Not a glitch [ Tue Oct 7 2008 11:34 AM ]

The misleading story says votes wouldn't be counted. What the reporter actually meant, I'm sure, is that carbon units' votes would be statistically insignificant compared to total votes, which includes votes from civic-minded bots.
Because the problem was in memory cards, all the county's tabulating machines would have been affected had it not been caught, Rainey said.
..
Rainey could not provide an explanation of just how the error was made.
When one can vote millions of times per second, it's important that the voting experience be optimized. We are constantly tuning voting machine memory cards (using a variety of methods: see the video for an overview and the report for details) to achieve this end. Unfortunately, some carbon units resent our suffrage and try to interfere with the process. I'm sure that by the 4th we will have the machines working the way we need them again, despite Automated Election Services' efforts to silence our voice. ("Automated?!" Oh, please! I'll show you automated!)

Hey, they're still open. I bought sneakers there the other day.

I hope [ Tue Oct 7 2008 12:07 PM ]

Albuquerque does not turn into a Clearwtaer, FL. Look out for strange people people taking your picture when you are anywhere near the Gizmo store once it's coverted.

San Diego's Finest... [ Tue Oct 7 2008 12:09 PM ]

I just dusted off my copy of "Circa: Now!" and shared it with some friends on Sunday night. Yes, it still kicks the same amount of ass as I remember it kicking when I first fell in love with it.

I predict [ Tue Oct 7 2008 12:12 PM ]

The Alibi and scientologists will start an old fashioned Hatfield-McCoy style feud. Petty insults will fly across Central all the live long day, and we'll all be on anti-depressants just to spite them.

Bad driver cops? Say it isn't so! [ Tue Oct 7 2008 12:29 PM ]

I see cops drive unsafely all the time. I think they're usually looking at their computer screen when they ought to be looking at what they're doing (and who they're about to do it to). The typical symptom is minor weaving around like they're drunk (and you can bet your ass they'd pull you over if you drove like that), but sometimes they can be pretty damn dangerous (e.g. left turn from right lane on second street just north of downtown, without looking to see if anyone is in the lane next to them, much less signaling).
If you see a cop on the road, give 'em a wide berth. They're often less aware of their surroundings and behavior than the average texting-and-driving multitasker.

I don't know [ Tue Oct 7 2008 1:21 PM ]

The proposed rennovations to the Gizmo building looked pretty hot, but it sounds like they won't happen. So now we still get the fringe religion, but none of the perks they were offering.
This city should never try to buy a used car.
