On the other hand, this laissez faire approach has apparently damaged your ability to spell.

..and all that shows is that you are an insufferable demagogue that would have eventually been driven away by some minor annoyance anyway. They just saved all the customer service time they would have wasted on you, at essentially no cost to them at all.

Sneaky, underhanded, devious behavior is not necessarily a sign of superior intellect. It is a strategy, one of many, that might be used to counter superior physical strength.

Another strategy might be superior training, such as the use of a martial art. Or attempt to improve communication, so that the conflict can be resolved with a win/win.

Or simply avoid the conflict altogether, if possible.

Claiming that "I am devious in my dealings with you because I am more intelligent than you" merely demonstrates that you have poor ethical judgement. A devious strategy might be justified, or it might not be.

...or you're easily amused. Just sayin'

There is already a much better approach than this in use for crypto; it's called "entropy gathering". It basically amounts to sampling things like network traffic, mouse movements, &etc and using the "noisy" bits of that data plus some math to induce randomness that is unpredictable and unrepeatable.

The problem with your approach, and anything that depends purely on an algorithmic processing of data that others can access, is that it is repeatable, given the data and the algorithm. With entropy gathering the data seeding the algorithm would be extremely difficult to re-capture after the fact.

It's called "Burning Man".

What about the ones who voted for him the second time but not the first? Remember he got more of the popular vote the second time.

Not only is this legal, there are numerous examples. This particular case appears to have been executed somewhat clumsily, which is hardly shocking considering how MySpace is run.

There, "fixed" that for you.

Note that, with standard door hardware, this would introduce a security hole. A locked door which opens outward is trivially easy to open without the key, because you can slide a credit card or other jimmy over the latching mechanism. When the door opens inward, you can't get to the latch because the door jam protects it.

Only in a marketing meeting would this seem like a good idea to anybody.

OOh!! I know! Next we'll have the attack of the 40-foot iPhone!

In the 25+ years I've been in the Software industry, I've heard this over and over again.

Meaning that buying M$ products was always a safe bet in terms of job security. Apparently that is no longer true. This is the real story here.

Oblig Simpsons:

I used to be "with it". But then they changed what "it" was. And now what I have isn't "it". And what is "it", is weird and scary to me!

This is exactly correct. For those of you who find this confusing or distasteful, welcome to Capitalism(tm).

What part of "He insists he didn't say anything until after the verdict" don't you understand?

And this is explicitly mentioned in the summary, you don't even have to RTFA to see it. Do you just read the first line of all your email before you respond.

Now who is the idiot?
