Shutdown Day. Can we please increase the "I cannot" votes? Thanks.

I don't like harping on other's posts, but why should we increase the "I cannot" votes? Why does it matter what the vote count is?

They want you to register and give an E-mail address just to vote. I suspect that the vast, silent majority of "I cannots" can't be arsed to jump through hoops.

Eh, it's not as bad as Buy Nothing Day, so long as it's just about PCs.

While this must have seemed like a great idea while sitting around the drum circle/coffee house, I doubt in the execution.

March 24th is a Saturday, so you're not exactly asking the world of people who use computers at work to skip a day without one.

I wonder if the site will be up March 24. I'll have to check then.

Where's the "I don't want to" button? Or maybe the "wtf for" button?
