Yes, there is. You are a conspiracy theorist. Stop posting.
Thank you for that most informative reply. Since I proposed no conspiracy theories; I merely pointed out an inconvenient truth, and you obviously are too lazy to bother logging in or perhaps setting up an account I shall feel free to ignore you!
Oh and if you intended to be funny, you missed that also.
I can't believe the over reaction here. Does anyone actually know what a legal alias is? she used an alias to create an account for purposes other than the legal ones provided in the TOS. This is NOT a legal alias. If you were to do that I would expect you to be prosecuted also.
The mass of ignorance on Slashdot must be getting close to critical. God help me I don't know everything but at least I try to find out what the situation is before I post. I'm not always successful.
You mean the fact that Slashdot just logged your info when you left this message. Your ISP logged your connection to the server and your browser has logs of where you just visited. Good luck with that.
Actually it looks like you get more bang for your buck this way. You get several shapes at a time instead of one. Possibly faster if the shape you need is a right twist or mirror of the current one. It quickly goes beyond my understanding past that point.
I appreciate your enthusiasm but that list contains not one single cure. Only prevention that is about 97% effective. Most also require booster shots to keep the protection active. If you actually contract one of those diseases we can make you as comfortable as possible and let it run it's course. But there are no cures.
Pharms get paid for each person that receive those inoculations as well.
Face it there is NO Financial incentive to cure a disease if you can make drugs to treat it.
Nearly every single post on here complaining about how much Apple charges to upgrade their products sound like sour grapes.
You bash Apple for every little thing you think is an insult to the tech community and still don't buy the products. If you don't buy what they have why complain, if you do buy them educate yourself and don't pay the premiums.
Apple puts out pretty clear instructions on how to do this stuff yourself, even to the extent that they label them "User Upgradable Components". I think that Apple has a pretty good racket going if they can charge what they charge.
I use Apple products at home, but I program Windows at work. Windows frustrates both me and my users but it's what we have to use and it works for our purposes. At home I can get rid of some of the frustration (there are a few different frustrations but not nearly as bad as with Windows). I upgrade my own memory and hard disks etc.
The other thing I noticed is that in order to buy a windows PC at a really good price I go to say Fry's Electronics or Best Buy and I have to already know what I need to know or I get pushed by the salesman to buy whatever he gets the best commission on that week. At the Apple Store I get a salesman that actually knows something about the product and has been trained by Apple to do this. He may still try to sell me more than I need but generally this has not been the case.
I trained to be an Apple Certified Technician for a job I had with an Apple retailer, and this was not cheap. The certificate costs quite a bit and the tests are pretty tough. So by adding value you are assured that most of the people that touch your Mac/iPod etc. are trained well enough to actually do the job.
The environment is not up to a vote and never will be. The environment will do as it pleases we have little to no affect on it presently. We must either die or adapt, no other choices exist. Now adapting may mean taking steps to mitigate natures own way of cleaning out the biological closet, or it may just mean we figure out how to live with much less land for a few centuries. I don't know why so many people are up in arms, when we have been able to live in inhospitable environments for centuries. Climate change means you change the types of food you grow for a while. We are smart enough to figure out how to feed ourselves we did it in the past. Corporations will exist for a while yet but they will become less and less relevant as civilization falls apart. I plan to be one of the first to invent weapons of mass protection so that when we all start having to fend for ourselves we'll be ready. Hey living on a boat won't be so bad either. The only certainty is we will have to adapt. Just remember to hold on to a little piece of land so that a couple of years from now when we live in water world we'll remember what it looked like!
Yes that was when I was in college and they tried to discourage that kind of thing. It happened none the less. Later when I finally got into the industry about '76 or '77 we made the band printers play actual tunes "Happy Birthday" being the favorite. Didn't know we were violating copyright then.
Back in the day when we had band printers we would program the hammer banks to play tunes. Must have been around 1977 or 1978 or so. When the needle based printers came out we got even more tones out of them and we could play some really cool stuff. Since I worked for the printer manufacturer it was easy to make slight mods to the ROMS to make music even easier. None of that stuff ever shipped deliberately though. I've heard tales going back even farther that they could make drum memory sing.
