I'm not sure you understand what the word "theory" means in science. I'll give you a hand. From (eeek) Wikipedia:
"In scientific usage, a theory does not mean an unsubstantiated guess or hunch, as it can in everyday speech. A theory is a logically self-consistent model or framework for describing the behavior of a related set of natural or social phenomena."
"Theories" are built upon "Facts". "Intelligent Design" does not even reach the level of a "Theory" because it is not based upon facts, but mere conjecture.
Yeah, the machines are delivered the day before election day to the polling places (firehalls, schools, etc) by moving companies. Election Judges swear oaths enforceable under rule of law. Moving companies or anyone else who happens to wander in to where the machines have been left, well, no (but you don't have to swear an oath to be found guilty of tampering with election materials, of course).
I work as an "Election Judge" every election (they used to call them "Poll Workers". Each year the county hires hundreds of average people, gives them a couple hours of training, and they are the ones who set up the machines, check for ID's, handle the list of registered voters, etc.
Me, I'm a "Machine Judge." I get to the polling area in the morning of the election, the machines are already there, unassemblede. I check the seals, and set up the machines, activate the machines for the voters during the day, get the results out of it at night, take the results to a central location.
Low paying? Not where I live. I get $250.00 for the couple hours training and working on election day at one precinct, which is not bad.
It's well looking into. Take a paid vacation day, get $250 over that, and be the one who protects the democratic process (at least at the precinct you are at).
They need geeks who are computer literate. You should see some of the geezers try to set up those voting machines. It's sad.
"If enough is known about how the malware is behaving to know that it is suspicious, [we will] fingerprint the file and send it in the cloud to AvertLabs so we can look at it, provide people a piece of protection and send it immediately back to them," explained Marcus. "We've been analyzing malware for a long time so we know how it acts."
Send it "in the cloud". WTF does that mean? "Internet" maybe. What a sales drone.
"Send it immediatly back". WTF does that mean. I guess their version of "immediate" means "after a human has dissected the malware, we will patch it using 'the cloud'"
I am not seeing anything new here, except that they brag that their wares sends info about your machine back to their 'labs' for analysis and future patches.
Ha ha ha ha hah. Man, I am glad I am not this dude. You don't even JOKE about that shit.
OK, you'll PROBABLY be OK. But my advice is, for the next month or so, don't do anything or be anywhere you would not want to have appear in court, because you have, BY DEFINITION OF THE LAW, given them probable cause to JACK YOUR ASS UP AT WILL.
They've got a lot of bad press for their pollution. So, like any bureaucracy, they come up with an idiotic solution.
"Do we clean up our country?" No. "Well, what do we do?" Ok, we make a big press release, about a city we will do which will be greener than all. "Sweet."
Yep. After I got pulled aside at the Canadian border and given the third degree and finally let through after four hours, I was told by friends NEVER to tell the Canadian border guards you are a software engineer. That is a sure way to get pulled aside for further questioning. They don't want illegal foreign coders taking Canadian jobs or something.
Should be interesting. Barak's got to say something about this decision. It's almost required and were he to say nothing about that decision, well, that would kind of go against his 'openness' and 'change' thing.
There are millions of (especially) rural Democrats who support gun rights. Should be a real tightrope act to avoid pissing off a large part of the electorate no matter no matter which way he goes on this issue.
These images show sublimation of ice in the trench informally called "Dodo-Goldilocks" over the course of four days.
Oh really? No qualification there? No "this appears to be sublimation of ice" but a definite "this is a picture of ice"? The dumbing down of the net is officially complete.
Or, you could pretend to be one of the outraged customers, and "Reply All". You could go,
"Hey, XYZ Corporation, you dumb fucks, you just gave out my email address to the world. Are you that careless with my other business particulars? I'll be canceling my account tomorrow. Nitwit."
I totally agree. Put up some art that is pleasing to the eye. Something that shows some taste and is interesting. Nothing is more annoying than looking at art in a professional atmosphere that tries too hard to be 'relevant' or 'thematic'.
Put up a Monet. A Japanese calligraphy or a landscape. I like architectural sketches, too, which shows design, thought, construction, and the combination of art and engineering. But for god's sake, give Escher a break, people.
I'm on a diet, and I go to McDonalds all the time. The 6 piece McNuggets, at 250 calories, is a perfect snack. It's all I order there, and it puts the hunger back to sleep for quite a while.
So what. Why does anyone pay attention to MADD? They have many times demonstrated they are out of their minds, so why do people continue to care what they have to say?
But when the count goes up, you signal the Big Player to come in. They place a large bet-- something that would seem suspicious if YOU put it down, but is normal for him. He only bets that amount and doesn't vary.
Except that most casinos won't let you do that any more. New players can only join the game on a new shuffle.
If you sound so bad you need a studio to make you look good, you shouldn't be performing in the first place.
Wow, how parochial.
There are bands whose very sound was defined by the studio, and whose sound is very intentionally pristine and over produced. Impossible to create anywhere outside the studio (I'm thinking Steely Dan).
Then there are artists who do entire albums, with them playing every instrument (Steve Winwood comes to mind). Again, impossible outside of a studio.
Slashdot Mirror
is obviously blurred
Zoom in a bit from there, and it's totally obvious.
So, in other words, when they gave you too much money and you knew it, you kept it.
Which would make you a petty thief.
It never ceases to amaze me how little it takes to make some people lose any sense of morality.
'bout time they put some Steely Dan in there. But "Do It Again"? feh.
"Reelin' in the Years" would have been the far better choice. Classic, fun to play riffs all OVER that tune. Maybe next time.

That's pretty much SOP around the country.

Make it so!

PGP has its own random number generator
It makes it impossible to hear announcements over the PA.
You say that like it's a bad thing. I have NEVER heard ANYTHING said on an airliner's PA system which made one whit of difference to me.
When people begin making peace with their maker, I'll know it might be time to ask what was just said, though.

Yeah, it's OK, but it's not 500$ more OK. I just get good and liquored up at the airport bar just before boarding and save $450.
