Do you really think a substantial fraction of the voters care about program, politics or the past?

Hillary is a good choice if want to vote for someone whose name starts with an H because the "H" brings you good luck.

Remember that your vote counts just as much as the vote of the average youtube/facebook/twitter comment writer.

If I find a murdered body while jogging, I am probably going to be one of the initial suspects. I will be questioned by officers, and possibly even called back to the precinct if they have further questions. This would absolutely inconvenience me, but I would be a real jackass if I put up a stink about it. Someone was just murdered, which would be a much bigger problem than me losing a couple afternoons.

And it is of the outmost importance that you keep the freedom to make that choice.

What about guanine and adenine?

"the three basic components of life" is misleading, more like "three of the basic components of life"

The chief component is cytosine... cytosine and guanine. ...Our two chief components are cytosine and guanine...and adenine.... Our three components are cytosine, adenine and cuanine...and thymine.... Our four...no... amongst our components.... amongst our components...are such elements as cytosine, guanine.... I'll come in again.

The fact that one side moves forward doesn't, by itself, give that side an advantage

It certainly does when one side holds the power of coercive authority. You can't actually win against coercive authority. You can try to circumvent it, but you can never defeat it, because the advantage of coercion is absolute.

Which, as we all know, is the reason to be living in an Absolute Monarchy.

Neither should you let them know your middle name.

Unless it's "Danger".
If it's "Danger" let them know it, as it instill fear in their hearts.

Or "Wolf". Let them know it's "Wolf" too.

Or a color. Any color instills fear too.

Except "Pink". Don't let them know your middle name is "Pink" or you'll die on your first day in prison.

Name + extension is not enough. Files should have a name, a type, and a subtype.

The types shouldn't be optional, but restricted to a list common to all OSs.
The subtype could be the "write whatever you want, and put as many exes as possible because exes are like painting things red so they go faster" crap that extensions are right now.
