I'm serious. Cross a name in a ballot and place it in an urn. Count the ballots at the end of the day. Keep all the ballots in a package, in case there is need of a recount. In my country (Pop: 100 million), we do it like this. We have preliminary results the same night, and definitive ones in 2-3 days. Clean, effective and nice (makes for a lot of citizen participation, what with the ballot counting and all).
Not if we stick together and demand it! You bring the torches, I'll bring some pitchforks!
Tsk, tsk, tsk. Inciting to rebellion against the government. And with weapons. That would be 40 years away, under the PATRIOT Act. And you posted it on the internet. I'm sure we can tack it somehow to the DMCA. Somehow.
For all of you deriding the Chinese... don't be so sure. Those chinese are cagey. Remember the Tsien was supposed to be a space station... until they mounted those rockets on it and beat us to Europa. Personally, I think that dastardly Fu Manchu is behind all of this. He might be trying to contact his long lost brother, Ming the Merciless. Wait, that's the alarm clock. Time to wake up. See you later.
... in my training the concept of a lawfull order was stressed again and again. One is required and duty bound to review all orders given by superiors and ensure that they are, in fact, lawfull orders. In short, one is responsible for one's own actions.
Just to add a bit of trivia: You have the nazis to thank for that one. Even in WWII, American soldiers, as well as those of any country, were supposed to shut up and obey. The Nuremberg trials changed that, establishing a precedent, basically to destroy the "Just following orders" defense. And no, this does not allow you to invoke Godwin's law. Check it.
in Mexico the Army is chock full of teenagers running around with automatic weapons and led by "generals" who are busy padding out their bank accounts.
This has got to be the most stupid, unknowing remark I've heard in a while (and in Slashdot that's quite an acomplishment). I've live in Mexico all my life, and am a journalist by trade. There are no soldiers running around in our streets anymore than in the US, and, in fact, there are a hell of a lot less weapons and less violent crime than in most US cities. As for generals padding their accounts, there may be or there may be not. But I guess there is no corruption in the US, right?
In the US, if you get busted with an ounce of grass, it's not serious. In Mexico, they might take it, or they might just take you out back and shoot you.
Think again, fool. We don't have a death penalty --unlike some barbaric proto-dictatorships nearby. And nobody gets "lost" anymore. We have trials and all. Really. I really hope you were trolling, because if you were serious you have demonstrated an amazing ability to pull hatespeak out of your ass and spew it as truth. Which it is not.
I see you haven't posted for a couple of days... so, how did you like the cavity search? Was it enjoyable? Would you recommend I say "kiddie porn, kiddie porn, kiddie porn.... Oh, damn. Guess I'll find out soon enough.

So, it already happened, and the only problem for PC users was... no Halo? Dude, my nephews have an Xbox. I've played Halo. Halo sucks. I mean, it seriously sucks big, fat hairy, stinky monkey nuts. So, I'm not afraid.

I thought he was congratulating John Paul II's parents.
Not that it makes sense, but then again, it doesn't need to (this is still Slashdot, right?)
I'm serious.

Yeah, but what about the terrorist children? Who thinks about them, eh?

Except, as we all know, BSD is already dead...
Wow.

I'm glad that the Afghanis and Iraqis are free from oppressive governments.
They are not.

Consider yourself warned.

They refused to do anything since she hadn't seen the thrower.
Ha Ha! You can bet your sweet ass if someone threw a knife at a cop they'd be busting the fucking door down, right now...
If someone threw a knife at the cop, he would have seen it.
What was your point again?
I just had to say... I can't believe that user 707,043 finds the nick "computerlady" unoccupied.
We need more girls on slashdot, dammit.
