Simiilarly, I don't see why they do organ transplants on people who might not live but a couple more years (think Mickey Mantle, or extremely elder folks, in general). If somebody's in their 80s/90s/100s, why do that?
"pass out pens of a certain type in districts favorable to your candidate, then calibrate the machine to read that type of ink."
The ideal planning would seem to be to undermine the districts where the opponent has the lead with the use of bad ink and misreading voting machines. This approach just recounts the votes you'd essentially already have. How does "more winning" a district you have help you any?
"It also suggests a new strategy for rigging the vote: pass out pens of a certain type in districts FAVORABLE to your candidate, then calibrate the machine not to read that type of ink"?
If not, I'd hate to be the campaign manager who came up with that idea.

I disagree.
If you remove the negatives it reads as:
"pass out pens of a certain type in districts favorable to your candidate, then calibrate the machine to read that type of ink."

Shouldn't the end of the blurb read:
"It also suggests a new strategy for rigging the vote: pass out pens of a certain type in districts FAVORABLE to your candidate, then calibrate the machine not to read that type of ink"?

Oh, come on now...let's be honest. They're just re-airing Seaquest episodes.
I think the blurb is wrong...the Wired article is actually titled "The Idiot-Savants" and the competition is called "Useless Party Tricks".
I didn't know that Mechs came with air horns for battlefield use... Maybe I could get a Mad Cat that plays "La Cucaracha"...that would be so sweet...
Sorta like this, found at the bottom of this page?
You obviously never watched the highly educational "Secret of My Success", starring the ever informative Michael J. Fox.
The south? Checked a map lately?
WTF?
