More importantly, if I have a double-size toaster running Linux, does it count the same as two single-size toasters running Linux? I've got twice the bagelflops...
Wait til we rely on biotech to live past 150 years and we're colonizing space. There Gates will be, deciding who lives and who dies and charging everybody 50 cents to breathe. Think the people will wake up then? If so, do we want to wait until it's that bad before we start to resist? But do you want Air Ultimate or Air Premium?
You don't really want to have a fuel tank's worth of energy stored in a capacitor. You also don't really want it in 20 gallons of gas, either. Whether it's an idiot with a paper clip, or an idiot with a match, bad things can always happen.
He didn't pay any attention to millions of people. Why the fuck would he care what one computer predicts? Because people can TRUST computers with things like improving a country's military position. Haven't you seen Dr. Stra... erm, wait, never mind.
(Go ahead, try to play tetris for a few hours, and then sit and think what permanent lessons you've learned today.) Well... for one, don't play tetris for that long. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go get some tendons reattached.
So Fuck Xbox, Fuck Microsoft, Fuck Indian Call centers, Fuck Gilbert and Max and Eric and Carl, Fuck their supervisors, Fuck Meena, Fuck the fucking sitar music they play as I'm on hold, Fuck their tracking numbers, Fuck their engineers, Fuck their repair depot, Fuck Steve Ballmer Fuck all those motherfuckers to boiling fucking plutonium hell on earth may they all fucking drown in the blood of their own children. I think you just, erm... won. Wait for the credits to roll.
Plus they can control the numbers (we sold 10k machines all with Vista). In a completely unrelated trend, we busted 10k more pirate XP installs with our Genuine Advantage program.
I still hate Microsoft, and still love Google. You hear that Google? I love you, and this submitter doesn't. When you take over the world, you know who had your back. Anyonymous coward. Gotcha.
It's just too easy for a very small number of people (or even just one) to tamper with these machines, and leave absolutely no meaningful trace. Build a one-time-programmable ROM into the CPU. Have people verify the source code as it's programmed in. Have the same people follow the CPU as it finds its way into a finished machine. Fill the whole thing in with epoxy when it's all assembled.
And if e-voting companies switch to Linux of FreeBSD or Windows CE (or any OS with available source code) he'll then ask for the BIOS, and the CPU firmware, and so on, until they give up. Gee, what will we ever do? Possibly get an open CPU core? And make the damn thing simple enough that it doesn't need a huge BIOS outside of the voting software?
They're overthinking this whole thing. Why the hell do you need Windows, or FreeBSD, or a GNU system, just for voting? It's an obscene waste of processing power.
All the Linux you can handle, and even without the GPU it's more power than you'll ever need for a homebrew game. If you're a small developer, the Wii devkits are fairly cheap ($5000 or so, but I'm probably wrong here).

$499 UMDs: confirmed!Oh god... here comes the joke... I can feel it...
Duke Nukem Forever will ship on a holographic disk.
WHAT?
There IS NO DIGITAL SIGNATURE ON ITUNES FILES. For fucks sake, it's a couple bytes of plaintext! Chop it out! Fake it! But STOP COMPLAINING.
What insight!
Just make sure that you release the source to all changes you make to his bank account.
REAL men will still use a pencil, a paper, and a hex keypad.

"New to the Xbox Live Marketplace, vote for your favorite U.S. Presidential Puppet in the new 'Red Vs. Blue' civic action feature."
No doubt, someone would complain because it wasn't "Red Vs. Blue Vs. Nader".Ahem.
