Any attempt at making voting more accessible should not make the election process easier to tamper with.

For example, have a machine print a voted ballot, and the human-readable parts of that ballot are what are counted.

Imagine a virus that manipulated databases, but only took effect on election day. That would certainly effect systems where the votes are only stored as digital data.

You can't use just the 5-digit zip code, the full Zip+4 has to be used. For example, the Oklahoma tax calculator needs the Zip+4. http://oktax.csa.ou.edu/Rate_Locator/index.jsf

For example, the zip code I live in, 80234, covers more than one county (Adams, and Broomfield), and about 7 different cities.

I always liked the New Earth Calendar: 13 identical months that start on the same day of week, Monday, and have the same number of days, and are all 4 weeks long. (With a leap week to keep days and dates synchronized)

The calendar in this article still has months that vary, start on different days, and really isn't significantly better than what we have now.

No, I don't think that this limitation is about that, but more about an app app that has multiple launchers.

You can register an "intent" as a , which is an activity that is started from the Android launcher. And it seems more reasonable to have a restriction of only one of these.

So, no "Game" and "Settings" icons in the launcher.

I have had extremely good luck with UPS, but most peoples complaints are that the delivery driver doesn't even attempt to ring the doorbell, and drives off.

He did say weight, not mass, so maybe he is on the moon?

Charge the police officer with Wiretapping for intercepting communications between the man and his cell phone.

Only if the voice input was limited enough, like text input, which we have had for 10+ years, really. I can remember running a Speech to Text program on my 486 that would try to read what I was saying and turn that into a text document.

Google Voice does the same thing for voice mail.

Both suffer from a huge problem: accuracy. A conversation with a human doesn't need every word to be perfectly accurate, but something more than a text message is going to fail if some part of the vocal command is incorrect.

"Did you mean 'Delete *.txt' or 'Delete startdottxt' or 'Delete start.txt'?"

So Arizona, Hawaii or any of the states in Pacific time aren't states?

Arizona actually uses 2 time zones: the Indian Reservation in the northeast corner uses DST while the rest of the state doesn't, so some of the year it is one time zone, and then it isn't. Other states are split, so it is definitely not true that every state only has one time zone.

their manufacturers don't tend to advertise their capabilities as "may be wrong"

All of the Garmin Nuvi GPS units I have had have a warning screen that shows every single time that it is turned on saying this.

This probably is more a feature of people liking to be getting orders, even when those orders are wrong.

Not to say that I am immune. I have found my self going down roads where if my GPS quit I would only have a vague idea of how to get home from that location.

This.
That they even KNEW my password was bad enough, but to express that every single week was just insane. (They should only know a salty-hashed version of my password, and never be able to recover it under any circumstances)

It is like these people never took security 101!

Or the time I was trying to flip a \ding{51} in LaTeX. That was an interesting search.

(LaTeX is the most interesting language to search for, which is why I use the book so much at work)

What you should do is have a background worker thread, with the user making requests that the background processes, so that the interface and the heavy report creation is done in different threads/processes. Then send the user immedately to a page where they can check the status, and download the result when it is done. Since you are talking more than a minute, a browser waiting isn't a good way to do this.

(Basically, this would be like BeOS worked, with the interface in a separate thread from the application itself.)

This is a work-related system, so possibly they have a signed contract between the employee and the police, which would be dealt with in the same way in the US.

Contracts that aren't signed are one thing, but if both parties have signed it, then it is a "Breach of contract", and definitely a crime in the US.

You don't own a car? That is probably the "most dangerous" class of item that people own.
