There was some web-based game I played a few years ago where you did this. You rolled up a player, levelled up in dungeons, where you'd get loot to fund development of your own dungeons, from which you got bonus XP or something...you could find stuff like monster generators and the like to flesh out your dungeon, and I think you paid for the total room count with gold...
You audit the machine as per the number of voters authorized, by hand, at the sight, by the people verifying your ID and voter enrollment, as per the number of votes actually logged in.
The funny thing about odds are, even if the chances are only even marginally possible approaching infinity, you only need *one* trial to actually pull it off. Million to ones don't always take a million attempts, sometimes it's the first, and sometimes it's the four billionth.
So if nobody has the concept, until they're given the word...
Who makes the words?
I call BS.

I'd rather make them use spyware-crippled first-release XP installs with no firewalls or patches with no spam blocking on their email clients as they are forced to write, print, address, stamp (at their cost), and send a personal apology to every person whose electronic privacy they have invaded.
If that doesn't make them see the errors of their ways nothing will.

Assuming you don't find some lost Shakespeare plays in the set :)
About a month ago I wrote a script to unrar some 50 episodes of anime which had been lovingly individually (and pointlessly) rar'ed.
Script had a small bug, so failed to decompress each episode then went and deleted it...
Killed script after only wiping 2/3 of episodes...had to look into the fun world of ReiserFS deleted file recovery...
fun fun fun fun - got most of it back though!
The funky name.
You are my foe!
A page with some info about the KT boundary impact event:

It doesn't go into numbers about volume of debris, but a 10km body striking the Earth is *really* bad news.
So they found someplace warmer, where they could just eek out a life...maybe a nice warm hot spring, or a volcano.
It's a big planet, and lots of bees.

It was a fun game, but I don't recall the name.
I've got an original copy of Final Fantasy 1 sealed in a box.
Yes, I know admitting this makes me seem lame.
Bringing it to the ground is easy.
Keeping the ground in one piece afterward...difficult.
Make up a word, if in your using it you transfer the idea you wanted to convey...congratulations!
You just participated in a living language. Screw the pedants and their rules.
You mean as soon as the sniffer runs the code to happily open whatever holes in the XP firewall it wants...the firewall will happily let it.
I've read the story but I don't recall the author, sorry.
But it was pretty cool.
attacking China is extra stupid?
Man, now *there's* the understatement of the day.
But then you end up with a pipe bomb that can't have sex as that's bad for the children.
Grumpy grumpy grumpy pipe bomb.
Maybe it's accelerating, you know, by X hertz per second... :)

WinFS is just NTFS + SQL Server.
Same crud, extra layer.

Edge cases man.
/. isn't a clean source of energy, you fool!
Think of the trolls!
Sounds like a plan!

I have a feeling solitaire is the most used piece of windows software...
It's sad it is also the most polished and reliable piece of software I've ever seen from Microsoft.
Hey the economy isn't in the toilet.
It got flushed a while ago...
...because we blew all our cash on the nifty black stormtrooper outfit.
