As long as the entire chain is trusted. The point of this article is that with the current machines, these boxes are untrusted, and frankly untrustable. Additionally, the margin of error was for the particular type of paper ballot, not paper voting in general. There are more reliable methods of paper voting, which allow for a paper record that isn't subject to the hanging chad, dimpled chad fiasco of the florida vote. Saying digital is flawless is frankly bullshit.
I'm more astounded that people aren't asking for not only an audit trail of every vote, but full source code of every piece of every voting machine, firmware, software, the whole shebang. A mechanical voting machine, I can take it apart, I can see the flaws, etc, and make an educated decision. Why can't I do that with a Diebold machine?
Firewire is basically a step between scsi and usb in terms of CPU utilization, at least in my experience. One of the reasons I like my 4G ipod so much over the 5G is the fact that it'll still transfer over the firewire bus. Makes it a lot faster when you have 10 gigs of music you're sending over; I zap my ipod every few months because I've found, at least in my experience, that the iPod'll lose song and send over a group it's already sent over.
Yeah, they may be on recouperation leave for a while, but if a severed limb becomes just a matter of a few surgeries and a year of physical therapy, a lot of the psychological damage becomes moot. Plus, there are a lot of soldiers through history who have fought while missing limbs, etc. Not common, but definitely not unheard of.
I would say that JS needs to distribute the various calls in terms of security/privacy impact more than anything. There are certain things that are nice and harmless in the spec, and certain areas that are more like satan in computer code. The problem with noscript is more that it is an all or nothing sort of approach, which honestly discourages people from playing nice -- it puts all code in the same basket of evil. If noscript were more of a code-level app, it would be assloads more useful, and would make auditing suspect code a lot easier.
I disagree. This is a way to get beyond the format wars and allow people to make movies and not care about what format the disc is. Remember the bullshit of VHS vs. Beta, or CD-ROM vs. Floppy? This way, studios can make their product on one disc, and let the manufacturers duke it out for the player market.
I would say that a lack of due diligence on Bayer's behalf would mean that these genes now rightfully belong in the public domain. After all, bayer did provide them to a lot of people without any sort of licensing agreement.
MS has time-limited versions of a lot of their software, including 2003 server and Office. In fact, XP RC-1 had a similar open beta program. Fill out a form, and they send ya a CD for free. I think I still have my copy somewhere.
That WAS stupid. And everyone now seems to realize that Prohibition was stupid. Unfortunatly, not many people seem to realize that our current drug policy IS Prohibition.
With the difference being that before, they did everything legally, through the constitutional amendment process. The war on drugs came through an unconstitutional policy centered around the bullshit secondary commerce clause, which is the legacy of FDR that has caused half the messes we are in now.
More likely, they could have had two gentlemen with well-groomed hair and black armani suits ready to pummel them with legal papers had they done it. Yeah, SLAPPs are illegal, but a situation like this, effective. Shut the guy up for a few weeks until the leak is plugged is well worth the few hundred grand in the case they get hit with a judgement for filing a SLAPP suit.
What's so hard about uninstalling realplayer? I've never had any problem just deleting the directory that it installs to, or the program on a mac. Oh wait, you're probably one of those Windows users. Next time, use an operating system that doesn't fail at package management.
I don't think it to be realistic to turn 1/4 of your apartment into a heat/cold storage just to drive the AC.
You'd be surprised on how easy it is to find that 1/4 of the space if you start thinking about areas such as the attic, and under the house. I imagine that one could fairly easily get a good amount of the area they needed for cooling reserves from just those areas. If not, then there's always going down; sinking an underground storage tank for energy purposes isn't horribly expensive, all things considered.
I work for a company that rents space in the same building as myspace. The big selling point for the building was that they would handle all that for us; they (supposedly anyways, the last year or so has shown otherwise) have massive battery banks and generators for all the downstairs colo suites. This building also has a number of banks which rely on the same facilities for various operations, like check and payment processing. I've got a feeling that there is going to be some serious head rolling when all this goes down.
Of course, sensible people would just move away from a place where that cold white shit falls on the ground every year, but you can't trust some people to be sensible, now can you?
Could it actually be a secondary side effect? That because someone is asthmatic, they're more likely to engage in more mentally stimulating activities, due to the fact that physical stimulation is off limits?

The 360 also has 2 usb ports for wired controllers.

Space is at a premium on a carrier. I don't think that would really be an option for a quite probably large piece of equipment.
Or maybe he just likes debate, etc, and thus wants to go into a field where argument is pretty much mandatory.
Who would want to wait hundreds, if not thousands of years for beer? Now, if you had, say, an ocean of beer, that would be different.

Yeah, because disk corruption issues are unheard of on the mac.
Like always, real life is much more hilarious than PA.
Still quite expensive. Anaheim's similar network is 20-30% cheaper, and it covers about the same area at this point.

Software guy: Hey, I wrote this new software, but you can't use it, so neener neener
Military type: Who gives a shit about your petty solution. We've got much better software to do that kind of shit.
Software guy: Oh...

They have prepaid cards as well. Anonymous, no way of tracing.

Smart people live near the areas it snows, so they can visit it, and then when they get tired of it, head an hour away to where it doesn't snow.
