He's just saving up karma so that he can withstand moderation for 3 sec's longer when he posts some GNAA stuff in the next story. Let him waste his time.
Let the people voting see a checksum of all the voting data from their location and the number of votes cast so far on a big screen, on the web etc. Update it every minute or so. Make it public. Then, when it's time for making sure, use that (public) checksum. If there's something wrong, you can trace it back, minute by minute.
I suspect there might be some fundamental flaw in this though, but I can't seem to find it...
Make a demo, I was put off by having to register, and I suspect I'm not alone. You're supposed to make us want to sign up by showing us how great your site is, but all we see now is some content-free site. Allow some of your conten to spill into a demo, and if it's so great, you'll see people registering.
Space is space, it's not a government industry. No one owns it. Until someone makes landlclaims, that is. This would of course be seen as a hostile act by everyone else. Do whatever you want with it, but please do it a few parsecs away. I for one can't wait until we can go out there, where there are no semi-corrupt governments to deal with (yet). I'd just love to take off and explore the galaxy on a ship like the Heart of Gold or something...:) Seriously. It would be so much more fun than going to work.
You mean for those of us that don't speak english, right? Think retroactive or something. There's ålenty of words using retro. Figure it out from the context. It's not that hard.
What
kind of Swedish Chef impersonation would it be if he went around
correcting the flaws the original had? Then, you're just impersonating
some random actual Swedish guy, and that's no fun. That's like
correcting grammar mistakes in movie quotes. It's not the same thing if
you 'fix' it. Therefore, it logically follows that if the Swedish Chef
had some errors as part of his character (and yes, he had a ton of
them...that's part of what made him funny) then anyone wishing to
imitate him would neccessarily imitate them as well. As an aside,
Huuurdy vuuurdy hooooo.
Hint: I was trolling. But thank you for explaining the Swedish Chef to me, there's nothing like explaining a joke to kill it.
If Red Hat installs too much, what distro would be perfect for a server out of the box? (Please don't say Gentoo, there's a certain balance between bloated and a black, empty void.)
You haven't looked up how much bandwidth voip uses, have you? For example, ventrilo, one popular voip app, uses about 6k/sec when talking, but ~0 when there's no talk. Acheived courtesy of the GSM codec. Or 0 when it's not connected. You don't sit on the phone 24/7 do you? If so, I'd suspect that you are allready paying quite a lot.

I don't give a crap what you do really.
The parent is a known troll saving up karma for posting gnaa shit in some story to come.
...something like that happen to my house (while I'm at work, please)? I want a meteorite. Would be so cool to have.

I believe he was trying to get more people than you to do it.

Checksum.

They'll probably be stopping bearded unix-looking types in the door. Like, sysadmins, only over the average age of an MCSE (30).

I've written a simple perl script for you to interface with. It will respond to your posts with random quotes and keep you entertained.

No, make them watch someone else play Daikatana.

Yup, no problem, here's another one.

What is this sense of humor that you speak of?

It's not about replicating Swedish, you bafoon. It's the Swedish Chef from dialectizer... You know, as in the FUCKING MUPPET, which did say 'und'?
Yes, I know. He was wrong too.
Boot Kuckooms und zee Svedeesh
Germans say 'und' for and, whereas swedes say och, and would have no reason to use that word. You fail!
