If the election officials were to require every, lets say, 10th voter to use an absentee ballot to record their vote. Now since the electronic machines without paper ballots cannot really be re-counted, the absentee ballots could be used to asses the validity of the election, providing an inexpensive method to at least try and provide some way to verify the results.
I have been following this story since October of last year, there has been a lot of information published and a lot of time spent on either side of 'piramidasa' and 'antipiramidasa' arguing whether the former pyramid believers and later pyramid non-believers are right. Here is a link to a satellite analysis of the region http://piramidasunca.ba/ajaxfiles/epodmeni/eizvjes taji/Geophysical%20Analysis.pdf
At http://www.piramidasunca.ba/ you can find the official foundation site and more pictures, click on the British flag for english version:).
Also googling "sarajevo-x piramida" will get you a link to a forum that's been going since last year, with posts mainly in Bosnian with some in English.
I don't think this will happen, because virtualization is currently a very hot topic and will probably replace the current way of doing things, e.g. Dell black box with $Windows running on it versus $Windows running in a virtual world on some box, even if VMWare dies:(.
People seem to forget that MS still has ~ 90% market share in the desktop market and as such they set trends not follow them. We can bitch and moan all we want but MS does what MS wants to do and the rest of the industry dutifully falls in line, it's been like that for a long time now.
Redhat network aka RHN does exactly what you describe. You can assign machines to groups which can then be updated individually. It seems to work well enough. And then if you're a big company something > 50 servers you can have your own RHN, just like SUS/WSUS.
I heard it here that some people thought Apple will have problems if it is not a simple matter to install MacOS X on your regular 'wintel' hardware. Some people suggested that even for the developer release you should be able to start some kind of application that runs MacOS X inside Windows. Now this got me thinking again about a crazy thought, mainly, what if Apple and MS are in the same boat and MacOS X is an upgrade path for Windows. Since we know that Apple has experience in helping users transition from non-Unix OS to a Unix based one it sounds plausible.
So what happens when I spend 2000 less when I have the least money and then die when I'm 45. I guess I just don't believe in thinking that far ahead, especially after living through a war which "erased" everyone's belongings. I'm not saying that could happen here, but it's possible that one could lose everything, and then what?
Thank you for giving the numbers in their decimal form, as opposed to their 'common' names which we usually encounter in newspapers. When is the last time someone in a newspaper or on a tv showed $9,000,000,000.00 instead of 9 billion. For example right now I have $40.00 in my pocket and when I compare that amount to $9,000,000,000.00 I come up short.
Well maybe your mum can't sit in front of windows either:). Or she can but wouldn't be advised too. Seriously computers are complicated and a lot of people just take them as granted.
I know this might be a little off topic but on the subject of paint laced with metals...
Did people use lead paint to shield from radiation. Most of the older houses in the states have had many layers of lead paint, and I was wondering whether this would protect from radiation.
I notice a lot of the people that exhalt virtues of being self taught and not having a degree seem to not have a degree themselves.
Personally if I had to do it again I would have chosen the same route, which is 4 years of gradual introduction to the art of CS. I'm sure you taught yourself well, but do not underestimate degree of having been taught by Proffessors, i.e. people who had been doing computers even before you were born.
The problem is that most AVs do not check password protected zipped attachments, because they can't look inside them they are let through. This is supposed to let people send encrypted stuff through your mail gateway and it will not be deleted. Needless to say this default didn't work for us and we had to change it so that it qurantines suspicous attachemnts.
The only interesting thing i found about this article is that I first found it in last week's New york times magazine, and the article this story links to is from UK's Observetr. I really wasn't aware that magazines reprinted each other's material.

Dude have you thought about replacing yourself, I mean 4 computers can't be wrong
just a thought

I got one ...

So, Apple + MS + Longhorn = MacOS X
I just can't take you seriously between that last statement and your sig
Only one mouse button ... :)

Could it be that Moore's Law is just a self-fullfilling prophecy which we keep perpetrating, or rather the Intel engineers.

Ok, I'm gonna bite how about http://www.ntcompatible.com/thread29224-1.html

Sort of interesting, if let's say infinity is the 'largest' number a given person can imagine then there are also that many infinities :)

Of course lest you forget Univ of Michigan the home of the venerable MTS ;)
