It's all about the FREQUENCIES! Actually though, this system can be used to find copies of any sound -- sound bytes, commercials, music, whatever. We just happen to be using it for politics because we apparently hate fun. We're

The current "most recent" quote is pretty unfortunate; not only is it sexist, but also a pun! DOUBLE WHAMMY. But I would implore folks to look past that type of thing (by voting it down) and find true gems :)

Sure, in the same way you would water a sapling more than you would water a tree. You need to take special care when it is needed -- right now women face a toxic environment in the tech industry; men do not. It isn't sad that we are t
