Todd, I cant get to the first link, so I will assume it is to the Charles Rangel bill. The other bill is by Fritz Hollings (a RIAA/MPAA favorite). Since the two Senators who have written these bills are democrats, who are you advocating voting for? I was sure you were against Bush (who does not plan on reinstituting a draft). As far as I can tell neither bill has much of a chance of passing, but who knows.

I just spent 10 minutes writing a tool to generate a Makefile for a directory of .cs files, I have to wonder why I didn't do so a very long time ago.

Updated: I didn't assume anything and I am not naive. Just mentioning a related fact in case anyone believes the conspiracy theories going around that Bush and/or Republicans are secretly planning what Democrats are doing in plain sight. In any case, (most) politicians are members of a party in which they both have influence and are influenced by, so it is related to the presidential vote.
