Comment more powerful then ammo, open sourced govt (Score 1) 849

You know what's scary? Maybe the crazies standing by with the ammo boxes are right.

hey, names aren't important, just opinions. this one shows up b/c rights are being stripped one by one. it's all fun and games till they start stripping your family right in front of you http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tVJb_wkI7jk now i didn't mean stripped literally but after writing it i remember a you tube vid of cops stripping a chick after SHE called for help from police. the guy says it best...could be YOUR WIFE next time! COULD BE YOUR VOICE/RIGHTS SQUASHED NEXT TIME! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=riboisae0JY&feature=related more of the same graphic torture our society lives with every day b/c out rights get abused each day now the ONLY thing I can possibly see making a difference within America is Open Sourced Gov't. One that's actually FOR the people and serves US. Currently we all pay taxes to get pushed around, abused, verbally harrassed, and if you put up a fight it gets WORST! They'll put you in a cell, strip you down to nothing (so undies and bra are gone), and have the male cops there while being stripped (violation of their own code they are SWORN to uphold!) b/c they break their own rules and aren't accountable the system ITSELF needs upgrading. votes should be counted online for things that matter. give everyone /w a social security # a password to the website for voting. stats on how you want your money spent. stats on who you want in office (like the vote for office we currently have but better), votes for rights and constitution (yay spell check, i can't spell it and they can't guarantee it for you atm). perhaps our gov't is a bit too over protective of us. perhaps being a bit harsh on misterminor crimes. in ANY case you currently dont have a say. you only got blue team or red team (favor the blue personally...lol). then the leaders either blue or red make ALL your decisions for you w/o a second thought. im sure the majority of people that are smart enough to "sign up" for military service to KILL PEOPLE for their country can make a simple check on an online govt website as to what THEY want from THEIR govt. doesn't mean it'll be counted (much like your votes last election...lmfao) but at least the facts will be open sourced for all to read and see and discuss in an open forum. think ms vs linux here. do you want a ms govt (current) or a linux one (future, better one)???? ms one has secrets, encrypted stuff and lack of options for consumers. linux costs way less, is more about the code then the bribes, and is editable (try editing your CURRENT govt ppl!!!) just saying usa/canada needs more open sourced things like this in order to evolve into the next century. heck, maybe we'll even earn us a true democracy. (don't even say you already have one when crap like this is always going down...like every day) mod this waaaaaay up guys. i wanna hear open sourced govt talk on /.

because http://rockbox.org/ has software to put in new firmware avoiding this big mess. I agree that it should just be usb mass storage device. This site can make that happen.

someone mod this up for "the peoples". I've hunted for something other then Apple's filename switching firmware for a while now. Easy drag and drop songs and delete/rename them from the ipod. There are even themes to make the ipod look like winamp or other skins from users.

rock box is like firefox for yer Ipod. Open code wins again!
