    WHY!?!?!

    This of course completely contradicts the experience of the guy who discovered LSD's hallucinogenic properties, who thought Einstein was chasing him around his house with a knife. Of course, he took 250 micrograms, which is ten times the threshold dose, probably not a "low dose" (although it is still a pretty damn small amount)

    If by "capable of erasing themselves to NSA, DoD and other government standards" you mean that they come with a block of thermite pre-attached to the storage medium ready to be activated with the flip of a switch, then yes.

    Otherwise, no.

    It's amusing that you don't know how wrong you are.

    One of the very first uses of visual representations of data was by Florence Nightingale to Queen Victoria, a chart showing the relative causes of British military deaths in the Crimean war. The whole reason for the chart being that yes, Nightingale thought Queen Victoria's eyes would glaze over at a table of numbers and she wouldn't be able to comprehend it.

    Graphs of functions may have been created for mathematicians. Charts of data were invented for people whose brains ran out their ears at the sight of numbers.

    Great, you just had to tempt the one moron who was going to try and prove you wrong and do it in flight. Now they are going to have to add a warning sticker that says: "Do not attempt to exit the vehicle and turn the 'Transform Back to Car' handle during flight" after he comes plummeting out of the sky. The upshot of course is that it will make for a better thn usual episode of CSI: the pilot landed one mile away from the crash site. INVESTIGATE!

    Your response is akin to replying that squares are rectangles after I said rectangles are not squares.

    2nd worst can be best, if there are two. My point, which the vast majority of people are too dense to wrap their miniscule minds around was that there were not two options. THere were over 100 millions optinos (every natural born citizen over the age of 35 being eligible for being written in). Even if you restrict it to names just on the ballot, still more than two.

    Are elections boxing matches? No. Are elections horse races? No.

    There were not only two names on the ballot. And that's ignoring your right to write in whoever you damn well please. So your analogy is more false than my prostate.

    You deserve to be modded vigorously upwards for being clever enough to spot the subtle distinction. Sadly, most slashdotters will not be so clever and misunderstand you. I've got karma to burn anyway, so here's to you!

    Those who commit murder deserve punishment, regardless of whether they are proven guilty. The innocent deserve to be acquitted because they are not guilty, regardless of whether they have been proven guilty.

    Whether a person deserves punishment is not a function of what 12 people on a jury think. Whether the government should inflict punishment is.
