I disagree. There is a good reason to want 'the best' within limits (cost, availability etc.). For example, hiking with low quality shoes that give you blisters decreases your enjoyment of hiking. Hiking with shoes that fit perfectly and give comfort makes hiking much more enjoyable.

spectrum | 13 years ago | on: Reddit user captures video of 2012 voting machines altering votes

In the Netherlands they got rid of voting machines all together in 2008.

A group set out to ensure that the election process in the Netherlands would become as fraud resistant as it was before the advent of paperless voting computers. They demonstrated that the voting machines could be hacked. It wass also a risk because of the small group involved in getting the results out of these computers, with no real possibility to check if they are real (because the source code is not open). Committing fraud would only have to involve a few people.

On May 16, 2008 the Dutch government decided that elections in the Netherlands will be held using paper ballots and red pencil only. A proposal to develop a new generation of voting computers was rejected.

I do not consider this a definitive guide on Facebook. Maybe for musicians but certainly not for hackers. You only talk about how to engage your current fans but there is no mention of how to get new fans, build an audience or market your page.

Off topic suggestion: go easy on the ads on your website, I got irritated by all the movement in the sidebar.

Because in our society most of the people sit when they commute, sit when they work and sit when they eat and sit when they relax.
