do this privately, had been either ignored by the mods or given negative moderation, usually "redundant". One guy pointed out what this really is, communism, and he got modded to 0. By contrast, all the positive mods appear to be going to those who are saying what a great idea this would be.
Damn. I was really hoping these would stick around. It would have been a great addition to my aspiring Car PC project. Time-shifting talk radio over XM would have been neat.
As far as I was concerned, devices like this were one the major reasons to subscribe to XM instead of Sirius.
That's good and all, but I'm referring to something basically just like that, only it checks regular IMAP (or POP) accounts. AFAIK, KCheckGmail only does Gmail accounts.
Anyone know of a popup email notifier that's designed to run in the KDE or Gnome taskbars? I've been looking around for one and can't seem to find anything.
I own the domain of my last name, for example jones.com. Most spammers guess that a catchall will be placed upon that root domain. However, I create an MX record for my full name, john.jones.com, and then do a catchall of (at)john.jones.com pointing to my account. Spammers seem less aware (zero guesses so far) of MX domains. Then, wherever I have to give out my email address for a registration, I give a "unique" address used just for that site, such as slashdot(at)john.jones.com. This way, if any one address becomes abused, I just put a nouser entry in virtusertable for that address.
I just hope this doesn't catch on too well;-P . That would really reduce the effectiveness of this method as spammers would catch on. In which case, unique addresses would have to be explicit (many aliases) as opposed to implicit (via catchall). Slightly more time consuming.
Yeah, because "if I want to smear my naked body with mayonnaise and sell pictures of it on the internet, that's my right!"
Sheesh. I'm really sure this is what the founding father's intended. Obscene speech is and always has been limited. The only difference now is that the liberal courts of today show total disregard for legal precident on this subject. Today's court's don't apply laws, they unlawfully create them to fit their biases.

I saw this coming. I real shame too. I really liked TechTV. Now that I've moved, I can't get TechTV OR G4. The cable company didn't carry either network.
From the FAQ: "The new site will incorporate features from both G4TV.com and TechTV.com."
While this sounds great, more often when one company buys or merges with another, the resulting website contains little to none of the archived content that used to be available before the merger. This results in millions of broken links across the web and a loss of vast amounts of documentation and software. TechTV.com has been a fairly useful resource to nubies and even some old hats. It'll be a shame to see all of that content disappear.
You may hate the state tax systems, but you have a hell of lot more control over it. In fact, that is the whole point behind state's rights. Unfortunately, we had a war-time crisis decades ago that required a federal income that that was intended to be temporary, but of course, became a permanent staple of our already overpowering federal government.
But then again, what would you know about American history when all you base you beliefs upon is a failed Communist Manifesto.
IIRC, IBM does or did have a ViaVoice library ported to Linux. No, it's not OSS, but I'm not even sure this is relevant given the context of his statements. He implies that Microsoft, and Microsoft alone brought us those technologies due to thier bold daring, and not the reality which is that they saw another opportunity to further kill off competition with sheer monopoly weight.
I seriously do not see what the big deal is with this show. It's some of the worst SciFi I have ever seen. The effects were horrible. I've seen/. make a huge deal over this show and it's demise, and I just cann understand why. I happened upon it one evening while channel surfing, and at first I thought it was hilariously bad, but then it got painful within a matter of minutes.
This story alone is bait for arguing the merits of a war with Iraq. Please mod story as troll.
Seriously. While we're passing judgment, let's remove that comment from the story submission about sending "anti-war messages to our 'president'". A comment like that deserves if not requires response.
Moderators, please mod this comment (as in the one you are reading now) offtopic, because it is.
While we can all send anti-war emails to 'president' of the USA...
I shall take this moment to send an email to our president thanking him for the courage, in the face of opposition, to stand up for freedom of not only this country, but the freedom of the oppressed in other countries as well. But I guess you'd call that a pro-war email. Never forget those who died for freedom. Whether they be soldiers in the middle east, or an average Todd on a captive airliner.
I used to use Hotbot all time time before Google came to maturity. It used to give me the most accurate and usefull results of any engine. What was really unfortunate is that the search results seemed to suffer seriously once Lycos bought them. I think the engine must've changed. That'll happen in acquisitions: A good product is bought up and suppressed by another.
I've been using Linux exclusively on my home machine, work machine, and laptop for nearly a year now. I've been using Linux at work for as many as 4 years. However, I have a crutch called Windows Terminal Server. The reason why is that I cannot get certain applications to work under WINE. For example: Oracle JInitiator. Oracle seems to express no interest in releasing a Linux version of this java derivitive plugin, so I'm held to a windows app. WINE does not properly execute this as of one of the latest releases.
I think what is comes down to is that WINE needs to provide a stable platform for most all windows apps whether they be business or play. When that day comes, our terminal server needs a good boot to the head.

I see that you admit at least there is a global warming phenomena. Most scientists finally agree with that.
Wrong.
Oh... My... God!!!
The Earth's temperature has risen by 43.0C over the past decade!!! We're all gonna die!
The Sun.
No, really. It has little if nothing to do with us capitalistic humans inflicting our evil habits on poor Mother Earth.
Or has everone forgotten that apparently robotic Mars probes cause global warming as well?

Who else has the guts to get speech, get the recognition levels up, get the learning levels up in the standard interface?
Gee, let's see: IBM ViaVoice for one, and Dragon Naturally Speaking for two. Microsoft didn't innovate that, they assimilated it.
Where can I find that stream? I've been keeping an eye out for one.

because we all know how expensive it is to mass-produce lightbulbs. II think that could have been left out of the list of examples
Does anyone remember 'the really big button that doesn't do anything' web page? That was hilarious.
That was one of the first sites I ever visited when I got my first internet account. Good memories.
