Perhaps they should just merge...Both brands have pretty good reputations, Apple Computer has plenty of money. I have no idea how much Apple Corp is worth; the only thing I could find on Google was a Korean apple which sells industrial strength floor coverings....
Americans also tend to think that their way of doing things is better, in all situations and culture, than any other methods currently in use. This is true for politics, banking & economic policy, patent, copyright, and drug law. In this case the Americans decided they could run Chile better than the Chileans and couldn't. History is filled with other counties doing this, colonialism and the cold war jump to mind. America is simply doing this now, and doing it poorly.
Having recently moved from the US to Austria, I can safely say the US banking system sucks.
The electronic banking aspect is incompletely implemented and only those parts which are convent to institution are implemented. On a side note, the customer service here in Austria is also stellar compared to the standard fare in the US. Just another in a long line of incidents demonstrating the fall of the US...
The real problem is the price points. Sure the Roomba is not so smart, and it doesn't auto recharge, but it only cost 250 USD. The three other contenders I've seen are all over 700 Euro, with some over 1.500,00 Euro.
Yes I am lazy, but I'm not that lazy!
Seriously though, I only have a 45 m2 flat, so one of these would be perfect, and I like the Trilobite and the Karcher. But for the money I'd spend I'd really expect them to be much more intelligent.
There is one on display at one of the stores here in Graz, I don't remember exactly how much, but I think it was over 700 Euros. Which is much more than roomba.
I agree mostly, however some electronics could be added to speed up the process, and not remove the validation clockwork.
So counts could go to the main office early, then the verification is ongoing and generaly lasts longer. However I'm not a big fan of exit poll reporting due to time zones.
Couldn't you though add another voting indication on any paper based voting schema.So I would think a MD5 sum based on the selection printed on the paper before the voter removed from the machine would help. Perhaps an electronic validation of all the votes made on the machine as well. Having both paper and electronic records sometimes is a great lifesaver and sometimes it can suck hugely. Anyway moving completely away from paper should happen in stages, and slowly.
oh and scantron does suck, I've used them before, punched is better in this case.
Reference? everything I've read pointed this concept to extremist ideology rather than consistent phenomena, but I'm open to new idea's.
However every one should realize that dependence on export of any valuable product from unstable totalitarian regions / regimes is a bad thing. Trade with them, sure, but don't depend on them.
However, here in the real world, it is not finically reasonable to burn coal such that *no* nasty by-products are produced (or that matter even most). Which is why we have pollution in first place.
You're so wrong I don't even know where to begin. But I'll start here: once it takes more energy to extract the oil from where ever it is and what ever it is in than you get out of it, who cares how much is in 'reserve'? It a loosing proposition. As far as 'replenishing oil fields':
Not enough air pressure, to get a lot of work done. The wind speed is much higher than earth's so it's rougher on parts. And there is much more particulate in the air, which isn't good either. But all of that is not worse than a nuke power plant exploding on it's way into orbit I guess.
I have a Webber grill and a George Forman grill. You are right on some counts but not all counts. Simply put you don't cook the same things or the same ways on the two devices. I've found that as the weather cools off my George Forman grill gets more and more use. Personally I don't use it very much to cook a slab of meat like a big steak, I use to cook little one fast like stuff to go on salads, or soups, or finger food. It's damn good with sausages.

Bizarre
I've a friend that's into that sort of thing... very cool way to spend time, money and CPU cycles

Because it's a different fetish.
Another take on this theme would be that it is a community resource and deserves public funding

Perhaps someone needs to think of a cheaper way to teach, that's effective.
One should rotate crops anyway
The only real arguments are: Change is bad and we can't grow enough to satisfy demand.
Where I live there are a LOT of diesels and the ones using B20 sure smell nicer
Of course there's always erdgas, but we weren't talking about that...
But the outcome is not because of the energy loss in transmission.
If it were that easy it would have been done by now
Porsche, Vette, Ferrari;These cars are within your budget currently?
but, it's in the middle of the night over there and they can translate it at will!
How do you recount with this system?
How do you make sure that someone does not tamper with it locally? Simplier systems are easier to check, I think
What happens if the power goes out or batteries die?
Who sets these things up and runs them? Not the old folks I saw the last time I was in the US and saw voting!

The people on this show seam more reasonable than US politicians

DR-DOS is NOT dead, it's just not main stream. I use it! Also Novell doesn't own it anymore Devicelogics does. Cheers!
