• * Don't complain about lack of options. You've got to pick a few when you do multiple choice. Those are the breaks.
• * Feel free to suggest poll ideas if you're feeling creative. I'd strongly suggest reading the past polls first.
• * This whole thing is wildly inaccurate. Rounding errors, ballot stuffers, dynamic IPs, firewalls. If you're using these numbers to do anything important, you're insane.

I think that's a pretty accurate summary of the problems with elections.

Ill-considered soundbites from haphazardly-picked and uninformed local citizens has been a staple of local TV news for decades.

One technique is to use a password that is a function of the website domain name. For example, all of your passwords could be the number of characters in the second level of the domain, a random string, and the first letter of the domain. For slashdot, the password would be "8RANDOMs". This won't protect against a person who knows your password, but it will stop a script that knows 44,000 username/password pairs and blindly submits them to websites.

Isn't it obvious? It prints the string "unix\n".

I like listening to the BBC on my Sirius satellite radio. Also, in some towns you will find a station that re-broadcasts news at least part of the day. Look for non-profit stations that are not part of NPR.

In which direction?

I recall there being issues opening old docs in Word 2007. If I were a bigger microsoft troll, I might have even saved the links. I suggest searching out the last OpenOffice post on slashdot, and perusing the comments. :P

I don't understand why a working husband and working wife would pay more? They could just file separately and therefore fall lower on the progressive tax scale, and pay the same as if they were not married.

I'm 45 years old, which around here makes me an old fart. I remember when the phrase "word processor" meant a dedicated machine designed to do one thing: document editing. In 25 years, the old farts will be saying "I remember when the phrase e-book reader meant a machine designed to do one thing."

I liked the mafia style warning that the White House has been giving to their media cronies too. "Dont follow Fox". I dont think it was so much an attack on Fox, but more of a shot across the bow that they had better start ignoring any criticism and keep pushing the talking points... or else.

I recently received a warning from my bank about some more legislation that is being passed that will restrict/reduce their ability to collect transaction fees from vendors. They came out and said clearly that 60% of their profit comes from those fees and if this legislation passes, they may be forced to stop issuing and cancel VISA/Debit bank cards. Cant wait to see the talking too that WH communistcations sends out.

If there is such a large community why are they not working on the ati drivers? And if they are, why does the ati linux drivers still sucks?

Facebook doesn't send a notification when you unfriend someone. Either one of them could have (and should have) unfriended the other one.
