Why bother posting easily falsifiable lies? All California does on voter registration is look up your DOB and SSN from your DMV information, and cross-check that with the SSA citizenship records, arguably more secure than relying on visual examination of paper records. They don't even allow people registering for the "illegal" driver's license" to attempt to register to vote, and getting a regular DMV license requires proof of citizenship.
If you actually live in CA and have been through the DMV license application process, you're either wilfully ignorant, or are one of Drumpf's army of propagandists attempting to spread the meme that the HRC California win is "invalid". Face it, your candidate lost the popular vote by 3+ million votes, and the only reason he "won" is due to an antiquated and undemocratic mechanism designed in the era of slavery.
What you're talking about is a matter of interpretation that has been argued ad infinitum (the definition of when life begins) and has been ruled upon by the courts several times. The "fetal homicide" law is also not applicable in 12 states, and does not cover a decision by the mother, who after all, is the person who likely suffers the greatest consequences of the no doubt difficult decision to abort.
It really has very little in common with the clearcut seatbelt case, and attempts to conflate the two are muddled thinking.
Not wearing a seat belt potentially endangers others (passengers, other drivers who may be struck as a result of avoidable loss of control were the driver to wear a seatbelt). Your freedom to make stupid choices ends when it infringes upon my freedoms.
Apple, OTOH, made the whole thing COMPLETELY SEAMLESS to all but the smallest-subset of users, by clever OS witchery (which I freely admit I do not know for sure how it works, but I assume has something to do with having a 32 bit and 64 bit version or entry point to each API call).
The way the "compatibility mode" kernel that shipped on Mac OS X several years ago works: the kernel is double-mapped into both the low 4G of the address space as well as the upper 128 TB ("negative") region. On a system call, exception or interrupt, the processor branches to the "high" double mapped region, switches to 64-bit mode and executes a small slice of the kernel in 64-bit mode. That slice does some book-keeping and then switches address spaces and modes to execute 32-bit "compatibility" mode IA32 code back in the low 4GiB. With this mechanism, 64-bit programs work without requiring all the 32-bit drivers and the kernel proper to operate entirely in 64-bit mode, which was a significant time-to-market and compatibility advantage. There's a drawback in that performance isn't as good as with a pure 64-bit kernel, but Apple shipped that a few years later.
The most routinely annoying example of Paypal sliminess is their refusal to allow a user to set the default payment source to a credit card.
If you have a linked bank account, it defaults to that, and you have to manually change it for every payment. This is clearly based on the hope that many users will neglect to do so, and so they can debit money with no cost to them from your bank account (while charging the recipient 3.5% or more), rather than paying the credit card transaction fees (some of which go back to the buyers, if they're smart and have cash back or rewards cards).
Followed by their invariable attempts to sell your their horrible credit cards, dire and false warnings about credit card charges unless you use a bank account, false warnings about foreign exchange conversion fees.
Not the most egregious issues I'm sure (I've never sold anything via ebay or paypal), but makes the whole experience unpleasant.
You lying/subliterate nincompoop, if you clicked on the FTP link from that page, the README has copious details which will probably overburden your confirmation-bias-filled little mind. They have links to the raw dataset, as well as the quality-controlled dataset and a detailed description of each filter.
Asinine, evil trolls like you denigrating the hard work of people who have dedicated their lives to this sort of thing are going to destroy America more than Drumpf can dream of. Fuck off and die, you miserable loser.

"don't understand the difference between what David Petraeus was indicted for and what Hillary Clinton, even by the most maximal interpretation, is accused of. What David Petraeus did was not mishandling classified information. No one ever suggested those were the facts of the case; it was lesser charge that grew out of a plea deal.
David Petraeus was in a position of the highest military authority and knowingly shared the highest levels of classified information: secret code words, the identities of informants, war strategy among other things with his mistress, who unquestionably had no right to have access to the information. Even marital infidelity in itself is a serious matter in the military. The breach of trust, vulnerability to blackmail and dereliction of duty are all huge and knowing transgressions. Petraeus could have been indicted for a number of individual crimes. He was pled down to a mishandling charge. Comparing this to insufficiently protecting information that appears not to have even been explicitly classified at the time is silly. "
+1 (no mod points). As cogent and informative a summary of the "hacker/cracker" distinction as I've ever seen. The jargon file
http://www.catb.org/jargon/htm...
dates it to the early '80s:
One who breaks security on a system. Coined ca. 1985 by hackers in defense against journalistic misuse of hacker (q.v., sense 8). An earlier attempt to establish worm in this sense around 1981--82 on Usenet was largely a failure.
which would seem earlier than the parent's recollection, but it had probably been floating around in the collective engineering unconsciousness for some time.
Of course, the etymology can probably be traced back to non-electronic crime, such as burglary (safe cracking/safe crackers).
That's interesting, but seems something of an edge case. I guess the time to open a browser could be considerable if it's restoring many tabs or windows, and one might want to be super-efficient and switch to TextEdit. I'm not sure if you're a different AC or the grandparent poster, but it would be interesting to understand the original modal dialog focus stealing thing a bit more, I've been annoyed by it but can't recall what does that offhand.
Maybe I'll even be motivated enough to file a report with Apple (bugreport.apple.com).
I'm curious, which program was it that showed the "modal" dialog and stole your keystrokes? Something like a VPN connection password that had expired? That could be dangerous from the security perspective.
Clearly the OS should have safeguards to prevent that, but one wonders if there's any legitimate use for this.
EnderAndrew seems to be selectively responding to posts which don't directly rebut his argument.
Read the many comments above about things like memetic evolution, tool usage in other species, mating behaviors of birds (peacocks dancing, bowerbirds building nests, magpies collecting shiny objects to decorate their nests etc.). You obviously have already reached a conclusion from extraneous prejudices and are attempting to sound intelligent and reasoned by drawing a false analogy with ants when you don't actually have any argument worth noting.
That hardly qualifies as a "debunking" - I'm afraid you'll have to come up with more than that, unlikely as this scenario seems. There's some fairly interesting material at "isbushwired.com", which doesn't seem to rely solely on that photograph.
While the hardly seems objective, the whole Kerry pen thing was picked up by Fox news etc. in a blatantly dishonest fashion (well after Fox's own clips showed it was a pen, they ran the "story" under the provocative headline "What did Kerry pull out of his pocket?" and condescended to mention that it was a pen only at the very end. I wish the media would give this equally far-out "story" equal time.
I think you meant "ILS", and nice troll:-) I wonder if an unwary moderator will fall for it... (I do have points, but I thought I'd rather reply 'cos I don't know if your comment is funny or a troll..grin).

Perhaps you can answer this, but I've been trying to get an old game (Archon Ultra, sort of a combination of chess, an RPG and a fighting game) on xp or linux. I've tried dosbox in xp, and dosemu on linux, but neither of them seem to work with the dos4gw loader that enables the software to run in protected mode on the x86. I'm out of ideas, and I'd really like to play that game - thoughts?
I'm don't use LaTeX often enough to consider myself anywhere close to an expert, but I'm curious as to the distinction between "press-ready" PDFs and generic PDFs. You can generate pdf's directly from a LaTeX document with pdftex.
As for SGML/XML->TeX, you should look into the Jade project.
As for stylesheets, TeX has had them for decades, but yes they involve writing macros, unless LyX has a GUI for it; I don't see this as a disadvantage.
As for "half-decent" documents, TeX/LaTeX have helped produce thousands of books, papers, reports, articles and so on for nigh on 20 years.
