Optimization is one of the last thing you do in software development (for usual projects). Once you know where you spend most of your time in the code, you optimize those parts; it should surprise you it's not blazing fast. You should expect some improvements in that aspect between that Beta version and the final product.
IRV is still better than the current system which favors a duopoly. And once IRV is in place it would be trivial to switch to Condorcet as people would be used to "ranking" the candidates.
So, IRV might not be the end-all solution, but it would still a step in the right direction... And right now it's the most popular alternative proposed; so, pushing it forward might help Condorcet proponent get closer to their goals.
I would recommend paying a visit to Jobsearch.org (similar to Dice, Monster,...). Last time I checked, I found more jobs that matched my search criteras than I found on Monster. It seems to be run by some governement agency; I think employers can post freely. One of the nice things with that site is it allows you to bookmark some job postings for future reference (which is nice to have, even if it's not unique to that site).
Bull, they existed and they failed in exactly the manner that their critics predicted (devolving into brutal dictatorship, deadening bureaucracy and eventual economic stagnation). If you are saying no country has ever succeeded in implementing *working and successful* communism I would happily agree with you because such success is, and was, impossible.
What they had in the USSR was "state capitalism" and not real communism. People were receiving wages and had to pay for goods.
Unfortunately, you need to have a winning ticket to claim any prize. Each ticket you buy will get you a different "code" to play the game (the code determines if you're going to win and what the prize will be).

Running Sony PS2 games on the XBox. If I'm not mistaken, PS2 has a game SDK running on Linux. Would a Linux port on the XBox allow it to run some PS2 games?
You should give "Majesty" ( www.cyberlore.com/Majesty/ ) a try... You decide what you build and you can "influence" your characters (called "heros") to do stuff. But you don't control them; they have a mind of their own... Rangers are more likely to explore the map for you, some other types of heros will stay close to you base. When your heros are badly hurt, they use healing potions, when they run out try to run away from combat to heal at home and buy more healing potions. Heros can advance levels and buy their own weapons, armors, potions with the money they win in combats. You can influence them with rewards (attack flags and explore flags). The bigger the rewards, the more likely they are to "apply for the job". You make money with some of your buildings (marketplace, etc.) and tax collectors going to collect there.
Ames researchers are using off-the-shelf parts to help keep costs down. The robot's computer is a Pentium® III running Linux, and the six ducted fans it uses for propulsion are commercial products made for model airplanes. Even the infrared distance sensors it uses to avoid collisions are pre-made sensors similar to those in auto-flush toilets!
Great... I wish I could have my linux box follow me around like this!:)
There, X10.com, you should be able to get some decent hardware for your "project", motion detectors, camera, IR camera. And most X10 stuff is supported under Linux (and probably other UN*X variances).
I see a big distinction between engineering and Arts. Engineering main purpose is usefulness. Art main purpose is any of the following: beauty, fun, elegance but not usefulness. Now, you might find usefulness with a piece of art but that's not it's main purpose. The same goes for engineering it has to be efficient, useful but beauty is not the main purpose (it can be a secondary one however).

Here's the main campain contributor for one of those 4 guys pushing for it.
As a team lead, did you clearly establish what each of of "your" coders has to do? i.e. clearly define what has to be done and who's doing what.

I have one choice for local phone service -- SBC.
I'm pretty sure MCI offers local phone service in your area (as they do in most states now).

It's not a bug, it's a "feature"! :)
www.safeweb.com can probably fulfill some of your needs and doesn't require you to install anything.
