Not all countries have hilariously huge beaurcracies of elected officials. In this case the article is about Australia.
Here we vote for senate and the house. The prime minister is chosen by the party which controlls the house. Cabinet positions such as treasurer and AG are chosen by the prime minister and confirmed by the governer general.
Local officials, controllers, and judges are apolitical positions and not voted on.
Propositions and measure are "yes/no", not a ranking of positions.
You can make your own (or print one from a party's website) "how to vote" card before you go to the poll, and then fill in your ballot to match. Or you can decide when you get there.
It takes under 5 minutes to vote for everything in total, not 5 minutes per vote.
Anyone who is actually voting for wikileaks will likely be well informed and voting below the line anyways.
For those not familiar with australian voting, we have preferential instant runoff first past the pole voting.
You can either vote "above the line," where you select ONE party, and that party decides how your preferences fall if they don't win a seat, or you can vote "below the line," where you number individual candidates "1, 2, 3.....".
So people in third world countries should just save up for 15 years to buy a commercial lighting system?
This isn't about commercial use in wealthy areas, it's about giving light to the various areas in the world with "shack cities", where a few thousand people just shove up tin roofs and live in close proximity.
Do you REALLY not understand the difference between yelling at someone in person, which includes the threat of physical altercation even if no DIRECT verbal threats are made simply due to presence, and a nasty email dressing someone down?
If you stand at my front door and shout obsenities at me while refusing to leave then it's assault in most jurisdictions. Doing the same in an indirect manner, even over the phone, isn't.
That's not QUITE how debouncing works, depending on the circumstances. Debouncing is more of a "sticky" state change than a delayed state change.
If you're not pressing a key, and haven't been for a few mS, and then press it, the state change is registered instantly. Debounce then keeps you from "unpressing" the key until XYZ mS have passed to filter out stray switch glitches.
As long as you're not trying to press a key on and off faster than the debounce time it's not actually slowing down your response time. That initial press, and letting go of a key you've held more than "X" mS, will always be "instant".
So a debounce doesn't work like a capacitor, smoothing out the signal, it acts more like a triggered latching circuit.
Things that have improved: -the dialog has an expanded mode which shows a real time copy speed graph -the time estimates are based on total transfer history as opposed to instantanious speed -conflicts have more/better/safer options (replace all, replace if newer, etc) -copies to the same destination are grouped together even if you drag and drop a few different times
I had not yet seen MajorNelson's reply, as I avoid the reddit gaming forums entirely (the homebrewing forum is awesome though!) and don't have access to dedicated gaming sites from work. It appears it was only posted 1 day ago (I'm in Australia, already through Monday here).
I didn't have facts, but I had statements from the company. The twitter statement is the last thing I'd seen stated by actual MS employees. I wasn't making things up, ignoring "facts," nor anything else you accused me of.
How is anyone invested in the PS4 ecosystem when it's out yet? Or you just mean emotionally?
I think that there are a lot of mistakes in the xbox one DRM, and hopefully they'll be fixing them. I won't buy one until they get fixed, but I don't care if you do or not!
What I want changed:
-daily checkins are fine, but only disable playing if it's been ~4 weeks since a successful checkin. Broadband outages happen, and that's exaclty when you want to churn through the latest RPG because you can't do your "normal" entertainment things.
-if I have a disk in my hand, I should be able to play that game single player offline, regardless of having a net connection/whether it's used or new/etc.
-If this system is all about advantages, I should be able to lend a game to anyone "digitally" without cost nor effort. "lend game to Jimmy for 30 days" and it disables the license on my xbox. After 30 days it reverts back, and I can continue lending it or not. I am fine if I cannot play the game while it's "lent".
-Allow resale on market terms. Make it like the apple store, though, and take 30% of the resale price (10% to MS, 20% to publisher?) rather than setting prices and disallowing some games to be resold. They've REALLY missed the boat on that one, as they could have an internal "ebay" like system where you list used games for sale. EVERYONE wins under that scenario.
-GUARANTEE ALL DIGITAL DELIVERY GAMES WILL WORK ON FUTURE "xbox" CONSOLES. This is a big one. I'm annoyed that my XBLA games (we have >$500 invested in them) will not work on xbox one. Require "arcade"/casual games to be written in dotnet with no assembly, or require publishers to provide source code escrow. I don't care if they cost more to accomplish this.
I was not making up shit. I had a referenced reply which directly stated what I was claiming.
A marketing droid (who has an awesome podcast) stated the opposite in your video. You ask "who would more likely know the details". I'll ask "who would more likely lie and throw spin as opposed to accidentally revealing corporate policy". Major Nelson has constantly been "wrong" about many things in the past pertaining to xbox live features and releases.
How is my comment about differences between steam and xbox one a "witch hunt" ? Who am I hunting?
"You just want to hate on the Xbox and are willing to deny facts for that."
We are both going on conflicting statements made by the same company. I am not denying facts, NEITHER of us have facts as the system has not been released. We both had statements made by the company.
I don't "hate on" the xbox, I owned the xbox classic and the 360, and am a HUGE forza fan.
You have some sort of problem with open discussion, which is fine, but don't go attacking others shouting "FACTS FACTS!" when neither of us have facts, and mine were in reaction to a scoffing remark implying that steam had the same restrictions as the xbox one, which it doesn't.
After you buy a game on steam you don't ever have to connect to the internet again.
If you load a game on a laptop and take it with you on vacation you can play the games.
If your internet goes out for a week you can play the games.
If you troll the forums and get your account banned you can play the games (just not online MP). (With the xbone, if your live account is banned you lose access to all of your games, even singleplayer)
So I'm not certain what your point was, perhaps you can elaborate?

