I believe that this is still a fresh waste of taxpayer dollars. I believe the Rapiscan backscatter machines will be repurposed and fit into other government buildings, and the TSA will buy more L-3 (mm-radiowave) scanners, which provide a generic screen without the nudity. What are the safety data on the L3 scanners?

Buy a large number of signs (laminated paper, plastic signs, small flags, paddles; may be single color or double faced, or similar). Have the vote taken by holding up the sign.Then have people count the votes in groups and report to a central person OR Take a picture with a digital camera. Load the picture into analysis software (I used to use a photoshop filter that counted the number of distinct dots in a color range in fluorescent microscopy, cant recall the name) and then you will have a definitive count.

I am serious. No Troll. I am just sick of the damn cialias, viagra, whatever the hell they come up with next emails and having to change my email address all the damn time. I figure if M$ does come out with SenderID, even if they are using FUD, I can actually open my inbox without deleting half of it. I have email addresses that I have never used for anything outside of school that get spammed with stock quotes or random crap all the time. With M$ putting some money behind SenderID and getting a few people to join up with them (even if they are only screwed later -- think Zune and Plays for sure) then there will still be a large following. Maybe making SenderID standard with outlook express with vista they can get the standards ball rolling. I can even see the warning now .... the message you are about to read does not have a SenderID, and may possibly be spam. Have them download the latest version of Microsoft Outlook/Euntourage/Linux-STFU so the origin of this message can be verified.
