    Let take a look at some airliner sequences. Just when you think they're being consistent, they zing you.

  2. Re:Canada on ACM Eyes Policy Position on Electronic Voting · · Score: 2, Informative

    I voted too, but you know what? It worked. And there was a paper trail for the half-dozen or so recounts that have been called for. It was close but we were able to get things sorted out without getting the Supreme Court involved. My only problem is that they gave me a pencil to mark my ballot which might explain why my guy didn't get in :( Why fix what isn't broken? You can probably tell where my ACM vote is going!

    Great now they have a tool to measure progress in Congress.

  4. Bad Name on EIOffice 2004 vs. MS Office 2003 · · Score: 5, Funny

    In Canada EI stands for Employment Insurance, something you collect when you lost your job, affectionately known as "The Pogy." So looking at EIOffice, does it mean that your employment in an office is ensured, or is it the Pogy Office where you pick up your cheque?

  5. Faulty Logic on The Economics of Executing Virus Writers · · Score: 1

    The author starts off with the misconception that Capital Punishment reduces murders. If that is the case then Canada and the UK should be awash with bodies from all the unrestrained psychopaths. Why is it then that the US, with its death penalty in many states, still can't get a grip on its murder rate?
