Listening to NPR, I heard an interview about a voting program called PVOTE that is written in Python and only 500 lines long. From the article : "Pvote is not a complete voting system. It is just the software program that interacts with the voter. Other necessary functions, such as voter registration, ballot preparation, and canvassing, are not part of Pvote. It is especially important that the voter interaction be correct because it is the only part of an election that must take place in private, whereas all other parts of an election can and should be subjected to public oversight and verification.

In a move to counter Dell's acquisition of Equalloigc, a storage solution, IBM has stepped up and made XIV their own.
Although I can understand IBM's move, I cannot, for the life of me, understand a 7-8 minute rebuild time for a large raid5. Pixie dust? Magic elves?

A company has developed a coating for electronic gadgets that will supposedly repel water.
May I please get a spray can full of this stuff so I can coat every component in my PC then plunk it in an 30 gallon aquarium?

NO GAS...On May 15th 2007
I am liking this idea!
Don't pump gas on may 15th
In April 1997, there was a "gas out" conducted nationwide in protest of gas prices. Gasoline prices dropped 30 cents a gallon overnight. On May 15th 2007, all Internet users are to not go to a gas station in protest of high gas prices. Gas is now over $3.00 a gallon in most places. There are 73,000,000+ American members currently on the Internet
network, and the average car takes about 30 to 50 dollars to fill up. If all users did not go to the pump on the 15th, it would take $2,292,000,000.00 (that's almost 3 BILLION) out of the oil company's pockets for just one day!
STICK IT TO THE MAN!!
