Why is this modded funny? I think it should be modded Insightful!

I think of myself

What is the point of standing next to someone counting the paper? Can you stand next to all of the people counting the papers, right across the country? Were you standing next to all of the ballot boxes at all times?

The paper voting system is exactly as transparent as electronic voting.

Basically, just because many current implementations of electronic voting are failures, don't blame the concept of electronic voting. As the polulation grows, electronic voting has the potential to make voting more accessible, fair and efficient. Paper voting does not.

You can cheat using either paper voting or electronic voting.

Just because you can cheat in any particular system does not make it undemocratic.

No, he's saying that until Hollywood backed, there were only budget movies. Now that Hollywood IS backing them, the site will now have first run blockbusters.

And what would you say to the person who dies because he/she rammed into the tailgater's car that just suddenly stopped right in front of them?

Tough luck, the tailgater had it coming?

Indeed. It is like Pascal's Wager.

The downside of wearing are:
1) The child receives early training on how to be an electronically emprisoned parolee
2) The child grows up as a prisoner
3) The child grows up without trust
4) The child learns that activities with no pay-off but that costs a lot of energy end effort are good, perpetuating the faulty logic of Pascal's Wager that made a prisoner of people like you.

All true, but the important thing about OSS is really this: The actual possibility for many eyeballs exists.

No assumptions or predictions about the quality of the hypothetical eyeballs need to be entertained.

But when you leave school, you will find that the social stigma of geek vs. non-geek, disappears.

But:
- All cars do not consume fuel at the same mileage ratio
- Fuel efficiency cannot be "promoted". Cars use fuel according to the laws of physics. The average car owner cannot improve the car's fuel efficiency, only the car manufacturer can do that. All cars cannot be replaced because they are not fuel/tax efficient.

Amen, brother.

I can't see why this was modded a Troll.

It isn't even offtopic!

I agree with these statements. Perhaps Americans just don't like alternative opinions.

Of what worth is free speech, if it gets countered by troll modders?

Are their free speech worth more somehow?

There are CFLs specifically for outdoor use. they even work in the rain.

The problem you're experiencing, I suspect, is more due to the light fixtures themselves.

I don't know where you get that from. The law change in New Zealand is important to the country in the sense that the USA refuses to sign a free trade agreement with NZ if they don't have laws to support the DMCA.

Luckily SciFi will never go under, or at least, not because of this.

Rather, SyFy now has a good chance of going under:)
