Well holy crap! Where's the world police when you need them? Oh, yeah, they're busy fighting... oh sorry "keeping the peace and re-establishing order" in another country.
For starters, I may be a dual citizen (US/CDN) but I do not live in the US and have not had the pleasure to deal with such devices. Here it's all pen and paper and people tallying the votes at the end of the day. I completely understand the need and want of the voter to have his/her vote cast confidentially. But my biggest wonder, if you want this to be accurate, why not get a receipt from the machine when you're done voting, with say a unique serial-type number on the bottom (not like a counter since someone could watch and figure out who was #42, for the completely paranoid). So the machine would register that you have voted, and that say #55828034 Voted for X but the two would not be associated. Then when the results are uploaded/downloaded/processed you would have a list of people that voted and a separate list of #'s with vote results. Then have a 'secure' government website which you could punch your unique # into and make sure that it matches what you intended to vote. If not there should be a 'contest vote' option to say go to a government office, prove your identity and have your vote changed and possibly the system reviewed (depending on the percentage of error).
Ok, that idea got away with me haha but I hope you get my drift.
1) Get a large container that wont damage the drives 2) Load drives into container 3) Pack the drives snug so they don't get damaged 4) Make coffee 5) Call UPS make postage out to me 6) UPS MAGIC 7) Happy Me
Really what it means is each populated world is just some kids science experiment. We just happened to be the one that went bad and had a bunch of mold and mildew all over it. The rest of them didn't need saviors and guidance. Now we're starting to oxidize a bit;)
... that Linux tries to distinguish itself from Unix as being its own identity, but when it comes to comparisons they are deemed one and the same. They are not one and the same, they are different branches of the same seed. It's like saying DOS and Vista are the same and comparing the two... they are cut from the same cloth, yes, but completely different.
When it comes to best game of all time,a value needs to be place on it.
For me, my favourite and I must say best game,as far as enjoyment goes and longevity, would have to be Sky Kid and old arcade game... mid to late 1980's I believe. () Only because I'm sure I spent more quarters on that then my entire University tuition bill...
I know... I'll create a article that is sure to turn heads on Slashdot, even better than "Switching to OSS", with lots of propaganda to lure the majority of./ to the aforementioned article. Then I'll load it up with ads and pop-ups and make some money.
well designed propaganda + ads = $$$$
Man I wonder why no one has ever thought of this concept before it's pure genius!
Slashdot Mirror
Well... this could be a neat ploy for self-confession
why not:
I want to hear from people who murder. I think murder is wrong and I would like to hear why you murderers out there think that I am wrong.
Oh, and don't worry, we wont log any information about you *wink-wink* *nudge-nudge*
Funny you should say that, my very first thought was StarWars sequel... which quickly vanished when I fully registered the thought
