the odds are somewhat "fixed" but it is regulated. Back in the day you could find yourself in the middle of the desert (with broken limbs) if you tried to cheat Dah Boss.
1 Any time you start hearing tocatta and fugue in d minor make sure you start getting supplies to comp for the extra stress on your team (Snax and Soft Drinks for the team would be a start)
2 make sure that marketing does not OverSell The Product
3 if you have Married Team Members you may want to setup some sort of OnSite Daycare (this is a MUST if you have Female Married Team Members) even if this is a spare conference room with an On Call caretaker.
4 treat your employees like people not like Droids (unless 3-CPO or Rommie actually apply that is)
Why would you not have some sort of self redact function to fix the problem of a drone going down in hostile territory??
All you really have to do is program the drone to Explode/Thermite the electronics bay if it reaches Zero Velocity without some sort of HomeBase signal being received (rotate the exact signal on a weekly basis)
or even put some sort of DeadMan switch in the electronics bay that you have to open another panel (and insert a SafeKey) to disable.
well if you could get all the bits crammed into a microcontroller then yes but even a simple (like win95 level) OS could work the point here is to have as little as possible running (so no Network Stack at all).
1 have as little of the OS loaded as possible 2 the OS image should be on a readonly image (with the image FIXED no later than 14 days before an election) 3 the poll info should be on a separate image (also readonly)
the voting screen should have a hash of both images on a "rail" at the bottom so that both can be verified at random
when you vote your vote info should be etched on a metal plate (each one should be given a serial number and accounted for) that holds X votes. Also a printout should be presented to you so you can verify your votes.
if any issues show up then you 1 count the info from the plates 2 count the info from the voter "chits"
and then deal with any problems as needed (good luck tampering with all three counts)
of course then we will need to deal with the Vote Early Vote Often problems in some areas but...
1 put the van into the shop for some wrench time (tune the engine and beef up the battery) 2 put a moderate sound system in and have a "patch panel" on the outside to hook up extra speakers 3 setup the back end with a projector (think driveUP theater) 4 Use small or racked computer systems (Your Mobile Command Center doesn't need to control The SuperDome) 5 put a cell waveguide/repeater on the roof (need a Net Connect) 6 setup things so you can have a "WorkStation" in the van
Your power concerns should be mostly solved during your ShopTime. with this setup all you would need is a DJ and a Light colored Wall somewhere and
Okay hows about this all the producers create a BT service and
1 you fill out a survey to indicate your interests (im a single hetro geek that has no DL and does not travel so there is a huge whack of ads I DO NOT WANT TO SEE) 2 they then give you a feed with a small number of ad files (say a 8 to 1 ratio of show to ads) 3 you then "pay" for the service either by buying "download credits" or by serving upload data (your BT ratio)
note i am saying DOWNLOAD in an unDRMd format and it is up to you to actually watch the ads (you do have to download them for the Upload Credit but...)
The problem of having to open a product to read the EULA is why it should be Federal Law that the current EULA should be posted on the publishers website. In fact they should always have
1 any drivers for hardware bits 2 the software package(s) 3 the help file(s) 4 the EULA as currently ammended
1 begin taxing all non-citizens say 25% on funds sent to other countries (to be collected by The Transfer Agent) 2 charge companies an extra 15% on labor taxes for non-citizens 3 on a related issue have random audits of companies to force them to have papers on all employees (immigration shows up at the work site and starts matching faces to paperwork)
In short we need to have an EMPLOY LOCAL movement.
i would at the same time offer some flexibility on wages if it can be proven that the non cash benefits properly compensate for a lower cash wage. (not really an issue with H-1Bs but its related).
once explosive ordnance has been made it has 3 possible states.
1 Unused 2 Used (of course this would normally be called Shrapnel or Debris) 3 Fired but not detonated (various miss fire states this would be normally referred to as unexploded ordnance)
the big problem is that whatever caused it to not explode may be "fixed" at any time bad if it happens on its own very bad if a person is present and very bad if a KID is present.
1 work things so that you have to include the validity of the patent as part of the lawsuit
2 require that any patent be USED IN PUBLIC COMMERCE to prove its value
3 have as an automatic part of a suit that if you lose the suit you are liable for any and all business lost during the suit
4 any over time damages must be counted FROM THE TIME THE FIRST NOTICE was given (call this the Torpedo clause) so that you can't get a patent sit on it for X years and then when like everybody is using the covered product start the lawsuits.
5 Also you must actively protect your patent* or lose any rights to damages (call this the Red October V Dallas Clause)
* note this does not mean you can't get a patent to keep something from being patented by somebody unpleasant (White Knight Clause)
i think that the ADA should be used to start requiring sites to take a few measures to make things a bit more accessable.
1 ALL sites should be required to have a Non flash version 2 this whole thing of scrolling frames inside scrolling frames MUST DIE 3 not everybody has a huge screen (netbooks are 1024 wide but not 768 high)
4 requiring you to watch a Video to apply for a job SHOULD BE BANNED
funny thing any sale THAT YOU HAVE KNOWLEDGE OF ILLEGAL INTENT goes dead by federal law.
it happens all the time that a sales person does a sale because he did not know about X in this case. You inform the person of the possible violation but DO NOT ASK.
if its true that the person doing the buy talked about doing something illegal WHILE IN THE STORE then yes this was correct.
the way the law goes if you "had knowledge" of illegal intent and did nothing you go down as an accessory.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_line_of_succession. given that the list is 18 persons long i would think that if things went south Standing Orders would keep things running long enough to sort things out. Im sure that the Treasury Dept will get hands on the folks at the end of the list if the top of the list "goes missing".
Imagine if you could somehow install the needed bits into People (which solves the problem of creating the base for your AI and a whole slew of construction problems). That "Undocumented" House Maid somebody has now its not a problem since she is an Organic Bot (added bonus you can download English to her).
I think that the odds of some corp somewhere working on just this type of setup is just about ZERO.
Im sure that 62.2 is not saying there are 64 different channels but that they 64 different "driver cabinets" to ensure that a decent sound image is available to everybody in the room.
btw does anybody know of a Free(ish) program to map and correct the sound field in a room??

aka "Failed to CALL BEFORE YOU DIG" problem
with everything buried you run into problems where somebody decides to not CBYD and then puts his Backhoe across the line(s)
(maps are fictional and you always underestimate the power of a BackHoe run by a half drunk worker)
this is of course OIL being trucked not water or electricity. basically whether a given "wire" is buried or not is a function with many variables.

one "feature" that voting machines don't have that Vegas slots had back in the day
They used to break people for cheating the slot machines
1 have as little of the OS loaded as possible

3 the poll info should be on a separate image (also readonly)

right you can't require somebody to work 80+hour weeks to meet a deadline in the US
i have 2 words for you
Mr Teller could you get Mr Penn to explain those words??
If i was going to Pimp My GeekMobile then
1 put the van into the shop for some wrench time (tune the engine and beef up the battery)
2 put a moderate sound system in and have a "patch panel" on the outside to hook up extra speakers

4 Use small or racked computer systems (Your Mobile Command Center doesn't need to control The SuperDome)
5 put a cell waveguide/repeater on the roof (need a Net Connect)
