It's kind of discouraging when you never get anyone you vote for elected.... Just can not see voting any other way though. I just wish we could get rid of the real scoundrels - how does Orin Hatch or Ted Kennedy stay in power? (No, thankfully, I do not live in Utah.) I guess it's the old boys network? But maybe there has never been more integrity in politics, and I am wishing for something that has never actually been?

Noticed in RMS's blog that ASUS basically told him that Free software is not a big enough market for them. I really am looking forward to the day where published hardware specs are the norm, but I guess I will have to stop buying ASUS products for awhile anyway.I really wonder if they just don't get it, or if they see some advantage I can not understand.

I am encouraged by Matrox's new support of open source drivers though. I always did like Matrox, not the fastest at 3D, but more than enough for any of my (and most business application's) needs. They always seemed more reliable to me as well, which somehow has always been more important to me than fancy pixel shading tricks. Guess I'm just not big enough of a gamer.
