The state is only requiring them to allow voters to use an alternative method. State grabs a handfull of absentee balots, places them in a stack in the precincts. People now have a choice to vote paper if they want too. Is that too hard??
No most of the Diebolt machines can talk to a blind person. Not sure how it works exactly, but I'm sure it works simular to all other blind assistance computers.
You know whats scary I heard on npr the other day a blind person protesting against paper trails. He said that finally with voice touch screens he could vote confidentially, but with adding paper trails he couldn't. The guy was really really angry and upset that they wanted to add paper trails.
They said 1TB or HD space so get about 9 of those 120GB HDs. Double your RAM get the newest $600 dollars ATI card that just started hitting the reviews but you can't buy yet. Overclock your system, and you will now have the recommended specs. Hell I can install XP on a 4 years old computer and it runs ok, you won't be able to run longhorn when it comes out with a computer less than 6 months old.
Umm I'm pretty sure a "hard-lined capitalist" is always concerned with his bottom line. And if happy workers are what will cause they workers will be kept happy. Its only when happy workers are inefficent, or when the boss is a control-freek (don't have to be a capitalist to be a sadist, hell most dictatorships are comunist) that one is willing to sacrafic the bottom-line just for kicks. Sometimes you (not often though) you see the bottom-line sacrificed to create happy workers, though not really, because generally it comes back to reward the company.
Actually the law simply states that such software must be very very clear of its intentions when installing and it must offen an obvious method of uninstall. So if you had a legitamite program ie the baby, it could easily follow these rules and not get thrown out. The law simply requires full disclosure and doesn't ban anything.
Yes, but in the US voting is supposed to be anonymous. Meaning you could have the most controlling evil demended spouce in the world, and go vote for X and tell them that you voted for Y. With internet voting they can sit down with you and force you to vote for X. Of course this would be true of labor orginizations, many clubs, any any group that someone might belong to that would influence presure weither it be physical or mential pressure to vote the way they wanted.
News.com.com reports [com.com] that you are wrong. To quote:
In an unusual provision for a technology company, Google will create two classes of shares with different voting rights, a move that aims to guarantee founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin will maintain decision-making authority...
"In our opinion, outside pressures too often tempt companies to sacrifice long-term opportunities to meet quarterly market expectations. Sometimes this pressure has caused companies to manipulate financial results in order to 'make their quarter.' In Warren Buffett's words, 'We won't smooth quarterly or annual results: If earnings figures are lumpy when they reach headquarters, they will be lumpy when they reach you."
The founders have also fought to maintain their control over the company even as it hired Chief Executive Officer Eric Schmidt in 2000. According to the document, Page and Brin said that they will run the company as a "triumvirate."
I don't know, the movie really didn't "teach" me interesting. It was pretty much cut and dried this is the world in which everybody is designed to be perfect. It wasn't really a great world, though in all honestly it wasn't really horrific world full of lessons of why we shouldn't do that either. All it really did show I guess is that someone with determination can acheive the same goals even without the same initial genetic benifits.
I can't believe you think the guy seriously wants this. Its called playing devils advocate. I doupt the guy really wants all undesirables to die, he probably has several undesirable traits himself. But its an idea that has to be discussed.
Whole armies fighting between the pores of your skin and in your tissues - weird!
Hold on isn't that going on right now with your immunity and invading bateria and viruses. Now of course these nanobots may be more intelligent, but then again they might not be. But definatly they won't have to follow the laws of evolution which generally lead to neutral germs that have little effect and simply want to spread.
Of course assuming the washer washes as good with less water. If its like the low water toilets where you have to flush it multiple times and use the more water in the process, no thanks.
Well bluetooth is intended as a smart medium. A device says to another device. Hey I offer X services and can take Y commands. Like I printer might say hey I can print things. Also I will accept photos and some other things. And a digital camera might not understand what a printer is but it knows that it can send devices pictures, so they will talk to eachother and the printer will print out the photos. But the problem lies in that sometimes there are incompatibilities like suppositivly microsofts adapter which the adapters you attach to your computer should atleast pretend to understand all communication and ask software if it doesn't, doesn't understand what a bluetooth network adapter is and won't talk to it.
No he means pinching your skin between two magnets that are holding together very tightly. There is no force pulling your finger into the door jam, but it still can hold your finger there and hurt badly.
Well WUSB will be for devices to talk to computers, with drivers for those devices of course. Bluetooth is for devices to talk to and offer services to eachother and computers. So of course you can't send a picture straight to your computer with WUSB you've got to have a computer between then to act as an intermediary but with WUSB the wire (or lack there of) is dumb. While bluetooth is supposed to be a smart medium, but that smartness has lead to vast complexities that can be confusing and just to what you can do. While with WUSB there will be no confusion about what it does.
But the big deal is bluetooth isn't Universal, meaning its made to do certain things. Other things it may be able to be kludged to do mabye but its really not meant for those things.
You know, it took me a minute to get that that was ghostbusters. So I first was reading it to myself in more of a monty python style. And you know what, its much much funnier that way.
I have to slightly content with the notion that piracy is the main use of DivX, its quite a good video format. I'm suprised you don't see it used more often.
Yea, but paper disposes of much easier. But I have to admit its the same, but there are some novel good things that could be on paper, demos and the such, but I digress.

From my experence prices go down for media as demand goes up.

Trust me we have tried. We have gotten lucky with the atomic bomb, but before that we simply procreated faster then we could be killed off.

Low water clothes washers? I thought water was the ultimate renewable resource. Water cycle and all.
Walking into orbit, now thats a trick that I'd love to learn.

Actually if you rtfa you'd realize thats what this tax was initially for, to tax PBX's.
