They aren't trying to automate the entire election. My guess is that this is a sort of closed beta. And the small size of voters makes it easy to guarantee that there's minimal, if any, fraud.
With it you can prove that there are a vast number of civilisations or none just as easily
Precisely. This way Dr. Frank Drake doesn't look like an imbecile when we discover there's no ET lifeforms in the Milky Way. Or looks like a genius when we do!
Here I was thinking that it didn't have to be *specifically* that, only that it needed to be close enough (eg, that rolling over an icon would make it and the surrounding icons bigger, but implemented it differently)
Um, pretty obvious that you really have no idea what you're talking about. jQuery was not created by Microsoft. Nor was it even funded by Microsoft to begin with (and probably won't be in the future). jQuery is already opensource (seeing as how it's openly available from the jQuery site).
Secondly, I see you must be operating under the delusion that "bigger is better" - jQuery has a MUCH smaller footprint than Prototype (and, therefore, Scriptaculous. I haven't worked with either Scriptaculous or Prototype, but just from my brief glance-over, jQuery does both of their jobs.
Personally, even though you have the layering option w/ Prototype/Scriptaculous, I'd rather just have both and still have a smaller footprint.
Hint: if you find a quick way to factor semiprimes, don't snag $1 million from the Clay Institute. Reap $1 billion from credit cards. If you can easily toss aside ethics.
Now when you walk by a different reader, doubleclick knows who you are.
Oh no. You mean there will be targeted ads for stuff we might buy? The world will turn into a real life Amazon.com or Netflix, "Hello, Bob. You bought lingerie, hand cuffs and black duct tape last time. Similar buyers also bought whips."
Or the Wii anything? Seriously, Nintendo might have sold the console for cheaper, but they are harvesting quite a fright w/ peripherals. Wii Wheel, Wii Perfect Shot, Wii Classic Controller, Sports Pack, Zapper, etc. etc.
Hell, they'll probably come out with the Wii Inflatable doll... "And you stick your Wiimote in here..."

for men at least, pluripotent cells have been found in the testicles
Shit. What a decision.
"We can save you life. But, in order to do so, we have to cut open your scrotum and remove a few cells."
"How many is 'a few'?"
"Look, let's not make this about what we're taking from you. Think about what we're giving you: another chance at life!"

I'm sure I'm not the best Paladin ever
Paladins are also hard to play single player. Much more of a support type character than, say, the Barbarian, who is pretty much geared for war.
I'm sad to see this, really. I have fond memories of The Bard's Tale (the original one, mind you) and Skate or Die!, both of which were EA games.
Walk a park
I think the majority people would find this difficult to do. Most parks are rather stationary.

But if you can't control your laughter when in court for your third DUI, you have a problem.
Or, worse yet, think "watch out the damn cops pull you over for anything they want.. but f*ck them i passed all the tests with all my drinks!! haha."
Because some people think it's their right to drink and drive. Otherwise you'd be ruining their fun.

Why not do both?
Why in the world would you have the control system for the LHC on the internets?
3 byes. There's a space. :P
Buy a few now. Sell them when the rush happens ^_^

Depends on which college. If it's UCSD (where I went for 3 years before dropping out), 50k would get you 2 years.
Approximate tution, fees, miscellaneous expenses
Hell, what if her hubby started calling her "Governor" and the "Gov" was a reference to that, eh?
Just because my username is "omnipresentbob," it doesn't mean I'm omnipresent, let alone Bob.

So, if that's true, then, what... 80 out of 4 statistics are made up on the spot... Holy crap, I didn't even know that was possible. Dang.

Particularly with new hardware...
