nice troll, im sure others have shot down most of your bull, but ill point out that upstart is backwards compatible with sysv, so you can just use a nice simple inittab if you don't want to take advantage of the added features (not that there are many yet)
Qt is not free to develop with? funny because it being under gpl says differently. Sure if your trying to make a proprietary product then you'll run into problems, but you can develop your program at zero cost, then either use a GPL compatible license for your product (nothing says you cant sell it) or pay for a license.
The system is physically secured, the same way that a box full of ballots being moved around is secured. Meaning the system offers the same security as the previous paperbased system only its easier to use.
There are potential problems in computer-assisted voting systems too, especially touch screen systems, when the input sensors aren't calibrated right. We've already seen a lot of that with current touch screen systems where the vote tallies as being for the wrong candidate, and probably out of calibration errors.
That's why they look at the print out and ask for the system to be recalibrated.
I partly don't understand how Diebold could fail so badly at making voting machines unless they're actively trying to fail this badly, based on the performance of their ATMs...
I do find it puzelling as you could pretty much use an ATM that prints out your choice and sends off the vote to a central 'bank' of votes, and it would work much better than hier current system.
yeah but she doesn't believe in dinosaurs! I mean wtf, anybody that doesn't fear a sudden velocoraptor attack just ain't right in the head!
Also relevent may be the report outlining her abuse of power which she "hasn't had time to read yet" but some how "cleard her" she has only left the us once shes a creationist she cant name any papers she reads she cant name any supreme court rullings except roe vs wade she thinks taking 14 g hrs between waters breaking and going to hospital with a downs syndrome child (already a heightened chance of miscarriage) is a good idea she thinks shes in charge of the senate
why should good software follow a spec that limits its users? software should let me do stuff, including accessing material that follows a certain spec, but if i want to access it in a way different to the spec, software should let me do that too.
BTW neither Firefox nor Kpdf dont implement the spec, they just offer tickbox to not follow the spec.
I mean if you know what your doing then who cares, cli + text files is all you need, but ive set up a ubuntu server to play with and noticed no gui tools.
I agree that canonical strategy seams to be steal microsoft end users and that will hopefully get us more server users, but if im new to the world of linux im more likely to go with novell or red hat over ubuntu as a server os. But this isn't accounting for loyalty and the fact that 10% of 10k ex-windows users is still 1k users.
because the ability to get a page fast over a low bandwidth connection is important to most perspective buyers (ability to deal with compressed pages, pipelining etc) and at the end of the day if you live in the UK you will get iphones & G1s on their respective connections.
Security through obscurity does not work. The F22 is no more advanced than a military jet any country produce if they wanted too. If the Russians or Chinese wanted to produce stealth fighters to fight the US, it would come down to who has more high quality aircraft production facilities NOT who has better designs.
because windows blows the socks off Linux right? and nobody in Europe thought of adding 1 to 1,099,511,627,776 the iphone was made in america? modern chips? laptops? computers? cars?
Not saying America doesn't produce anything useful, but you cant really restrict Google searches.
Slashdot Mirror
But wireless devices are susceptible to anything cat5 is and then some!
hey its "yes, you can08" to meet the new stricter password requirements

which printers arn't supported? (lexmark dont count as they barely have windows drivers)
Is that not what alt+print+b is in linux?
wait new scientist was less sensational, oh right less sensational than slashdot! That is like being less gay than big gay Al right?
what use are webserver, email server, IM servers if your internet is down anyway?

as any good fan will tell you, the films are not canonical.

Giuliani'd already?
and when the paper based recount of random samples shows discrepancies (birthday problem maths and all that) then what?
the indian voting system seams to cope well and in many ways surpasses a paper based system.
how is that more secure than say an electronic count with a paper trail?

she has only left the us once
shes a creationist
she cant name any papers she reads
she cant name any supreme court rullings except roe vs wade
she thinks taking 14 g hrs between waters breaking and going to hospital with a downs syndrome child (already a heightened chance of miscarriage) is a good idea
she thinks shes in charge of the senate
but nah its mainly the dinosour stuff.

really nobody in the uk is on T-mobile? quick somebody tell me as ive been using them for years.
Until 3G is everywhere this test is meaningless.
this was the UK
We have pretty good 3g coverage, hell its probably just the 1 satellite up there anyway.

IIRC they are tied to O2 here. but because apple used to run the browser as root many are jail broken.
you would think that £150 for a handset and an extra £15 a month would get you something more than looks though.
