    Looking for website programming help - where to post ?

    The best thing you can do is put together details as to how you see the system working, what it will do, and how people will use it. Put together mock interfaces if you want. One of the most time-consuming aspects of software development is figuring out exactly what somebody wants. The more...

    the climate of fear

    http://archive.org/details/congressionalrec109gunit I found that... but didn't see anything in there. I mean, maybe it was said maybe it wasn't... it sounds incredible, and would be more incredible if I could find that it really was said ;-)

    the climate of fear

    That's a circular reference... one of the many "advantages" of wikipedia. Wikipedia refers to the link posted above to cite from the book, not the book itself. Anyways, I downloaded the congressional record and there was no mention of this... though it's possible I downloaded the wrong record...

    the climate of fear

    This is the first I've ever seen this, and I seem to be unable to find this in actual references (i.e. the congressional record mentioned). Any credible citations or links to original sources?

    the climate of fear

    People often look at me as if I'm a nut because I won't fly due to body scanners, and that I believe that the government is out of control. "The government is there to protect us" is the mantra these people hold. They are quite happy to be molested, x-rayed, poked or prodded by Father...

    How do you respond to "If you don't like it, leave the country"?

    Well, this type of thing is childish baiting. However, I think somebody did tell the manufacturing jobs to leave the country, so kudos to you Mr. Leave the Country If You Don't Like It, you torched the industrial sector. Which one is next? Yes, there are other reasons for manufacturing jobs...

    John Dennis: I despise the TSA... I despise everything they stand for!

    I haven't kept up, sorry, but I'll donate to him.

    John Dennis: I despise the TSA... I despise everything they stand for!

    Is this a candidate to give money to, as in, is he Ron-Paul-Compatible?

    Ron Paul Won Early Primaries, Mathematicians Find. Election Judge Threatened.

    Just some things to think on: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudoscience * Use of vague, exaggerated or untestable claims * Over-reliance on confirmation rather than refutation * Lack of openness to testing by other experts * Absence of progress * Personalization of issues The last is...

    Conservative Statistical Post Election Audits

    Good find! I'd have to read in detail to see what parts are missing, since it state that it provides an existential proof rather than a constructive one. If not for the personal attacks from the other threads, this is the type of thing I'd normally be willing to do for fun. There was another...

    Email idea. Next step.

    I would suggest that Google Groups is a bad idea. First, if Google abandon groups this would leave the movement at a severe disadvantage. Second, I would be concerned about creating "islands" of support with no interconnection. I think that it is important to have some sort of...

    Email idea. Next step.

    Well, building the tool is trivial in comparison to figuring out that we end up where we want to be. A few points: - Email is really outdated... aggregated RSS feeds based on things you like is much better - Project management has to be an important part, to allow a small group of people to...

    Email idea. Next step.

    I have some feedback to provide on the organizational structure, but first: it is critical that there is some sane way of keeping a healthy environment in place. I myself have left RPF for periods of time after being brutally insulted by "supporters" who are here to destroy others working. It...

    Email idea. Next step.

    You could say this about pretty much any website. I think the point is that the website should be an interface to a special tool to help do the coordination, think webapp not website.

    Email idea. Next step.

    The point is not "another website", at least to me... not sure the OP's view. I think we need something that is a type of political SVN + Project Management, which I do not believe exists at this moment. Yes, the concept might be fleshed out into a website at the end, but the driving...
