    This is what I provide to my local Registrar of Voters. I also need a photo ID that matches the above info when I vote.

    It is for party primaries. So only party members can vote only for their party. You are given different ballets depending on your affiliation. This is different in each state.

  11. Re:USPS had its tyres slashed on Finnish Mail System Abandons Tuesday Delivery · · Score: 1

    I have been dealing with this since the start of the internet in early 1990s. Most websites WILL NOT let you enter a street address on one line AND a PO box on the second. Amazon did not until recently. Again most websites only allow the 5 digit zip and disallow the 5+4. Also a lot of web sites will not ship AT ALL to PO boxes. Yet turn around and mail me a package to my street address. So I try to list my address as;

    Joe Blo
    747 Ford St.
    Box 666 or B 666 or just 666
    Detroit, MI 49XXX

    And my postmaster STILL rejects packages. It is a town of 2K and has about 150 PO boxes and 1 postmaster that has been there for at least 10 years. I talk to him at least twice a week. It is only a 2 room Post Office. If I lived outside of the city limits I would be on a rural route and get home delivery. So I must avoid 3rd party sellers on Amazon and Ebay totally. They ship the cheapest for them and do no0t give me a choice of method or address.

    4) USPS delivers to every address. None of the other carriers do. They hand their packages off to the USPS when it isn't cost effective for them to manually deliver it themselves. I lived in one of those locations for a summer. It was very annoying. All those guaranteed 2-day delivery services and stuff like that? Oh, they don't apply to your location even though you already paid for it and we won't offer refunds.

    BULLSHIT. In My town of 3000 people the USPS has NEVER delivered a single piece of mail. The only way I get mail is through a PO box. It is always a SNAFU ordering off the web. I have companies ALL the time that will not ship to a PO Box. Yet mail me a package to my street address. SCREW the USPS.

  13. Re:Some problems with that idea on Microsoft Could Turn Every PC Into an Xbox (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Think Steam client. Now think XBox/Windows store client. Now charge everyone on a Windows PC $60 a year for XBox live. You now just hit a large group that would have never purchased a console. Microsoft makes very little money on the XBox hardware. It will be almost pure profit with very little downside.

    Yes Heroes of the Storm is a flop. Question. How many NEW players will start playing Starcraft and WoW? I said Diablo has a following/player base. Overwatch @$60 will flop. In 6 months Overwatch will be just like Battlefront is now. Dead. Blizzard is the Microsoft of games companies. They are now putting out games no one wants to play except the die hard Blizzard fanboys. You know because it's a Blizzard game. Tell me how Overwatch is $60 and TF2 is still free.

    Blizzard is a dying company. HOTS is a huge flop. Overwatch will also be a flop. Starcraft is basically dead. Diablo has a following and Hearthstone is the only real hit they have. WoW is kept on life support by the fanboys. After the next expansion flops again it will finally die.
