Techdirt's New T-Shirt: The 2016 Election Choice... In Code
from the e-voting? dept
Limited time offer: Support Techdirt and get a Vote2016() t-shirt or hoodie!
Techdirt tends to care about policy a lot -- and politics very, very little. But you have to admit that the 2016 Presidential election is fascinating on many different levels -- in part because the unfavorability ratings of both major party candidates is at record breaking levels, and perhaps for good reason. Since you guys seem to have really appreciated our first few t-shirts/hoodies, we decided to create a new one that reflected a more techie perspective on this election, and the recognition of how many people may be voting... expressed in code. Buying one not only gives you a chance to express your opinion (and geek-cred) on the election, but it also helps support Techdirt.
Once again, we're using Teespring for this campaign, which means if you want in on the initial run, it's only available until Monday, August 15th, so order yours today. The t-shirts are only $20 and the hoodies are also a steal at $35 — and this time, it's also available as a sticker!
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team

Re: I Wonder Why ...
You can technically get away without punctuation but some meaning is lost While you can still parse the sentence correctly it becomes a bit more difficult to do so Just because you can depend on a compiler to do something for you doesnt mean that you always should

scanning for viruses... Hit 1 of 1
PatrioticDuty2Vote appears to be an extensive and invasive trojen/virus based on a collusion of several common cognitive bias errors- this causes victims to suffer group insanity, by continuing to support and legitimize candidates and parties that do not represent their interests, (and due to financial realities will NEVER properly represent) because they believe it will be worse if the other candidate is elected.
