  1. Re:Yawn on Big Bang Actors To Earn $1M Per Episode · · Score: 1

    Poking fun at people because of their behavior is not the same as poking fun at people because of their skin color.

    So we can make fun of rap, bling, and ebonics because those are behaviors, not skin color? Nope. They are on the "do not tease" list.

    Reality proved you wrong. Care to try again?

    No, it's true. The advertisers don't pay more. The show just gets sold more times.

    Consumers pay those bills. Every time you buy something, you are paying those outrages salaries.

    So if I never go to a store advertised or buy a product advertised in BBT, how did I pay that salary?

    i wasn't talking about learning, dumbass. i meant the rigors of "bullying".

    You said, " If the minimal rigors of (gasp) public education are enough to convince one to put an end to it, then they are probably better off leaving this world."

    You didn't mention bullying, but instead stated that if public education was too hard, then they should end it.

    An AT&T iPhone's software is far more similar to a Verizon iPhone's software than a similar comparison for Androids.

    But an unlocked dual-SIM CDMA/GSM phone would have no differences across either network?

    Doesn't matter. The policeman could be the bad guy. Prove the planted drugs at your last traffic stop were planted. When you assume everyone is as evil as you, you can't even leave the house.

    I don't disagree. I was just pointing out the folly in the GP's statements.

  10. The person is a convicted child molester, caught with multiple images, various sources, various locations. The collection methods of Google won't be greatly scrutinized. Even with that particular image and act excluded, a conviction should be easy.

    It's theoretically possible that the sunspots managed to bit-flip a rip of a DVD to a child-porn movie. But one needs "reasonable doubt" and insane psychotic conspiracy theories aren't "reasonable"

    You don't have to prove evidence wasn't tampered with. You just need to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the convicted child molester was in possession of child porn he was attempting to distribute. Most trust Google far enough to demonstrate a picture in an email. Why wouldn't you convict if a server admin presented a file, with logs, timestamps, and permissions that demonstrate the owner, creator, and time which that person had it?

    Two-state solution = apartheid.

    So the USA and Canada are in apartheid? It's a two-state solution, by treaty, after wars and skirmishes.

    Same as the US and Mexico.

    The two-state solutions I've seen were more like India/Pakistan. And not ideal, it was better than the one-state solution (so say the historians).

    if every country had to go back to the borders it had last time the Jewish people were actually in the promised land then the world would be very different. That is never going to happen though, and most people would not want it to.

    There was "conflict" before humans existed. You'll have to be more specific.

    The problem with this one isn't that it doesn't use the right brand, but it requires a TV be on Xbox Skype 24/7. Wanna watch TV? No Skype. Some of the others (like the iPad ones) don't require a re-purposing of a large shared resource to run.

    It doesn't matter if it's rooted. The root kit would have to be a very targeted attack to change a vote while appearing valid. You then take your receipt to the voting commission and verify your vote was cast as intended. If it isn't, the offending machine is seized and investigated for vote fraud.

    There's many many people who don't own a computer so they use ones they can access in other places.

    And they do that today with things like online banking. How many attacks are done that target these people? Oh, only a handful every year. Not enough to sway an election, not like crates of votes being inserted or lost in paper votes.

  23. Re:What's changed? on Ask Slashdot: Should I Fight Against Online Voting In Our Municipality? · · Score: 1

    Online voting is better than paper, when online comes with crypto. There is no attack type possible with online voting that's impossible with paper. The difference is in the details and maybe the ease. But when anonymous voting is abolished, there is no room for "fraud", just intimidation, and intimidation is low in the US.

    It'd be hard to make an online system any worse than our current paper system.

    You have a right to *your* posessions, but not a fundamental right to own any possessions. Once you have them, they are yours, but that's different than saying you have the right to the.

    Just because I have the right to procrate, doesn't mean I will have children provided to me (by the government or private enterprise), should I demand them. Property is the same. You don't have a right to "have" property, but once you have it, it is yours.
