I've always gotten great help at Apple's support forum, you might want to try that.
If are used to one computer/program and start to use another it is often the case that some things are harder in one and easier in the other and others are just different. If you judge OS X on its conformance to MS design standards, it will fail. Accept that you will have to learn a few things about a new OS (across the board) and go with its flow a bit, and it will work much more smoothly for you.
Probably the best thing for you to do would be to write an apple script (or perl program) that implements your desires in an automated fashion. After you do that, you will find it hard to use either OS without that script (so write it in perl).
We will never know for sure, but now there is broad consensus among people who have seriously looked at this that the planet is warming and it is causing tons of problems. My rhetorical skill is irrelevant to this fact.
With the ozone layer issue, we now know that crops could not have been grown by 2050. We were not 100 percent sure we were doing the right thing when we started, but we did it anyways, and it literally saved humanity.
If you are wrong, human life on earth could end. If I am wrong we could waste about 1/2 percent gdp growth for a few decades. Both are pretty bad, but one is much worse.
It has really rudimentary QOS I could manage things I didn't want to manage but not things that I wanted to be able to manage. As I said, "there is no QOS to say things like: prioritize movies from my server to my TV, or give my laptop the bandwidth of the internet connection if I'm moving files up or down from the server."
I write software (developer tools, remote server management tools), teach (MS office required), and writeup research (real document creation software and citation management software) and I have about 20 things in my dock. I think that if I installed a "finder" like quickster, I'd never use it, though I do sometimes use spotlight to find a file, I usually am using the find text in the document feature when I'm doing this.
Using more than 20 programs doesn't really make sense to me, I doubt that most people use more than 10 of them a week.
If you think there are no options in OS X, you need to get to know the CLI. It is still unix, you can go and edit the script / config files just like any *nix.
The uninsured are uninsurable? Name another country with a GDP per capita close to ours where they (a) are not covered OR (b) they pay more per capita for health care.
Most countries with GPD per capita in our region pay less per capita for health care and it is universal. Most pay about half per capita what we pay. The only complaint I've ever seen about the French system is that people get too much health care. But they pay about 1/2 what we pay.
All this while we have incredibly high infant mortality rates and middle-short life spans relative to these same countries.
Single payer works.
Why don't HSA's work? I had one recently. I needed one diagnostic test and one procedure that year. I called the hospital to ask what the cost was, they said the could not tell me until I got the bill. uh. How am I supposed to shop around, exactly? For the procedure I asked the doctor and he quoted me a cost that was 1/10 of what the total was--but not binding because he was just saying it from memory.
For health care to be a market, you have to end negotiated rates, but if you end negotiated rates, I'll never do another visit again.
Another problem: studies have been done on making people pay more for health care and we already know the results: they decrease their use of doctors BUT they do so in an uninformed way: they visit less for the cold (waste of time and money) and for serious but treatable conditions.
Why do you think the North West passage opened up for the first time in memory?
The cap on the North Pole has never been as small as it was this August.
Prediction: It will be smaller yet next August. This claim is falsifiable, at it was made last year, but you can wait until next year if you want to call it science.
Installed Tomato on my WRT54GL and I lost about 5 dB. After spending about a month mucking with all the settings (and loving that I could do that) I had to go back so I could sit where I am now and use the internet. I used to have to use a less comfortable chair.
Also, there is no QOS to say things like: prioritize movies from my server to my TV, or give my laptop the bandwidth of the internet connection if I'm moving files up or down from the server.
The fact that you don't understand how a system works doesn't mean that it is broken.
If the random number generator is at all competent, It would be really difficult to come up with fraud that could both change the election results and not be detected. If the results are close, I'd say count them all, it is what we do now and I see no reason not to. But most of the time you just need to verify that the machine did fine.
Well, there are problems with this. Like, if and I are writing a book from which i will derive most of my income and you ride a bike without a helmet and die, do I get paid by the insurance company for the lost wages?
If you hit someone and cause millions of dollars worth of damage to them, how do you pay? The DOT value of a human life is $3 million, but if a private party kills a family member you just get what the person was insured for, which is often the state (regulated) minimum of $100k or so. If it weren't for that regulation, you'd just get a few thousand dollars in most cases (the person's net worth).
So, is there a way to insert an "inexpensive electronic device" into a ballot? Simple solution, remove all unused connectors from the circuit boards. For every vulnerability there's a solution.
From the abstract of the video, the man in the middle is between the UI and the machine. No way to remove that vulnerability.
Here is an unremovable attacks to a purely electronic system: system programed to not count votes correctly if the date and time are right for voting based on an unsettable clock not revealed to the administrator's UI--when the battery on the clock fails, the machine reports a hardware failure that requires service form the manufacturer.
You could get around this with an open hardware and open software method, but it somehow got deep into our consciousness that profit is better than no profit when it comes to manufacturing, so that will never happen (the obstacle here is not technical, it is sociological).
At the end of the day the machine will have a count on it A: 120, B: 83. You then randomly select a small fraction of the machines and count the ballots in them. If there are discrepancies, you can project their size accurately and see if the margin of error is close to a win/loss changer.
If there are individual machine with seriously questionable results, you can again open them up and do a hand count.
The idea of the non-humanly readable format is so the vote is private. Where I used to vote, you punch holes, so a person who knows the hold orders could see my vote regardless of which side is up when I'm putting it in the machine.
The size of the conspiracy needed to have a serious amount of vote selling is so large that we are completely sunk from the get go if that is a concern.
The ballot never leaves the voting area, only the vote counter gets close to it, video and other imaging technology would be needed and can be monitored.
You are getting R confused with S. S is a language created at Bell Labs. R is a FOSS implementation, written in the academy. R is the mozilla of stats software where, "there is an add-in for that." An approach that has not worked/happened for other stats software which focus on the cathedral model.
The Van Allen belt is not problematic because of the magnet, it is the particles caught in the magnetic field that are the problem. They are flying around in circles, stuck forever (well, until they interact or decay). Dampening the field in one area would just make them fly straight for a bit, but they would be just as harmful as they were when they were flying in curly cues.
selling a real piece on eBay would be moronic, it would be like putting the real Mona Lisa up there. You sell your Mona Lisa through a dealer, not eBay.

There is this thing called a patent...
There is also no reason not to create an enclosed box that generates power for long enough that it has to be cold fusion.

From the outside, it looked like he was able to have small business owner type control of that huge business.

That can't possibly be. You could drive 200 MPH so long as you registered your car in your spouse's name.
I got one while my car was stolen and I was able to say I wasn't driving only if I then snitched on who WAS driving.
Isn't that why running a red light / speeding are not moving violations (boggles the mind, yes) now when photo enforced.
If you think there are no options in OS X, you need to get to know the CLI. It is still unix, you can go and edit the script / config files just like any *nix.
I'm afraid your unix-geek card is going to have to be revoked if you prefer 4 clicks to a CLI command.

But YMMV.
I vote with a pencil. Given your scheme, I could sell my vote and still vote my preference.
I see no reason not to make the system use pencils and allow the person to submit a hand penciled in ballot.

You laugh, but a patent lawyer didn't already think of this when writing a claims section needs to be fired.
