In Australia - the only time this is relevant is in the senate and only if you take the option of voting above the line(which admittedly most people do). In this case all your preferences go to whomever that party has decided. In the house of reps you have to number all the boxes yourself so you can't be Ignorant of where your vote is going.
I'm not from The US so i'm not 100% on their system however AFAIK preferrential voting is not used federally and i have never heard of any states that do use it having an 'Above the line' option as in our senate.
I guess that you are not aware that Apple purchased the company that made Siri and then immediately stopped the development of the Blackberry and Android versions.
And your rebuttal is:
What matters is this: "Who is going to pay to make sure people actually end up using it?"
Secondly:
Seriously, everyone else in the tech industry should just give up. Apple won technology. let them have it. Everyone else in the tech industry, please go back to school. Let Linux die, let Android die, let the PC die. Everyone else should just stop right now and do something else.
i can't comprehend why you would say this when you seem well aware that apple pretty much invents fuck all, and without these entities whom you think should give up they'd have nothing.
yes yes they would, they'd rip the page out of the typewriter, run to the front of the class and yell "miss, miss, i'm finished! can i have a banana now" at which point the teacher would scold them for for their terrible spelling. you then laugh at them and call them names for their failure. After a short review the teacher would realise that the monkey was simply dyslexic and that English is probably not the best subject for them. The monkey would drop his dreams of becoming a writer to become an expert in ballistics. then when you venture off into space living your dreams as an astronaut(cause you're oh so smart) you lose communication with earth and crash on some strange planet where apes are the dominant species. you then run into said monkey and realise you are actually on earth and the monkeys have taken over. had you not bullied him about his dyslexia he wouldnt have overthrown humans. thanks a lot asshole.

if it was written in 7 bit ascii it could eventually output binary data which re-encoded into 8 bit would contain cyrillic characters.
otherwise even in 8 bit with an infinite amount of time there would eventually appear bit errors throwing the data off into characters outside the listed charset.
so which of the two puppets do i vote for to get change?
run myself? third party? sorry but the US political system is so extremely flawed that it is impossible for anyone other than reps of the two main party's to get a position of power. and will remain that way until something drastic (as in far more drastic than anything that's happened in the history of your country - including the civil war, cause same circumstances now that wouldn't happen.)
yeah australia's also pretty much stuck with our two puppets but at least with preferential and mandatory voting(the two things that i believe make our system the best in the world*) there's some sort of hope for change.
as an aside revolutions are sometimes necessary(that's the whole purpose of the second amendment, when i realised this was the reason for it i changed my stance completely), and i feel a major global revolution brewing quite possibly a failed one, but time will tell.
*i don't actually know a whole lot about every other system. feel free to enlighten me:)
did you ever consider that English isn't everyone's first language. write a post with actual content in another language without spelling or grammatical errors and hey i wouldn't really give a shit because i'll judge it based on what's important, you know - it's content.
but anyway - way good counter argument you made there - woo i can really see your point. oh wait i must have hallucinated that because you don't have one.
there are people that genuinely believe in the right ideals, who are exactly the sort of people that i'd want to be a cop. there's just not enough of them.
your view of other people is shaped entirely by previous experience (and largely by yourself but that's off topic). cops see a different side of society while on the job than your average bob (bob is far cooler than joe). add to that fact that there is already this culture of us vs them within the police force which not only skews their view in the way that people act towards them, but also because of the way their colleagues act/speak about the public.
I think more so than the people that are attracted to being cops being the wrong sort of people is that the people that are attracted to them are the wrong sort of people (public and fellow force members)
There's no real soluton to this problem in the world we currently live in. it's kind of a necessary evil, and definately could be improved upon, i just don't know how.
If you seriously think the world would be a better place without law enforcement, i'd love to live in your utopian bubble.
anarchy breeds tyranny. if you can come up with a system without cops that would work for a society of more than say 60 people (excluding orwellian or huxley nightmare dystopian futures) i'm all ears. and you probably deserve a nobel prize.
Note: i am not a cop, related to a cop, or friends with a cop. my judgements are based on my life experience and working in a job dealing with the general public (complaints to be specific)
This isn't wikileaks suing some third party who gained access to these leaks for publishing this. wikileaks gave this password to the guardian under the agreement that they would not re-publish this.
when has wikileaks ever leaked anything given to them that they agreed beforehand not to release?

When i type a new address and hit enter it doesnt direct all of my tabs - just the tab that the bar is contained in.

Not making a change that someone requested != openly ignoring them.

how do you block the loading of the facebook button BEFORE you know it exists?
Note:By before you know it exists, i mean before you know it exists anywhere on the internet, not before you know it exists on this one specific site.
i could wear a suit of armour to prevent injury from someone stabbing me.
that does not mean that someone should not be charged for stabbing me.

Have you tried asking for payment up-front?
that life has been beyond unfair to you is an understatement. that ability to go to college and get an education sure must have sucked.
i always wondered what japer fforde was on about but never bothered looking into it. and i still haven't

I hear there's another Stephanie Meyer book coming out sometime.
"this is a work of shakespeare: oooo, hoo lives in a pine-apple unda the c"
