Heh. Other than the fact that, at the "County Website" point, it claimed that my ballot ID was invalid (WTF?!), the main issue here is that the whole system is too complicated. It took me a while to figure out exactly how the verification system works, and I'm still not convinced there's no way to prove to someone else how you voted.
No - what I mean is that there's no way to tell that the copy of your vote that went into the closed box is the same as the one that you got. (No, "that's how it's supposed to work" isn't enough.)
503 (Chapter 21 - Identification Schemes: 21.1 Fiege-Fiat-Shamir, 21.2 Guillou-Quisquater...) is probably not the section you wanted. That's identification algorithms, this is trust systems. Try page 109 (5.2: Zero-Knowledge Proofs of Identity).
I've remapped CapsLock to Mode_Switch (in X) and set up some alternates. Now typing "aeiounc" with CapsLock held down (it doesn't stick) gives me "áéíóúñç", for example.
I believe I speak for all of us here when I say: "When pigs fly."

If this inaccessibility is indeed China-specific, it's probably because Groklaw deals with US laws. Democracy and all that - can't possibly let any of that come through the Great Firewall.

Yep, that's exactly the issue I had. Get a soldering iron with a very sharp tip. Don't add solder, just reflow what's already on the board. Hope this advice helps.
Amusingly enough, the original iPod had the same issue with the FireWire port. Don't know if it was a common problem, but my FW port came entirely off of the board (!) and started rattling around all over the place. Epoxy wouldn't even have helped here, because the port was sort of hanging off the board. Ten minutes with a fine-tipped soldering iron fixed that, though.
Kid: Who are you?
Offstage: Are you a pen?
Jesus figure: I am a pen.
Jesus figure: I-- am-- a-- pen!
Kid: Oh! You are a pen.
Jesus figure: That's right.
Kid: What color are you?
Jesus figure: Rainbow!!!

Agreed. I have seen some *seriously* deadly nerds. (And I'm one myself - I took karate for a few years, taught by my English teacher ;-)

Yeah. I think the lack of a brain accounts for that.

Sound quality still sucks with those implants, you know. Badly. Pitches are *way* off; only about 80% of users can understand spoken English.
Entrapment, like you said. (Definition here.) You can't sue people for committing a crime if you were trying to get them to do it.
Open and honest?

Shhhhh!
I think I heard something about this at one point -- the problem was apparently that chip failure rates are too high to make this work well.
