Steve,

It sounds like you are mixing issues here. It should be cheap to figure out the people who vote. Otherwise people can't exercise their political voice.

The voting record records only if you voted or not.

It should be harder not to vote than to vote.

Aggregation is something that is easy to do if you are large institutionally, so essentially you are rewarding people for size.

That isn't democratic.

Who exactly controls the information? What kind of roadblocks are they going to put up? The fact that I'm a voter needs to be public for all sorts of reasons...

Very nice technical presentation.

Did you do a cost comparison or model as well?

What are the best sites for reviewing what kind of security to implement? I don't think I'd send a manager to Stackoverflow.

About the only kind of software I can deploy to the hundred of sites I connect to is open source.

Everything else goes through a completely different channel.

The script published in...

A quick look at the license shows the Minion customer may not:

b. Evaluate the Software for the purpose of competing with MinionWar

Licenses written like this are a can of worms.

This update of the script outputs 2 formatted columns in addition to the raw numbers:

DECLARE @intDrive Integer,

@strSQL Varchar(100);

The spackle articles would do well on a wiki.

This is my ad hoc drive space query I use:

/* drive space */ if (object_id('tempdb..#drivespace') is not null) drop table #drivespace create table #drivespace (spaceinfo varchar(256)) insert into #drivespace(spaceinfo)...
