So do we sue the supermarket for selling him food? Your argument would not likely sway a court. We will see how ALS does. The Law will allow you to go after people that help other people commit crimes. Aiding and abetting? Co-Conspirator.
The Internet does not shield you from the law. People have been trying to work around the law for 1000's of years.
Hitler was a vegetarian therefore vegetarianism is anti-semitic.
Some of these "password requirements" actively force weaker passwords, in that they enforce a maximum length! I've seen some that force a 12 character maximum, making the xkcd 4 common word technique unusable, especially since they often stupidly require mixed case and a numeric and a special char.
My personal favorite was the bank that required my password to have exactly one number, at least one upper case character and exactly one special character. With a maximum length of 8 characters.
It sounds even worse than the CEO I worked for who would put entire paragraphs of text into the subject line of her emails... to be 'more efficient'. Some peoples email clients couldn't display them.
The AEC, Australian Electoral Commission, is held at arms length from the ruling party government. It requires an act of parliament to change any of the rules and given the make-up of the Australian government it would be very difficult for one party to pass rules that favour them over the other.
In addition there is a 3 person body which consists of either a current or retired federal judge, a statistician and the current head of the AEC. They are charged with the management of the process and oversight of the AEC to ensure accuracy of the election.
It's worth noting though that there is a huge difference in attitude between Australia and the US at election time. Australia doesn't have the rallies or the level of energy that the US has around an election. I just can't imagine people trying to block others from voting here.
Yeah sorry, you put all that work into your response but I wasn't thinking about how its done in Aussie, rather how it might be implemented in the USA.
I don't think there is a Republican party in Aus who might want to stop blacks and hispanics from voting
That post is not entirely wrong. Viral loads in mid-latitude waters correlate with bacterial load in many cases. Testing for bacterial load is cheaper, which is why that's frequently done. However, the bacterial load tends to be lower in tropical and in salty waters. There isn't a lot of bacteria in the water around Rio. However, it isn't necessarily an indicator of a corresponding low viral load under the conditions in Rio. Bacterial infections really are pretty unlikely, but viral infections are a more realistic concern.
Not sure if this is related but viruses do live a lot longer on cold surfaces than warm. Thats why you get a 'flu season'. The chemical reactions which would break down the viral casing is retarded in cold conditions.
Yes. They will come and pick you up and take you to a polling station. Or if you are unable to travel for health or other reasons they will come to you.
If they did that in the US you can bet the Republicans would ensure this skipped black and hispanic areas!
Just go compulsory voting. If you are on the register you must vote. If you want to argue that you should have the right to not vote then turn up, get your name crossed off and draw a giant dick and balls on the ballot sheet.
If you want to have electronic voting have an option that says "I do not wish to vote, so register my vote as informal, this means my vote will not count" and make them hit through 5 are you sures.
If everyone has to vote it makes impersonating someone else really really hard as those people have to vote as well. As soon as the same person gets marked off you have problems.
And free transport to the polling station for the compulsory voting is provided, right?
LOL.. yeah, "social pariah." Goes to show just how far down the rabbit hole you've gone. why don't you try stepping away from the screen once in a while. Join a club. Volunteer. 95% of your "friends" on facebook are anything but that.
The CEO of a company I once worked at remarked at a social event that some famous person was a friend. I said to her "You mean you actually know her or they are a name on a list on a social networking site?". She sheepishly said "Facebook". I didn't get fired.
In the USA? Are you kidding? A place where parents can't leave their kids in a car 5 minutes while they run an errand? Can't let their kids play in a park next to their home? Can't let a 14 year old stay at home by themselves for an hour before parent gets home from work?
Wasn't Donna Rice Hughes the chick that was screwing the married Senator Gary Hart? I remember her. She was screwing a married man. Let me guess: she is a Born Again Christian? Christians would be funny if they weren't so harmful and pathetic.
Christianity is a religion of peace and tolerance!
in Britain should be freaking out about the brexit.
As a convinced European I find it highly amusing that the main "leave" campaign guys are now running away and officially stating that they have no idea what they actually planned (Yeah, we heavily lied in order to get you to approve a plan which we don't have, because it does not make any deeper sense).
I hope that the EU gives them choice between coming back without any special status, joining the Euro and the Schengen zone or remaining in "splendid isolation". In case of the latter: not terrible for the rest of the EU - one competitor is gone, and in 30 years there will be a new developing country with cheap labor.
The thing is I can kind of understand why this has happened; the *English*, overall, never liked to think of themselves as being part of something bigger than themselves. They always feel more comfortable being the big deal. Thats why they always demanded special status in the EU. Thats why they had the Empire. Thats why they had the British Commonwealth (they weren't *part* of the British Commonwealth; they WERE the British Commonwealth and all the other nations were *seen* as just hangers on, not even really independent. Now its the Commonwealth of Nations and I bet they are not so interested in it any more).
Even within the United Kingdom, the English don't like to see themselves as part of something bigger than themselves; even within that context they like to see themselves as THE big thing and Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland are just 'hangers on'.
This is beautifully illustrated by the voting patterns in the Brexit referendum; Scots and Northern Irish and the more Welsh parts of Wales voted to remain. (The rest of Wales is just too dominated by the English, I bet they still refer to themselves as 'Welsh', which comes from a Saxon word for 'foreigner'. Yes, the Welsh are foreigners in their own land).

