If they're already having significant problems with goon squads (referenced from other posts) paid by candidates skewing election results how is this going to be worse? At least they're trying something new that might help with the problem, and should generate valuable information for the rest of the world to use on what to do and what not to do with electronic voting.
I'm just as native as a so called "native american". It's not like they evolved here, they migrated to North America from Asia via the land bridge just as my ancestors migrated here from Europe via boat.
So their ancestors came over longer ago, big deal. That doesn't change that fact that they are no more or less native than anyone else born here.
That's how our legal system works. The jury has the ultimate responsibility to decide whether a law is just or not and whether to convict.
It doesn't even matter if the prosecutor has shown guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. It's still the jury's decision to convict or not. And that descision can be based upon whether a law is just or not.
Exactly, it's called "jury nullification". Unfortunately as I understand it lawyers can't argue that defense or present it as an option to the jury.
Delete the SAM file, reboot the machine and the admininstrator password will be blank on W2K, I'd guess it would work on Win XP as well.
Easy to get in as long as you have physical access to the machine and a boot disk that will make the drive writeable.
WHY OH WHY do these folks have to RESTRICT access to these sites to people ONLY running IE?
Because they cover 95% of the market by using IE and would have to double, or more than double, their testing load to support all the other browsers. If you were running the company would you double your testing staff/time to maybe gain access to a few % more customers or would you spend the money on marketing and advertising to get more of the 95% to buy from you?
The large farming equipment my relatives use wouldn't even notice hitting a kangeroo. The article didn't say but any large scale farm uses BIG equipment, small animals - or people - wouldn't even cause a bump.
What sort of things could you glean from microsoft's trash using one of these programs. Any of the open-source crowd on here brave enough to find out? Could make for some amusing reading, those company memos.
Company memos at MS are sent via email so unless someone printed it and you happend to find that person's trash, out of the 20,000+ who work there, you won't find it in the trash.
In fact Microsoft really doesn't print all that much and tries to be as paperless as possible. Everyone brings laptops to meetings for notes so there isn't even that much hand written. Sure there's some, but not all that much.
You'd have better luck getting a job with the company they contract with to shred documents and get into those containers before the stuff is destroyed than by going through the trash.
It's cheaper for us to toss them in the woodstove and burn them. No extra cost for the shredder and no one is going to glue the remains to another piece of paper and scan anything.
I've heard the ships are coming in a future expansion pack.
Unfortunately MMORPG devs are infamous for promising all kinds of things "in the future" that either never arrive or take literally years to get in game. If you want SWG with ships I'd suggest waiting until they're in rather than getting the game now on some empty dev promise that they will be in...someday.
Any more, it seems they ruin perfectly good movies with excessive bad content. I mean, does nudity enhance the movie at all? It could be just as good of a movie and be rated PG.
Nudity? There was no more nudity than you can see on prime time broadcast TV. In fact NYPD Blue has shown more skin than T3.
That's a great set of guidelines, but the real test will be if they actually enforce the list.
DAoC had similar rules for naming on the role playing servers and it was great. It makes the game more enjoyable and immersive to NOT see all the dumbass "d00d" names on people.
Dark Age of Camelot shipped with very few flaws. Half of the SWG developers worked on Evercrack. There is no excuse for this game sucking at launch.
That's what people said about AC2 as well. They had years worth of AC1 experience and still mucked it up. Sadly it seems the MMORPG genre has become as commericalized as every other aspect of the software industry where it's better to be out early than later with higher quality.
Has there been anything published about people doing this in Seattle? In a newspaper/television? On a site like the one I linked?
As far as I know there has not been. At least I haven't seen anything about it. Today on Slashdot is the first I've heard of any organized way of doing this.
That's not to say people aren't doing it in an ad hoc sort of fashion, but I've never seen anything about it on the news or in the papers.
People already pay a premium for the use of interstates versus side roads - it is called a toll.
Not everywhere. Most states, especially most northern states west of the Mississippi don't have toll roads. Washington State doesn't have any that I know of, although some are proposed and 20 years ago there was a toll on one of the bridges. But toll roads are extremely rare in the Northwest states.
But I slept through a lot of my statistics class, so I don't know if this would work or not. But I did learn that statisticians have some powerful techniques at their disposal.
Considering we're talking about a government trying to get more money from something the tax payers have already paid for I'll respond with another famous quote:
Slugging in brief is using specific park and ride lots where random people need a ride and random people wanting to pick up riders to use the HOV lanes meet. You wait your turn in line and get in a car. It is a very established system that has been running and morphing for years.
From a security standpoint that sounds like a horrible idea. Has the state done any tracking on assaults, robberies, car jackings etc that start in the ride lots? Is there any controls on who can get in line and wait for a ride or is it open to anyone?
I'm not trolling, we have nothing like that in Washington.
If you're so worried, lobby that every manufacturer implement this system so everybody slows down at the same time and you don't have these 40 car pileups because people want to drive 80 mph in the fog
Any bets that this will be the case 20 years from now? All cars will have some kind of auto pilot, wether it's fully automated ("drive home car") or only partially where it controls the speed and you still steer.
Erm. Without my motherboard, I'm going to the store to buy another one and hook up my old hard drive to it.
That would be the old hard drive with the copyrighted material that got the first MB nukes, right? So you plug in the old HD, it says "hey, copyrighted material - bang, kill the MB". Vicious cycle.
Then do what I do. Refuse to use their service. My bank didn't allow me to use Mozilla on Linux, bye bye bank
He said it was his payroll service, not his bank. It's not like he can just tell the accounting department to "go use someone else" unless he's the CEO.
My company recently installed a time-reportin tool that requires Windows and IE, I still send my report card to a secretary since I don't have a computer with IE on it, it's either that or they can PAY me to come in in the evening to fill out those damn web-reports in IE, and I guarantee You that I will do this on high pay time.
You must have some unique skill that few other people have because at most companies they'd tell you to use the IE reporting tool or go find a job somewhere else. There are plenty of techs out looking for work that unless you have a specific unique skill you'd be out on your ear ASAP with that attitude.
You absolutely have a right to not cave in, and they have the right to hire someone else who follows company standards.
Bingo. It's easy for video DVD's as well. Hook the DVD player up to a video capture card and sound card and copy it that way. I've done it with DVD's and VHS in the past. The quality isn't as good as the original DVD but still quite good and better than most of the piss poor videos available on Kazaa.
Well, whether we're talking socialized health care or private, I don't think that insurance companies should be forced to pay out if people are stupid enough to not wear their seatbelts.
If insurance companies want to default on paying insurance claims to customers who didn't wear a seatbelt it should be clearly stated in the policy that not wearing a seatbelt will give them the option of not paying. If they don't have that clause they don't have a reason not to pay if the person injured has paid their insurance bill.

Or from the consumer side, why would you ever BUY a shredder that makes it easier to put the pages back together?

Many Linux advocates have been saying that would happen with Linux on the desktop. A niche market (Linux) taking over a huge market (Windows desktop).
