So? Bush, Gore, and Clinton did not get a majority. All of the totals you mention are short of the 50% which is required.
Are you sure? The more than half aspect of majority is only part of the definition:
majority: The greater number or part; a number more than half of the total. The amount by which the greater number of votes cast, as in an election, exceeds the total number of remaining votes. The political party, group, or faction having the most power by virtue of its larger representation or electoral strength. Law. The status of having reached full legal age, with attendant rights and responsibilities. The military rank, commission, or office of a major. Obsolete. The fact or state of being greater; superiority.
How do blind people read the touchscreen ballots? At least a paper ballot could have Braille dots.
Perhaps with a pair of headphones, it could be read to them. And how do the make their selection, you ask? A row of buttons can be included on any side of the screen with braille on them. They could say: selection A, etc.
A Ford Escort in Europe is almost like a luxury car in the US.
This tells me that Europe has worse quality cars, if a Ford Escort is deemed a luxury car..
It should in fact tell you that a European Ford Escort is built to a higher standard than it's US equivelant. Afterall it was compared to a US luxery car. But that's just what I got from reading the comment you're quoting.
They got bought for a song in January 1999 by a company called Getronics
Yeah, I got hired just prior to this, at which time the were known as Wang Global. After the sale the name changed to Getronics Wang, then just Getronics. After that around 2000 QualexServ sorta split off(?). Some other contract stuff was taken over by Systech and the rest is history. Good times! ^_^
There is no difference between ATMs and humans. They are no better than they are made, just like the bills.
Meaning what exactly? I've never heard of an ATM that served up money that was deposited into it by a customer. Don't you have to put it in an envelope? Meaning a person (or persons) would have had to have handled the bill before being put into the dispensing ATM.
[devil's advocate] Shouldn't the US Gov concentrate harder on getting the DNA sequences of every American citizen, so that they can clone anyone killed in the terrorist attacks, wrather than focus on the materialistic parts of the country? What's more important? [/devil's advocate]
Why bother, when we can wish them back with the Dragon Balls?
Nobody is allowed to post any more about emulators running emulators until they can provide a rigorous upper bound on the maximum depth of the emulator within an emulator recursion, as a function of system resources.
Oh, I know this one: Run enough recursions and the resources will run out?

Because at some point you realize you've made a mistake supporting him.
That's all fine and dandy, just don't expect anyone to actually admit to this mistake.
what if someone with malicious intent combines the three to obtain a board with a nail at the end?/B>
Especially with bigger boards and bigger nails.
Maybe we can start a loop with this

Sounds like something from Pokemon.
Ah, it must be a Bug-type then.

Cool, finally. The technology to have Washuu's laptop. ^_^
pushing the ends towards each other, or pulling the ends apart
Those are compressive and tensile, respectively.
(can't think of the word...you know what I mean)
Yep, it's called statute of limitatons.
Grates cheese
That gives a whole new meaning to Mac'n'Cheese.

Have you never been taught that you'll catch more flies with honey?
I never did understand the reasoning behind that saying. I'd have to say you can catch just as many flies with road kill and feces.

Like the comercial says: Strategized marketecture!
So the moon is indeed a projection from the ground, and we blew it up during a botched nuke test?
HA! I thought so!
Pheh, everyone knows the moon was destroyed twice, once by Mutenroshi and again by Piccolo to reverse the Saiya-jin ape transformation.
just put a image tag in the mail.
True. However even that is suspect. That is, who but spammers just put an image tag and nothing else?

In Soviet Russia, movies pirate you!
No need to go over there. That happens all over. ^_^
I was under the impression that T3 was going to tell the story of Skynet coming on-line and the war - taking place entirely in the future.
That's what Terminator 4 is for.
Also, before terrorism, they had the children.
Won't someone please think of the terrorists!!!

You want: bits/micron^2
No, dude. You want:
bit/square/micron
Why the hell does everyone scream "DMCA" everywhere...
/. posters are at least as bad as companies at claiming things are DMCA violations when they aren't
That's not it. We're just preempting the companies you mention, that all.
And according to this post by JPriest your wrong. Your point?
