How high can this be if you are required to give three months? My question is why take the job in the first place when you know they want to treat you like dirt?
In the end the only way I see electronic voting working is in an object oriented fashion. There is a scanned ballot that you can fill out by hand, or you can have the machine fill it out for you. It's humanly readable and the vote counts when it get sucked into the vote counting machine.
The issue that touch screen was supposed to solve was that blind people can not vote in privacy. All the touch screen machines were supposed to have a audio link that would read the ballot to you. and allow you to vote using just this. I can't imagine it worked better than the rest of the machine, so I'm not sure the blind aren't better of being less private but knowing that their vote counts for who they want it to count for.
The other real advantage of touch screen voting is that you could have instant runoff polling where you rank the competitors from 1 to n the vote are tallied for the person you have voted 1 for. Then the lowest vote getter is removed and if it was your first, you are now voting for you 2nd. So it goes until it is a 1v1 and someone wins decisively. This makes it so third parties can be voted for without the risk of "throwing away" your vote.
The little lie of this calculation is what if a CFL blows right after you get it (as noted in the GGGGGP post) some fixtures--the closed kind--can't accept a CFL, what about the energy required to produce and replace all of them?
Don't get me wrong, I love CFLs and have them in every location I can in my house, but they just don't work everywhere.
But we keep hearing about how cell companies don't make any money. One good way to tell if a company is making money is to look at its stock price. Verizon, as an example, hasn't had it's price move in quite a while. If it's owners aren't getting rich, why would they want to charge so much more than the cost?
I'm not sure where you get your theory of market forces but you might be interested in the Cournot Game. It says that self interested non-coordinating firms that set quantity and then have price set by the market will tend to yield n/(n+1) of the perfect market quantity and a price over the market price. The split is always exactly 1/n for each form and this represents the unique Nash equilibrium for the game.
yeah, I don't understand. I guess he's saying that, "We went for it hook line and sinker and they did the equivalent of RTFA and now know what it really says, but I still think there not very good at reporting." Or is it supposed to mean something else?
I'm not sure, the text indicates that you have to be paid. And if I could read legal I would be more confident, but it looks like you might have to be paid to do exactly what you are doing (i.e. if someone posted after being paid to post by a politician).
speaking of earthquake proof, cement is notoriously bad for earthquakes. The more bendy the material, the better it does in an earthquake. wood, for example, is the best material. Even cement mfgrs say you need steel in the walls for a cement home to be sturdy.
Unless you want to be on topic for the article. It was a serious question, you seem to be a foreign key lover, are the non-ansi compliant things in MySQL deal breakers or common? I don't know.
I disagree that desks are completely intuitive (no sarcasm). One of my current desks has a locking system that it took me a while to figure out, and certainly the locations of information in the file drawer aren't "obvious" as soon as you sit down.
If you teach someone to drive with the accelerator on the left and brake on the right, they will take some adjustment time to get used to the new plan, but will eventually find their way. The point is that after having used both the two OSs for a while I've found that I vastly prefer OS X.
I can't stand the maximize button on windows (I have a 22 inch monitor, when would I ever want to do what it does?), the start menu is horribly inefficient and counter intuitive (a) I often have to hover over several things just so to get to the app I want, and have a hard time finding it when I'm not at my computer (b) the old standard: what's the first thing you click when you want to shut down? The only good thing in the bar is the quick launch.
I've also found that I just don't resize or move apps as often on OS X, I don't know why, but it's just easier to get from app to app and they just start placed better and with a better size. there is also the fact that TeXShop is only on OS X and I just can't write without it, but that's just for me.
My personal favorite. In a family members house, five bars in the whole house with verizon -- but if you try to call it drops within a few seconds. The only place you can get it to not drop is holding it one spot and then the voice quality is trash (but still five bars). When I first saw the bars I realize "bar inflation" was the result of it.
Now, I'm pure Sprint, 2+ bars is always good call quality, 1= okay, 0 =bad.
Not quite, here is a site for bikers that claims 1 second to recognize the problem AND react with the breaks. Second, based on their 15 feet sec^-2 deceleration that an average driver can achieve (that's have a g, not half bad) you will hit that driver after 1.1 second at 7.3 feet. In fact, no matter what your speed your brake distance will be exactly the other drivers break distance if you both can only do the same deceleration rate, but you will have traveled 88 feet (at 60 mph) in that second before you started breaking, so anything less than 88 feet and you will run into the next driver at some point during the breaking process.
The results look totally nuts. How can it be that changing from 2000 to 2005 halves every expense? I'd be a little hesitant but accept labor, the only thing I can see is that since the cost of hardware halved, there must be half as many boxes, but the fact that they are using half as much bandwidth implies... their subscription level also halved?
This is sort of a problem for Apple. the iBook / Powerbook had good name separation, "MacBook" and "MacBook Pro" were bad choices b/c everybody adds "pro" to everything these days to mean absolutely nothing. So you'd think you could drop it.
As far as the no proofing, it's supposed to be part of the charm of the site. I think it's like how people like soaps to look cheap and for the sets to fall over sometimes.
Yeah, but most new power plants these days are natural gas, and if you live in California, then you are just in a energy nightmare seperate from the rest of the world where you regulate, get screwed; deregulate get screwed far worse; regulate and get screwed.
Hmm, that's actually a great point, but wouldn't the SW companies love that--licenses for each user instead of for each computer.
That asside, at a university, the place is usually awash with apps, but where are your documents? In your flash drive or email, if you keep them on the server, how do you get them from home (scp will do, but it's not the easiest to use relative to "click here, do that.")
A search of the trademark database shows that not only did he fail to actually file the trademark, but it was also already taken by a toy manufacturer. But I don't know if it's possible for a toy manufacturer and a DOD contractor to have the same TM.
Really, what they should be tapping into here is the ABS computers in our cars. While the breaks might be a little less responsive... it's for a good cause.
Does anybody know if these are offered in either split (aka natural) formats or alternative layouts (i.e. Dvorak). There is no reason not to except to keep overhead low.
There is nothing wrong with a paper trail, so long as you leave it at the polling facility. This is, afterall, how I have voted every time I've voted. The best thing to do is to make the paper trail the real vote and the electronic vote either a glorified hole puncher or possibly a "quick tabulator" that is later verified with the real things.
If you can't do that with DRM, then we are better off with the scanable pencil ballots.
You may want to check the 6 dB figure: Here is the wikipedia page. It's a log scale, so every 3 dB is about a factor of 2 and every 10 dB is a factor of ten (the log here is base 10 for reasons I can't understand.

will they have to register as lobbyists?
are you sure you don't have to be paid and have a lobbying contract to have to register? This looks like it might be not all the article claims it is.

Wait, isn't this discussion about MySQL doing exactly that?
