How's it any different than going to SpeedTest.net. As far as I can tell, the only two differences are 1) broadband.gov doesn't give you a shiny little sig badge to wave your download speed around in and 2) SpeedTest.net isn't going to put pressure on Verizon/Comcast/etc. to provide better broadband.

Submission + - An Open Letter to Ballmer: Show us the Code

DigDuality writes: "Showusthecode.com requesting anyone involved in the Linux communities and companies to stand up and demand that Steve Ballmer show the world where Linux violates Micosoft's intellectual propety. He has been making these claims since the Novell-Microsoft deal. This is a challenge and when answered by May 1st, Linux developers will be able to modify the code so it remains "free" software. If such code doesn't exist, the bluff will be called and many companies can rest soundly. It is calling out for ever leader in the Linux world to stand behind it and give this campaign it's endorsement. If not answered and if the campaign garnishes enough attention, the community and companies behind linux can consider his slience for a bluff being called."
