However, slot machines can and are audited against the cash they actually hold inside. In your scheme there is still nothing stopping the machine from swapping a vote from one column to another. If you want similar standards you will have to give voters a token they can insert when they vote, at which point the voting machine becomes nothing more than an over engineered ballot box.
... P2P software writers will switch to UDP, and manually do the in-order/reliable delivery stuff themselves. Writing a new flow control protocol is hard. Instead of reinventing the wheel completely, how about swapping from TCP to a user mode SCTP stack encrypted and tunneled over a non-standard UDP port?
Providing that kind of bandwidth wouldn't stop the biggest users of their network from leaching 24/7. At say 60KB/s you could still download about 5GB a day or 150GB per month. Even at 64kbps you can download 675 MB per day or about 20GB per month. But your connection would be useless for anything else.
Bandwidth caps are normally lifted at the same time billing is done for the next month.
For example, the summary page provided by my ISP currently shows;
Account Information
Account Name: Adam Direct Average
Account Type: ADSL
Quota: 20,000 MB Per Month
Next Billing Due: 6th February 2008 [20 Days]
Usage Information
External Download Usage: 8094 / 20000 MB Used
Local Download Usage: 657 MB
Upload Usage: 5368 / 20000 MB Used
If you go to their plan page you can see that when you hit your limit on any of the 3 metered types of data they limit you're download and upload speed to 64kbps, nearly as slow as a modem.
I believe they run a script to update your stats from their routers every fifteen minutes.
Back in the dialup days it was common to pay for bandwidth by the MB, with plans that included a certain amount per month. With the move to broadband, the same types of plans were used initially. Until there were a couple of highly publicised cases of multiple thousand dollar bandwidth bills, because someone had left some p2p program or other minimised for the whole month. Then came the "unlimited" plans from telstra (with a bandwidth cap in the fine print as I've outlined above).
While exact terms and implementations vary between AU ISP's, there are no cheap truly unlimited connection plans. And there is no where near the amount of bandwidth overselling as occurs with US ISP's.
If I'm downloading something, and it isn't flooding my downstream capacity, the main bottle neck will either be outside of the country, or the machine at the other end of the connection doesn't have enough available bandwidth. It is extremely rare for any internet connection in AU to experience congestion in the backbone of the ISP's network.
Just because programming a game takes a large amount of perspiration and effort over a long period of time doesn't mean you can demote programmers to the lowly status of labourer. A great programmer is as much of an artist as a great writer. Writing well structured, reusable code is hard.
While I realise having a good writer, like having a good salesman, is indispensable. And can make a huge difference to your profitability. So is having a good programmer. Good talent should be rewarded in every discipline.
So I google "welcome our new * overlords", and I get 403 "We're sorry..." "... but your query looks similar to automated requests from a computer virus or spyware application"
The system around here AFAIK gives the vehicles (well probably the depo they come from) control over a couple of short routes out of their base. As soon as the call comes in, the whole route turns green allowing all traffic to flush through before they get there. Annoying if you're trying to cross, but it works fairly well.
The reaction is always consuming IO3-, acid and hydrogen peroxide to produce ICH(COOH)2, water and oxygen. However there are a number of different reactions going on at different rates with different catalysts that change the concentrations of I-, HIO, HIO2 and I2.
High concentrations of I2 by itself looks amber. High I2 and I- with starch turns blue / black. As the I2 is consumed the solution becomes clear.
I thought part of the reason Mormons knocked door to door was to test the faith of their members. So in their case you should look for a route that increases the burden on their soles.

That's why I said SCTP...

I'd put myself in the same gifted category. I often find myself starting something and
Actually, no. It's more like a curly straw with the fluid clinging to the outside of it. Not stored in the middle.
Perfect for any Box of Orden.

BTW, Option 3 is the way most broadband plans work in AU.

So they put a hard disk into an airport extreme, and added $120 to the cost (500GB version). For that price you can buy your own external USB disk.
"... numerous Windows-only worms". Yes and no. Most of them are trojans, hardly any of them are based on fully automated remote exploits.
"died in a spanking accident". No results. Well, until this is indexed.
Sorry, wrong again. Now it's four.

You've manually /.ed google!.

It doesn't go on forever.

I thought plan B was The Name Game followed by the Macarena.
Some ethernet hardware can offload a number of expensive yet common operations to be done in hardware. But it doesn't always work.
Certainly the latency was lower, but the bandwidth sucked. Don't underestimate the bandwidth of a state coach full of parchment.
The bad news will probably be that IE8 will be on vista only. They may finally have found a killer feature for their new OS.
