...but if we're going to bring it down to a level that's approachable by more people, we can at least make the attempt to do it with accuracy. The Tao of Physics, What the bleep do we know etc. is full of just plain old BS. People who know better have a duty to call them on it.
Fire your co-location service. It's their responsibility to field these complaints. Move your business to someone responsible.
I realize this experience is very unnerving and frustrating, but please understand that I'm getting sick and goddamn tired of all the spam in my mailbox. Something has to be done about it, and it won't get done until we hold someone accountible. If your colo service won't hold the spammers accountible, then as far as I'm concerned, we need to hold your colo accountable.
The solution to this is to tie voter registrations into the DMV's Drivers License and State ID tracking systems. Of course, most state governments aren't there yet, technologically speaking; but it can be done. Hell, you could have same-day registrations with that system.
As far as the vote goes, all you'd have to track is that the person voted, not the content of the vote.
"Election-day registration": Need to read the bill. If volounteer (partisan) groups get to haphazardly register people at the polls, that's a bad thing. Registrations should be in order some weeks before the elections.
If you can verify that the voter has a valid registration, what does it matter when the voter was registered?
Good. Productivity could go down, but it could increase turn-out and the importance of the election in people's minds.
My personal answer to this: eliminate President's Day in favor of making Election Day a national holiday.
Not sure. Is a felon that has served its sentence entitled to the same rights as others?
No, but in most states a felon who has served their time can vote. The states where this isn't the case are the exception, not the rule. Moreover, the felon exclusion laws are subject to abuse.
Now, how about non-citizens voting and proof of identification? Anything on that?
Why not tell your Senators that you'll support the bill if these are included?
I sympathize with you, and I"ve commented on DailyKos that Open Source Journalism should at least be licensed under the Creative Commons Atribute/NoDeriv license (or something similar). So far it seems to have fallen on deaf ears.
If Gannon/Guckert, a reporter from an independent online non-mainstream news site, cannot get a White House press pass then no blogger/open source journalist will get a pass.
Well, certainly not with a website that's only five days old.
We're looking at deploying Borland or Atlantic at our shop; I'm hoping for Borland Together, frankly, because I'm used to Borland products and their MDA tool looks a lot more mature. Anyone out there have first-hand knowledge to help compare and contrast? Demos and tinkering on a test box just doesn't answer enough questions for me.

As if there wasn't enough lunacy in Parliament.
Just sayin', it isn't unthinkable for an institution to purchase something like this.

And it's probably just as worthless.

Whom do you trust to protect your interests?
I know whom I trust to protect mine, and it ain't the GOP.

Sure, but unlike Rush, they're held accountable for what they produce.

...he fits right in with what I've seen of the culture of the University of Illinois at Chicago.
etc. is not an acronym of three words. It's two words, et cetera, abbreviated to et c. or etc.
I've got a penny jar, a 4 digit ID and a live-in girlfriend. So it can't be that uncommon.
....but I do know that they're taking applications for volunteers to sit on the local draft board. I got my application in the mail just last week.
Does anyone else find it annoying that the stream is interrupted every ten seconds to buffer?
And it's true -- these are two topics that are sure to get people's blood boiling.
I didn't know Hong Kong had a one-child policy. I know the PRC did, but not HK.
Coming from an AI background and now working as a COBOL programmer (thank you dot bomb), I feel your pain.
You mean like Millenium Man? Or, according to some interpretations, Blade Runner?
I'm thinking it'll be LucasArts, which liscenced the Return to Wolfenstein engine for one of their Star Wars games.
