I really think the old paper balots where the best bet. When I lived in New Hampshire you filled in a paper balot and they fed it into a machine to be counted. (Think SAT tests here). THe computer counted it, but if they had to I am sure that they could re-do it by hand.
It was easy, cheap and low tech. I really think much of this e-voting a solution looking for a problem.
Exactley if it isn't broke don't fixit because you'll only break it if you do.
Sounds like your run-of-the-mill OSS tech support, if you ask me. Why is it OK to blame "idiot users" when they have problems with complicated OSS, but unacceptable to blame them for not knowing how to use a TOUCH SCREEN?
How is that diffrent from any tech support or even getting a car fixed or having your plumbing fixed. Almost everyone who knows something about a subject blames the user.
He previously attempted to tear up voter registrations because they were printed on the wrong thickness of paper.
I presume he failed because the paper was to thick. Seriousley how do people like this ever stay in there position whilst diplaying and inability to cope with the job.
im Yet to have a page not work in firefox i wont say 100% of the web supports it as that's unlikley, but i have had the same amount of rendering problems with IE as i have had with Firefox i.e. None. and i have certainley had more spyware problems with IE than firefox.
First you had to go to the republican party headquarters to get them, and they said it was to be a republican event. *Everyone* knew they were not allowed to protest in the rally
How is wearing a T-shirt saying portect our civil liberties a protest? unless the abolition of Civil liberties is part of GWB's election promises.
1) Implicitly argued that the President was curtailing Civil Liberties.
No they just said protect our civil liberties not whom they want to be protected from.
2) Identified the wearers as protestors (and thus uninvited to that private gathering).
No they said protect our civil liberties not I'm an uninvited protestor it was the Republicans who reacted like they where guilty of infringing civil liberties not one t-shirt accused the republicans directly, it was a very clever trick to reveal there guilt and it worked.
Let's say I come to your family's bah mitzvah wearing a shirt that says "Hilter was right." What would you do? Probably exactly what the event organizers did.
If someone came along to a party of mine wearing something truly offensive like your example I would kick them out, if someone came along to a party of mine wearing a tea shirt that simply disagreed with an opinion i had I would talk to them about it not kick them out if I did kick them out I doubt I would have many guests at my party or friends in general for that matter.
Your suggesting Bush and Co find civil liberties as repugnant as Jews do supporters of the holocaust that's rather disturbing; if that is the case do you really want someone who hates freedom and civil liberties to be president.
Also, this does not mean I think the rights of a public protester should be curtailed or trodden on. However, going to a pro-candidate event and doing something decidedly anti-candidate serves no real purpose but to generate ill-will. Is there a snowball's chance in hell of changing anyone's mind at that gathering? No.
So Bush really is a hater of freedom and civil liberties, what happened to the land of the free? What I don't get is the bad handling of this by the Republicans by chucking them out they have shown that they are against any sort of freedom or civil liberties a bit of a PR blunder.
As someone who has been peppered sprayed by cops during protests, I have a right to make a joke!"
I got a friend to pepper spray me once to see what I does the most interesting thing was the taste it was really nice helped to take my mind of how my eyes were feeling which were feeling pretty bad.
Also have seen two friends one of them was the person who pepper sprayed me use CS gas on themselves that is truly nasty stuff but funny to watch someone us it on themselves, pepper spray is mild in comparison.
before any karma Whore calls BS my friend gets this stuff from Poland which from the story's he's told me has practically no limitation on the sort of weapons you can buy. He just walks casually walk through customs although he hasn't done this since 9/11, he really doesn't want to be caught aboard a plane with Taser, cosh, pepper spray or whatever he is bringing back this time. He now posts them to himself and is polish Citizen as well as British which i think helps.
I do know we have the first computer bug;) that was posted a while ago on slashdot
it was a literal bug wasn't it a moth or something?
as for the first. I consider the first successful anything to be the first. not the first to attempt.
that's whay i gave you the plane but not the car they may not have been great but they did work. execpt the very first steam powered car which crashed. Lol the french can claim the first car crash.
Orville and Wilbur Wright didn't invent the plane; they made the first successfully powered flight many people had glided before in planes. There is no single inventor of the plane like the car it is combination of ideas. But you're mostly correct so I will give you that.
The first car (automobile) was built by a Frenchman. or a german for the first petrol powered car.
The first electrical computers would be Bomba and Colossus both designed and built in Britain although the design of bomba was started by Poland before the war, I can't believe you forgot Poland.
One out of three that's not exactly intellectual, I think you proved the parent point for them.
Physical clones aren't mental clones there is nothing in bin laden Genes that say killer it's in his head. There's every chance a Bin Laden or suicide bomber clone could be horrified and denounce what the original does, it takes years of oppression to make a suicide bombers mind work like it does.
Also cloned terrorists would be easier to spot in a crowd after they have done a couple of attacks.
Paranoid is when you think people are out to get you. being protective is when they really are. Australian companys are not as protective of there data as those in Europe and US.
Some people deal by making jokes. That's quite normal.
Perfectly normal but there are jokes and then there is insults most of the "jokes" have been insults. Jokes are funny because there true not because of people's prejudices. If you can't tell the difference don't try to be funny or joke about something else unconected which is what most people do anyway.
No not jokes but sick fantasies from sick shits who should be banned from this plane of existence not just Slashdot. It's people like them who fly planes into buildings and enjoy the death of innocents.
we do insist that our schools cover a concept called 'evolution' in biology lessons, sometimes even hypothesis of galaxy and solar system formation in physics lessons, and generally encourage a form of thinking called 'the scientific process', in which only observable and repeatable experiments/data are to be treated with any regard.
One could argue therefore that we do persecute certain people who choose not to believe in the scientific process and its implications.
and the most important thing to remember is it's a theory no (reputable) scientist presents evolution as the ultimate truth and rejects all others on faith.
Should have been clearer I removed the.exe so it couldn't be use accidentally by a former friend who managed to get a porn dialler on my machine every time he used it without me being around to hold his hand. No need to be AC or did you not stand by what you said, it's so sad when people don't have conviction about what they say.
Either way, it shouldn't be his problem. Send the POS back.
Unfortunatley manufacturers consider a certain amount of dead pixels and poor response times to be aceptable performance, normally you get a perfectley OK monitor but if there is anything wrong good luck returning it.
Absolutely no delay on the mouse movement but sometimes you can notice delay's on video especially if there is a lot of action going on, I would try to take it back if I where you but this is easer said than done as stores consider a certain amount of dead pixels or bad performance as acceptable in LCD screens. I would advise against buying any sort of flat screen unless you really really need to save space you can't beat a CRT for quality and price.

When did you decide that? there are many historical references to terroists without political goals.

then they are compromised
As a matter of fact, I know of one instance that a WinXP was compromised, over 100 box-years
what the hell is a box year. If you don't count spyware as compromising a box do you count viruses and mailbots?
Lets cut everything except there balls i don't think scrotum can operate a keyboard.

And they get even richer by sucking all the money out of you pockets in return for not going to jail.

Nah it's second edition what I cant wait for is the ME edition, that's going to run so fast and be so stable.
