If a format for voting has been used for years, with little inaccuracy or error, such as paper ballots, then surely they could just not adopt the new method of computerised voting?
A little tradition can sometimes be a good thing, especially if it works.
What's next, the papal elections are done through MSN messenger, no need to go to Vatican City anymore.
(I suppose that was a bad example as Chrisitian traditions are often more about being luddites than keeping with proven methods, but you get the idea.)
But then again if you go travelling and end up in a foreign country where the mineral content of water is sufficiently different, then you'll end up with the squits and the Bidet seems like a much nicer invention all of a sudden.
There's more things coming out as well. The Japanese have been working on toilets which analyse your urine content and warn you of any possible health issues, but this does seem to be taking a while to hit the market.
Elsewhere someone came up with the idea of a Urinal that detects whether you've been drinking alcohol and then "recommends" that you don't go driving.
This could prove VERY useful to me the-morning-after-the-previous-2-day-binge.
There's no release date for where I am, the UK, and I suspect it'll be the same for most countries not called USA or China. We always have the same thing happen with gadgets, get 'em while they're old.
Yet another link to a preview as well.
I understand the irony of me replying with this, but shouldn't we just ignore this/. article?
I know it's a slow news day, but come on, what's next? A post as soon as the time reaches 13:37?
A friend and I were arguing about this, I was stating that despite all the evidence to the contrary, it was still possible that black holes don't exist and that you can't trust everything that scientists say is true.

This could mean we'll all get to have mobile phones that we can barely even see the screen on, because they're so small. Fuck sidekicks, nanobutton phones where it's at.
"News just in, Apple have reported that their products discolour when exposed to sperm. Since the news release every one of the complaints have been mysteriously dropped."
Garland says the RIAA has made some inroads. "They have removed the profiteers from online piracy," he says. "They've also embarked on a very successful education campaign. Kids now know about copyright, and the consequences."
The RIAA are now going to teach those same kids how to avoid volcano eruptions, using their flawless "Duck and Cover" campaign.
I still play "Sonic the Hedgehog", although I'm slightly dismayed that I can no longer complete "Green Hill Zone Act 1" in 26 seconds.
Curse my 26 year old athritic-like thumbs.

Why not use one of these Blu Ray Drives. Only £530 for the drive and £25 for a blank disk.
It's the way of the future

Binary?
It's not as sharp as the rapier wit you see on here everyday. Ba-boom Tish.

that this will only result in further delays, until MS have the product "satisfactory". Almost makes the $9 billion investment seem like a joke.
You can use Media Portal if you're on XP, or Knoppmyth if you want a completely different OS.
I've just heard that all 3 Operating Systems support reading CDRoms? Is this true, can anyone confirm this revelation?

It's a shame it needs 1.21 Gigawatts of power to charge it.

The Judge could've been feeling particularly spiteful and forced them to "Roshambo" for it.
