You could always find means to cheat. The question is about price and available tools.
For example, you could dig up to the election office (or access from floor below), and cut a hole into the bottom of election box. In parallel, an early voter goes to elections and analyses ballot in order to print fake empty ballots (with all anti-counterfeiting marks - expensive but not impossible).
After replacing fake ballots, you get a pro woodsman to glue bottom of election box back into the place.
This is pretty unlikely scenario as it would be expensive as hell (and would have to be replaced for every election office). Also you could secure elections from this by placing election box on a chair (in order to see it's bottom).
You actually can find some small issue that everyone thinks is unlikely, however with access to mighty tools (unnoticeable gluing, silent drilling, etc) you could achieve it.
As for electronic elections - the situation is the same, just the tools are more available. You just cannot think of every small issue and make it 100% proof.
So it probably had some problems with fuel supply, filters, or glow plugs weren't working at all? Any of those in combination with bad compression would mean trouble. Good diesel engine should be at least 15:1, or 20:1.
Glow plugs and fuel heaters are necessary for real winters. This year, I had some issues with battery not giving enough juice, but managed to start my Frontera diesel at -30C (-22F).
You don't drive to North. Unless it's -5C outside you should be able to start it by just cranking longer. Unless your piston rings are worn out and engine is leaking - pressure would generate necessary heat.
Smoking is in no way physical addiction (unless your body pressure, breathing or anything else changes).
I've withdrawn from smoking for couple of years, and it's psychological, as you generally don't need to smoke, but you just want as you're used to it and have nothing better to do. So, generally it's just a habit.
The same could happen to LSD, but you don't take it every hour, so most unlikely.
As for heroin - the addiction is really physical, as you feel Your bones breaking.
+1 - timing difference shows that satellite as being further away. If you can repeat different delay for another satellite, you suddenly make receiver think it's somewhere else.
And the only way to determine current position with gyros and accelerometers is to integrate over time. I guess, the mistake for integrating acceleration from two consequent GPS readings is less than integrating position from sensor data since the start of flight.
That still leaves an option to jam and hijack.. It just would be more slow, as fake signal would have to tell it that it made 15 degree turn, when in fact it made 10 degree turn, and telling it flew 100 meters when it did 80.
So forcing it to turn and faking distances/angles a bit, you could get it to your location (sure you would have to know it's original base first, but that's just tracking). It all comes down to precision of inertial sensors, and if they would be nearly as precise as GPS, there would be no advantage for using GPS.
Easy - they are nuclear, so they don't have a defined lifetime, it's half-life, so it's just decaying more and more slowly. Now they'll extend it 30 years, then 60, then 120..
No, the Suicide councelor will then follow up on your posts and Like them. They could actually implement the same scheme for helping terrorists (they can just ask councelor for help).
While slashdot doesn't have any of those, I'll just go and blow up something, killing myself in big boom
Except that tank won't probably waste their shells on unconfirmed target. At best you can hope on couple of.50 machinegun shells in direction of microcontroller.

It's a vaccine that you have to renew every day. The dosage also increases with time ;)

Why would you want to show your existance (and location), without checking them out first?
It's advertised as "Manufacturer will have the lock to hood, and come at night time to change the oil if it's necessary". But that rarely happens.
+1 - timing difference shows that satellite as being further away. If you can repeat different delay for another satellite, you suddenly make receiver think it's somewhere else.
Actually no, delay one/two/three of the signals from multiple satellites, so timing is wrong and receiver calculates different position.
And the only way to determine current position with gyros and accelerometers is to integrate over time. I guess, the mistake for integrating acceleration from two consequent GPS readings is less than integrating position from sensor data since the start of flight.

So which was the first? Windows or That compiler?
use ulimit before starting firefox :p
And majority of ARM are not ARMv7 or higher, so they still don't run Firefox
And the OS runs as webapp http://bellard.org/jslinux/
Sure, as soon as GNU Mach is ready, the FF devs will get inspired by it :)
Nop, I just bought my first android app for $0.10, as that's the price that seems good to me. I wouldn't bought it for $1, and I was using it anyway.

So in order to capture nuclear explosion in 720p you would have to make 720 perfectly synchronized detonations at the same spot.
