What if you had a paper ballot printed out, verified by the voter, and then stored in a secure location so in the event that the e-voting machines screw up, you'll have physical ballots that can be counted by other more trustable means?
That would be fine, but I think the point of this is being able to refuel on its own. What good is sugar for fuel when the bot is 10 miles away in a jungle or something?
Well, aside from the free additional software you get with Suse and the arguable better qualitity of the software, I'd imagine that the cost savings come from buying things in bulk. $50 might not make much of a difference when buying an individual laptop for yourself, but it would make a difference if you're buying 1000 for your company.
According to the website, all Lockout does is run a script that you write that does whatever you want, and then after a specified time period (or a reboot) runs another script that you write to undo what the first one did. So it doesn't have to block web access if you don't want it to. (But regardless, I don't see why you'd be using this if it prevents you from doing what you need to do.)
Well, your anaology's flawed a bit. It'd be more like finding someone's door unlocked, then walking in, looking through their things, then informing a newspaper about that person's poor security.
it's kinda like MAC users saying how the MAC is so secure because all of the viruses are windows viruses...well, that's because no one bothers to write a virus for MACs...
I dunno, it seems like everybody on slashdot, (maybe even the whole Internet!) is using MAC addresses, and I can't remember the last time someone wrote a virus for them.
Note that this only works in regular old Mozilla. As far as I know, there's no way to disable the download manager in Firefox. But please, correct me if I'm wrong.
Who says that mainstream computer users have to compile all their apps from source? This is what binary packages are for, the end user can choose between them.
That's not necessarily true. The Apple iPod has many advantages over any competing brand, such as its popularity and association with mp3 players, iTunes lock-in, being the first to market, etc. I can easily see the Dell DJ being a better product and not gaining market share.
The only problem with such a philosphy is that most likely, 99% of their customers do not care and will still pay. In fact, if you do cancel your service, a whole nother bunch of people will take your place. You as an individual customer mean very little to nil to the companies.
I was looking at the design for the DS and I noticed that there's a big design flaw for me and my tenth of the population. If the stylus is going to be in our left hands, how is a left hander supposed to use the D-Pad that is on the left side?

That's easy to solve, just fold the '0's in half. I'm surprised that no one's thought of that.
Not true, the article says that the PayPal account can be linked to a bank account or credit card, and you can also use funds already in your account.
Nevermind, something seems to have gone wrong at wired.com, but it's fixed now and both links are working. Ignore my post.
The link in the summary is incorrect, the story is at http://www.wired.com/news/technology/0,1282,65906, 00.html.
This is getting old pretty fast.

Actually, to me it looks more like a giant eyeball.
Actually, that only comes out to 12.6 terabytes:
180,000 frames * 70 MB = 12,600,000 MB = 12,600 GB = 12.6 TB
You've already done this troll once already today, try to be a bit more creative.
Disable popup blocking for gmail.google.com.
Am I one of the only people who would rather use hotmail anyway rather than gmail or spymac?
Yes.
That killer app may be VoIP. If everyone wants their own IPv6 phone number.
Sometime in 2045, when IPv6 is deployed...
Hey, here's my new VoIP number! It's de56:234d:13b5:123b:1337:923a:be34:ab21!
Maybe we'd best start using RFC 1924...

shit.slashdot.org? I know that a lot of regular stories on slashdot are BS, but an entire section devoted to it?
Assuming it's the same as with SP1, installing the new service pack will erase all previous restore points. I'm not 100% sure, though.

All I'm saying is that their implementation of this business model is ailienating a large portion of the people most likely to use it.
