I live in Madison, WI, The state capital, and at least here all the ballots are paper. I love Wisconsin, we have the best Senator(Russ Feingold) and my congress woman(Tammy Baldwin) is the only openly gay member of the house.
Wisconsin is also the birthplace of both Bob La Follette, founder of the Progressive party, and Joseph Mccarthy of Mccarthy-ism(talk about contrast). IIRC Milwaukee had a Socialist Mayor from 1914 to 1940 to boot.
And your take on the Anthropological implications? I know I have several thousand dollars down the drain in Anthro classes that are now worth less if this pans out.
Most games I purchase are for pc and are purchased with online multiplayer use in mind. Over half the games I play regularly don't even have a single player mode. I am very adept at long range deagle headshots and humiliating close-up knifings. I'm also quite sure I pwn KC on a regular basis.
I have played my ps2 online, but I ain't giving ms one red cent, my gaming rig has better graphics then the 360, and I'd rather use k+m for fps. I'm as of yet undecided on other "next-gen" consoles, only time will tell if I pony up the dough and get one.
Slashdot mods wouldn't know intresting, insightfull, or entertaining if it bit them in the ass. I agree with your sentiments, but insight is lost on the small-minded clods that make up the majority of slashdot.
Someone read the Andromeda Strain. The chances are greater that I will win powerball every day for the rest of my life than what you have suggested. And I don't even play the lottery.
I had a seagate drive die on me this spring when my landlord flipped the breaker without warning to do some work on the house while I was re-installing linux (yes I learned my lesson about using a ups). The last gig or so of the drive was damaged and unusuable.
If he infact donated 28.8 billion then his net worth before donation was 88.8 billion right? 28.8 billion is not even close to half. The man goes to sleep at night and wakes up MILLIONS richer. 60 billion is enough to give every man woman and child in the U.S. $20,000.00, more then I have ever earned in a year.

Vae Victus Robotics is a high-school FIRST robotics team in Falls Church, Virginia. It's students attend George Mason High School, part of the City of Falls Church school system.
The team, started in 2004, derives it's name (adopted in it's second year) from a mispelling of the latin "Vae Victis". This was not intentional.
When Bill Gates donates eanough money to be considered middle class I will consider changing my opinion. His current donations and charitable work is the equivelent of me dropping a penny in a Salvation Army bell ringers pot.
Yay slashdot, home of the Neanderthals. Seriously, I see more racist, chauvinistic, intolerent, and just plain BS here then I have ever been exposed to anywhere in my entire life. Current problems in Africa were caused by European colonialim. To be fair reperations are in order. I say 50% of the GDP of any European country that had a colony in Africa should go to that former colony for the number of years that colony was held plus an extra 20% intrest per year elapsed. It wont fully make up for the damage done, but it will help. It will also remind all the holier-than-thou Europians of the Atrocities comitted for hundreds of years that put them in the position they now hold, one of which was the spawning of the U.S., the thou which they act holier than.
I've had a pirated cd copy of xpsp2 without activation since right around when it came out. It seems to me piracy is not an issue. After installing it, I decided I hated sp2 and went back to my pirated copy of sp1 without activation. It's not that I like xp; It's only installed as a dual boot on my desktop, the other boxen in my house all run linux, the desktop needs xp for gaming/reason/protools/macromedia, and any games I can run in wine, I do. The games seem to run better in linux due to less overhead. I run devil Linux on an old p3 as my firewall, and don't worry too much about windoze; I can retrieve the data from windoze in the event of catastrophe.
>>I was once defrauded of around $1,500 for a laptop on ebay. Hundreds of other people had bought the same laptop from the same "ebay store" and they retailed at around $3,000. I don't know if I did anything stupid because there were 50 other people that also bought the auctions this store had made.
So was it "hundreds" or was it "50" or was it a troll?
I have worked with both children and MR/DD patients many of which have trouble spelling 4 letter words, or are unable to do so at all. From what I can gather from the above statements you either think they should be put to death, or that they are not people.
Nazi-esque, very Nazi-esque, even grammar or spelling Nazi-esque. Hitler also exterminated the mentally disadvantaged. I believe that makes your posts Hitler-esque also. For shame.
I for one am a proponent of the death penalty for grammar Nazi's.

The Common Criteria (CC) is an international standard (ISO 15408) for computer security. Its purpose is to allow users to specify their security requirements, to allow developers to specify the security attributes of their products, and to allow evaluators to determine if products actually meet their claims.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the National Security Agency (NSA) have established a program under the National Information Assurance Partnership (NIAP) to evaluate IT product conformance to international standards. The program, officially known as the NIAP Common Criteria Evaluation and Validation Scheme for IT Security (CCEVS) is a partnership between the public and private sectors. This program is being implemented to help consumers select commercial off-the-shelf information technology (IT) products that meet their security requirements and to help manufacturers of those products gain acceptance in the global marketplace.... NIAP is in the Information Technology Laboratory at the National Institute of Standards and Technology. NIST is an agency of the U.S. Commerce Department's Technology Administration. NSA is an agency of the U.S. Department of Defense.
So it's really an International standard regulated by [a] U.S. agenc[y][ies].
