May I offer two suggestions? - Call the voting receipts "ballots" and treat them as the official vote in cases of doubt. - If the local recount does not match the state database, two or three more polling places get selected for a recount.
re: encouraging people to resign: Emplyoees who face the desicion of relocating or leaving will take their chances on the job market into account. Those with valuable skills and initiative are probably more likely to find a job that allows working from home or is located close to their home and will choose to leave Yahoo.
The fact that USB sticks, laptops, hard disks and CD-Rs were not yet invented helped here I guess. I mean it is pretty hard to lose a filing cabinett in the tube or in a taxi.
AFAIK on Windows, the hiberfil.sys is not deleted after resuming from hibernation. It will still be there if you wake your machine up from hibernation and shut it down normally.
Personally, I think that would only count as a sign of bad taste and too much money to spend.
Learning that someone of a specific gender and age group in your neighborhood spent 50$ in Allice's and Bob's Adult Toy Store wouldn't be that much different from "anonymised" nude photos.
Nothing was taken away (well, manybe if they used the office copier they stole paper, toner etc.) I'm sure I've read that copying != stealing somewhere around here. Actually that might make it an even worse crime than trespassing, burglary or theft: copyright infringement!
Finally! All those hours wasted on cracked.com pay off now: http://www.cracked.com/article_18385_7-bullshit-police-myths-everyone-believes-thanks-to-movies.html the Insanity Defense is attempted in less than one percent of all legal cases, which essentially means that more people have tried to pin their crimes on aliens or their evil twin rather than their own basket case, shoelace-eating lunacy. Of that tiny fraction where the lawyer was even willing to try it, the defense is successful less than 25 percent of the time. Three states in the US don't even allow insanity as a defense. Then, in that tiny, tiny fraction of cases where the guy "got off" because he convinced the court he was insane, he doesn't get to just go home. You get sent to a mental institution where you don't have a set sentence at all--they keep you as long as they see fit, which may be forever. You're there until "deemed safe to return to society", which according to the American Psychiatric Association is usually twice as long as the jail sentence would have been.
It's fun to dream of comparable actions against "insane" corporations though. I'm sure a lot of slashdoters can draw parallels between their workplace and a lunatic asylum anyway.
Umpteen years ago, I read that during the middle ages animals and even the weather were sometimes brought to court to answer for their crimes. I think, I understand now the motivation behind charging a pig with, say, heresy. In a word: Bacon.
See, that's what I meant with "common group of events". Tsunamis are often triggered by earthquakes, so it would make sense to expect that both can happen together.
Redundant systems are a good idea, but you should ask yourself if one event (or a common group of events, like an earthquake and a tsunami) can knock out all of your systems at once.

Damn, where are my mod points?

You have a lot to learn. There's no reason to sell data to only one paying customer, is there?
Yes, the end game was a draw, wasn't it?
I can echo that. Despite strabismus, I'm reasonably good at judging distances in archery and fencing.
When inspectors would show up unannounced, Iraq wouldn't let them inspect..

Frankly, as a non-American, it scares the shit out of me to hear such things from a nuclear armed superpower.
I'm pretty sure they are illegal in Afghanistan as well.

That may be the case. However, most people respect her and don't think anybody else would have done a better job so far.
An interesting side effect: A few years ago, a most PV panels installed here in Germany where actually produced in Germany. Since there is now a much bigger market for them, production has shifted abroad, mainly to China (of course).

A bit slim on fireworks and light effects, but you have to see and hear JSB rock the harpiscord.
If you want to immerse yourself in the world of Hooke, Pepys, Newton et al., you should read "The Baroque Cycle".
Unless they plan to use microwave beams for power.

Some things don't change.

You would have to update all chips quite often then.
So, you'd like to see his death certificate?
Seriously, what would you consider evidence? Would a document be enough, or would you settle for OBL's head on a pike on the White House lawn?
