Er and of course as you said, there is no fucking paper in Texas, so it's all a moot point. "Thank you for wasting your time with my stupid UI. Your vote will not be counted."
Same here, Texas. But the paper isn't there to verify that your vote was recorded, since it could just print that and not record it; it's there to be held in a ballot box so that a recount can be done with the paper printouts.
But electronic voting is total fucking bullshit. Electronic devices to help people fill out the physical paper forms, fine. Electronic devices to then count said forms, fine. But not to do it all.
I'm way ahead of you. On my filesystem... well let's just say I've got hundreds of thousands of filenames reserved for me, for when my drive becomes popular.
One BIG exception: laws against speeding are (at least in theory) about public safety. Laws against copyright infringement are about... well now they're about corporate profit.
In an economy where knowledge, software, and creative work is paid for, you do have to have some legal protection for those works. Despite what some may wish, this isn't a Brave GNU World where everything is free as in give it all away. People want paychecks.
What about being paid for your labor, as plumbers, carpenters, cashiers, etc. are? They get paychecks without requiring anyone to police and ensure they paid over and over for the same work.
You can verify that your online payments are working properly, and raise hell if something is going wrong on their end. All parties can keep each other in check. How can you verify that your vote was even counted?

When the Federal Reserve prints (or equivalent) and loans out ANY money, the new money gets its value by diluting the value of ALL the money, thus stealing value from the money already out there.
So it's kind of like when the cracker steals 1 cent from every bank account, only this effectly steals x cents from every dollar out there, paper, metal, or in a computer?
I wouldn't touch something that uses even the most recent versions of "SecureGrip" with a 10-foot pole
I think it can tell the difference between a 10-foot pole and the owner's palm, unless the owner is a pirate with a hook hand (which, according to the MAFIAA, has been on the rise lately).
Read carefully; they're cooling temperature itself! Not just cooler matter, but cooler temperature. This is a major breakthrough. Before you know it, they'll be able to achieve faster speeds, longer lengths, smaller sizes, and deeper depths.
I have to mock this comment. Backup is not a preventative. It is a form of redundancy. Nothing is stopping that system from losing the main and backup volumes and completely losing your data. Backups simply allow you to recover after a SINGLE volume failure.
Using the same failure rate figures as the article, you WILL get an unrecoverable read error each and every time you back up your 12 TB of data. You will be able to recover from the single block failure because of the RAID 5 setup.
Isn't this assuming that you read all 12 TB of data each time you back up? If you're on'y copying changed/new files, you should be reading lots less.

Better than receiving one for -$327.68.

Not the original laws, but the massive perversions are there because of the parasites that grew around them.

Sounds like vaporware to me.

And how does you voting by mail ensure that EVERYONE'S votes are counted properly?

That kills my infinite storage device patent. It simply stored content and then a link to itself. Oh well.
So you're going to buy lots of paper, pencils, and boxes?
If the robots are following the uncooperative person, I'd say that is exactly what's already happening.
And if you add some numbers and letters, it becomes a quiz to match them up correctly:
I have to agree, your solution of blue dyed water is brilliant!

They work especially well for buying/selling votes.
