That's exactly how it should be done. Use a touch screen to make your choices, it prints out a op-scannable ballot you can hold in your hand and verify. You then stick it in one of two slots: the scanner slot or the shredder slot. That action will either confirm or reject your vote inherantly. If you reject the ballot, you can go through it again on the touchscreen, otherwise you are done.
And the machines should be developed by national research labratory in a completely open and transparent way. The source code, design plans and manufacturing process would be completely auditable by the public. No corporate control of voting machines. No security through obscurity.
The design of a car is already covered by IP laws. Numerous parts are patented and the touch-feely stuff is covered by design patents and trademakrs. So it is already illegal to fabricate a Ferrari without permission.
The interesting part to me is that the AP "tracked Mallinson by examining personal data hidden within documents that Microsoft had published with its controversial ad." Hmmmmmm.
Not so interesting. There is a word doc linked from the bottom of the 404'd page. File > Properties > Custom shows her name and PR firm.
What's interesting is AP figured this out first, and not/.
Starting with a file FOO, you want to create files BAR and BAZ, each which have FOO's history.
0. Launch VSS explorer 1. Right drag FOO to a temp folder, choose 'Share and Branch'. 2. Rename the branched file BAR. 3. Right drag BAR back to the original folder, chose 'Move'. 4. Rename FOO to BAZ.
Sure, it could be nicer but it can be done. It can probably be done in other systems that support 'share and branch', 'move' and 'rename' operations - of which CVS is not one.
VSS is scriptable from the command line and through COM (VBScript, PHP, C++, whatever...). VSS could be really cool if not for the lame backend.
I suppose it depends on what you are trying to measure. Box office numbers are typically only concerned with strictly how much money a movie made. With this adjustment, we can look at how much money a movie made in the dollars of its day.
I think some are trying to figure out which was the most popular movie ever made. Or perhaps, which was the best movie ever made. If that is the case, then box office numbers, no matter how they are adjusted are meaningless.
Many people believe Godfather or Citizen Kane was the best movie ever made. A movie such as Wizard of Oz is argubly the most popular ever made given its wide appear and the fact that it is still a highly rented and televised picture.
Oh and regarding point 3: All.NET programs will run on all platforms which have a CLR (Command Language Runtime) available - kind of like... err.. exactly like a JVM. When.NET is released, CLRs will be available for Windows 98, ME, NT4, 2K, and XP which covers what percentage of computers in the world? Probably something close to the number of platforms available when JAVA was first released.
Once.NET is understood it is easy to see that the architecture is extremely similar to JAVA while learning from some of JAVA's mistakes.
Regarding Point 2: C# compiles to something like byte codes and can be either run interpretted, compiled just-in-time, compiled at install-time OR compiled at build-time. In fact, all.NET languages have these features. So not just C#, but all.NET languages (VB, C++, and for goodness sake Eiffel and everything else) will have the opportunity for the same dynamic compilation hoo-hah that Java is now enjoying.
If RIAA cracked Aimster's encryption, Aimster would sue RIAA for violation of DMCA - that's the idea anyway.
RIAA's only option would be to get DMCA changed.
Either outcome is probably okie-dokie w/ Aimster.
IANAL

Actually VSS can do this.

Mine (Netgear 314) uses MAC address spoofing to use the MAC address of the NIC the cable company gave me which would defeat this detection method.
