There is absolutley no reason not to have a voter audit trail
If we are fully aware that we are to be expecting problems, the very least anyone could do would be able to leave us with a voter audit trail. Some piece of paper that you have an ID number where you can check and make sure your number voted for your canidate. Once we start to have these problems, there is not going to be an answer to any questions being asked. The real question is why not? There is not a single good reason.
the majority of companies that have projectors tend to use them for giving demonstrations outside of their own facilities. this is going to mean that the place you are going to be using the projector is going to have a white screen instead of a black screen. not to mention, if someone else comes to your facility to do a demonstration, how well are other people's projectors going to work on your black screens?
with microsoft's focus on enterprise applications and with sharepoint and sql analysis and reporting services being probably the most powerful web portal and buisness intelligence solutions to date, the juggernaut will roll on crushing anyone who stands in opposition as they move and change with the environment, focusing on where the money is. not trying to make the same thing they've done for 10 years better.
at a&f managers need to have their work done without going over a certain amount of hours for employees. but if need be, it would often happen that managers would delete entire shifts from people's paychecks.
since schedules are sporadic there as it is (3hrs one day, 8 the next, not working for a few days), and since you never had the same schedule every week, or got a detailed report of your schedule with your paycheck, this made it really easy for managers to pull the wool over many eyes.
some employees working there while i was caught this and only because they kept all their time receipts and schedules were they able to get some redemption. i wouldn't be suprised if similar things went on at other clothing retailers and companies that hire people with similar shifting schedules.
WHY DID THE US DEVELOP THE SPACE SHUTTLE WHEN THE SATURN 5 IS SO MUCH BETTER?
The Space Shuttle has a lift off thrust of 6.6 million pounds.
The Saturn 5 Boosters have a lift off thrust of 7.5 million pounds.
The Space Shuttle can take into low earth orbit payloads of up to 40,000 pounds.
The Saturn 5 could take a 100,000 pound load into high altitude orbit. The complete lunar lander weighed 100,000 pounds and a Saturn 5 rocket apparently took it all the way to the moon (way beyond high altitude orbit).
This means that the Saturn 5 can carry 280,000 pounds into low earth orbit.
So, one Saturn 5 launch is equivalent to SEVEN Space Shuttle launches. You only have to launch one Saturn 5 to carry the same payload to low earth orbit (say, in order to build the international space station) as SEVEN Shuttle launches.
Which would be cheaper, researching, developing and using the Space Shuttle, or just using the existing Saturn 5's to haul SEVEN times as much gear into space.
Something, smells in the land of the US of A. Something, smells real bad,....
Isn't it curious that the Russians, Europeans and the Chinese all have cheap expendable launch vehicles with which to launch satellites, yet the US (with all its Saturn 5 experience and technology behind it) does not.
And, did you notice the embarrassing run of failures (the rockets blew up) that the US had (in the 90's) when it attempted to develop its own expendable launch vehicles (no, the US did not use the Saturn 5 (or even some derivative vehicle) for some unexplained reason) in order to compete with the Chinese, French and Russians in satellite launching business.
A quote:
The shuttle is really the most complicated vehicle ever to orbit the Earth and it is the most expensive. The number of missions, originally predicted to be more than fifty a year, quickly fell to about eight while the operational and development costs rose as quickly as the vehicle leaving the launch pad. These costs are often even more expensive than the expendable launch vehicles (ELVs) that the space shuttle was supposed to supplant as the main road to space.
The 'spotlight' movie on nokia's site is absolutley hilarious.

I would give a synopsis, but I wouldn't want to ruin this masterpiece.
Perhaps this is the evidence that finally brings to light that people working for software and/or hardware corporations are writing viruses because many average computer users will never be able to get rid of them forcing them or encouraging them to buy new machines.
If you let them know the concerns of what you are about to tell them (as you just told this forum) they will take into consideration how their decisions will affect you if they decide that they want to really know what's going on.
They will know that by letting them in on your "secrets" that they should be tactful in how the situation is handled in order to be mindful of you and also to facilitate these talks in the future and to show you that by handling the situation appropriatley that future problems won't be swept under the rug and hidden from them.
I can't seem to find anything on their website concerning the use of solar cells embedded in the sleeves... All i can see is a jacket with a ton of pockets. Am I missing something?
more interesting stuff i found
Toynbee x Kubrick x David Mammet, por Taylor (enviado por Bernardo Carvalho)
The Toynbee/Kubrick plaque might be based off of a David Mammet play! One of the many short plays from Goldberg Street contains this excerpt:
Interviewer: Hello, you are on the air.
Caller: Hello, Greg, how are you?
Interviewer: I'm fine.
Caller: Good. Greg, it's a pleasure to talk with you...
Interviewer: What's your problem?
Caller: Greg, we need your help to publicize your plan. We've been trying to get our organization together to raise money to be able to hire a public relations firm like Wells and Jacoby to publicize our organization (PAUSE.) Where are we going to GET the money...? I don't know...
Interviewer: To publicize you...
Caller: In the movie 2001, based on the writings of Arnold Toynbee, they speak of the plan...
Interviewer: Excuse me, excuse me, but the movie 2001 was based on the writings...
Caller:...all human life is made of molecules...
Interviewer:...based on the writings of Arthur C. Clarke...
Caller: All human... no, Greg, if you examine...
Interviewer:...it was based on the writings of Arthur C. Clarke...
Caller: Oh, Greg NO. We have the...
Interviewer: Well, go on.
Caller:... we have the writings.
Interviewer: Okay, go on.
Caller: Greg: in the writings of Arnold Toynbee he discusses a play whereby all human life could be easily reconstituted on the planet Jupiter.
this piece is from an online version of a newspaper linked from toynbee.net about the tiles found in my town in ohio.
----------
One interesting side note, however: the idea of monotheism, according to Toynbee, originated with a gentleman named Zoroaster. The name might not mean anything to you, but the famous theme song to 2001 (Dom-Dom-Dom-Da-Dum!) probably does. The theme's title? Thus Spoke Zoroaster.
And the plot thickens.

i thought some more people would find that interesting.
this stuff has been around for awhile... the nokia communicator series has had these tools for awhile and people are constantly working to port these to as many different model phones as possible...
you can hack your server to be able to use sms messages to control your server on even some of the older 2g phones.
to me this is old news, i'm sure some of you may find this interesting... you may have found it more interesting a long time ago when i wrote these same articles to slashdot that got denied.
I write good articles that get rejected all the time and someone gets one posted about potato guns, something that has been around longer than a lot of us.
i guess most geeks just never experience things when they are young and are amazed at dumb crap like potato guns.
Using this type of stegonography as a method to validate authenticity isn't really that effective. You still need a way to extract the information and something to compare it to to validate it. If you have the end result of the validation you can simply just alter the image and then just re-encode the data and then the image becomes authentic again. just my 2 cents.

Now try explainging to regular people the difference between a/b/i/g/x and which ones work together, which ones don't and why.
i hope the guys at best buy are up to speed to direct the consumers!
