I would prefer "Diebold Fighter 2" in which unsuspecting politicians press Down + tap A+B+C on the machine, and shock the hell out of themselves.
On a professional note, I do agree on your comment. If they had been competing in the private sector they'd have been blown out of the water by now. That's not to say that I prefer Motorola, Nokia, and Samsung to set up cell-voting systems... that'd be as lame as American Idol.
This happens everywhere across the whole world! Things are NEVER done on schedule, but somehow we expect government bureaucracy to be faster? Who are these people? Project Managers? Unlikely...
If I say I'll get the report to you next week, you actually won't get it until 2 or 3 weeks, that's how things work.
Besides, he only wants the report for scandal and sensationalism. Move along.
While I disagree with blckbllr's argument, I have to say that it is a prior art issue. The logic you mentioned in your post is much more simpler and basic than the average person may perceive.
If the first checkbox is set, you enter the "clear" mode. If it's cleared, you enter the "set" mode.

Although he won't publicly admit it, I'm sure that Officer Arroyo knows he made a mistake. For the record, I do not believe that Officer Arroyo is a bad person, and other than my arrest I have no reason to believe that he is a bad police officer. I think that Officer Arroyo was embarrassed and insulted when I refused to obey his unlawful command, and I think that he was not familiar enough with Ohio State law.
While normally I'll argue that unless an officer is a former lawyer, it is damn near impossible for an officer to know the application of every law. I do fault Officer Arroyo for not knowing the 'stop and identify' procedure, which is almost as common knowledge as the miranda text. I will stick with Michael's judgement on this, and not call Officer Arroyo a dick... I will although request he retake his basic training. -- X's and O's for all my foes.

I mean, who wouldn't want cars to become twice as gas efficient (without losing power) every 18 months, ad infinitum? If such a thing were technically possible, it would happen, because all the car makers would jump on the gas-mileage bandwagon to get ahead of their competitors.
