It doesn't matter either way. If the voting machine gives me a receipt what is that going to solve?
If I can look my vote up on the Internet to "verify" that my vote is recorded as I intended it to be. Nowhere in any of that can you reasonably assert that your vote was actually counted the way it's being presented to you, whether on a paper receipt or pulling it up online.
If I were to "hack the vote" in any system I would make sure that to the voter everything always looked as those his vote was counted as he intended. The only thing I'd change would be the totals.
Paper receipts would only be "verifiable" if you were in a small town and gathered up everyone with proof of who they voted for and matched the results to the totals. But good luck trying that with 100 million people.
Dell makes the best laptops. My friend just got an inspiron 8000 only a 700MHz, but its got the 15" screen (most important) w/ a fat vid card, 1600 X 1200 res. 10gigs or so nic modem dvd etc... very nice machine, $1500... secret is to go to the dell refurbished outlet. Very nice computers for half the cost.
