Because someone else has the Right to a Trial by a Jury of their Peers. Think about that a little. Every time that someone has a "right to" something, there is an obligation on someone else somewhere to provide or at least facilitate it.
But someone else, and you yourself, have a right to be governed well by a citizen or groups of citizens chosen by majority vote. Government is not supposed to be an alien thing applied from outside but instead something that represents you. That's not happening when only a very small number of people bother to get involved in any way at all. That's why you have so many people in power who are there for purely personal gain.
Make that "sadly few actually care enough" since the above could be taken as an unintended insult. I'm updating my certs but many don't bother anymore.
The SSL web of trust has had trucks drive through it so a lot of people are not bothering to update their certs. Sadly you are one of the few that actually cares enough to point out an expired cert instead of just clicking through.
In case you are not just pretending to be incredibly ignorant of recent history and it really did slip you by, the infamously corrupt senator from Nevada, although that doesn't narrow it down much either if you didn't have the name. One of the many fuckups caused by that Senator dabbling in the intelligence community, sometimes for personal gain, was supplying millions of dollars worth of weapons to a prominent Afgan Warlord who later fought against the US on the side of the Taliban - thus a textbook case of "the enemy of my enemy many also be my enemy". See also Oliver North selling weapons to Hezbolla, not a high point in US-Israel relations.
Unless you are releasing classified information not out of a sense of duty but because you want to fuck a hot journalist - the General rule is that's OK.
It's a bitcon article so asking if the suckers drawn in the scheme are retarded is considered rude. "It's the future" - it's like that thing in Cryptonomicon only not backed by anything of value and it's founder has gone into hiding.
No. As I wrote above I think your lack of life experience has biased you into having a pathologically skewed view of women that has very little relationship with the wider reality and that has led you to spread some rather disgusting bullshit you should have grown out of in high school. Perhaps if you focus less on opportunities for sex or lack thereof you will notice that women are people too. I'm from a generation that's considered to be sexist but you angry entitled virgins take the cake.
An unused vote is a vote of non-confidence. The only thing compulsory voting does is hide those.
No, such votes are recorded as "informal" votes and they certainly send a message especially when the gap between canditates is close. Turning up and writing "fuck the lot of you" on the ballot paper, or leaving it blank are perfectly valid choices.
People from the US have run very effective elections offshore (assisting the UN in various places) so you are perfectly capable of ditching the electoral college shit with the hanging chads, dodgy machines, long queues and Tuesday voting for a professionally run election with more than two choices.
Unless actually you take a look at a place where it actually runs that way instead of applying gut feeling - hence my suggestion based on places where there is more political choice.
So where does that lead with the second amendment folks who say they have guns so that they can overthrow the United States of America if necessary?
It's a slippery slope and a bit hard to work out where to draw the line. The second amendment folks had better hope that whoever is drawing it decides that they are not a serious threat.
Remember there were knee-jerk Republicans who were all for assisting the caliphate last year because they were fighting Assad - maybe if Romney was President the swift action they were calling for would have happened. You'd thing after Charlie Wilson they would have learnt that not every enemy of someone you don't like (such as a former ally you want to discard to make others happy) is your friend.
So then make voting compulsory so that people who are not invested have to get off their arse and do their duty as citizens by voting - you'll get more room for choice then.
Cue people who say that an important part of freedom is not having to do their duty as citizens in 3.. 2.. 1.
Volume enterprise licensing in some form has been around for quite some time
The year before last I had some lowlife that wanted to do a full software audit on my workplace on the strength of a WinNT server licence purchased in 1998. It's not a good road to go down from the customer's point of view.
The Argentinians saw the opportunity due to Thatcher's defence cuts and thought the UK would not have to capability to deal with the insult. The joke was on them because the cuts took a while to occur so they ended up being hassled by Harrier jets that were to be sold to the USA from the deck of an aircraft carrier that was to be sold to Australia. Not enough UK troop transport? Cruise ships did the job.
That reminds me of the diplomatic incident of the time where the US was giving intelligence information about the UK to Argentina at the start of the conflict. That didn't go down well. US intelligence is a shambolic pile of agencies working at cross purposes and sometimes even against foreign policy. A notable historical fuckup was part of the CIA supplying guns to Castro before the Cuban revolution while another part was trying to stop him. For more recent stuff see playing both sides of Israel and Hezbolla.
You can't grasp the implications, so let's try something obvious. Consider scaling up an ant to horse size. It's not going to work without some redesign is it? It's not code, and even code sometimes needs redesign to scale up.
I very much doubt they are anything at all like the projects in which you used to work unless you were building radio telescopes or experimental equipment. Building something different to what anyone has built before is a bit hard to quote for, and that's the main, should be incredibly obvious point and not related to distracting comments about overstaffing. Have you every considered that if costs go up it's possible that they were understaffed to start with and had to put more people on?
Sorry guys for questioning the thought bubble where you think a manager says "get it done" and the only impediments are lazy people and not the actual difficulty of a task.
It's more like coming in and using concrete for a hang glider (has been done) instead of making a passenger airliner out of lightweight metals and carbon reinforced plastic. You get a result from the non-traditional approach but it fails to perform as well as using methods that have long proved their worth. So maybe this stuff will measure up later but it's still got a bit of proving itself to do before it's a mainstream option.
Your BlueCoat device now ships its SSL interception logs offshore, so personal banking of employees and everything else can be easily sifted through
Having a stupid MITM device is just asking for a disaster in the first place. Having the thing compromised and getting lawyers from banks after your blood is probably far more likely than catching someone in the act of industrial espionage or whatever paranoid reason you have the spy device installed for.

Well that's nice.
How do you feel about seat belts?
I suspect it's the idea of someone telling you what to do that matters more than if it's a good idea or a bad idea.
Make that "sadly few actually care enough" since the above could be taken as an unintended insult.

It will work if you use a Lenovo machine :)

See also communist countries that had "democratic republic" in the name. It's what you do instead of how you advertise yourself that matters.
That's how these things happen.
For instance, the death penalty came back because of some clown in Washington.
So where does that lead with the second amendment folks who say they have guns so that they can overthrow the United States of America if necessary?

You are a really fucked up kid and should probably get out there and actually talk to some girls to undo some of that damage.
We know about this new stuff, but for comparison we need to know how many semens per centimeter there can be on conventional yoga pants.

Time to get rid of those toy soldiers and replace them with real ones.
