Since printers are flaky, why print the ballot on demand (with the voter's X)? Why not have the ballots already printed and let the voter draw an X. Like most for the world does.
Sure, feel the finished ballot into a counting machine.
They don't need spell checking they simply need to add in the version of their site where the spelling in "incorrect" in the complementary ways which result in conventually correct English.
How about some way to lock the phone (so if you loose it somebody else can't use it) but without having to enter a password somehow? eg press two keys simultanously to unlock.
I read recently in Linux Journal that the phone part is done as a modem and software sends those old AT commands to dial, etc. eg:
Its funny that yesterday the Dept of Homeland Security (I can't say that name without laughing) was so concerned about patching Windows but -er- there was a plot to blow up ten planes. Misplaced priorities?
If I recall correctly, those top developers didn't just happen to go to Microsoft. Actually the evil empire paid extra for them to come over to the dark side to hurt Borland. Of course, as usual, Microsoft couldn't handle the idea of real competition.
And to make things worse now people like you remember it as bad management on the part of Borland (and in a similar case Netscape) that was the cause of their demise. When it was, in fact, the evilness of the evil empire.

Its really tacky of the employeer. Did they ask: "I see here you like heavy metal music, are you in league with the devil?". I mean, jeeze, its mostly private time stuff.
From a future Wikipedia:.EXE's are binary executables from an operating system called DOS (later rebranded as Windows) that was amazingly once the dominate operating system on the Earth in the late twentieth century. Approximately 83.5% of EXE's were partly or entirely viruses. Hard as it is to believe now-a-days people actually paid for this bug-ridden, insecure OS. Indeed at the time one of the founders of the company that produced Microsoft became the richest man in the world. This was a at time when money was more important than it is now -- health care wasn't yet universal and software was not all free.
It was supposed to be an annual even but kinda stopped after Sept 11, 2001 (I wonder why). Even the cypherpunks lots their nerve then. But it happen at least one year before that. Maybe more. Lots of people included the keywords of the time at the bottom of their mails that day.

Gas companies could lay fibre when they lay pipes. That actually seems practical to me.
You can publicize that you don't keep logs.

How do you get 95% out of 15.
14 right of 15 is 93.3333 percent.
So they did better than 14 but less than perfect - humm.
Of course, the Google people do lots of research. Does mean its gonna get
rolled out... if its even a research project.
Naah, its easier and cheaper to invade Iraq.

Cool.
How about those TSA approved luggage locks?n &lr=&sa=X&oi=froogle&ct=title
These locks have a combo that you know and a special key that the TSA has
that can open it too -- "for security".

There must have been some issues.

Once a barcode is read you just get the product code. What good is that?
You need then to lookup that code up in a database for real info.
Any software problem can be solved by adding another layer of indirection.

It uses all the right buzz words but didn't seem so great when I tried it.
I wonder if the astronauts can taste or smell it to see what it is.

When I was a student I didn't have a laptop. Computer Science doesn't need computers!
Brendan, why not get a job with Microsoft -- that'll pay off your loans.

Did it have any effect? The NSA isn't telling.
Maybe we should revive it!
I'd partake.
