Sometimes, open source can be a pain in the rear (e.g. the *nuke family of blogging software, the umpteen variations on the theme of Linux, etc.). But there are also times when open source can be a thing of beauty. If you use Apple Mail 2.0 in Mac OS 10.4, there is a wonderful add-on …
One more reason for DC for Democracy to vote against endorsing the September 24th rally: “DC for Democracy is a grassroots organization located in the nation’s capital that works at the national and local levels to promote political empowerment, integrity in leadership, and transparency in government.
