The "voting booth" itself is nothing more than a plastic stand with a privacy screen and a supply of felt-tipped markers.
Or, in a lot of cases (including my own state, incidentally), an enclosed booth where you are alone with a touch-screen terminal directly connected to the voting machine. Because felt-tipped markers are, y'know, *old-fashioned*.
And stop paying them, you shouldn't be in government for a salary.
Bad, *bad*, BAD idea. If you can't be in government for a salary, then you're in it for the bribes. Not that paying a decent salary renders a politician immune to corruption, but at least he doesn't have to be on the take simply to put food on the table.
Yes, but it's poor practice to advertise anything but a webserver through a www.* IP name. If the host is doing something else, it should have another IP name for people accessing that function. Among other things, it makes it much easier to move that function off that machine without touching the webserver. www.* could affect things other than webservers, but it shouldn't, and mostly, it won't. That doesn't make what Comcast is doing *right*, but it does make it slightly less horribly awful. Slightly.
No, it's not an effect of the hate, its an effect of the fact that you're not generally allowed to drive motorized vehicles on the sidewalk, and driving something whose top speed is 12 mph in the street isn't safe.
In the end, they decided to shrink Germany, split it in two
In fact, there was no decision as such to split Germany in two. Immediately after Germany's surrender, it was split into four occupation zones (US, British, French and Soviet), but this was always intended to be temporary. However, the zones under occupation of the Western powers and zone under Soviet occupation each formed a separate government, each of which claimed to be the rightful government of all Germany. The differences could not be reconciled (the Cold War was heading into high gear at this point), so each wound up ruling its portion of Germany.
No one cares, really... they are loans and will (mostly) get paid back. The banks unable to pay back end up being owned by the feds anyway, and then the books are wide open.
Aw. They're so *cute* when they're that trusting, aren't they?
I think anyone that looks at a corvette knows it's not alien technology.
Of course it isn't; you have to research it yourself. Ion Cannons, Drones, Super Heavy Chassis and Gravity Generators, on the other hand, you can all get from the Bentusi.
Yes, I have. He would be the fellow who said, "It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts."
So then nothing is enough, since it would be willful copyright infringment at this point, now that they KNOW they don't have the right to distribute the book.
You need to go back and reread my post, because you missed something. They don't have the right to distribute. But they can GET the right to distribute--I have little doubt that with enough money, the rights holders would grant them a license to distribute copies to everyone who bought a copy under false pretenses. THAT, in my opinion, is possible, and what is called for.
That's nice. "Hello, customer. There's a fatal bug in your BIOS. Of course, there's not a damn thing you can do about it, since the BIOS on this model isn't changable, but at least you know about it now."
No, it's not. What would be enough? Amazon restoring every last one of these people their copy of 1984, paying whatever they have to to the copyright owners to make it legal. If they then don't reclaim the rebates they sent out, they will have totally redeemed themselves in my eyes, but restoring people their books is the bare minimum.

Mayonnaise. Emulsion.
Sorry, I can't help it.
By my calculations, we'll get handwriting recognition just about at the point computer keyboards will have killed everybody's ability at handwriting.

But they do wonders for your anemia.

...'cause Al Gore invented both the Internet and ecology!

I remember how it taught me all about how the Scots won the Battle of Falkirk!
No, the reason they HAD to break it was that they were introducing a new DRM model. Not the same thing at all.

You believe that:
a) the corporations will suffer immediate takeover (or, for that matter, any severe consequences) if they don't pay the loan back.
b) that if the corporations *are* taken over, their books will be immediately opened to show everyone how they spent the TARP funds.
Your naivete is touching.
Bicycles have a top speed of considerably more than 12 mph unless you're climbing a steep hill.

You don't understand; the problem is that they don't want the competition.

Well, yeah, he was. Because ALL of the protagonists in GTA were thug gangstas.
Of course they can use cell phones on their breaks. The door outside is that way-->
