How many candidates per piece of paper? How big should each candidate's name be written? In what ORDER should the names of the candidates be written? When are the ballots printed?
This has very little to do with the actual process of voting. Chances are the ballots are put together ON A COMPUTER days or weeks before the actual event. They have plenty of time to sort the order, the font size or whether to use double or single spacing.
It is the pyhsical act of walking into a ballot booth and casting your vote that is the apparent problem they are trying to overcome, one that is not solved by simply sticking a computer in front of the electorate.
For the life of me I cant find any books on this programming language called open source.
I can program in java, C++ and (forgive me) COBOL74. I would love to be able to program in open source.
Call it a coincidence, but Im sitting here with my 80x20 emulator window (in a nice yellow text on blue background) to a Unisys M/F, going stir crazy at 8:50 in the morning, trying to figure out why all my cheque requests come out with a value of £0! My nice Java based web client is useless unless all this COBOL74 (so old, I wasnt even born when it was released) code to actually do anything worthwhile.
Our M/F is due to be upgraded later this year, if we are lucky it might have a Java 1.0.2 VM!

Kind of makes visiting www.getfirefox.com diffcult, wouldnt you think?
