...throttle, the injection of fuel, the firing of spark plugs, even the operation of the catalyst limiting the engine's pollution. The same software also controls electronic stability by modulating the vehicle's throttle to help keep the car under control on slippery surfaces without any kind of input from the driver. Motorists aren't even aware that the software adjusts the throttle 10 times per second...
Voting software would be adjusted to incorporate a “keys” system that requires simultaneous password input from five of eight “trustees” in order to access election results. These “trustees” would consist of some combination of deans, EC commissioners, and the current UC president, the report stated...
...Empower Cabinet Members on Domestic Policy. Obama has put numerous talented people in his Cabinet, from a Nobel Prize winner to several successful governors, but like his predecessor, he has no system to get the most out of them.

Haiti, by contrast, lets its buildings rise with little if any input from engineers and plenty of bribes to so-called government inspectors. Structures have scant reinforcement and are often set on weak foundations. That's why 13 of 15 federal ministry buildings pancaked in the Jan. 12 earthquake - and why, in 2008, 91 students and teachers died when their school...
