Writer should be ashamed

*** is this junk? Publishing political propaganda should be considered writer suicide.

Horrible article!

[TBolt]

disagree with you

if you don't like it, don't read it.

[Penguinisto]

Why?

I suspect the same questions are being put to other candidates,
where they get an equal chance of bloviating (or having a staff
member bloviate on their behalf).

To be honest, pretty much all of the current candidates are
barely tech-oriented enough to use their Crackberries. After
that, I sure as Hell wouldn't trust them to write code or admin a
network... similarly, I'm not so sure I'd trust them to do anything
legislative (or executive) with the tech realm except on a very
broad scale.

Until we see former programmers and former sysadmins get
elected, don't expect things to change too much for the better
vis-a-vis tech and politics.

No question about spam

What would she and other candidates do to stop the attack on our
inboxes by spammers?

[loki_racer]

Gov't should do nothing...

The government should't do anything to stop spam from reaching your inbox.

You should do something about it. The government shouldn't have any power over what reaches anyone's inbox. Big Brother already reads everything in your inbox, why have them limit what you can read.

If you don't like spam, blacklist the sender.

[Penguinisto]

Death Penalty!

But to be honest, there's frig-all that they can do, and using law
to solve a purely technical problem is not something I'd really
want to see...

/P

[Nicholas Buenk]

Nothing

Spam filters work. You want a communication system to be open to
allow people to talk and communicate without restriction. Internet
revolutionises communication and increases the power of free
speech.
SPAM is a consequence of that, but it's easy to deal with with
filtering software.

Tech questions

Why no question about electronic voting?

Dear Hillary...

Dear Mrs. Clinton,

We, the American people, do not want "a review of a range of issues related to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act." We want it REPEALED.

[Lee in San Diego]

Now with that I agree.

It went way overboard and this comes from someone who creates
graphics and videos.

Anybody but Bush and we win....

It really doesn't matter folks, Bush is THAT bad a president. If cross dressing Guliani wins, we win. If the Cult Mormonist Romney wins, we win. If CFR Hillary, Thompson, Obama, etc win, we win. If nut cases Tancredo, Gilmore, or any of the socialist candidates win, we win.
If Ron Paul or Kucinich win, we really win.

The only people that think Bush is doing a good job is Bush, and maybe William Kristol.

[Nicholas Buenk]

Yes but...

I think huckabee and romney seem just like bush.....
