We have a number on the ballots as well, but (I don't think) that the numbers are corresponded to a voters name at any place. The name is crossed off the list of eligible voters once they've received a ballot.
In our county, we use the optically scanned "fill in the circle with a number 2 pencil" kind of ballots.
We've got a similar problem, except that it's the winter time is the hardest to keep the room cool. During the summer, we run the air conditioner enough for the rest of the building that we can use the building's AC to keep the room nice and comfortable.
During the winter, however, the room is near the furnace, and I have a difficult time getting rid of the excess heat.
Our solution (such as it is) is to install a window unit AC in the room and vent the heat into the surrounding area. During the winter time, the heat zone that the room is in constantly runs the "fan only/no heat" option - it definitely helps the server room, but makes some of the other rooms less comfortable.
Our ultimate solution is to eventually move the server room, when that's possible.
In some small towns (depending upon the megalomania of the postmaster), you can still send mail to:
FirstName LastName
City, ST, xxxxx
and it will get there.
Has miscrosoft ever released public products or services that were labeled beta? From my memory, everything they produced was the most complete, functional, secure and final solution around.
Assuming there is some sort of a standard for passing the biometric info, it could be passed along with the credit card number, CCV number, name, and billing address as an additional point of verification to get a card authorization.
1) Mandatory tagging of criminals - There seems to be a fundamental difference between tagging someone as part of their sentence and tagging someone after their sentence has been served (eg, after release from prison). The latter seems a dangerous trend since it indicates that the punishment for certain crimes may change in an arbitrary fashion, even *after* a criminal has served their time and been "rehabilitated" by societal punishments.
This would be great (from a bank's point of view) where those who have fraudulently opened accounts or have skipped out on debts could be instantly and easily identified prior to opening a new account. This would actually help lower the costs of banking for the majority of consumers.
How many times have you recently noticed a clerk actually look at the signature on the back of one of your credit cards - it's a rare enough occurance that I always compliment the clerk that does look at it.
I'm on a volunteer rural fire department, and we've had some chances to fill a vacant house with smoke and practice venting it. It's really amazing how fast one of those fans can clear out a house.
I've got a $20 bill from 1932 (I think). The green ink is much darker than contemporary 20s.
It's kind of neat to think about how much that was worth at the time it was minted.

My two are Outlook (our internal e-mail client) and, more importantly, we have a web-based application that depends upon SQL Server/ActiveX Controls.
Hee Hee - he said temperance.
How many users actually make use of the more advanced features of Word (or most other Office products)?
In my experience, the most that people actually get into is mail merge. Few users go beyond that.
MS Office's biggest weakness is that it keeps piling on additional features with every release, but most people only need basic word processing.

In northern Iowa, many small highschool football teams are going to 8 man football.
Last week, one such school decided to stay at 11 man football for the next season, and the local paper said that that school will ---
Continue to play 11 person football!
That's just plain stupid! Women playing football are few and far between - calling it 11 man football is entirely ok and not offensive to anyone!
If you are on a business trip and decided to stop in and have a doughnut for breakfast, the receipt would be useful to get reimbursed.

Other than most x.0 releases?
Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean that nobody's out to get you.
In this case, he's probably just nuts.

Try converting $15k in change - won't be as easy as you think.

It would be lucrative, but then you'd have to be able to do something with $15K in quarters.
Sounds similar to what IBM does with the AS/400 - allowing hardware subsystems to run different operating systems.
Minnesota has very high sales taxes too! How bad are they in South Dakota? Iowa is trying to work its way up to the level of taxation in Minnesota.
I'm pretty sure that most of them would, in fact, like to see it lowered by -1% to bring it "down" to 10%
Diebold makes ATMs as well.
Right now most ATMs run OS2 - a different OS, but still uniform
What's that?
