I am not sure about the american system, but here in Britain with paper voting the balot papers are numbered and when you come in to vote you are registered with that number balot paper, the balot papers are kept until the next election of that type (local, county, general, European) and so in theory they could go back and work out exactly who voted where and for whom, in practice they do not of course. It is harder to change this information on paper balots as you have to physicaly be there, but with electronic voting you can be on the other side of the globe and have set it up days in advance, also with electronic baloting it is very hard to retreive this information once it has been changed.
"The question is not whether or not e-voting machines will prevent all fraud. The question is whether or not e-voting machines will be susceptable to less fraud than the paper ballots, and I think it is obvious that is the case."
This is not really true, if you suspect someone of 'stuffing' a ballot box using paper voting slips you can go back and count them, if you get multiple votes for people, or if dead people voted (there was a case of this, but I can not remember where) then you know that someone cheated. If someone writes a program to modify peoples votes on an electronic system then you can not tell which way they really voted even if you do keep their data stored. Even though 'e-voting' may not be suceptable to the same ways of cheating as traditional paper voting, it is alot harder to check and correct which is the real worry for people who understand the system fully (not me).
"When the microwave was invented was it chaos? Or was it someone wanted a quicker way to cook? The tools to do the same things already existed but weren't as easy. Where is the chaos in that?"
my meaning was that the materials the things were made of were in a state of chaos, do you find microwave cookers just growing from the ground?
somthing that an engineer makes has everything to do with chaos, it is making a "stable" state out of chaos. Yes the engineer makes something that is needed, but you have to have chaos for it to be needed.

I was not really up to reading those sort of books in the 80s (being born in 84) but I did still know most of what the article covered. I still thought it was an interesting article and useful for anyone how did not read those sort of books or works/ed in that industry.
I would quite like to know the answer to this as well, I have an old netgear which I am playing arround with atm but some better firmware would really help.
if they use the usual security cameras along with ordinary flouresent strip lighting there should be no problem, you will not even be able to see what is on the screen sa the refreshrates will interfere so as to make it unreadable.
I do not really see why this is a particular problem, why shouldn't they say that you can not use their name for adverting even if it might not be GPL?

no, if you look closely that is the channel tunnel, it is just a bad way of showing it
but in the EU an appeal will only be granted if the courts think the appealer has a half decent chance of winning.

nah, it was called that because the wheels were in approximately the same ratio as a penny and a farthing
or even this E-mail address (it does exist) dot@dotat.at, that would end up as d o t a t d o t a t . a t. arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrg!
maybe I have missed something, but can I just ask what exactly this has to do with the story?

I summon you oh mighty opteron, to tell me, the answer!

Yet another reason not to visit the united states, don't give them any information and hopefully they will not have enough to be able to find you.
tinfoil hats all round!

Well if everyone follows the precident and does this, then those reserves are going to dissappear quite quickly
no no no, because this is the "good ol' usa" it must be freedom fighting and therefore right
Yes, the Linux community has done some spectacular stuff - but it just doesn't hold a candle to what the retail world has done in the same time.
hmm, not quite true, Linux started in 1991 and microsoft started in 1984 (at least that is when their copyrights date from)
shouldn't this be banned under the international whaleing treaty?
