- BeltwayOutsider writes in with a link to an MIT Tech Review story about a guy who, just as an exercise, created various potential scenarios to increase the information a voter is aware of before voting in an election. We're not talking about electronic voting here, but changing some of the fundamental methods of deciding who votes and how they vote. None of these plans is a "recommendation", but, rather are designed to get people thinking beyond what they may have considered before. People seem to get angry about his ideas, but I'm not sure why. It actually wouldn't surprise me if his first scenario came true - though, it would be an indication of how intellectually lazy some of us had become. |

- When the Department of Justice hauled Microsoft into court on antitrust charges in 1998, Silicon Valley was awash in schadenfreude. For years, Microsoft's Windows desktop monopoly had inspired equal doses of fear and distrust. It was time for payback, courtesy of Uncle Sam and your hard-earned taxpayer dollars at work. |

- To my friends who communicate with me via e-mail: The anti-spam 'solution' I've been using for the last 4-6 months has been an absolute nightmare, especially because it was too easy to accidently blacklist someone. It depended heavily on my going through tons of spam manually and building my own rules, and its built-in rules did nothing to intelligently block spam. |

- Maximum Leader W and his handlers are pushing images of Saddam Hussein's cruelty as their last vestige of justification for invading Iraq. Video images of Iraqis being tortured and stories of Saddam's elimination of the Marsh Arabs have spiced up recent presentations by Deputy Secretary of State (and neo-con war-fanatic) Paul Wolfowitz and others. The dripping hypocrisy of these belated justifications is disgusting. The Bushites know full well they would not be in Iraq if they had tried to use... |
