How about, instead of the zero tolerance position you suggest, they just counsel the officers on why calibrating is important and have something check the paperwork? Do you think you should be fired the first time someone finds out you did something wrong?
Official acting in capacity related to public safety + laziness = malicious
Uh, what? There's something wrong with that equation. If a public official was too lazy to change his password, does that mean he had malicious intent to bring down his city's servers? No. Just means he was lazy. Charge the officers with something appropriate. Write them up for not doing their job properly, counsel them on how to calibrate and why it's important, and check the paperwork.
Make your own 'what' exactly? Your own operating system and app store/market? Without somehow violating thousands of patents? I suppose if you complained that your car should have better/different features and your buddy tells you to build your own, you'd find that helpful advice.
If the US had simply focused on cleaning up the mess and finding bin Laden
Yeah, if only we had spent the last 10 years in Afghanistan hunting down Al Qaeda and the Taliban, killing bin Laden's lieutenants, tracking sources, and trying to find bin Laden through an extensive network of deep cover operatives in Pakistan. Good idea.
As some other commenters point out, there is definitely a need for a full-size keyboard but a dock and a keyboard will do the trick for many people. I would actually love to be able to dock my Android phone on a dock and use my keyboard and mouse. I'm looking forward to having something like a 7" tablet with some kind of high resolution, which I can dock and use on a large monitor reasonably well, maybe with a KVM switch. I think we're almost there, and I know there's plenty out there that are pretty good for that. With quad-core tablets, it seems the processing power is good enough for most casual uses. There will always be demand for high end machines, but not everyone who needs a full-sized keyboard at a desk needs a desktop PC.
I think maybe your humor detector has the loose connection. AC was referring to the FTL readings posted here a while back, where a faulty cable was apparently to blame.
and let the military pick up the byproducts from that research to kill people better
Anyone foolish enough to do that would be eradicated by a country that spends more money on its military. You are descended from a long line of bloodthirsty merciless warriors who vanquished pacifists and lesser warriors and raped what women they left behind. OK, that's a small exageration, but still. We are still alive because of the defenses we have erected.
Or perhasp it is more complicaterd than "anyone who doesn't think like me is wrong and stupid." Neither side is right. Both parties are hypocrites. Get off your high horse.
For starters, it doesn't say annything in TFS about e-voting being easier than mail, just that it offers advantages, like lower time delay and not having items lost in the mail. For military members in places like Guam other remote areas, mail isn't all that easy. Then again, neither is reading the summary, is it?
Um, maybe being able to use it inside the secured faciltiy? I worked at DIA for a while, and if someone wasn't at their desk, aside from leaving a sticky note for them, the only thing you could do is walk around and look for them or wait. Outside of work, I could call, text, email, facebook, IM, etc. But at work, there was email to their desk, call their desk, or nothing. A secured cell phone to take with you when you walk around would make things so much easier.

"Isn't it great we can usually beat an 8-bit video game?"
This was the early 2000s on an ancient Nintendo box.
Maybe they need to see another demonstration?
Did that already with Nagasaki. You mean a third time?

Yes, say goodbye to your pristine mice and sanitary keyboards, which were never full of crumbs, hair and other disgusting detritus.
"hardback" books are about $10 than list price
I think you accidentally a word.

1990 called
OMG, did you warn them about the '93 World Trade Center attack, '95 Oklahoma City Bombing, or Sir Mixalot?

Right. Because the only use of a running robot is killing people. Also, nothing DARPA ever worked on contributed to society. Especially not ARPANET.
What's his WaPo user number?
Then you're supposed to shake it. Or something.
Oh thank goodness an anonymous coward has determined there's nothing to worry about. Hey everybody! Everything's OK!

I think the end result will be more like chat roulette. Nothing but guys showing their junk.

There still are pigmy humans.
Bogus!
I guess you're pretty ticked off then.
I think I read bacteria were the size of pancakes. And pancakes were the size of the manhole covers. Libraries of Congress were smaller then though.
Or on an Intel P5 Pentium.
