    Look. Do governments always get things right the first time, or does landmark legislation, like the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and now the ACA, get tweaked over time and move towards single payer unlike the Romneycare the ACA was based upon? It is clear to me that you think a website is all that the ACA is. We can go on, but hey, have a good healthy life. Gotta get up manana and plug in some unprotected servers. Maybe President Obama can give me some tips? B-).

    Sorry you feel that way. I am more sad than sorry. So you actually think that lying about WMD, invading Iraq, was a good idea? And starting more wars would be a better idea? And Chuck Norris? Just wow.

    As far as the Huff post, you knows how to pick em, doncha? You do realize that the website is NOT like it was in October 2013, right? But maybe not. Hey, I hope you never get sick and have to pay every penny you have and then some to get well. I would suggest you check out dailykos.com for better information about how the ACA has actually saved lives. Peace.

    hotair.com/ Hot Air is the leading "conservative blog"for breaking news and commentary covering the Obama administration - boom. Hot air it is. Nice of you to post this, but suprisingly, I remain unconvinced.

    No I do not. But all the "statements" made by the commenter could have been lifted from Fox News. Anyone who thinks that starting multiple wars is a loon, in my book. Democrat. Always was one and always will be one. Knocked on doors for then Senator Obama in Iowa in 2007-08. Fought crazy Ron Paul supporters who lied about streets that had been canvassed. I did not listen to them and got supporters to pledge for Senator Obama, Ran for delegate to the 2012 DNC and won - went to Charlotte, NC and worked on both campaigns - 2008 and 2012. Are we clear?

    Yes - it's a big failure. Let's keep doing what the Republicans want you to do when you get sick - die. God. /. has gone to conservative hell. And you think you are right - that is the saddest thing.

    Has /. Been hacked by right wing crazies? I thought nerds were too smart to believe Fox News. And yet it's always Obama's fault. Yeah, I am sure he personally patched in the server by mistake. #EverythingThatGoesWrongCanBeBlamedOnObama

    That's risible. Nowhere is Fox, Bush, or Obama mentioned.

    Gotta love the hilarity that ensues when the anything that implies just a smidgen of Obama administration ineptitude penetrates an echo chamber like Slashdot.

    A factual account about a specific failure on a government program is labelled "hacked by right-wing crazies" by a "BLAME BOOOOSH!!!" loon.

    AND it's modded up.

    And yeah, Obama's inept.

    Compare his response to Russians shooting down an unarmed airliner to Ronald Reagan's.

    Compare Obama's response to a US citizen getting his head hacked off by an Obama-proclaimed "JV team" of terrorists (that has managed to take over 1/2 of Iraq and Syria - some "JV team"...) to the response from UK Prime Minister David Cameron.

    Look at the situation in Russia - where Obama's minions were so prompt in making fun of Mitt Romney just 18 months ago when Romney said Russia was no friend to the West.

    Look at Libya - where Islamist just took over the abandoned US embassy in Tripoli. Hey, but the bombs Obama dropped there weren't "hostilities".

    Gotta wonder what the poster I'm responding to would say if George W. Bush had ever claimed dropping bombs weren't hostilities...

    And let's not forget about "the dog ate our hard drives, blackberries, and backups" IRS bullshit.

    You certainly sound like you eat drink and poop Fox News. And now you want us to start yet another war in the Middle East? So according to you, we should declare war on 1. Russia - no problem there - they will probably welcome us as liberators! 2. Attack ISIS - YES! this one is so easy - let's DO IT NOW! 3. Let's bomb EVERYBODY! That always works. Who got Bin Laden? Mission Accomplished Flyboy Bush? Done.

    Cool. Forgot about the filters. The BSOD screensaver project sounds fun. What I like about the Pi and these other one-board projects is that they are not "buy something and turn it on." You have to really think and learn about Arduino scripting (???) I read a bit more about the project - so the scripting by Arduino controls the stations that the radio can play - plus, it is limited to Google Play. The same guy built an interactive coffee table with LCD screens - hopefully coffee proof - so I am leaning towards the internet radio due to time constraints.

    Been away for some time now from /. A.C. swoops in and uses such respectful terms like "retard?," and knocks President Obama? You are SO not brave. I would suggest minimizing or eliminating the A.C.. Bring back real moderation. Most commenters here are very smart, but stuff like this brings down the level of discussion. Btw, so as not to veer to far off-topic, I have a PI yet to be used. Saw a nice internet radio project recently. The cabinet was beautiful (his dad built that) and the son set up the PI.

    Yup. They have one where I work. But since I focus on closing out tickets, not too much time is left for this. Unless they force me to use it. I used to be able to call or IM another team about an issue. They stopped responding and said "post this on our community." So instead of actually answering my question, the "solution" is to ask it in a different place? Alrighty then.....

    Well, I became involved with the Obama campaign in 2007, and after that, spent more time on Daily Kos. When I saw /. pop up on Facebook, I started to read (and repost) a story here and there. After 9/11, I discovered that other some IT people I had worked with at the World Trade Center were Republicans. I would find that I could have a dialogue with them for a while, and then they would regurgitate the latest "Fox and Friends" lie - BENGHAZI! - and I would have to let them go. I guess it astounds me that tech-savvy people have views like "less government," which they share with tea-baggers carrying misspelled signs like Keep Your Hands off my Medicar.
