An addendum. Some of this distributed simulation (look up DIS or HLA over at STRICOM) runs on classified nets, which are parallel to the standard internet. You couldn't use the 6bone for that.
Come on. Hiroshima and Nagasaki were done before anyone really had a clue about what nukes do. Remember, back then they figured it was just a Really Big Bomb(tm).
Part of the "moral high ground" comes from seeing the horror of what happened in H&N and trying to avoid it in the future.
A better approach, I believe, would have been to take the traditional paper-punch machines and simply add some hardware to electrically detect what holes were punched. Tally those outputs via computer, and store the boxes of paper votes as well. That way, if there's any question whatsoever about the accuracy of the electronic vote the audit trail is right there.
That's what currently happens. I think that any e-voting machines should use touchscreen/whatever and generate a paper ballot. The paper ballot is counted.
I mean, come on. TV Networks notwithstanding, does it matter if it takes 8 minutes or 8 hours to count ballots?
Obviously Fundamentalist Christians don't have real faith that their religion can prevail on its own merits. If they did, they wouldn't be trying to use the government to shove it down everyone else's throats!

Hey, come on! A nanosecond is much larger than a nanometer. A nanosecond is roughly one foot.

That would be a "Gerund".
They could always just fax over a copy of the license.
Wire fraud.
Or heck, for the $699 fee, they could hire a courier to hand-deliver the license paper.
Plain old ordinary every day fraud.
Does the Constitution give the federal government the power to mandate this?
No, it's

My high school physics teacher told us that electrons most likely have an eliptical orbit like planets, but that there's really no way to know.
Wasn't that the Sommerfeld model? Just before Schroedinger set us up the wave equation?
Sorry, I'm a bit touchy... used to work for a Fibre Channel house.

At which point they've so totally fucked up the aerodynamics that their munitions are useless.
Also, sustained shot. Burns away the foil (remember, aluminum melts at 660C), and then you've got burn-through into the munition proper.
SCSI does run over Fibre Channel.
Look up FCP on t10.org.
Because the internet (www especially) would work FINE if it was all p2p.
But the only people who use p2p are Evil Content Pirates(tm)!!!! Hilary Rosen and Jack Valenti told me so!

Several years ago, I got my mom a T-Shirt to wear while voting... It read: "I'm from Chicago.... TWO BALLOTS PLEASE!"
Other corps, on occasion do the Right Thing(tm) out of self-interest (Ms vs Eolas patent suit come to mind), but these guys seem to be pure slime.
Hey!! New slashdot poll:

Windows Update was introduced in 1998, with Windows 98.
Do you know why railroad tracks are the width they are?
Sorry, but not quite true.
What do you mean 9.0? It's been like that since at least 8.1!
OTOH, I think it's a great distro, once you get around that little quirk...
Let me guess... SCO execs have another "pre-planned" round of stock sales coming up, don't they?
I know it's sarcasm, but some jerk at Versign will probably quote you in their defense.
But then he'd be convicted of supporting terrorism! After all, suing the government is obviously an Evil Terrorist Act!!!!
As the OP gave credit, that's by Tom Lehrer, from his song, "Werner Von Braun".
Life imitates art...
In Stephen Baxter's Titan, the Chinese launch their first manned ship around the same time as Columbia is destroyed upon re-entry!
