They might get less vandalism if they limited data entry to Apps, not command line input.
Eg, most of our geo-data comes from apps. Its more trusted since its unpopular to spoof GPS in an app.

Comment: Help your city council say no. (Score 1) 234

There should be a website called "usagovernmentXML.gov"
That's what we want and no more.

Although that isn't alot of money, its still shows the arrogance of the government, never asking the community what they need, just plowing ahead because no one tells their budget office NO.

Here's my favorite example. In Oakland TN, the cops asked for 3%raise. A Tea Party rep stood up and said, "The citizens cannot afford any more taxes!". They voted it down, why? Because the TeaParty gave the city council solid backing to say NO.

Knowzy writes "A section of the America Invents Act disallows issuing a patent "on a strategy for reducing, avoiding or postponing taxes," according to Forbes. The article describes one such strategy in some detail. The USTPO has already issued 161 of these "business method type" patents. 167 more were pending. The law only applies to future patent applications, leaving enforcement of existing patents an issue for the courts to decide."
