When my company was a subsidiary of the Time-Warner network, all our servers were named after Warner's cartoons. We had elmer, porky, tweety etc.
On my home network, I have penguins. It was touchy until penguins got popular after Madagascar came out. I have tux, opus, chilly and rico right now. My wife collects hippo figurines, so she's got gloria (also from madagascar).
Guess you missed the part where volunteer poll workers used "leftover" voter registrations at the end of the night to make up for the lack of legitimate votes in both Gary, Indiana and St. Louis, Missouri.
Voter registration fraud or voter registration errors aren't an issue unless actual voting fraud occurs which is much more difficult.
I'm guessing you meant more difficult to prove.
Oops, guess you missed this too:
(Albuquerque, NM) - Public records released in New Mexico today confirm that fraudulent voter registrations are in fact turning into fraudulent votes. ACORN, currently under investigation by the FBI, is now confirmed to be responsible for producing fraudulent voter registrations and illegal votes in New Mexico. An inspection of public records has revealed that illegal votes were cast in New Mexico's 2008 primary election.

"The sin is the hypocrisy. The Republicans present themselves as the law'n'order party. Vote for us, they say, and we'll keep you safe from all those eeevil dark-skinned criminals and Muslim terrorists and hippie commie weirdos."
I usually vote republican when I can't vote libertarian, although I did just vote for Kentucky's new Democrat governor.
"Law'n'order" has absolutely nothing to do with the way I vote. "Stay the hell out of my life and get your frickin' hands out of my wallet" has EVERYTHING to do with the way I vote. Seems a lot of/. readers bemoan the evils of the government, but are all too willing to vote for the very candidates that will give them MORE big government. I just don't understand it.
So I mostly vote the lessor of evils. And that's usually a republican, although this time around there's not a dime's worth of difference between Obama, Clinton & McCain.
I'll probably vote McCain, just because he can probably postpone the food riots a couple of years longer than either of the Donkeys. But I'm really beginning to doubt that I'll die a natural death.
And I'd go tit for tat with you about personalities, starting with Teddy Kennedy's underwater date and ending with, well, it hasn't ended yet. But that's useless. We'd just be talking past each other without a chance of ever convincing the other of ANYTHING. So we'll just have to agree to disagree.
But grok on this while we're waiting; I vote the way I vote because I want a government that will leave me the fsck alone. Not because of law 'n' order. Not because of a religious belief. Not because of Muslims or hippies (I'm still known to take an occasional toke, and my hair is longer than that of most of the women I work with).
And BHO, HRC & McCain don't want to help me, they want to CONTROL me.
As I said, I don't hope to convince you here. Hell, I can't even convince my own wife. But... Peace out, dude.
Actually, they're down to 1 7/16" x 3 7/16". And 3/4" plywood is actually 23/32", just enough to require a special router bit if you want tight joints.
In the time it takes to complain about this on/., you could instead let your own Congresscritter know how you feel about the subject. Letters (real, paper snail-mail type) work well. Phone calls and faxes are next best. Email gets the least amount of attention. (Wonder why that is?)
So call 'em. Write 'em. Tell them the same damn thing you'd post here.
They got enough phone calls over immigration that it shut their switchboard down. That got their attention. No reason we couldn't overload their switchboard as well, is there?
Damn, I wish I had my mod points from yesterday back.
There's not a dime's worth of difference between the Democrats and the Republicans. On the one hand, you've got the (conservative) Republicans shoving the Patriot Act down our throats, while the other hand, the liberal (Democrat) SCOTUS is busy allowing people's homes to be taken from them and given to private developers to increase the tax base.
A pox on both their houses...

Asshole.
Diego Garcia was one of the first things I thought of as well. I did TWO tours there in the '80's, and was there for the quake of '83. It literally threw me out of my rack in my third floor barracks room. I kissed my ass goodbye that night, for there is NO high ground to move to, and shore patrol was driving around announcing that everyone should move to higher ground and brace for a tidal wave. The only thing that saved us that night was that the earthquake occurred so close to the atoll that the tidal wave didn't have enough distance to form.

I've had a devil of a time downloading Slackware 9.1 the last couple of nights. Slow downloads or "too many people connected now" errors.

Getting errors about glibc...

I agree wholeheartedly, up until your comment about wasting your vote in the last election. I voted for Harry Browne in the last election.
