This one time I went to a Taco Bell with a 0.002 dollar bill and they would not accept it as legal tender.

My Mugshot stacker alerted me to your blog informations

It's obviously a difference of opinion.

They're both the same if you look at them paper wise.

I got a beautiful laugh out of this when I first saw it. "There's no such thing as .002 dollars." Classic..

Yes! I hated mouse-warp! I always figured it was some unavoidable SDL bug.

I know, I'm slow... end of the semester business!

Actually, I think it's just that I have been getting radar spam (usually on several entries all at the same time) and so the last updated time looks low, but I've deleted the entries so you don't see 'em...

RC: Actually, don't do that, there is a better way. In the game, navigate to the triage directory and press ctrl-0 (zero). Then type the name of the player file whose solutions you'd like to import. It will take care of the rest. This doesn't merge bookmarks, however, and might solve some levels automatically that you never actually really solved (these are usually the really trivial levels though, so no real harm done..).

It's not documented, but it is not hard to do by hand. You can open up the player files in a text editor. There are two sections you'd want to merge: the one that says "solutions" and the one that says "ratings." If you just paste the data from the one file to the other, everything should work okay (but make backups first). You don't need to worry about the order or duplicates, I think.

I use CVS to merge changes to my player file across several machines; you could also do something like that (or subversion, or unison)...

Is there a way to merge my various player files so that all my machines have all the same puzzels solved. If it is documented somewhere just point me to that.
 
5256. RC (216.129.186.163) – 10 Dec 2006 08:32:53 UPD: Escape Beta 3 ]
Good to see a new level from you. It is nice to see that you get to play your game too.

Hey I think there's a bug with your radar causing the 2nd-to-most-recent posting to show the same latest-comments-time as the most recent posting (which currently is "18 hours ago" for both, despite the fact that the 2nd one hasn't had a comment in 12 days). Ummm, that wasn't super clearly stated, but hopefully you followed it...

What kind of devices could be used to "get rid" of unwanted objects?

But how do I get the original bot out of the way without blowing up the button?

Tutorial 21: You need to put something on that panel so that the bots will come over and push the button, but the bomb that's there blows up before the bots can get there! But some bombs have longer fuses than others...

That's what the post was about; being able to verify after the fact that a vote was counted. If you want to see an example of how it might work in practice, check out the ThreeBallot paper that I linked to.

Hi Tom.

Cool fonts and blog.
Love the voting issue you are laying out.

I like the electronic voting thing in theory, but in practice it seems to have architectural issues that both I and the public at large need to understand better.

Would you offer any criteria for valid voting technology?

Perhaps I should phrase this in terms of
voting technology validation schemes... ?

How can we be sure all votes are counted and
how can we be sure all counted votes are valid?

With presidential elections coming, this is a very large and complex issue for the public to understand, let alone speak to.
