You're right, and that's why nobody has "unrestricted and unsupervized access" to the ballot box once it contains ballots. It is kept locked and in full public view during the election, and the ballots are carefully supervised (by at least two poll workers, usually more) at all times afterwards.
You are exceedingly naive if you think reality is the same thing as the rules. What if I, and a group of like-minded associates, run the polls in your precinct? We can run off any "independent observers" and do what we like with the ballot boxes. We can even pretend to be representatives of the major parties. We were all appointed by the local board of elections, whose members were all hand-selected for their willingness to "go with the program" by the local political boss.
Wire photo machines, used to distribute photographs to newspapers, used a similar system. Sometimes you can see them in old movies, when the police send a suspect's fingerprints to the FBI.
Were they? For all you know, they might have been second or fifth. Contrary to popular mythology, the aboriginal peoples of the Americas didn't sit around a campfire, singing Kumbaya, until the arrival of the White Man. One of the reasons that the Aztecs went down so fast and hard was that their neighbors wanted revenge for many years of war and oppression.
Take the PS out of the blade, put it into the bottom of the rack and distribute the power.
It isn't that simple. Regulated DC power supplies need to be physically close to their loads in order to work properly. In extreme cases, like for modern CPUs that run on low voltages, they are on the same PCB, adjacent to the load.
Probably because the largest regional office of McDonald's is in Japan. McDonald's has restaurants all over Asia. McDonald's was building restaurants in Hong Kong when it was still under the control of the UK and mainland China was closed to the West.
Only the purchasing department really care where a part actually comes from.
In the real world, you can get burned by assuming that all widgets are identical, regardless of manufacturer. Some manufacturers produce crap, that barely meets the specs and fails or degrades at a high rate. Some circuits will not work properly if the part's performance is too far off, for better or worse, from the performance of the part used in the prototype. Just because the manufacturer say that it's compatible doesn't mean that it is in your application.
I have always wondered what sort of chance there was of a nuclear detonation when it impacted the ocean bottom and what effect it would have had... a tsunami perhaps?
No chance. Nuclear weapons have multiple safeguards against accidental detonation. Even if the impact detonated the high explosives in the warhead, it would not produce a significant nuclear yield. To produce the spherical shock wave needed to implode the plutonium core, a large number of initiators must all fire simultaneously, with very precise timing. In addition, a neutron generator must be activated at just the right time to kick-start the chain reaction.
Courts normally deal with things that have happened, not things that might happen. The game hasn't been published or sold to the public. That should be reason enough for the judge to dismiss the case.
Being incorporated in Canada does not exempt them from Illinois law. That's like saying a Canadian citizen can't be prosecuted for crimes committed in Illinois.
How does the customer know whether the salesman is giving him good advice or just trying to push some POS game for other reasons, like higher profit margins or pressure from management?
Have you ever heard of Google, or a history book? Why should we spoon-feed you basic knowledge of the history of the Middle-East? Try looking up "dhimmi" and "Grand Mufti Haj Amin al-Husseini".
Even without nuclear weapons, North Korea has enough conventional weapons and soldiers to effectively destroy South Korea. What may result from this test is Japan deciding to build its own nuclear deterrent force. They could do this quickly if they wanted to.

It can be considered an unauthorized use of the trademark by the importer, even if it was originally manufactured by Sony.
They may be using trademark law. Customs can seize goods that make unauthorized use of a trademark, such as some grey-market goods.

Have you ever bothered to read the newspaper? It may be owned by a nut, but the newspaper isn't bad.
The problem is that if you go to the average office supply store in the US, you will not find a single sheet of A4.

Tucows has customers in Illinois. A court can have jurisdiction even if the company doesn't have a physical presence in the state.
See http://nersp.nerdc.ufl.edu/~malavet/civpro/notes/p art10.htm for some legal background, esp. the part about GRAY v. AMERICAN RADIATOR & STANDARD SANITARY CORP.
They do business in Illinois.

The smart person keeps their mouth shut and asks for a lawyer.
Your "business needs" do not create an obligation for others to run their hosts and networks in a way that meets with your approval.

How about giving money prizes to Palestinian suicide bombers and terrorists?
What planet do you live on? The US has been reducing its stockpile for decades.

They hanged Julius Streicher for exercising his right to free speech, and he deserved it.
When you start telling people that I'm a subhuman and should be exterminated, I'm going to exercise my right to defend myself.
You, and your friends, are exactly the sort of hooligans that inspire the invention of devices like these.
