I just saw Google tell everyone that "Democracy works best when we all participate." Lately I have come to believe that this is not true. For instance, a lot of young people are registering to vote, and yet they can't name any real reasons why they're voting for their candidate of choice.
Please, if you don't know what you're voting for, don't vote. Democracy works best when the electorate isn't ignorant.

Docx Annoyances
I had a client call me with a Ubuntu EEE PC who was unable to open .docx files in OpenOffice. Fortunately, I found a couple solutions:
First, a web site that emails you converted docx files: http://docx-converter.com
Second, a plugin for OpenOffice (yes, it works on Linux).
