The App Store has FMTouch (a third-party FileMaker client), Bent (FM lite), HanDBase (the classic palmtop database), and some others. Not sure if any of those meet your needs.
The electors don't go to Washington to cast their votes (except those chosen by DC)--here in Tennessee, for example, they met in Nashville to hold the voting ceremony. And even Sarah Palin can't be in 51 places at once...
OK, here's an idea. I imagine you've all seen copiers with multiple output "slots," right? OK, attach that to an optical-scan reader. As the ballots feed in, the machine puts (say) the Obama ballots in slot 1, McCain in 2, Baldwin in 3, Barr in 4, etc. Once it's gone through the stack, you apply a hand-count of each pile to do two things: (alpha) verify the actual quantity (the machine would keep its own tally, and while the hand-count should be primary, more than a certain discrepancy from the machine count would trigger a double-check), and (beta) make sure the ballots in each pile really are marked for the candidate whose pile they're in. Repeat for each race/proposition on the ballot. (Vote-for-more-than-one races are trickier, because of the exponential number of combinations; one pass per candidate might be needed).
The biggest concern there would be that the machine itself was "disappearing" or mangling ballots. Transparency in that respect would be achieved by literal transparency of the sorting machine.
Actually, the level of oxygen on a plane is lower (in partial-pressure terms) than in normal air--perhaps even a bit lower as a percentage, as oxygen-depleted exhalations are partly recirculated.
And aluminum in solid form is not flammable--a blowtorch would melt it, not burn it. (Powdered aluminum, on the other hand, is explosive.) This Material Safety Data Sheet has the scoop.
The real hazard would be in reacting it with acid, releasing free hydrogen--but you can do that just as well with the Coke cans.
1. Zero.
2. Only a specialized part (national anthems) that are very hard to find in physical forms.
3. One (the September 11th mix of Silent Night).
4. Virtually all.
5. Two national anthems.
the violation would be committed even if they did charge the same price, because the relevant law requires that (for example) a Brit be allowed to buy a song from the French store that might not be available on the UK store. So there's a good argument here that the split-country copyright agreements are themselves what is illegal here (which would likely shut down all legal downloading in the EU until things can be fixt).

Good to see the horse's mouth checking in. Your next assignment is to post a link to whatever official explanation is available.

The next planet is supposed to be out at 77 AU. I vote this is a non-planet.
I always thought it was the AWFL (abbreviation with four letters).

Our local NAACP does something like this once a year for similar reasons--they call it "Black Dollar Day."
