Evidence that some people get it

Brief notes:

California released standards for electronic voting systems that include a voter-verifiable paper trail. See Wired. As far as I'm concerned, this is a minimum for any voting system to be worthy of use.

This has received plenty of press already, but it fits in here. The FTC has stated that a No-Spam email list will not work. See Wired, or many, many other places. It's sad that this was even considered.

From the UK: The BBC's online Creative Archive will contain audio and video clips of nature programming available for British citizens to view, share, and edit (for noncommercial purposes). See the source of the day, Wired. This is a nice step. The article also contains my quote-of-the-day, from Union of the Public Domain coordinater David Tannenbaum:

"We want to make sure that the archive is more than just shagging marmots"

(Note: a marmot appears to be some sort of woodchuck. Google it yourself or try http://www.marmots.org/.)
