The vote is in the BlockChain itself. Here is how you do it.
Go to polling station. They check your name off the rolls (you voted), and you get your token (drawn by lots). You vote, the token you have records the vote and inserts it into the BlockChain. Polling machines count the Blockchain. You keep a record of the token, and can view the entire blockchain and read if your vote was recorded correctly at anytime.
Nobody knows which token you have. Nobody knows which blockchain contains your vote (except you) You can verify that your vote was recorded correctly. And everyone can see if the votes were tallied correctly.
It is much more secure than what is happening now, in all sorts of precincts. The Hanging Chad issue in Florida was evidence of vote tampering. It is almost impossible for a hanging chad to happen on properly tuned machines with single ballots. It is almost always possible when trying ballot stuffing, which is why they used punch based voting in Florida in the first play (trying to avoid ballot stuffing). But you won't find any of the (R) or (D) complaining, because they both do it and to expose the other is kind of like mutually assured destruction nuclear war.
Wal-Mart managers calling staff into meetings telling them in not-so vague terms that failure to vote Republican will cost them their jobs is not fine.
Union Organizers calling union members into meetings telling them in not-so vague terms that failure to vote Democrat will cost them their jobs is not fine.
Right, that was my point. Complaining about Wal-Mart and not about Unions doing the same thing is typical of the politically correct liberals. They always claim "I didn't say anything about Unions", which is technically correct. For every complaint about Wal-Mart doing it, they should speak out equally about Unions doing it. The problem is, they don't. Ever.
Once I understood that "Metro" was "Start Menu on Steroids" Win 8.1 Update became much more usable. Now, and start typing "word" and it launches WORD etc. makes it very usable. I almost never see "Metro" because I actually took the time (five minutes) to set it up.
If that vendor redirects them to cnet, then that is where they should download the software from.
Um, that is exactly the opposite of what I tell them. CNET is so riddled with crapware, that if anyone needs something that can only be found there, it is not good. PERIOD.
If you find yourself at CNET, for any reason, LEAVE and call me. Yeah, it is that bad, and probably worse. The price you pay to de-crappify your computer is not worth whatever crap you're getting from CNET. Pay for legitimate software, it is cheaper, trust me.
He didn't. But then again, that is only half the problems. No liberal ever criticizes the unions and blacks voting lockstep for DNC candidates, even when the DNC proves they don't care about blacks or workers anymore than GOP does. The difference is the DNC lies about their indifference, see Keystone Pipeline for details.
Of course, you haven't seen where Democrats say a person is racist simply because they don't like Mexican food. It is all fine and good fun, but both (D) and (R) have enough people saying stupid things that neither should be throwing rocks while standing in their glass houses.
many of us don't want the government to "get things done"
Most people are libertarians, and see government intruding every chance they get. The fact that they continue to vote for the two parties marching us down the same path to tyranny is beyond me. The problem is, most of these same people also say "there ought to be a law" without considering how these will impact everyone's liberties. Politicians love to stir up the passions of the people with "assault rifle" or "Terrorist" language and impose new restrictions on liberty in the name of security.
Walmart saying "vote Republican" is bad, but Unions and Race Baiters saying "vote Democrat" is good? Why? These two things are exactly the same damn thing, and yet Left wingers think they are not.
And don't tell me that Democrats are the lessor of two evils, because in my book, the are the same kind of evil, just sometimes dressed better.
And you are wrong. Once inserted into the blockchain, and since it is recored, it will be counted. Short of someone on the inside of the computer coded, secretly inserting miscounts (which become statistical anomalies) it would assure correct and accurate counts.
12 Dead Journalists refute your whole point. The cry of "we have avenged the prophet" refute your points. The dancing in the streets by thousands, hundreds of thousands of Muslims refute your whole point. Muslim Imams issuing FATWAS against people that write books and color cartoons is a refutation of your point.
IMHO actions speak louder than your protestations. I
I mean, I could give example after example of the "Peaceful" religion doing horrible things, in the name of Allah, and for the "prophet", but I am pretty sure that you'll take each one as a "unique" and "lone" example, and not a representation of the whole. So, do you claim "hate speech" when people say that WBC represents all Christians? I didn't think so.
You and your hate speech do not speak for "Western cultures." Don't tell us what we want or need, you aren't us and you don't know.
Here is all the evidence I need to prove you don't know what values Western Culture likes. My speech, you deem it "Hate" and are immediately trying to shut it down, based on your own views. Western Societies value diversity of viewpoints, and even "hate" speech. Why? Because even "hate" speech is completely subjective. You "hate" is not my "hate".
I value liberty above all, but when threatened by those that do not value liberty, I will stand and declare "Give me liberty or give me death". Of course, many (too many if you ask me) Muslims are too happy to try to take both, And I will stand and defy them and resist their own "hate".
