Actually Obama is much more popular in wealthier districts, but many of them in New Hampshire are rural suburbs and thus hand counted.
As for the Diebold OptiScan machines, I believe the ballets are fed into the machine right there in front of the voter. I know here in SF, they will actually spit the ballet out and give you a chance to remark it in the case of either under (section left blank) or over (section with two selections) votes
This is simply not true. In many ways Amazon has increased the business of your local book seller, your local USED bookseller should be offering their used books on Amazon.
BTW I hear this statement that Amazon has killed local book stores repeated, yet when I actually look at statistics, number of shops open today vs those open 10 years ago, in San Francisco, there are MORE open today than there were 10 years ago. Most of the ones currently open were open then.
We aren't going to die here for several at least millions of years (the sun has a couple of billion years left in it). As for natural resources, currently the space program costs far more in resources than it has any chance of providing for the foreseeable future. If you take people (who are simply not needed) out of these orbiters you can drop the cost (in money and natural resources) by 10X.
I don't know where you live, but on the train in San Francisco, nearly 25% of the male commuters (basically most everyone under 50) are using an iPhone for listening to music. (you can tell it's iPhone earbuds and not iPod earbuds by the microphone/switch below the right earbud)
Also "A Significant Percentage" could mean almost anything (and it is likely less than 10%) but on front page of the iTunes Store there would be at least 1.2 million views every day, which would could earn them quite a lot more.
And what are the costs for running the site, distribution and promotion, these things have a lot more value when done professionally than most people realize.
This project predates google's scanning project by several years. Brewster tried to get google involved, but as usual they decided to go alone. While the OCA was announced in 2005, it was an offshoot of the Internet Archive/CMU/Raj Reddy's Million Book project which was started in 2001 with books being scanned in India.
I guess you missed that part of my comment. If an OEM (a for profit company) thought they could make money by bundling Linux (including selling desktop real estate to Real bundling the google pack, or what have you), they would or another player would come in and fill that void. Welcome to Econ 101. You are free to start that company.
The complete window license is more than paid for by all of the bundled trialware and desktop real estate installed by the OEM. If a manufacturer thought they could get the same cash for a free Linux install they would be all over it. In this case regulation only hurts the consumer on both the long and short term.
Steve Jobs is also the largest shareholder (by a huge margin) of one of NBC's 3 largest competitors, ABC. There may be a little bit of a conflict of interest there.
Kim could have walked back down the logging road to the public road which had traffic on the first day, when he still had some food in his stomach. it was less than 10 miles.
Do you feel sorry for everyone who buys a new car? As soon as it leaves the lot it's value drops by 30%. They could have all waited a couple of months and found a lightly used version of the car they bought.
Uh the point is to make the iphone work on another network. the jersey kid did this by pulling apart the iphone soldering something, doing some magic, then putting the phone back together without damaging it, and it will work with a t-mobile SIM. What the australians did was buy a programable sim ($10 on ebay), then use a Telstra SIM, the AT&T SIM, a SIM programmer ($50), and make the programable SIM work on the iPhone, and the Telstra Network. The results are the same (the phone works on a network other than AT&T), just one is much easier and less likely to mess up your iPhone, and likely will not effect your warranty, the other got a load of press.
An Australian group claimed to have gotten the iPhone working with a hacked Telstra sim on July 30th. That news never made it very far, either refuting or confirming. He claims he did it by using a programmable simm, on which he cloned part of the AT&T sim and part of the Telstra sim.
They aren't very good for log files, the write throughput is very slow compared to even a single spindle, and terrible when compared to any sort of striping.

While I had to extrapolate the results. They match up pretty well to the actual vote tally.

Sorry, you can't simply claim fraud when things don't go your way!
And wealthier districts are less densely populated (People with money like space), and thus have a smaller need for electronic vote counters.

19 out of 69 claims were originally rejected, not the entire one click patent. So much of the patent is still considered original and non-obvious.

Emotion and pain are functions of the Limbic and Reptile brains, not the neocortex.

ANTI records which has some pretty big names pays 50%, does promotion and distribution but doesn't cover recording costs.
Don't forget the biggest funding source of the IRA was America.
Amazon has other services to help keep state with EC2
SDB -> Simple Data Base

Remember Jobs himself is the largest shareholder (7.5%) of Disney, which owns ABC. The next largest shareholder owns less than 1%.

It would be "obstruction of justice" which is a felony.

If you know Japanese or Korean you can get the 32G mtron drives for less than $1000
