How does porn recognition software in general deal with nude paintings? The truly artistic things, no hentai or whatever it's called. Would it be possible to give the software the functionality of distinguishing between a picture and a painting?
I think you're mistaken. The problem isn't with the format of the ballot at all. Pencil and paper might work in your society, but here, some people would get confused and, rather than admit their mistakes or ask someone for help, they'd blame it on the lack of pencil sharpeners.
As far as I'm concerned, they shouldn't change a thing; if it is so much complexity that some of the voters revert to the "Hey, it's not my fault" kind of mentality, then is it really that mentality we want deciding a president?
If we didn't have anonymous speech, then everyone would have known that the Hive Queen and the Hegemon was written by a xenocide.. Then who would have saved the piggies?!?

"the university is implementing a laptop program that will ensure students and faculty have a standard set of tools (hardware and software) that meet a majority of their computing and telecommunications needs"
You know that this means they are going to be using M$ products.. if it were *nix, it'd say "ALL of their computing and telecommunications needs"
I have a question, though.. will this result in lowered tuition? A recent article talked about how in a few years, PC sales in the US will drop to practically 0.. do you think that programs like this will make an impact on that, in a way that the distributors and OEMs are willing to.. uh.. reward the state's government?
The Cray could be your dorm room.. With the fans that thing must have, you'd always have cold beer around. And when chicks hear of your 16 gigaflops, they'll be lining up.
New DBZ episodes?!! That's awesome! I can't wait to hear some more of that porn-style grunting they always do when they're scared!
Speaking of which, does anyone know what percentage of the show is taken up with that grunting, and with people saying "The planet will blow up in 5 minutes... any minute now... only 2 minutes left... in 5 minutes... any minute now..."?
If the company asks me "can you implement a linked list in Java in 10 lines or less", then that's not a place I want to work.
This seems like a pretty harsh statement. It has been my experience that the questions the interviewers ask is often more reflective of the interviewer than the company. I would say that, more importantly, you should find out which of these is true.
Of course, this changes from company to company. M$ is notorious for rough interviews.
If they released the code for this, what are the chances that someone could alter the code for their personal use? If the code is like a wire tap, then isn't this essentially like handing out free wire taps to the public?
In this case, would it just be better to get rid of the program altogether?
BTW, these are genuine questions, not so much my opinions.
A lot of people will argue that the internet is the best all-around reference (where else can you so easily find the average lifespan of a silkworm?). When doing research papers, this is definitely a must-have (the reference, not the knowledge of silkworms). On the other hand, elementary and middle school kids shouldn't be spending their time writing research papers -- rather, they should be obtaining the basic concepts that make future endeavors easier, graduate-level research for example. They should be learning how to think, how to process their thoughts, and how to share their thoughts with others. Only after our childrens' education lays this bulwark can they truly benefit from all that the internet has to offer.

If Be was going to even stand a chance, they'd have to come up with a mascot as cute as Tux.
I just don't see that happening.. unless they used a porcupine that, instead of needles, had pixie sticks. I love those things.

No wonder so many people are so good at those Lara Croft games.

I hope this doesn't mean someone could use this to see how many chicken mcnuggets I just had for lunch...
Whoever gets the job, please please be sure to include plenty of Jar Jar death sequences!