After version 2.99 would come 2.100.
After that 2.101.
After 2.999 comes 2.1000.
-Faster boot times
-Better SSD support
-less ram used by OS
-storage spaces if you have a bunch of disparate disks and want data redundancy
And you can boot to your desktop so you never see "metro" if you don't like it.
Your SharePoint site isn't in the trusted zone. Get your company's IT department to fix that with a simple Group Policy update.
It will have DisplayPort, as will any monitors of 4k resolution.
Nice FUD there. You picked the btrfs-progs, which are the userspace tools, not the actual btrfs filesystem driver.

If you don't care where your vote winds up vote above the line.
If you do, vote below the line.
It only takes 5 minutes.
Damnit you're right. I got muddled by the brisbane times link.
Either way it's not NSW though!
Which of their policies do you disagree with?
http://www.wikileaksparty.org.au/platform/
My guess would be asylum seekers?
What does this have to do with Assange directly?He is only one of 7 wikileaks candidtates, and he is running in Queensland.
This story is about preferences in New South Wales. The wikileaks candidates in NSW are Kellie Tranter and Alison Broinowski.
Anyone who is actually voting for wikileaks will likely be well informed and voting below the line anyways.

Google CAN write their own youtube app. Today they can, and it would be on the MS app store within a few days.
Google has made a corporate decision to write 0 windows phone apps.

It is both novel and beneficial to those people.
Please think before you spew.
From the summary:
"so it's easy to track many of the brighter stars as well as planets and deep-space probes, such as Voyagers 1 and 2."

Your description and outrage is how MANY people feel about the GPL vs the LGPL.
Free software advocates would argue that your users are "running" your software, and thus are owed the source code.
If you are running a forum you ARE running software as a service.
Only if they take updates as opposed to forking it.
You cannot remove a license from something you've already released.
Things that have improved:
-the dialog has an expanded mode which shows a real time copy speed graph
-the time estimates are based on total transfer history as opposed to instantanious speed
-conflicts have more/better/safer options (replace all, replace if newer, etc)
-copies to the same destination are grouped together even if you drag and drop a few different times
That's all from the top of my head.
If you do that you can run the dash. Yay.
That doesn't make you magically able to run games.

That is an official microsoft support channel stating exactly what I said.
