You could do the same with electronic voting, e.g. by breaking the machines or not supplying them on time.
Difference is, it's obvious that someone is cheating if when you show up there are not enough ballots, whereas glitches in the software may be either accidental or intentional, this making it much harder to call whether someone is manipulating the result.
How was it again that the current majority population came to control the North American territories? I won't even have to Google it to probably be right about Syria being an older nation than the US.
238) Stop forcing Palestinians into walled-off ghettos.
There are plenty of "Palestinians" living outside Gaza in Israel. Nobody is "forcing" them to live in the ghetto that Gaza is.
So if I build a nice tall fence around your city/town, you'd freely and with pleasure either tolerate it or move away without feeling even the slightest bit forced?
I do realize that you were trolling, but I'm too drunk to ignore it.
ScienceDaily (Nov. 12, 1997) — Computer "eyes" are now up to such tasks as watching for fugitives in airline terminals and other busy locations. A sophisticated face-recognition system that placed first in recent Army competitive trials has been given the added ability to pick out faces in noisy or chaotic "street" environments.
The new "Mugspot" software module developed at the University of Southern California automatically analyzes video images, looking for passers-by. When it finds them, it picks out the heads in the images and then tracks the heads for as long as they remain in the camera's field.
Almost 15 years ago, it was already possible to accurately track and recognise people in grainy, blurry, low-res video. As if intelligence agencies *aren't* having a field day with facebook.
But 15 years ago millions of people did not voluntarily (albeit unknowingly, for the most part) submit their personal photos and videos for this kind of analysis.
The US' statistic is also surprising: 5.0 per 100,000 - the highest among OECD countries by a long shot (though still comparatively safe compared to the majority of countries in the world).
That must be all those guns people have the right to carry, and all the murders constantly covered on the news which make people feel like they should probably carry a gun, just in case...
... how many polices is the editor talking about which probe virtual worlds for money trail(s)? Or perhaps they (in the 3rd person singular sense of "they") meant to write "Aussie Police Probes..."
Or maybe they're discussing some police probe based virtual worlds in which the communities are collectively in favour of a particular money trail?
I'm not a native English speaker, so I might be wrong in pointing out that there is a problem here. But I don't think I am.
Funny how your comment came almost the same time as the headline "Red Hat Paid $4.2m To Settle Patent Suit" - were they paid or have they paid? I guess we will never know (unless we read the summary or TFA that is).
But surely, the academic title MSc Eng is only allowed to be used by people holding a diploma for such a degree? If this is not the case, then I might as well add a couple of extra degrees to my business card.
Heck, even trains, the one kind of vehicle that could drive itself completely safely today, are still manned by "drivers" who spend their time pushing a button to tell the computer they're still alive, because passengers would be scared without drivers and unions prevent their removal from the trains.
Well except in at least Copenhagen, Denmark, where our metro is without in-train operators. As far as I know there is no union for the operating computers, as they have yet to gain sentience.
I do realise you're being sarcastic, but whereas "scary" and "inconsistent" are valid adjectives to associate with the continent Europe depending on what your opinion is, "nanny-state" isn't because Europe isn't a state, it's a continent, and furthermore The European Commission is a political body within the European Union, which is not the same as the continent Europe. Just the same way as [North] America isn't the same as the United States of America.

I wonder did he write that himself, or was he dictating it?
And what makes you think there will not be made terminator style killing robots with mines in them?
Because false dichotomy?

The Desire has a rather small internal storage memory, meaning that unless you change the partition layout you will quickly run out of storage space.

Why, do you think anyone would attempt a hijack?

You might as well have written: "I think PC Pro paid Slashdot to bring this otherwise useless story so they could get some advertising money."
Or maybe they're discussing some police probe based virtual worlds in which the communities are collectively in favour of a particular money trail?

Well, that would give you one very large diff and not several specific ones that you could pick and choose between.

Seems they are all about the money now...
... because they were not until now?
IIRC there is an icon preview panel which means you can remove the last element from your list.

Most people are fucking idiots.
Not idiots, but ignorant. You can't blame them for that.
Well, you could, but they wouldn't listen, would they?
