  1. Re:Let me be sure I understand.... on How To Spot E-Vote Tampering? · · Score: 1

    I feel the voter id law is wrong... -chris http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=26725 The well-publicized nuns in South Bend, who were reportedly unable to vote during this year's primary election due to not having proper photo ID indeed had the opportunity under the law to cast a provisional ballot and have their votes count by producing ID within ten days. This is eight days longer than Jimmy Carter even suggested when the Carter-Baker Commission suggested photo ID was needed in the polling to boost election integrity and participation. Sadly, they all waived this right to participate in the election process.

  3. Latitude and Longitude on NASA Will Go Metric On the Moon · · Score: 1
    I thought the mars orbiter used latitude and longitude for earth and planetocentric coordinates for mars... (That would be degrees [base 360] minutes and seconds [base 60]). The shape of earth or mars is approximately a prolate spheroid. Now, which way does that planet like object rotate?

    Of course, if we had a decent base two measurement system, we wouldn't need to worry about converting between binary and that obsolete decimal stuff.
    --YMMV (your [nautical] mileage may vary).

    It is your choice. If you want to store the numbers on the GSM chip you get one number for each name. If you want to store the numbers in the phone itself you get multiple numbers for each name. The GSM chip only holds 250 entries.
