Technical Glitches Plague BuyMusic.com
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/07/30/0152255
An anonymous reader submits: "Despite its much larger target market,
BuyMusic.com does not seem to be the runaway success that Apple's
iTunes Music Store was. USA Today is reporting that customers have
experienced [0]technical glitches that prevent them from playing their
purchases. Another customer reports that the BuyMusic tech support does
little more than say '[1]Sorry, but that's YOUR problem.' Finally, a
musician whose music is for sale at BuyMusic [2]questions the legality
of BuyMusic's catalog." Scriptygoddess's account of her unhappy
experience is [3]mirrored here.

all honest politicians would be working to make sure computerized
voting systems are open source, and why open source wouldn't hurt
well-run voting machine companies' profits. Not that most people care,

This is a hell of a law. It finds that various species of spooks are making avid use of commercial and governmental databases, merging them and aggregating them, without transparency, accountability, or any real understanding of the danger to civil liberties involved in this practice. Accordingly, it requires any Fed agency using non-Fed databases to cut it out and make a full report to Congress on who they're buying database and database-services from, what they're doing to preserve privacy, why they're doing what they're doing, and whether they actually have a realistic chance of catching any bad guys. And it calls into account Feds who abuse their authority and limits the kind of doomsday hypotheticals that can be used to justify such abuse.' [1]PDF draft of the bill here." Links

Proprietary voting computers: Threat or menace?
http://newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=03/07/25/1349255
- By Robin 'Roblimo' Miller - There has been a great deal of noise recently about the evils of closed-source voting computers and how easy it might be to rig elections with them because their proprietary code hides miscounts from public view. It's a little shocking that government agencies like the Federal Election Commission and mainstream news media haven't paid more attention to this problem. But do voting machines in common use today really ...
Open Asia: Under the radar, FLOSS thrives http://newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=03/07/23/1745235
- by Frederick Noronha - As we discussed last week, Free Software is flourishing in Korea and Japan, but the movement is strong elsewhere as well. Contrary to the presumption that GNU/Linux is almost unknown in Asia, FLOSS takes on the shape of a 'silent revolution' -- spreading across modems linking small brotherhoods (the lack of women's participation in computing in Asia is an issue yet to be seriously addressed).
Why governments should be allowed to specify Open Source software http://newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=03/07/19/1713232
- By Robin 'Roblimo' Miller - The idea of governments giving preference to Open Source over proprietary software angers short-sighted 'free market' advocates. But businesses that want to deal with governments have always been expected to meet special conditions, and requiring software vendors to make all code they sell to governments Open Source is no worse than many other government purchasing conditions. Let's start by talking about glue.
