I vote. However, for particular positions like judges, I won't because I am not educated. I spend a lot of time researching propositions and candidates. If all the candidates look the same, I won't vote. I also won't vote on the "lesser of two evils".

do any other banks have this?

you can call local beekeepers who will come out and take them home. I had a swarm adopt my tree as a new home. I called a local keeper and he came and removed them free of charge.

did anyone else find the background music inappropriate and distracting from the awesome research and results?

your parts may be larger than a turkey. Notice that the DIY oven is much taller? It can fit longer parts.

this is the best hacker news thread ever. DIY powder coating AND Harbor Freight! Bam!

I like the metaphor... whats interesting is the people complaining about the monkeys with sticks and rocks were the ones who gave the monkeys the sticks and rocks and now are sore about it.

The dealers chose to enact legislation rather than quit a business model that was being squeezed by their supplier. Find me a business that doesn't squeeze suppliers and vendors to increase their bottom line. The worst enemy of the free market isn't itself, its the crony capitalism that takes place when government gets involved. Its rare (if ever) that the intentions become the outcomes.

I'll be the first. I'd be very concerned about this type of communication system and my vehicle. My concerns aren't limited to government surveillance, but that certainly is one. I'm also concerned about malware or other security vulnerabilities. I'm also concerned about the government "requiring it" and the related costs associated with it. It will certainly drive up costs to consumers.

I don't believe that to be true. I'm a 1-man Corp. Corporations only there for liability limitations...

I've read that CentOS is the best Linux distribution for public facing applications because they take security very seriously. If you choose Ubuntu, use the LTS version so its not moving so frequently but still maintained. I use CentOS and Ubuntu for my web apps. I don't use Windows because my apps are all LAMP based and switching to Windows offers no benefit. If your Application is .Net based, you pretty much are required to use Windows (unless is Mono compatible)...

maybe you could ask the NSA about it... they seem to keep those records. </sarcasm>

Perspectives give insight into the "whys". You may not agree with the perscription, but understanding the diagnosis can be very enlightening. (For the record, I'm non-committal in either direction, atheism or otherwise).
