The deposit is returned only if the candidate is elected or goes to the second round. There are 24 registered candidates, obviously most of them participate just to get some publicity.

I've always had problems with the "the"s and the "a"s. But as "vader" means "father" in Dutch, and "darth" is coming from "dark", it makes sense to say "the Dark Father"... sortof.
Submission + - Darth Vader runs for president of Ukraine
neuroscroll writes: An unorthodox candidate presented himself for the future early presidential elections in Ukraine: the Darth Vader himself is promising to make an empire out of a republic. He is the official candidate of the Ukrainian Internet party. Personally, I would prefer Yoda.

Comment 386 DX - a rock band like no other (Score 2, Interesting) 104
It's a "group" with only one performer: a 386 40Mhz PC with some MIDI and sound synth software.
Official URL is http://www.easylife.org/386dx/After years of begging and pushing by his fans Shulgin decided to approach Staalplaat music publishers when he was in Berlin to give a concert early this year. Recorded in London like every resectable music CD, this CD is not just another collection of music on another silver disc though: you can boot your computer from it and have your own 386 DX. Ready for performance, ready to create both sound and vision in early computer aesthetics. The CD contains an illegal copy of an early version of Windows (3.1)and you can run your computer with it. But most importantly the CD contains cyberpunkband 386 DX's most popular tunes: pop songs from the last thirty years played and sung by a computer.
