Rare would mean statistically insignificant, which is what voter fraud is.
You're fucking retarded if you don't see why such a statement is absurd.
Hint: Successful voter fraud isn't detected and thus doesn't show up on statistics reporting about voter fraud (actually, it shows up on the other side, as legitimate votes, helping downplay the scale of voter fraud).
It's bad form to post as AC then reply to it logged in. For future reference, the reverse is also true.
Rule by a minority would be more tyrannical than rule by majority. "Tyranny of the majority" is a fun little phrase for small minds to latch onto, especially when they're in the minority and demanding people do everything their way.
You sod off. Those kids are temporary residents and list their permanent addresses back home with their parents.
They're voting illegally when they register on campus in a district or state in which they are not a permanent resident.
Hell, I voted on a ballot measure years back that pointed this out and sought to make someone actually validate addresses because people who live in those districts are sick of kiddos coming in and fucking shit up every election and leaving before the impact is felt.
By definition, no square root of a negative number exists. (And fuck your negative 0 bullshit. If you want to talk about negative 0 bullshit squaring it gives you positive zero bullshit, which is not equal to your negative 0 bullshit without a whole other layer of bullshit on top.)
Imaginary numbers are a computational aid. They do not represent any actual value or any actual physical thing, though they are useful intermediaries for determining actual values or physical things.
Such coercion is already illegal. Preventing one avenue of performing that coercion doesn't justify shitting on the 1st amendment. In fact, nothing justifies it.
My ballot has an ID and a stub I tore off. I can call in and ensure that my ballot was received and counted. I don't know if there's a way to determine if it was counted correctly. If ballots were unreadable for whatever reason but the IDs on there were intact, they could post a list of those IDs and let people with the stubs reclaim and refill their ballots for recounting.
EMET isn't worthless. It's good for forcing protections on sloppy shit and for enforcing certificate pinning. You have to actively configure EMET for it to actually do anything worthwhile, though.
You don't need a degree to be a "guy" of something.
If you want to pretend that Tesla, Solar City, SpaceX, and the greatest boondoggle of them all - the Hyperloop, weren't made possible because of my tax dollars, go right ahead. Doesn't change the facts. Also, PayPal is about as beneficial to society as Ticketmaster and inflamed hemorrhoids.
Technically, he's an "endlessly bilk subsidies and bask in the media spotlight after Steve Jobs dies for every half-baked, ill-conceived idea you have on the shitter" guy.
Risky like riding a unicycle down a mountain. Just walk down the mountain then ride the unicycle. Both are risky in their own right, but doing them together is just fucking stupid.
When the "old timers" are the ones who put people on the moon and the new kids on the block are having trouble making shit not explode on their way to LEO, then maybe you should listen to the "old timers". Especially when there's no fucking reason to fuel up while crew are aboard.
Cox compresses the shit out certain channels but not others. It seems like someone at AMC finally bitched them out. The 2 episodes this season, at least during the first run, didn't have the usual blockiness and color shifting (it shifts to magenta gradually over a few seconds then the green pops back in on, probably when it hits a keyframe, only for it to shift back to magenta, repeating endlessly).
Base taxes on executive compensation, including all stock options, retirement plans, etc. Extend it to spouses, children, family members, and anyone else receiving compensation from the corporation (or any subsidiaries, parents, etc.) they're seen in a social setting with.
Who gives a shit about supercomputers? The list is a measure of when you bought your CPUs/GPUs and how many you paid for. They're not a measurement of engineering or technical prowess and they're not a measurement of ability to DO anything with the compute power.
If you want to drum up fear you've got to talk about the classified secret shit the government and military has access to. But you don't know what they have access to so you can't talk about it to drum up fear.
You admit that there are different incompatible standards, yet you pretend it's not an issue? And this is before Apple even enters the game.
You talk about consumers liking the idea and it being in certain products. More people bought 3D TVs than wireless chargers. How did that turn out?
You ignore the physical issues with induction charging and blame it on a sign from the universe? WTF kind of argument is that?
You say both of these things: "Given the number of phones which experience accidental full immersion there's a lot of ways to describe water proofing. Stupid is hardly one of them." "The rating for partial submersion is sufficient."
So which is it? Are fully submersing their phones or not?
And this gem: "It takes a special kind of person to think that these ratings are for swimming with your device (hint, they are not, if they were they wouldn't be IP rated), and then have the audacity to call the idea stupid."
How about the fucking ads showing exactly that?
You claim wireless charging and waterproofing sell, yet you provide no evidence. I could say 3D sells TVs.
What model of phone do you have? What features does the successor have (or not have)? Is it made by Apple or Samsung (the only manufacturers who matter in the industry, unfortunately)?
Physics says it's slower and less efficient than a cable. China says they'll be dangerous when they're popular and people are buying cheapos off Amazon. I don't have to dig around for a cable. It's on my desk, waiting, like a charging pad would be but in a much smaller footprint. I can also hold my device while charging it.
I don't know who the fuck is behind wireless charging and water proofing. It sure as fuck isn't customers.
Wireless charging is fucking stupid because you still need a wire to plug the charging pad in, and the charging pad takes up more space than a simple cable would. And you still need a charging cable and port because the world isn't filled with wireless charging pads. Then you have all the incompatible versions and brands. Then you have the fact that's it's inefficient, slow, and potentially dangerous. And remember - if the next iThing has wireless charging Amazon will be filled with shitty Chinese knock off charging pads with zero safety testing and the absolute minimal design to get it functional.
Water proofing is stupid as well. It typically means more glue and a less-serviceable phone with the way they're doing it. My phones are already water resistant for everything but full immersion, and even with the IP-whatever rated phones you're limited to x time at y depth for a promise of it not shitting the bed. Plenty of those rated phones still fail (see the Slashdot article about Consumer Reports taking a certain manufacturer to task), and even those that don't fail are only rated to not "permanently fail". That is, turn it off and dry it out and it should be fine. Only a handful of phones are actually intended for (brief) use under water. A plastic bag would serve the same purpose and act as a flotation device if you're really using your phone in the ocean, lake, or pool.
My guess is wireless charging and IP-rating against water is being pushed by carriers and manufacturers as an effort to keep people upgrading even though hardware progress isn't as significant as it was a few years ago. Seal the battery in even tighter, remove the SD card slot, hell, even solder on the SIM card, and get rid of the charging port and the headphone port. You now have a seamless, unserviceable brick with a 18-24 month lifespan.

Vote early, vote often. The Democrat way.
As the stock market hasn't changed appreciably,
I've been losing about 1 % in most of my shit ever day that more Hillary emails hit the media.
No Brexit style drop, but absolutely appreciable declines whenever the Donald shows signs of life.

Yup, slashdot filters the word nigger now.

They trot this shit out every once in a while.
They count losses as negative profits, then claim Apple made > 100% of all profits.
It's bad math for dumb people.
Profits are positive, by definition. Anyone saying anything else is trying to cheat somebody. Probably you.
