I think an ideal solution would be a touch screen system which prints the ballot out. The voter then can physically look at it and then put it in a drop box for machine reading later. The ballot will both be machine readable and human readable with the convience of the touch screen system.
Another suggestion would be to print the ballot and a 'recipt' so the voter can have the ballot counted and still get a record of who they voted for.
I've lived in Michigan all my life, not far from Greenville where the first Meijer store was founded. I have to say, Meijer rocks. They do so much for the community.
One thing I just think is awesome, is that the Meijer family paid for the casting of a Leonardo da Vinci sculpture. The sculpture was to be a 22 foot tall bronze horse for the Duke of Milan. However, before Da Vinci could finish, the French invaded and used the horse as target practics. The Meijer family had two cast, one is now in Milan, the other sits in Fredrick Meijer Gardens in Grand Rapids.
So, I just got back from voting in a very rural area; just outside of Lansing, Michigan. I was really excited to vote for the very first time (I'm 19). I was going to wear my sticker with pride! But when I got there, I noticed that they weren't handing out stickers to people who had voted. I asked why this was and the lady snapped "WE DON'T HAVE STICKERS!" I was shocked! They're trying to surpress the sticker-loving vote!
I voted anyway. To spite the old lady, but I'm very destraught at this act of voter manipulation. I'm about to call that NBC hotline and report them.
And I wonder if Sirrius will have any kind of limits or leash on what he can do.
I'm pretty sure they'll limit him a bit, if only for public perception. Look at cable TV, they have very very little restrictions on what they can and can't show compared to broadcast tv, but they self censor to keep their public image up.
From XM's corperate page:
XM Does for Radio what Cable and Satellite Did for TV:
Beyond AM. Beyond FM. It's XM - Radio to the Power of X: Radio has just taken a quantum leap into the future. With over 120 channels in 2004 of music, news, sports, comedy and talk, nationwide coverage and digital-quality sound, XM Satellite Radio -- the #1 digital satellite radio service in the U.S. -- is unleashing a radio revolution in cars and homes across the country. Part rocket science, part rock n' roll, it will change forever the way you hear radio. XM's support runs wide and deep, with strategic investors including America's leading car, radio and satellite TV companies -- General Motors, American Honda Motor Co. Inc., Clear Channel Communications, and DIRECTV.
XM is as big a part of the monopoly as any other radio station.
Sure, we know the system works. It just doesn't work fast enough. This law should of been completly shot down by now.
I'd like to see some sort of ammendment that requires 3 randomly chosen (through a lottery) federal judges to review the law before it goes into effect. If two or all three say no, then it goes through a randomly chosen district to check it's constitutionality.:)
I believe it was used on The Stargate SG1 Information Arvhice, but the problem was...the guy was under investigation for a few years. He was offered 20MB versions of the show (low quality, but it was still the show) and he got C&D'd from MGM and the MPAA. He took down the links, but from what I'm told he was still putting them up under a predictable naming scheme.
Sure, it was wrong to use the Patriot act (or maybe it was the DMCA), but he was going to get caught anyway.
Homer: Ahh, not a bear in sight. The bear patrol must be working like a charm.
Lisa: That's spacious reasoning dad.
Homer: Thank you honey.
Lisa: By you're logic, i can claim that this rock keeps tigers away.
Homer: Hmm..how does it work?
Lisa: It doesn't work.
Homer: Uh huh.
Lisa: Its just a stupid rock!
Homer: Uh huh.
Lisa: But you don't see any tigers around here, do you?
Homer: (looks around, thinks) Lisa, I wanna buy your rock.
I try to shop online to get a 7% discount avoiding the sales tax penalty for local purchases. I would not mind buy locally but I ran into just as many problems at a local retailer as online.
You know, you're supposed to claim all online purchases on your tax returns anyway. Also, I'd hardly call the 7% sales tax a penalty. It puts alot of money into the state. You don't want your state ending up like California; billions in debt.
No, most machines (from GE atleast) listen for incoming SSH sessions. This is so it's main tech guys can connect (from Wisconsin) and fix the problem. It saves the Hospitals money, they don't have to call in a field service guy for $150+ an hour. The tech guys can even find a faulty board, order it, have it shipped to the hospital, and have a guy swing by the next day and replace it without alot of wait.
My father works for GEMS as a Field Service Engineer; he repairs and installs X-Ray Machines, CAT Scanners, and Mamography machines. As far as I know, GEMS doesn't run Windows on any of it's boxes (other than Engineer Laptops). Most of their older systems are UltraSPARC/SunOS boxes. The newer ones are Intel Xeon/Red Hat rigs with their own custom window manager. Heh, he's even called me in a few times to help him with some Linux problems.
It makes sense to me, GEMS and the Hospitals aren't going to risk $500,000 to $2,000,000 machines because of Microsoft's poor track record. Not to mention, a bug in the software can bring down the system for hours, until someone can come in and fix the problem. My Dad has problems all the time with doctors breathing down his neck. Most the time they have a full schedule, and when a x-ray tube blows it can take up to 4 or 5 hours to replace. Not including shipping from Wisconsin or France.
Hey, I thought Cable and Satelite were more or less restriction free on what they can broadcast. They just do some self censoring. It works now, why mess with a good thing?
Is this like five degrees of Kevin Bacon, but with NBC?
Here's mine: Me, My father works for GE Medical Systems, GEMS is a subsidary of GE, GE owns NBC Universal (NBC Universal is supposed to be said with a Wizard of the Oz or Gou'uld-like voice).
I'm a little confused as to why the camps are either all boys or all girls. The only reason I can come up with is limited lodging, but personally I'm leaning more towards the teachers being afraid of women.
Not only will Mozilla (and Firefox)'s built-in popup blocking help you. They also do not support ActiveX scripting. You have to get a plugin for it, and even once you have the plugin installed the controlls are tighter.
Who's the moron that thought it'd be cool to embed executable code in a web page anyway? Well, he's not as big of a moron as the guy who let it execute ANY code.
He mentioned on air that he does the show out of San Fran somewhere. I can't quite remember if he said he did it in his house or not, but either way he doesn't do it in LA. Although, you are right. The show is broadcast from LA.

Wasn't that the "plot" to the movie Anti-Trust?

So....does this mean that after they tried again, the first 3 letters the grace the internet were lol.

It's a scary thought....
Will Google by any chance be using any of Project Gutenberg's texts?

Yeah, this is just going to be another crying baby on a cramped 5 hour flight. I wish they'd keep it how it is.

Has anyone thought of sending out messages telling people how to turn off Windows Messenger?

Wow, even I thought that was lame.
Download TweakUI from the MS Power Toys section, it will let you change a slew of settings. Including disabling autorun.
I'm also pretty sure that holding shift when you put the cd in will do the same thing.
I'm sorry, that was supposed to read:
The Screen Savers had a small demonstartion on this. Keven Rose was able to get it working aswell, but it was extremely slow.
