Perhaps you are not "getting it", no disrespect intended. TechTV appealed to an audience beyond gaming. There's nothing wrong with gaming and I'm sure G4 is a great station for gaming programs, but I'll never watch them because I only see them as the station that crushed TechTV and fired all the really knowledgeable people that made great tech programs.
Ion engines become more efficient the longer the distance travelled. The short hop to the moon may take longer with a 'slow' ion engine, but going to, say, Alpha-Centauri would allow enough time for that same little ion engine to appraoch a signifigant percentage of c. It would take more chemical fuel than the earth could provide to approach that (assuming you had to carry all that fuel with you).
As I've heard it, the energy of a cosmic ray (in sattelites in space... dunno about muons) can be enough to change the voltage in a small enough transistor to alter a gate outcome. I think this was discovered in satellites around the introduction of the Pentium I when transistors were getting ever smaller. This is why all new computers in space have to be "hardened".
As a "youth", I was well aware of what was going on and CHOSE not to waste my time. My state, California, was one of the first to be projected Democrat, the lesser of two evils. I could have gotten time off or ditched a class to vote Badnarik (again an informed choice because the state was wrapped up for Kerry, nothing more I could do to oppose Bush), but quite frankly, he's batshit insane too. Dissolve the Federal Reserve? http://badnarik.org/whybadnarik/why_reformparty.ph p
Is there an open source voting software alternative to Diebold? A quick search at sourceforge doesn't show anything of national election quality. Is there an open source project for real voting? I'm still a student, but would donate time towards simpler coding tasks for such a project. Hell, these machines are owned by the gov't now, so they can install whatever software they like, right? I have read (prob'ly also at blackbox) that the Diebold crap runs WinXP and keeps records in Access!!!! Can't be that hard to beat. I mean, it only has to do ONE THING. This could be designed from the ground up with fair confidence of zero weaknesses, except for physical, which is where ya bring in an EE! We the people could do this!!!
TFA said this "...fell from favour because of a perceived link to electroconvulsive therapy". Did electro-shocking mentally disturbed people create the insane geniuses of comic book fame? Does the electric chair make prisoners enlightened just before it cooks them? Are there any other great things I can do to myself to get any other cool superpowers?
Well, from the poster in his book. The poster portrays Bush and Kerry as a boxing match. A banner reads, "Every citizen guaranteed a vote.*"
The footnote reads "* Vote not guaranteed to count."
Never buy several drives from the same place at the same time. While this may be impractical for big business purchases, the individual user can look at the serial numbers and ask if the store has any drives from another production run. If not, check the store across town.
I think you are correct in assuming a different neural net in your brain handles signifigantly different languages. A recent article from the BBC showed that Chinese and English speakers had problems in different portions of the brain due to dyslexia. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/3618060.stm
As screwed up as this interface may be, I think the stories about the GEMS county level counting machines are much scarier. The county offices will all have no problem altering totals. It's so easy, I expect most election supervisors will cheat. I just wonder if there are more Democrat or Republican election supervisors across the country.

Could this be just a bandwidth exceeded problem, or did akshor get pulled by their ISP over this.

That letter is so cool I almost peed my pants! My eyes are watering I'm laughing so hard.

Seriously, I'll have my CS degree soon and would like to git while the gittin's good. What is the best way to approach emmigration to Canada?
I for one, welcome our new PATRIOT Act overlords... Ummm, wait, never mind.

Will they get special moon badges?
