I think you meant to link to the diffraction grating article.
Diffraction gratings using parallel lines to produce the colours; interference filters using layers of differing refractive indices.
Sounds a bit like Capsela, though that was plastic bubbles, and mostly mechanical components (motors etc.) Fischertechnik had some electronic modules, but again was more aimed at robotics than generic electronic circuit construction.
Another advantage with Range or Condorcet is that you can count the ballots where they're gathered and then only transmit a small amount of data (the pairwise counts for Condorcet, or the numerators and denominators for the average for Range), instead of having to count everything at the central place as in IRV.
Yes, I can see how that would simplify vote tampering.
Though there's nothing about IRV that demands you have to rank absolutely all the candidates, the implementation you have is flawed.
As opposed to what, a bunch of corn farmers standing in a corner to choose (non-secretly) which $1B presidential candidate(s) gets a guernsey to run for an election with less than 50% turnout?
In Australia we don't choose to vote (it's compulsory), but we do choose to queue for the National Tally Room on election night - even though there's no beer!
Perhaps they think that labelling it "Certified for Windows Vista" would help them sell more copies of Vista; if so, they're sadly mistaken. "PlaysForSure" may be tainted as a brand, but then so is "Vista". They've put lipstick on the pig, but people still won't kiss it - especially brown lipstick.
They claim the software is to expedite stalking women by getting their phone number, pictures, etc.
There, fixed that for you. Seriously, any woman that does run a mile and/or get a restraining order after being told you got her phone number and photos off the Internet probably is a Russian Fembot (with machine gun jubblies.)
Given the huge amount of extra energy being pumped into the oceans via global warming, taking a bit out again to generate electricity is probably a good thing.
Try 1: In Soviet Russia, the government bails out private industry!
In former Soviet Russia, they have tried and tested launch systems that the US could use to fill their gap. However, if the 45 year old embargo against Cuba is anything to go by, I can't see it happening.
(Pity: a trade deal for SLVs in exchange for cash and a crack down on spammers, phishers and other criminal elements in Russia would be a win-win scenario.)
Slashdot Mirror
Let's see (from Wikipedia):
- You shall have no other gods before me - except the New England Patriots/New York Giants.
- You shall not make for yourself an idol - except "Spike the Super Ball".
- You shall not make wrongful use of the name of your God - even if the referee is blind.
- Remember the Sabbath and keep it holy - except Superbowl Sabbath.
- Honor your Father and Mother - they get first dibs on the sofa.
- You shall not murder - it's only a game of football...
- You shall not commit adultery - OTOH, why waste a Sunday evening watching football?
- You shall not steal - bring your own beer and pretzels.
- You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor - "Hey, that's my beer."
- You shall not covet your neighbor's house/wife - Or their 50"+ television.
They are so going to Hell...I think you meant to link to the diffraction grating article.

Thank you, Captain Doublespeak; I got the joke just fine.
Sounds like you haven't found ALL the great things about Linux yet.
# CONFIG_BLOWJOB is not set
They're called "umbrellas".
They had names? I just remember "ftp 128.252.135.4".
She had non-genuine parts fitted, but didn't void her new car warranty?
They pull a knife, you pull a gun.
That's not a knife; this is a knife.
Congratulations! Sun has a popular product at last.
Pity about their history of backing the wrong horse (e.g. NIS+).
Use FOSS, and tell them where to stick their core tax.
And the less said about your exotic diseases, Uncle Jack, the better.
As long as your city isn't San Francisco!
Yes, because you "can't" climb hills with a 30 HP engine.
Does that mean USB 4.0 will be SuperDooperSpeed USB?

WTFOMGBBQ - didn't you read the TLA alert?

I thought everyone knew that James Bond was the world expert on hotties.
Exactly what areas of "personal computing" are requiring this horsepower?
Vista. One core for the program, seven for DRM.

Intel rang; they want their Pentium 4 joke back.
Let's call what Comcast is doing by a more descriptive name. I propose Context Filtering.
Let's call a spade a spade here - it's a Denial of Service (DoS).

Windows: This action will require administrative privileges to run. Are you an administrator?
Why doesn't Vista know? If I'm not an administrator and answer "Yes", will it say "Liar!"?
