Disappointing after all this research that the message they found inside was "Be sure to drink your Ovaltine."
Submission + - Pirate party unites in Australia (itnews.com.au)
bennyboy64 writes: "iTnews reports that the Pirate Party has opened a branch office in Australia and is recruiting office bearers and supporters. The group updated the Australian website it registered last year and advertised for a president, treasurer, secretary and supporting positions. A party spokesman, Rodney Serkowski, said the group was close to establishing a beachhead in Australia. He said that with 300 supporters it was on its way to signing the 500 it needed to become an official Australian political party. 'We are currently an online community, working together with the intention of becoming a registered party, and we're coming closer to reaching that goal,' Serkowski said.'If we can get the required 500 members, and be registered by years end, I think it is highly probable that we will contest the next Federal election in Australia.' Serkowski voiced his concerns about file sharing, copyright law and Senator Conroy vowing to tackle illegal file-sharing. At the weekend about two percent of Germans voted for the Pirate Party although it needed at least five percent to gain a seat in the German parliament, the Bundestag."

The New York Times has an interesting tool for reviewing the debate. Alongside the actual video, there is a transcription (which you can click on to go to that section of the video), a search tool (that counts the number of usages by each candidate), a topic segmentation view, and even a fact checker that links to corrections.
