Completely agree with that. Paper and pen works, and it's been shown to work in the past. The technology for electronic voting is not mature yet, and most of all, probably can never be trusted 100%.
So, why they don't just want to use pen-and-paper voting is completely beyond me.
I don't understand that whole "and when you are trying to get the internet working on Linux" business you are speaking of.
Honestly, I have been using Ubuntu since 5.04 and on a variety of laptops. I have never (not once!) had to work in some special way to "get the Internet working". It always just worked, right out of the box.
Didn't have to use the command line to go online. Not once.
So, just out of curiosity: When was the last time you tried "to get the Internet working on Linux"? Which distro? Really would like to know...
You don't need to press 'enter' with Beagle either. I think there's an option you can use to make it start searching when you have paused your typing for some fraction of a second or something like that.
