Okay. Please don't even joke about that. There was a really extreme campaign in Florida where Republicans discouraged blacks, Hispanics, and other traditionally Democratic voters from going to the polls by saying things like, "If you have any outstanding traffic tickets, pay them before voting," and, "bring proof of citizenship," (and this discouraged people who WERE legitimately citizens, because they didn't really understand and they were afraid of losing what they had worked so hard to gain), and, of course, "election day changed to Wedsnesday."
Many people think that this was a big part of why the Democrats lost Florida. It's not funny, regardless of which side loses.

Not funny, not appropriate.

Not true! He's not a Muslim! Learn to read and research instead of spouting off what you heard Rush Limbaugh spewing on the radio.
And even if he was, why would that be a problem? Muslims are not the enemy. It's unthinking people like yourselves who pose the greatest threat to the United States(whether they be Al-Qaeda or American citizens).
Sorry about the OT post.
Because that's not the issue. You'll always have uncertainty in systems.
The study argues that the public perceives these systems as infallible, and therefore believe that technology can provide a final, absolute arbitration.
The study is commenting on this tendency in lay people (i.e., people without specialized knowledge of the system), and warns against the corollaries that stem from such assumptions.
Also, the title is bad: they are merely looking at the issue through the lens of Hawk-Eye, they're not looking at Hawk-Eye specifically. You may note that there is no analysis of the hawk eye system beyond a basic discussion of its function.
"There are, however, the expected side effects from a drug that suppresses the immune system: impaired wound healing, infections, mouth sores and, in rare instances, skin cancer."
(and every cowboy sings a sad sad song.)
I'm sorry to interject, but... HE'S BEING FUNNY. Say "WALLAH!" in a really loud, comic accent, and you'll see what I mean.
What was the policy... Assume good faith?
If it's for one event, it strikes me that they could have a unique ID number for each ticket, and then just cross-reference that number with an external database. Methinks that'd take care of a lot of problems.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't they making a huge pile of cash off of XBox Live? I thought the idea was to sell the console below cost, and make money off of games and services. So whether or not the hardware is making money isn't really news?
Gates could save a lot of hassle by scraping his Windows model and rebuilding from the ground up, in my opinion, because XP/Vista are so riddle with problems that anything based on them will be typically buggy.
My high school had an annual budget $17 million, and they don't offer tech classes either. I asked why, and the explanation was as follows:
It was a college prep school, and colleges prefer that students DO NOT take compsci classes because often times the information can be out dated.
I took matters into my own hands. You get alot more out of learning by doing, and you often learn faster, and with greater depth and more knowledge of what is important.
How do you learn Linux? Install it on your main computer and use it.
How do you learn XYZ programming language? Come up with a project and do it (this leads to more projects, which leads to more understanding, which leads to more projects, etc.)
Any question of the above sort? Do it.
... Well... I guess it would be stupid to come onto the plan and put out a jamming signal on all frequencies?
How stupid are these designers... Why not print "Fly me into tall builidings" on the plane. Someone could hi-jack it and not even be on the plan. (Leave a laptop under the seat turned on with scripts set up?)

Err, no mention of Jon Coulton? I can't think of a better example.
'... and even then, it will only be available in an exclusive "duel mode."' Err, isn't that a bad thing?

I am guessing he cribbed the idea from the likes of http://last.fm/ , a music site which has a similar system. (Editorialization: Except better)
So... When is the Vista emulator coming out?

... April Fool's? Of course, I happen to love a good pony steak every once in a while, especially with A1...
I guess this means a game that focuses on killing kittens would be OK?
