Right. Another way to think of it: a certain percentage of the population is blindfolded and pushes random buttons in the voting booth. Assuming they choose the buttons in a uniform way (e.g. don't tend to push the buttons all near the middle) they will have no affect.
But there could be other mathematical models of "uninfomed".
Well, I think Bajcsy and Sastry at EECS Berkeley had done something like this, but I don't know if that is the same gadget as this to tell you the truth.
Oh I'm not interested in dating an orc. Just a fantasy of being kidnapped by a band of them, like Merry and Pippin, and being a sex slave of the all seeing eye...
Well being a feminist doesn't mean you don't like sex, or that you have to be a prude. Just the opposite in fact. And being a mom doesn't mean your sex life is over. I am only 28 after all.
Actually he said something like "Will Big Blue dominate the entire computer industry... the entire information age, was George Orwell right about 1984?"
"...a robot so simple a grandmother could use it".
This is offensive to me. I am a 48 yo grandmother, and also a C programmer since 1983. You would never hear someone refer to a grandfather in this way.
No they don't resent it, because they all know that they could do the same. And everyone respects everyone else's need. And it isn't favoritism since it applies to anyone in the company.
I work at a company started by a close bunch of college friends. We basically just did exactly what you say not to do, because we all wanted to do something together. It's worked out really well because we all know each other so well. For one thing I was given 6 months of paid leave off when I had my daughter.
I heard that too on a CAGD newsgroup, but I think it is still in negotiation. Gallier's work is interesting though - here is his webpage , which has all of his articles.
My Dad worked at the FBI in the 1960's and then they also experimented with the Gel stuff that is used by car mechanics to get grease off of their hands. It's pretty common but I forget the name - smells like kerosene.

Is there going to be a "First palindrome" trend on Slashdot now ?
Doc, note I dissent. A fast never prevents a fatness. I diet on cod.
To sell what product exactly ? In any case, I think it is so popular just because the woman in it is attractive in an off beat kind of way.
It is more than that. English is ambigous to begin with. The following sentence has at least 3 interpretations:
"Flying airplanes can be dangerous".
or
"The horse that raced past the barn fell."
I think the funniest example of this is the whitehouse.com website.
You send some friend (at work, if you want to be a jerk) an email that says
Did you hear ? The President just announced that we are pulling out of Iraq!! See the announcement.
Actually, it's not a bad porn site.

I've always wondered what it would be like to sleep with an orc.
What is on your mind ?
Original, fun games have nothing to do with technology. It just requires creative people to make them. Snood and Tetris are classic examples.

Is the "liberal" community of Cape Cod opposing windmills offshore since it would ruin the wonderful view.
Some of us enjoy having things forced down our throats. :)

I think it was kinda linked to the commercial.
From the article:

I recall it too. It had some silly name like Trackall or something, but I guess back then AOL and others were just doing it themselves and selling it.
Oops yes I know, I just mispoke. Neural glitch. Thanks for pointing that out.
I've been thinking of getting it. What kind of phones can you use ? You generally find it reliable ? What do you pay ?
Does anyone have any idea how much Diebold is worth ?
My thoughts exactly. It's like brining laptops to the third world when what they need is doctors and medicine.
True, Diebold hasn't made itself popular over the last few years. But I don't think this is an intrinsic issue for online voting companies.
