Why can't the US do what we do in Canada? You don't have to make this complicated.
In Canada, we show up to our polling station with our voter card, show the card and receive a ballot. We take the ballot, which has the names of the candidates and their party in large font very clearly, and put an X in the big circle beside the candidate we're voting for.
Thats it! No fancy machines, no complicated forms, and no computers to go wrong or be hacked.
Do you know if there is a way to make it so you don't have to press F1 for the system to boot with a keyboard plugged in? (it doesn't require it when there isn't one but I need it).
I have an Acer laptop with an SiS chipset (I want to cry) and it supports dual display, but it will only do a mirror.
You can use the S-video to do a dual monitor setup though.

That was so impossible to read, I didn't even bother.
Pilot's just use aircraft headsets with a plug that can plug into a cell phone.
There's no magic too it, they're just big foamy headphones with a microphone and cost way too much.
Yes but he will STILL sell you the part.

Packet sniff to find out it's IP, exploit it, then have it eject the cd-rom... then just go look for a computer on a rack with a cd drive open.
In alphabetical order?
No, I'm Sparticus!
2.0 has that!
I have to agree, this is the best choice.
If you have the dvd package, it doesn't get any simplier either.
Bet that works great to keep the heat out of the house too...
Maybe they could use that as a reason to keep it?
I have a Prioris MX myself, (dual 200's).

Don't forget all this passport stuff for 2008.
Nothing for me to see here?
Once again a nice discription of Microsoft :).
Yet another reason for me to stay here in Canada.
Nothing better then a country that doesn't treat every citizen like a criminal.
"There is a lesson here, and I hope somebody at the **IA sees it soon."
I'd rather they didn't and it burned them real good.
"if you're really unlucky, you might randomly have gotten code that reformats your harddrive."
That just happens to fit neatly in the code and run without errors? I don't think so.
"Microsoft closed a lot of holes in the backend that people used instead of actually coding it to standards"
Yes, because Microsoft is all up on using/complying to standards!
All these people keep mention that thing's "may be different in India"... WHO SAID THIS GUY WAS IN INDIA?
I saw it once, as a joke...
So be it, young Jedi!
ME!
Anyways, I usually keep a pile of dead hardware just to take my frustration out on... usually smashing it or lighting it on fire.
Could head for Cuba, no Americans!

That's most of the world, and that is why we have the problem of companies pretty much doing whatever they want without people standing up to them.