So in your example every landlord who happens to rent an apartment to a thief should be charged with aiding and abetting?
What about the person who sold the thief groceries? Or clothes? Are they aiding and abetting too?
yeah... in the USA thats going to be civil forfeiture for 'proceeds of crime'.
So do we sue the supermarket for selling him food?
Your argument would not likely sway a court.

FTFY - "the viral casing is break down challenged in cold conditions."
phew, at least I didn't describe the virii as 'window lickers'

You can also request a postal vote which is delivered to you and comes in a reply paid envelope.
Oh thats ok then. No possible opportunities for coerced voting there at all. Nope.
Just go compulsory voting. If you are on the register you must vote. If you want to argue that you should have the right to not vote then turn up, get your name crossed off and draw a giant dick and balls on the ballot sheet.

Local police in Canada
"Local" police from another freakin country.
Don't worry; Trump will annex Canada.
You got that wrong. If your wife is lazy but not very intelligent, then high intelligence isn't a requirement for laziness.
I could go into that further, but I'm too lazy.
Clearly me too! So glad we are all geniuses.
Soon we will have to start mining asteroids. Then the other planets. Then we'll have to start harvesting the dust between the planets.
Unless we develop technology to go through our Alderson point and survive the exit from the other Aldeson point thats in the atmosphere of a star.
So what exactly will be gained going through your fictional Alderson point? Self immolation?
Thats why I said technology to ... survive the exit. Us Moties have to expand y'know!
Yeah but then we just wind up spending a shitload of resources keeping those god damned moties sequestered within their own solar system.
You got it the wrong way around; WE are the Moties!
Soon we will have to start mining asteroids. Then the other planets. Then we'll have to start harvesting the dust between the planets.

Maybe someone will come up with a HOSTS file solution? Do you think it is possible? Nah...
Shouldn't be too hard.
Start with a hosts file entry like:

and nearly done!!

Being Lazy Is a Sign of High Intelligence, Study Suggests
But not a requirement for high intelligence. Otherwise my wife should be a genius.
No, only Americans have the right to live the American dream. I'm living the Canadian dream myself, which is only for Canadians.
Yeah, your national anthem even starts with 'My home and NATIVE land' so clearly its only intended for people actually born in Canada eh.
There's a reason Seattle companies are so successful, and it isn't because we're lazy.
Because employees can only enjoy decent internet connectivity at the office so they spend more time actually at work?
It seems like a program where they are given free weed and video games would do great things for recidivism rates.
With a 78% recidivism rate in the USA it seems anything could help!
Parental responsibility?
In the USA? Are you kidding? A place where parents can't leave their kids in a car 5 minutes while they run an errand? Can't let their kids play in a park next to their home? Can't let a 14 year old stay at home by themselves for an hour before parent gets home from work?

It was a bluff to get more from the EU. Unfortunately their own people called it.
This.
What a way to shoot yourself in the foot!
