'There is no independent verification that the software contained in it is the same as the production Diebold machines used in the vote tallies.
From the referenced paper:
The machine we obtained came loaded with version 4.3.15 of the Diebold BallotStation software that runs the machine during an election. This version was deployed in 2002 and certified by the National Association of State Election Directors (NASED) [11].

Well maybe Canada, Europe, and the U.S. could support the UN open source geeks in resolving the crisis by sending Theo, Linus, and RMS! After all, they are so even-tempered and compromising, that they should be able to bring the sides together into mutual understanding and caring:)
LISP was originally implemented on the IBM 704. I believe that an ALGOL58 implementation was begun at IBM, but I don't know if it was ever successfully finished (as you note, FORTRAN was the standard there). A derivitive (MAD) was implemented on the IBM 704.

I don't know about your neck of the woods, but here (Canada) many ATMs will accept payment for bills and allow transfer of funds which are often not integral multiples of dollars. However, a good UI would realise that a withdrawal does not require this amount of discrimination and reset it to 00.

In what way is this cheating?

Avi Ruben also has an interesting blog article on his experiences as a poll worker in the recent Maryland election.
I wonder if Jason works for the board of directors of this company.

Khidir beneath Momouteh.
He took the term because the thin slice of cork at which he was looking had structures that reminded him of Monks' cells.
So why doesn't the same argument apply to porn?
Fortunately, I'm not the goates.cx guy or that would imply that Jupiter mightn't be big enough to be a planet :)
Does anyone know the minimal diameter that these astronomers proposed for a revolving body to be a planet?

Because it's linear data in the time domain.
'... after all, most folks' eyes are a good deal more sensitive to data than their ears.'
Not so in the time domain; the eye can barely discriminate down to 1/16th of a second (e.g.: movies run (or did) at 24 frames per second).
And the record structure as well as sophisticated file handling.
