I have a slightly more revolutionary idea for a voting machine that involves a pencil, several pieces of paper, a large folded sheet of cardboard that can be used as a booth, and a locked wooden box with a small opening in the top.
You'll have to wait until the morning after the election to get results, but it's a fair bit more reliable and secure than any electronic system in use today.
"Microsft deserves all the blame for this - they're responsible for the bad design, the bad implementation and the lax audit. Suggesting they only deserve a portion of the blame shows your bias."
You may want to read this article next time you fill up your bucket with tar and start stripping the feather dusters. Throwing blame around doesn't help anyone, and only shows your own bias.
An earlier version of the article, rife with phrases like:
"Not being a complete dumbass, we seperated the recording and playback functions so that we could put the big disk array and all the tuners in another room and drop an absolutely silent, network-booting, passively cooled box based on a VIA EPIA board next to the TV to handle all the playback."
and
"By using cheaper, more suitable parts from manufacturers like AMD and high quality freely available PVR software we were able to keep the entire project well under budget"
was rejected because it somehow failed to please the advertisers.
Stick a disk in the drive, select "Play DVD" from the optical disks menu, and don't ask too many questions about exactly what "non-free" software was installed on your computer to make it happen.
...if he dropped a KnoppMyth CD in the drive, booted it, selected "Install Everything" and then confirmed that he did want the default settings a few times.
It's more of a Debian quirk. Ogg Vorbis is Free Software(tm). MP3 is Definitely Not. That's why you'll find Ogg support in Debian but have to look for unofficial packages if you want to muck around with MP3s.
Other distributions tend to have a more casual attitude towards this so they may bend a few rules.
You're assuming that an article linked from Slashdot discussing a television program which has not yet been produced is going to get silly things like names and spellings right.
However after this revolutionary process nothing, and I mean nothing, not rust, not mold, not even a nuclear blast, will reduce the performance and usability of your computer.
"Yes, and Dell did you a favor, albeit by accident."
"You don't want Autorun enabled. If the Sony incident taught you nothing else, it should have taught you "AUTORUN==BAD"."
Being able to run programs called "setup.exe" can also lead to malware infestations. Did Dell also do the users another favour by removing the ability to install new software?
Slashdot Mirror
One could even say they support twice as many.

Then what your friend wants is the "Import DVD" option on the same menu.

It just works.
Enjoy your "gestapo-esque" police state.
At least not until someone researches the Meditation technology and founds it.
After that it will spread like wildfire along your roads and sea trade routes.
Not only that but there is finally a solution for the dupes on Slashdot!
Then you would have just gone back to see it again the next day.
Oh, my flamewar senses are tingling. You're treading on dangerous ground here.
But where is the epic struggle in that?

You must be new here.
Maybe he's talking about a different Catholic Church than the one we know.
Either that or one of the guys is Swedish.
I think I read a story about that ship already.

It is not only cromulent, but it embiggens us all.
And twice as good as Netonethree.
Most Windows users run with the permissions of "Administrator". Otherwise their programs don't work.
Or Canada. The poster could be Elton John.

"Whenever a programmer thinks, 'Hey, skins, what a cool idea', their computer's speakers should create some sort of cock-shaped soundwave and plunge it repeatedly through their skulls."
Look for legislated audio-cock-waves to be plugging your analog hole by this time next year.
