Before we get an online voting system we need a political party worth voting for!

I would love to see a preference based voting system and mandatory voting.

So when there are no viable options we can say so instead of not showing up.

Because being filthy stinking rich and not having to struggle to make a name for yourself is NOT the goal of many up and coming -insert art form here-.

I think George is OK with where he is, rolling around in all that money.

Why not maintain the IPv4 for the home scale devices (5 port routers) with a IPv6 WAN side connection?

It seems very overkill to push IPv6 to the home level even with "network light bulbs" how many can one house have? 20 - 30 would be a lot of lights and even if everything in your house came with built in WiFi I don't think you could fill up 255 addresses on 99% of homes out there.

Also for a tech perspective can you imagine the support calls with customers rattling of IPv6 addresses all the time?

  my $0.02 anyways.

My vote is on Sony!!!

          They made some system update with poor/broken security measures and then hit the big red OMGWTFBBQ button to kill the PSN. Why else would it be a world wide problem not localized to region?

I thing these guys nailed it...

At my work we routinely supply panel PC's for industrial conditions, water, dust etc.

They are well rated and have options for docking stations as well.

You can run the server software ( Free ) on any older machine and the phones are nearly open source with the options they have.

The Phone can be expensive but any unit ( phone, cell, PC etc) that can run SIP based telephone calls will interface fine.

For example I have a HTC Dream with android and the SIPDroid app works very well.

It could work if all your projcts were episodic in nature. If you never had to revisit old code or have more that one person work on a project at a time. Think your favorite fast food place, they change managment constatly but because the problems they face never last more that a shift at a time it works out

Personally I think it's more of an issue when the ISS HAS more than one toilet in the first place!! Why on a craft so space constranined would you add a second washroom?!? Myabe for backup purposes but the fact that they went throught the entire process of putting a second one up there leaves me baffeled!
