Outside of making a search engine or trying to make a new browser or at least a plugin, I don't see how this would be useful. Getting anything fixed on the web is a heruclean task unless there is money not being made. Getting a government site fixed is harder than getting good legislation passed.

If it was a project that tried to route around things and auto sent emails with an overview might work, but I expect they would be thwarted by stupid network policies.

You wrote them up so when the question comes up you can copy and paste out point then to the line number. Make them feel mildly embarrassed for not looking for it. It won't stop all of it, but it helps.

Really cool bit of computing history. Thanks.

Because the system was intentionally designed to make it difficult to get things done. Parties make it easier, and a lot of bad law gets made because of it.

I understand wanting to not vote dem because they can't govern and fail at getting things done in general, but why do people vote for the "we will intentionally make things worse" party? Third party is a better use for every vote, but especially with the Republicans.

Third parties are another side. R and D are awful. Those choices are simply how fast you want to slide into fascism.

Geeze. Why can't the handful of countries that share governance of the cruise lines and Antarctica just tell them no tourist? Absolute failure at every level.

Bad news on your rosy world view, but the real reason for our penitentiary system is to create slave labor.

Absolutely great work. Never would have even considered a steno.

Good thing congress and Joe decided to squash the strike so that workers have to keep issuing unsafe equipment. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure trump would have done the same thing. Sounds like we need something else to happen.

I'm just a hair too young to have dealt with gopher in any meaningful way, I went from bbs days to the web. The changes happened while I was in the military and I heard people talk about the web. Thought it was just bbs with some new terms. Played with gopher and Archie, Jughead, and Veronica after I got far enough in to understand the net just to see what else existed. Really cool to get some historical context on this stuff.

Absolutely using racism to vilify the natives.
