Unless you have a disability, in which case it is the classic "solution to a problem". GP: "marking a circle with a pen" is impossible for someone who is blind or has dexterity issues. Whether or not e-voting would currently benefit other people is irrelevant; it is needed, and that need is growing.

Why would you go to jail? First off, you're returning government property. It could be argued that doing anything else would get you put in jail. Second, who said to put your name and return address on it?

Or drop it off at the police station or mail it to the FBI. An unmarked box containing electronics that sends out transmissions? They'll get the bomb squad to deal with it. Then it ends up on the news, and people will actually hear about it.

So what happens when they update the imagery or the map (streets do change, you know)? Also, this is clearly not usable for many people with disabilities (requires good eyesight, good coordination, a steady hand, good memory, etc.).

Eye trackers have been tracking fine movements for decades. In the last 5-10 years, the equipment has gotten smaller, faster, and easier to use. The problem isn't the tracking, it's the eyes. Your eyes jump around approximately 3-4 times per second, and they don't always go where you think they do. Due to the way the visual system works, the mouse/cursor would just jump around the screen every few hundred milliseconds, and would serve as more of a distraction than an aide. Very minor calibration issues also cause problems if the mouse/cursor is displayed in real time; being off even a few pixels (which is pretty much guaranteed) results in the user "following" the cursor around on the screen.

There are already a bunch of options for people who can't use their hands to play video games (assuming you meant quadriplegics). First result in Google provides a decent list: http://www.oneswitch.org.uk/1/AGS/AGS-head.htm

That would promake you very dizzy, would require far more effort than using your hands, and would be likely to cause neck injuries. I don't see much future in this, as mouth controls already exist for people who don't have the use of their hands to play video games. It was a great project for students to learn, but it's unlikely to have any practical use outside the lab.

So, to avoid having the service of a particular website or network denied by a targeted DoS attack, the government will deny service to the entire Internet? To use the original analogy, isn't that like demolishing a city to stop a few building from being destroyed?

Farewell Athens/Acropolis.

Fools.

How does he deal with the firearms laws in the state he's traveling to?

I have trouble believing that. Light scatters in the atmosphere; it's not just coming at you in straight lines from each source. Standing in a well doesn't change the fact that the bright, scattered light from the sun or terrestrial sources will reach your eyes and make it impossible to see faint objects. Reducing the amount of peripheral, direct light will improve the situation, but I doubt it will have enough of an impact to be noticeable, and certainly not enough to see "night sky, with stars and all" on a sunny day.

Thanks for the good times, Athens/Acropolis. /Is it sad that I still remember my old address?
