Some people, even myself, typically view e-voting as a means by which the system may be subverted. However, as many have observed, there exist other less subtle ways in which elections may be rigged just as effectively as e-voting. This leads one to question the original "Republicans will rig the election" conspiracy theory behind e-voting as you mention. Personally, I have come to doubt it.
Instead, I am inclined to believe the purpose of e-voting is not to rig the election but to foment chaos in general as part of a larger plan. Granted, it sounds like the plot of a bad sci-fi movie, but it is not so great a leap in logic. The 2000 election easily serves as a proof-of-concept.
Seven years ago, they create myostatin-free mice. Three years later, a child is born with the same "mutation". Also, there is no record of the father to verify parentage or that he contributed the other gene.
If I were a researcher who had solved the various difficulties (heart problems, etc.) with the process, and I wanted a secret human trial, I'd find a mother which already had one gene as a cover and make sure there was no information available on the father to give away the fact he did not contain the other gene, or falsify it if there were. Then, I'd act real surprised when the baby was born.
It could be legit, but the rarity of the mutation makes the whole thing sound suspicious to me...
A hoax, perhaps, but I believe the information is worthy of consideration and only that its delivery (time-travelling soldier) is a hoax.
If you think about it, the future described is quite feasible. If increasingly larger numbers of Americans become alienated by governments, it will eventually reach a breaking point and erupt into a civil war. That is not so large a leap in logic from our current position.
With the American Revolution and Civil War, history shows us American society has a certain line, that when crossed incites rebellion.

Yahoo's increased storage calls into question its longstanding business of selling larger mailboxes to its users. Its prices have ranged from $9.99 a year for a 10-megabyte mailbox, to $49.99 a year for 100 megabytes, the size it now offers free. Customers of the services will be converted to Yahoo's new two-gigabyte Plus service. Customers who are content with the 100-megabyte free account will be able to request refunds.
The patrol will report to lawmakers by year's end and won't implement the system or expand it without approval by the Controlling Board or the Legislature, said patrol spokesman Capt. John Born. Some lawmakers and advocates for civil liberties are worried the scanners could invade the privacy of law-abiding residents. "It's a free society, and we're supposed to move as we like without the government tracking us everywhere," said Jeff Gamso, legal director of the Ohio American Civil Liberties Union. Born said the devices don't take pictures or make videotapes and don't create any databases of individuals.
Imagine how much crime could have been prevented in the 19th century if we'd required license plates on horses! The devices use optical scanners similar to those used in supermarkets to read bar codes.
Somehow, I doubt it uses a laser to scan license tags on passing cars. My guess is that it uses a CCD camera with image processing - a simple task, really. This is what happens when journalists don't research an article and the editor doesn't force them to pay attention to detail.
Genesis 6:3 reads: Then the LORD said, "My Spirit will not contend with [1] man forever, for he is mortal [2] ; his days will be a hundred and twenty years." [1] Or "My spirit will not remain in" [2] Or "corrupt"
Speaking as a Christian, my personal viewpoint is: God didn't want it because man is corrupt, and so I don't either. I don't need to stay in this world any longer than it takes to complete God's plan for me. The next world is far better, why focus on this one any longer than God asks of me?
I'm all for better quality of the life we have, but I believe the lengthening of it will inevitably lead to the same situation in Genesis 6 because of human nature -- which will not change.

From what I've seen, big phone companies don't like competition. A local phone company here (similar to your situation) spent six months in litigation against SBC to make it resell lines as required by law. Not only did it have to expended resources in pointless litigation, it effectively lost six months of revenue. They survived and are the best telco in my area.
If we decide to drop copper as an alternative, then we will lose big when some event occurs that prevents a VOIP user from getting a critical emergency call through - and the resulting lawsuits and regulations will stifle growth and acceptance of VOIP as a viable universal solution.

Once, I received a notice in the mail from my credit union stating a company with which I had used my credit card had had their credit card information compromised.

If your bank does not protect your money, then why do they have it? It's their job to protect it!
As noted in this story, when something does happen, bank officials and law enforcement each try to pass the buck. This means in the end, only you can protect yourself. In this case, it is by selecting a bank that doesn't flaunt blatant disregard for the security of its customers.
You must know your history. Tulsa was a town in Texas. It doesn't exist any more. I live near Tulsa, OK, and I wasn't aware of a local Intel presence. TULSA, TEXAS. Tulsa was southeast of Wink in southern Winkler County. Though the settlement was a product of the oil discovery of July 16, 1926, in the Hendricks oilfield,qv it never boomed. A townsite was laid out, and several buildings were erected. A Tulsa post office opened on August 20, 1927, with Cora Higgins as postmistress and closed in 1929, when the building was moved to Wink. Tulsa reported two businesses in 1931 and one in 1933, when the population was twenty-five. After 1948 the store closed, and the community, which was named for the Oklahoma boomtown, vanished.

The lack of a conclusion in the "conclusion" made the case for me. From the article:
For those of you still reading, congrats!
No congratulations necessary. There were so damn many of those tiny graphs I immediately scrolled to the end of the page.
The conclusion is obvious by the "Total Time For All Benchmarks Test."
So obvious, in fact, it isn't repeated in the conclusion. I think it's the two graphs at the beginning of "Benchmark set 2 of 4", but I'm not certain
The best journaling file system to choose based upon these results would be: JFS, ReiserFS or XFS depending on your needs and what types of files you are dealing with.

In the grand scheme of things, Bush is nothing more than a figurehead. He cannot be anything more because he will only be in a position of influence for eight years at most. People behind the scenes who are around for decades (Cheney, Rumsfeld, etc) have much more influence, but even they aren't the ones running the show.
If you want to know what's really going on, you need to realize that these laws, talk of id cards, RFID, etc, have one end: control. It might not be readily apparent to everyone, but I think it is definitely true. The oft-mentioned "security" we will have will be by our being controlled. The specific objective is the restriction of free will with respect to certain boundaries, but that's another discussion.
Now, ask yourself: who or what needs control (of 80% of the economically active population by 2013, per a UK agenda) and why?

Of course, you didn't say it was taken with a Canon 10D, you only said he owned one.
