I wrote about this in 2000. It's easy to have a paper trail that the voter can verify but nobody else can see.
Print out the record of the voter's choices and have that printout appear in a window. Once the voter is done voting the window becomes obscure or the paper with the votes on it drops away (maybe gets cut into a large bin to avoid being able to reconstruct the sequence of the voters?).
There's no reason we can't have a system where the voter sees the paper evidence that their vote was counted and the voter remains anonymous.
Of course, this depends on a trustworthy computer counting the votes in the first place and not discarding or altering electronic votes and printing out everything correctly. Open source it must be, then.
In the 2600 case, the MPAA was unable to enter into evidence a single movie decrpyted with DeCSS. Yes, probably because it's impossible to distinguish a movie decrypted with one tool versus another. In fact, these are almost perfectly analogous circumstances.
Clearly not the first because you reiterate your postition. Not the second because it doesn't apply here.
Hey, if I knew the fancy latin word for 'seller', I could come up with a catchy foriegn phrase that asserts my position too: don't take actions you can't defend in court.
I think it's hilarious that the free market includes buying things and getting shafted, but not going to court to settle grievances. I hate to break it to the capitalist and pseudolibertarian free-trade lovers but anytime you sell something within the jurisdiction of a court, you may find yourself subject to a legitimate lawsuit.
To suggest that, merely by being producers in the market, businesses are exempt from answering for their torts disingenuously implies that they are somehow not a part of the social system within which they chose to do business. If a law was broken I see no reason a business shouldn't have to answer for it.
The market is one avenue for redress, indeed, but that's no reason to utterly deprecate legal remedies.
I guess I'm looking for support from Apple on this (read: free). I understand if Apple doesn't see this as critical system software, like they do the DVD player... Like I said, it's not a big deal because I use my PC for all my DVD viewing anyway, I'll just continue to use it for VCDs too.
The Encore DXR-2 pumps all MPEG video out to my TV anyway.

Uh oh. If my TiBook wakes up any faster than it already does, it'll resume before I even open the lid. Brings a whole new meaning to the term 'race condition.'
If someone provides me a service with no contract stating terms of payment, they're free to try and bill me, and I'm free to try and not pay it.
She isn't entitled to free email, but nor is it clear the company is entitled to extort payment from her. If they chose not to bill her for 14 months, that's their loss. See: estoppel, laches.
Sounds like she was playing with fire and got burned. I imagine, though that she'll have her way since she's willing to assert her case in court. She never would if she just sucked it up and paid.
It clearly would behoove ISPs to have accounting errors default to customer-friendly behaviors and not lock people automatically. I was locked automatically from my DSL account after an accounting error, and before I even bothered to fix the problem I had moved to a new provider. Doesn't competition teach these businesses anything?
It would be like asking a janitor in the Supreme Court building to declare the DMCA unconstitutional. You could do it, and he could do it, but it would have no effect because he has no mandate or authority.

The milder midwest accents, too. The US gets all their newscasters from the midwest and Canada.
Sure, but how many people in cars, trucks, buses etc. aren't leaving home and going back at the end of the day, too?
Say I put my brain in a robot body, and there's a war: robots versus humans. What side am I on?

English has parentheses--they're called hyphens.

They still won their case.
Ironic? In which sense?

Last time I checked on the status of that project it wasn't ready. Thanks for bringing it to my attention again.

And let me clarify that OSX is my primary OS, and this is a minor quibble.
I'm still waiting for VCD support. >:(
Please link to the sources of these crucial assertions:
How do you know Mr. Bauman is a Scientologist?
Where did you read when Freewinds leaves port?
Oh, yeah, and your links to geek cruises all fail.
My conclusion? Well written, but completely false.

You'd be wasting everyone's time.