As for religious freedom? Islam does not tolerate religious freedom, when they kill millions of Christians in Africa simply because they are Christian. And those same views are preached in just about every mosque. Political Correctness is going to kill us all. Please remember, the point of this whole thread is because a couple Muslims were so "offended" (hurt feelings) that they targeted people who create cartoons. And if this was the first time this ever happened, we might be able to call it a fluke. But it isn't, and the dancing in the streets of hundreds of thousands of Muslims indicate that it isn't all that rare.
I'm not gonna go out and murder Muslims, but I will ask them to leave. They don't have to live here, and are free to leave.
What I find chilling is the liberal mentality that every problem can be solved by taxing people and setting up a "program" or whatever to solve said problem.
Cobert is a comedian. Let me know when he interviews a liberal and makes fun of the dingbat ideas liberals come up with, like...Jerry Brown's High Speed Rail train. Until then, he is just a biased guy trying to make fun of people he disagrees with. I don't find him funny or insightful.
What you claim Islam teaches and how a million Muslims live, every day, in the USofA... well there seems to be a disconnect there.
No disconnect. They are already demanding Sharia law in the US. And people like you will evidently give it to them under the guise of political correctness. After all, you don't want to Offend a Muslim, or he might cut your head off or shoot you while you're in a meeting.
You can't tell me that shit isn't gonna happen, as it already happened, and will continue to happen. Because the fact remains, Western values are not valued by Muslims.
Here are some interesting articles, about Muslim sensibilities in the US.
Muslims are already being emboldened, and pressing for changes. Changes counter to the most liberal of sensitivities. However, it is blind political correctness that is allowing most liberals to cede their ideals in the name of tolerance. And heck, even newspapers are refusing to run the same cartoons that got twelve people killed, simply because they are scared of the results.
The fact is, our culture has been changed by radical Islam, because we no longer feel safe criticizing it. And there aren't enough "good" muslims protesting the supposedly "radical" few.
One person, acting alone, is not a culture of violence. Your overly simplistic view is really adorable, but completely useless.
The fact is, one has repeatedly and often had people of its faith killing for no reason other than they are "offended" by western cultural ideals, and the other is a single person killing an abortion doctor. But curiously you said "Terrorism and murder are no more, or less, justified by any particular religious belief." Terrorism and murder do not require religion, as in the case of the Abortion doctor. Just because murder is legal, and you have dehumanized the victims of abortion (fetal tissue).
Hurting other people because you changed your mind at the last second of your pregnancy is kinda the very definition of bat-shit crazy.
It is really easy to demonize people, especially if you dehumanize them. And that makes murder all the more easy for those that kill others.
If you remain silent, because of fear, they have already won.
Fear = Fight or Flight. I pity those that choose flight, but we should let them leave. However, we shouldn't let those cowering in fear dictate our response, simply because their choice is borderline irrational. Neither should we allow the kneejerk response from the "fight" crowd.
Here is my view:
1) Islam, is not a peaceful religion. There is no major Muslim outcry over any of the acts committed by Muslims. I didn't say there was none, I said there was no major outcry.
2) Islam, does take offense at things that Western Culture deems acceptable for the purposes of liberty, even tasteless crude humor. Muslims in general haven not expressed any desire to curb their rhetoric.
3) Islam doesn't teach co-existence, it teaches domination.
Therefore, for these reasons (and more) I have concluded that as it stands right now, Islam is not compatible with Western culture. Flat out not possible. I have NO problem with Muslims staying and living in their own countries, where they can fight and have all the intolerance they want. However, people who want to come to western countries, and still be Muslim, need to realize that their cultural antics will not be accepted at all, as they are contrary to western culture.
Western cultures do no need Islam. We don't want Islam. We don't like Islam. Muslims need to go back the their asswipe countries in the desert and stay there.
Well, to be honest, having lived in California the liberal bastion of taxing everything for the benefit of the government and just about nobody else, I would classify the alternative as "Tax everyone into indentured servitude of the state, including grandma and force her out on the streets. She will be eaten by ants anyway, but we won't have pictures".
The reality of liberalism is that they think taxes are a right of government and a good thing, rather than what they really are, a necessary evil.
This just in/. user doesn't understand long term history of the those involved. They "slandered" the prophet many many times. It just took a while to organize the assault.

Yeah, the system is rigged.

I was simply rectifying the mistake.

Nothing like false equivocation.

You count the blockchain votes.
Thus all we need is permanent plausible deniablity.
AND, taking notes on our current President .... Here are the stages to avoiding any responsibility for anything:
"I found out about it the same time you did from the newspaper"
"I am angry and am going to get to the bottom of it"
"There is not a smidgeon of evidence..."
"It is just a right wing conspiracy"
"Phony Scandal"
"Golf!"
????
"Profit"

And we all know how that works out in the end.
The problems you describe, are not related to the security of the blockchain. That is actually a different issue altogether (see bitcoin cartels)
Walmart saying "vote Republican" is bad, but Unions and Race Baiters saying "vote Democrat" is good? Why? These two things are exactly the same damn thing, and yet Left wingers think they are not.

Republicrats and Demicans are just about the same. Pretending otherwise is childish. Both create laws to protect their buddies.
