Circling isn't (as) machine countable and since the boundaries for marking your vote aren't pre-defined there is room for interpretation after the fact. We don't want room for interpretation (hanging chad anyone?).
Uh, why put an 'X' in a box. Easily machine readable.
The Windows 98 upgrade CD was similar. It checked for a win.com file IIRC (and I think some OS/2 files). All you had to do was create a dummy win.com in the right place and Windows would happily 'upgrade' you to Windows 98.
Labour rates will vary a lot from country to country. e.g. the minimum wage in the US is lower than the UK. In China it's a 10th of the US. Also, I imagine rent and local taxes makes a big difference.
I think rabbit stew was invented because rabbit it's a PITA to de-bone the meat due to the small bone sizes. With stew you just skin, remove the head & innards, cut into chunks and chuck in a pot. Deal with the bones later. I know someone who occasionally shoots rabbits and brings me some. Very tasty, a little like chicken with a stronger flavour.
You use *an* external HDD for backup? As in *1* device. A decent grandfather-father-son backup system needs 25 devices!!! What happens if Joe User comes and says he wants a file he deleted 6 months ago? What happens when you drop the drive?
Tapes are much smaller & far more robust! They're not cheap, but neither is losing 100s of man hours of work due to a fire etc.
p.s. Most (all?) OS's come with tape backup software included, and have done a long time...
I remember programming in E many years ago on the Amiga. A nice OO language, a bit of a mixture of c & pascal. A cool feature was inline assembler, but the best was the speed of compilation. On a 7Mhz 68000 Amiga the compiler really flew.
Minicabs are not illegal, however they cannot pickup customers from the street (which *is* illegal) - they must be pre-booked. In many parts of London it's almost impossible to get a black cab.
Actually I've found that for the PSX media quality isn't the main problem. It's the weight/thickness of the disc. My PSX reads 'backup' CDs much better if I pop one of those transparent things you get on the top of a spindle on top of the CD. Not that I use the PSX anymore...

The Canterbury Tales was written in the 1300s and the English is mostly understandable today.
Commercial strawberries are grown for the look, not the taste.
I used to have some wild strawberries growing at the end of my garden. Tiny little things but bursting with flavour.
"Red warrior needs health". A classic!

Bizarrely Sizewell in the UK is the exact opposite. The area around the reactor is blurry, but the reactor is clear:

Wet rooms like this are actually quite common in parts of the world. Not where I live unfortunately.

Classic Amigas can run Linux/68k, which is the regular Linux. You need a CPU with a MMU though.
XP search has always been broken. Use a 3rd party tool like Agent Ransack. Windows 2000 search however, works just fine...
Mmmmm, a nice healthy bowl of sugar for breakfast!
Full of B vitamins too!
1 large glass orange juice
I think you over did it with that one!
Piracy didn't kill the DC, rather the lack of a DVD player (which the PS2 had).
Erm, even Guinness does not the Reinheitsgebot standards. And neither would most Belgian beers.

I'm 33 and was only taught metric! I'd like to keep my pint though :-)

Wasn't season 1 screened in the UK on Sky One before the US?
there are far more ugly things out there :-)
Like Margate chavs, for example

It's probably the easiest system to emulate, but fundamentally works the same way as more complex systems.
