"Given how unpopular Trump is with half the nation" Trouble is Clinton is equally unpopular, perhaps even more so than Trump
No not really Clinton is ahead by http://www.usatoday.com/story/... 2 million votes, as of Nov 23, so she is not more unpopular. Equally in terms of statistics it is a dead heat, but don't make somehow one is more unpopular than the other
If State A has the worst voter fraud in the country, then the effects of said fraud are limited within their borders. If there is no electoral college, then the effects of fraudulent votes in State A for Candidate X is that they will now start cancelling out votes for Candidate Y in other states. LBJ would have loved nothing more than to get rid of the electoral college.
Look at Virginia allowing felons to vote.
Getting rid of the electoral college is a fool's errand.
You are assuming there is voter fraud to an extent that can influence an election. This has been proven false numerous times, Please stop propagating lies.
This is a BS summary saying that they have pagers that get alerts telling operators to check things that's basically nuclear fear mongering. Which is basically all mdsolar ever writes as a story. It's to the point where I know who wrote it just by looking at the headline.
This. So much. It baffles me the number of stories of FUD about nuclear power that mdsolar gets published here. I am not sure who is promoting and publishing their stories but you are right...see the headline, guess that mdsolar wrote it and then confirm via the rest of the text.
NEGLIGENCE. The omission to do something which a reasonable man, guided by those considerations which ordinarily regulate the conduct of human affairs, would do. or doing something which a prudent and reasonable man would not do. It must be determined in all cases by reference to the situation and knowledge of the parties and all the attendant circumstances.
Hillary's email server was secured the same way that the "reasonable predecessor (aka C. Powell https://www.engadget.com/2016/...)" used. While you can say that slashdot users know better, average joe blow or a braindead politician would not know how to secure an email server, so by definition of law there is no negligence here.
How long will it be before someone sets up a PokeStop or Pokemon gym or whatever it is that causes people to congregate at a location and plants a bomb there? Or just messes with people by planting a rare Pokemon inside some sacred temple like the Kaaba?
Oh thats right, we should all go back indoors and forget that there is a real world out there. Its terrible that we have become so insulated and fearful of what could potentially happen that the first sign that we feel we can emerge from our darkened basements to see the outside (however augmented it may be) that someone screams chicken and wants us all back inside where its "safe". This is what the terrorists want. In fact this is what most governments want. They want and need a fearful populace so the leaders can implement more control over our lives. I say take back your freedom. Download Pokemon Go, Walk around and see your neighbourhood. Meet new friends and see that there is nothing to worry about, and stick it the the fear mongers.
Dude relax, Trump was the only one to fit the meme, that is all. And its funny, lighten up a bit.
As I read your comment again I almost see quite an insult here towards me. You have no idea of my ideology. I do have a post that I purposely wrote to provoke a reaction with Hilary as president, check it out, got rated as flamebait. It was a mistake. She doesn't reflect my views, and neither does Trump. None of the candidates or parties reflect my views. If I had mod points for you I would rate you as flamebait for your post. Whoever gets elected in the fall, the world is not going to end. Its hard to keep political discussions civil here, I'll keep it toned down cause this isn't the place. But I would suggest again to see some humour in things, Life is easier that way.
Donald Trump "was assigned to Gryffindor for his boldness -- but only with a 48 percent certainty."
Sorting Hat: Not Slytherin, eh? Are you sure? You could be great, you know. It's all here in your head. And Slytherin will help you on the way to greatness, there's no doubt about that. No?
Trump: Please, please. Anything but Slytherin, anything but Slytherin.
Sorting Hat: Well if you're sure, better be... GRYFFINDOR!
haha, This of course being/. I didn't even think of star trek bones, I was actually watching an episode of Bones where she thinks about running for President when I wrote that. She would probably be better than the real candidates.
If this guy actually got elected. We all hate the status quo, but give us something thats not going to throw everything up in the air, and ruin the country. None of the candidates are any good. How bout Bones for President?
You Americans will do anything to not elect a female president. Any person who gets to be POTUS is crooked, that is well known. The fact that Americas lingering misogynist society is coming out of the woodwork is a good thing. The more light on the Anti-Hillary bus the better. You need her as President, to 'break the glass ceiling' as it were. To make the majority of you folk realize that a woman can lead. I know a lot of you were upset with Obama. That was a good thing too. Two terms for a black president. Thats progress. Make the right choice again. If you fail to elect Hillary, well, Good luck in the Fall America. You were once Great. There will never be One like You again.
This just proves how far law enforcement thinks that can go to tread over the rights and civil liberties of citizens in their pursuit of 'catching the bad guys'. This will not end but it has to. If a patrol officer has the authority to seize your bank accounts based on suspicion, whats to say they can't seize any and all assets based on nothing more than a "gut feeling". There is no requirement of proof on the officers part. Justice has deteriorated in the US. Crime has dropped to all-time lows, yet the headlines scream that there are rampant criminals stealing and profiting from drugs, terrorism, arms, whatever fits the headline of fear mongering. It is not right.
When will the citizenry of the US wake up and take back the power that has been slowly bled away form them over the last 50 years?
Don't get me wrong, I want the cops to get the bad guys. But do it right, not slimy, not by taking away the rights of free people.
OMG anOTHER mdsolar anti nuc power piece. Given the preponderance of opinions on slashdot for being pro nuclear power, why does mdsolar get so much airtime?
"...the Global Challenges Foundation estimates the risk of human extinction... at 0.1 percent every year. That may sound low, but when extrapolated to century-scale it comes to a 9.5 percent chance of human extinction within the next hundred years."
So if we extrapolate out to 1000 years then? what 95% chance? or if we go to 2000 years then 190% chance of extinction? Man we're done for. This is big news!!
So this: "...Somewhat explains why this gentleman -- if he was indeed downloading copyright infringing content -- has been able to get away with all the torrenting he has done."
As of course the implication is that if you use data, it MUST be torrents of illegal material. This made me a bit upset. Why is it when someone uses data it must be illegal? There is plenty of free and non free content on the net that one could use and download in a day that could easily be over a terabyte. and ALL of it is legally obtained. Why the accusation?
Slashdot Mirror
This is my all time favourite.
will also finally be the year of Linux on the desktop.
sigh...
I for one welcome our new robotic overlords!
Bring on the Pizza!!

640,000 chickens should be enough for anyone.
Wouldn't it be 640KB(irds) should be enough for anyone?
Although there are some doubts if he really ever said that http://www.computerworld.com/a...
Ah modern memes.
How bout Bones for President?
The current political system? It's dead, Jim.

Its good to see new reactors come online, but I wish we had the balls to licence new reactor designs that are passively safe.

I doubt he has any. He is just using a combover from his ass.
You know it would actually be a comb-under
