Pick a legislator, a governor, a vice president, a senator,a president, or someone in power and tell me where they stand on technology. Please site your references and write it in your own words.
I picked San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom. Mayor Newsom started “Open Data Policy” on the site Datasf.org. This is open data, participation source on an open website. This site will be an interaction between residents and agencies and will share infor. There is an interactive crime map with San Francisco Crimspotting. This is a link that take you to areas where there is crime and what the crime is.
He also supports EveryBlock. This is a breakdown of what neighborhoods are requesting from their government.
Mayor Newsom issued an “Open Data Executive Directive”. This asks that government be open and put anything that is not confidential on “Datasf.org” for all the public to see.
To me this technology will make sure that there is nothing hidden in the government (but of course, there still will be), but this is a good start. He is trying to bring in public partnering with government.

I've said that ME was a horrible operating system. Explain as to why it was such a bad OS and what some of the problems were. Also, tell us if you have had experience with it.
Windows ME was unstable and unreliable. It would freeze up and crash often. Some found it difficult to install and getting to to run correctly. It did not work well with the hardware and the software on your computer. Malware would reinstall with a system restore. System restore would use incorrect date stamps on the system restore. You could not trust the date stamp after Sept 8, 2001. Microsoft had to issue an update to fix this.
ME did not support MS Fax, QuickView, Active Directory and more because this release was mainly targeted to the home user.
Micrsoft released 3 Beta version during the development. It was released December 31, 2000 and support ended Dec 31 2006.
I remember having this, but at that time, I was just interested in basic computer fun. I remember installing ME and thinking this MUST be better, the packaging and commercials were so cool! And it was "first" upgrade and I thought I was so cool getting the latest and greatest!!!
