  13. Yeah, that paper trail sure helped... on Touch Screen Voting Trouble in Florida · · Score: 1
    Without a paper trail it is anyone's guess as to what those voters' intentions were.

    There was a paper trail during the 2000 election, and people still managed to screw up. Look at a paper ballot where there is a "dimpled chad" next to Gore and a "hanging chad" next to Bush. What was the voters intention there?

  21. Re:... cannot be used everywhere on Black Box in Speeder's Car Helped Conviction · · Score: 1
    Nice hyperbole. Read the article.

    In the Matos case, a judge issued a search warrant allowing the prosecution to harvest the information.

    The data on the black box should not be treated any differently than gunpowder residue on your hands or a bloody shirt in your laundry. If the cops have reason to suspect you, they can go through the proper channels and search your stuff whether you like it or not.

I saw it, I liked it, I've at liked the other installments. Do I count it as a childhood memory? No way in hell. The memory is going to see it with my friends.

    Up until the revised editions came out, I could not have told you what was outside of Lando's windows, or how many creatures were walking around Mos Eisly, nor could I have cared less. He didn't change the story, he changed the way it looked.