Actually he is consulting experts on formal software development, he just didn't mean to include YOU!
Your sig is completely incorrect and closely resembles your idea of an intron!
Excuse me, how do you find links? Asking people who are most likely to know seems a perfectly natural way to do research. Get off your high horses people.
He didn't ask you to spoon feed it to him, he just asked for pointers. Obviously you have nothing to offer so why did you bother to post!
I've never seen so many asshats in my life complaining about how he does his research.
At this stage you need to put tamper tape over all USB/SD/PC card/floppy slots AND regularly check them for tampering. Many states that use e-voting systems mandate the use of tamper tape per the Maryland guidance, but fall down on checking it. Poll judges should check the tamper tape every 2 hours at a minimum, and decommission any machine that shows any evidence of tampering. This of course removes all machines from service since by their existence we have evidence of tampering.
There is one machine I know that uses SD cards which can be preloaded with negative votes. No evidence of tampering during the election and all your counts are perfect. No way to detect without effective paper trails and redundant counting.
Fuck that. The poll workers are the ones most likely to commit fraud. NEVER trust them. Have your people watch them at every step.
Anyone who doesn't think that is the case in his precinct is more than welcome to step away from his busy day of posting on Slashdot and volunteer to work the polls.
And many of us WILL be volunteering to do just that. I've been a poll inspector in Los Angeles county for at least three maybe four years now and I kind of resent being the one that you think most likely to commit fraud. It's not really that easy to do and the precincts are small enough that the poll workers themselves can't have a huge affect anyway. You speak without any knowledge of what you say and if you have never worked the polls I suggest you kindly shut the fuck up.
I'd like to see a system where the computer accepts your input, verifies the integrity of your ballot (e.g. you haven't selected more than one person in the same race, etc.) and prints out the ballot you'll be casting for you to see. Having approved it, but without being allowed to touch it, the ballot is dropped into the box and also added to a matching electronic tally.
When the polls close, the two totals should match. Just to be sure, we select a small percentage of the devices at random and verify the two totals do indeed match by manually counting the paper ballots. Devices that have statistically different results from their adjacent devices would also be automatically hand verified. Finally, we give each party a set number of devices that they can choose to have included in the manual recount.
Given this statistical sampling, we'd have timely and verifiable results while only needing to count on the order of 1% of the actual ballots.
Given that each tally in each machine is preloaded with a negative number of votes for just the right candidates you would never detect this anomaly and we would have a nicely fixed election.
Thanks, I'll take old fashioned paper. It's harder to hack and easier to catch them at hacking it. And in a recount you have actual ballots and signatures to count.
Well you need to be as far from the pad as you can get. Remaining uninjured is always a goal in life. Your sentence does not connect the two nearly as well as you might believe.
I stopped reading anything on CNET long ago. The pandering to advertisers and anti-anythingMSHates was way too much to stomach. Besides as an apple fan boy they were way too anti Apple for my tastes. Oh and their "journalists" didn't seem to bother doing research at all.
Neat attitude. I'd rather bring down the government than let someone die that could have been saved. Governments collapse all the time why is that a bad thing.
Um your signature has a grammatical error that makes it rather ironic.
It should read "smarter THAN you"
And there is nothing in the bible that is raunchy except some descriptions of violence that is rather graphic. It's been hashed over so many times that the it's been pretty sanitized by now.
Hey solve the whole problem, never ever sell a book to anyone under 18. Since books are so dangerous. Let's see how well that flies. Can we get together and put some people on the legislature in Oregon that will push this through. I mean it's a modest proposal after all.

Clinton should have been impeached for lying under oath He was. Next suggestion?
Sort of like Congress is now in contempt of the people for not pressing all the other impeachable offenses committed by this white house?

Wow, a whole new level of paranoia. No the Unions can't demand that yet. I don't think they will. They just don't have the power they used to have.
