The problem with politically correct people is that they always appear to he hiding something. They remind me of the drug user friend from high school who stopped over to catch up on old times about a week before your apartment gets broken into then rationalizes the coincidence away when you find out similar events happened with several other people he caught up with.
Politically correctness doesn't stop racism, sexual harassment or other abuses. It stops them from being obvious. At least with obvious, they can be addressed on the merits instead of a poorly considered joke or some guy's need to validate his heterosexuality with details of his latest conquest at the water cooler being overheard and blown out of portion.
The only limits I've seen on absentee ballots wanting to be imposed is where the states or counties within those states mail them out to everyone and they want to turn it into a request by mail or show in person thing.
Of course that does show a problem if someone wanted to commit voting fraud with absentee ballots. There would be less available and a tighter record of who asked for them, there would also be a legal situation with mail fraud and the such should someone pretend to be someone else through the US post office in order to get access to absentee forms.
I think the fears are right now that every registered voters get the forms in the mail. Some people do not vote or publicly declare they aren't voting to their friends and neighbors leaving the possibility of someone else voting for them with an absentee ballot.
Your situation is a little different because both places are within the same state. You probably should have filled out an absentee ballot from Fort Wayne or went there to vote but it wouldn't really matter to the effect that you are already a resident of the state.
Where you live is not always your residency. While on vacation for a month in Spain, you do not reside in Spain even though you are living there for a month. Now if you changed the registration to your car and address on your drivers license to a bonafide address in Terre Haute, then you could say your residence was there. If you didn't, you likely lived there and resided in Fort Wayne.
There are absentee ballots available in all states. Someone from another state visiting should be using the absentee ballot to vote in their home state.
More voters does not always mean better results. The majority of people in the US are politically ignorant and to some respect even stupid. Forcing these idiots (see the greek origin of the word, it's not an insult per se) to vote or encouraging them to participate when their attention span doesn't last through a TV commercial in most cases is foolish. This is especially true when you have xenophobic candidates who don't look past their grasp for political power long enough to figure out what made WWI and WWII such large wars and a mental population hell bent on the same isolationist policies that led to the original great depression in the US.
They should vote where they live- not where they are visiting because of resources available to them. If they move to some foreign town 200 or more miles away for the purpose of going to school and have every intent of leaving the area once the school is over, they are visiting.
That is probably the biggest issue there. Why should all the full time residents have their voice diluted because visitors overwhelm their jurisdiction then move on? You have to remember, the US is not like Sweden. The federal government only has partial supremacy over the states, the states are sovereign in all other regards.
No, the state gets to make the rules of who can vote not the federal government who does the census. That's in the constitution.
You can call it anything you want, you can even look silly by attempting to blame it on someone's insecurities but it is you looking silly not me. I for one lock my front door because without a sign of forced entry it's almost impossible to show someone was in your house illegally. It has nothing to do with race or because some illegal alien who is already violating the law is in the neighborhood. In facf, the last 5 or 10 people on the news for breaking into houses in my area was white.
Actually, you should pay more attention to Carter's presidency in this regard. Reagan had support of the democrats and most republicans. Carter had neither for the majority of his goals and was a failure of a president.
Well, I just checked into it. You do not need any proofs that you are not using someone else information. It's a crime to provide false information to get the ID or drivers license. But you now have to prove your residency which is accomplished with the above and a utility bill, bank statement with your address, voter registration card, any government issues documents with an address (welfare, unemployment, workers compensation) or release to jurisdiction statement, insurance card, certified letter to an address, change of address card for the US Post Office, and a number of other things.
You need to read that article pretty carefully to catch what they're talking about. There is a big problem in deciding what to do about the population of a university. As far as the US census is concerned a student is counted in the location of the university. However, depending on what state you're talking about, that student may or may not be allowed to register to vote in the location of the university.
Sigh.. 106% of the population in the census. This isn't about college students registering to vote locally if they are counted at the university for the census, there is still the problem of being 6% over 100% of the population and all the under 18 crowds not being present plus an outrageously high voter registration in the area. Well, perhaps if they registered then moved and weren't taken from the voting roles.
For example, in Williamsburg, VA the population of the College of William and Mary is counted as part of the population of Williamsburg according to the US census. But in the eyes of the state of Virginia, those students are not allowed to vote in Williamsburg. This caused quite a stir because the university population is overwealmingly NOT Republican. The Republicans control the state and out of fear were unable to do the right thing and let the students vote where they're counted in the census. The crazy part about this is that because the census numbers are used in determining the number and location of representatives' districts, students in the college are being used to swell the district and make the representative of that district more powerful than he should be.
Actually, someone who is a part time resident who plans on going back to another place should be voting back at that other place and not where they relocated temporarily. Otherwise, I could ship the 8% unemployed on vacation to anywhere I wanted to in order to influence state and local elections and even federal elections.
That's a little disingenuous. The entire reason we became a country in our own right is because we had problems with the British government and fixed them. The US constitution is riddled with hints of that too like quartering of troops in peacetime, searches, ability to tax, limitations on government by spelling out what it can do and what is left to the people and so on.
Most of the original amendments in the 12 amendments bill of rights (even though only 10 was ratified as part of the original bill of rights and the original second amendment was eventually implemented and ratified in 1992 as the 27th amendment) was specifically addressing issues we had with the British government's reign over us.
What exactly do you expect a third party president to do when there is not major players in the house or senate?
You have been voting since the 80's, maybe you should check out President Carter's miserable failure of a presidency just before then and see what happens when you do not have the support of a significant portion of congress- (and yes, Carter had a democrat congress).
I've only had a long wait once voting. They precincts changed and a lot of people showed to the wrong place. Strange thing is, the change was to divide two precincts into a third in order to speed the process of voting up.
It was about a 20-25 minute wait for 3 or 4 people in front of me to find that they were at the wrong place and could either use a provisional ballot, go to the right place, or go directly to the county elections commission and vote. Of course each one of them had to ask for directions to one of the alternative places.
Other then that, since 1989, I have not waited more then 5 minutes in line before signing in and voting.
Well, maybe that would be true if you closed your eyes, ignored reality, and equated the actions of a couple individuals as representative of an entire group that have something different in common. But that would make you suffer the same logic failure that racists seem to suffer.
it's not what the op claimed, but it isn't exactly refuting it either. I like how they even point to 106% of the last census (less then 2 years ago) being registered to vote in one Ohio county. At first glance, you might think well, that's only 6% over, but think of the children or the lack of children for it to be that simple.
Not all OSS software is free as in beer and some comes with some sort of paid support options too. Simply using it with a support contract could be paying the development also and helping it.
Quickbooks has or at one time had a POS offering that integrates to their accounting software. I've had to deal with them in the past.
As for the POS, about anything that can export to a format that quickbooks can import would work. Built in scripting or automatic communications is nice, custom scripting can be done too, of course spending an extra 20 minutes a day isn't too unreasonable either. Of course something like accpac might be a better option then quickbooks considering the complexity of the inventory and staffing in a restaurant environment. But then i think that is a bit more in costs.
First, the FDA isn't some magic group that never gets anything wrong. They have approved devices, drugs and treatments that later was found to have significant life threatening problem. They are supposed to test and weed those problems out or even approve of the dangers as acceptable and manageable considering the goals of the device, drug or treatment. The FDA simply is not a magical group of people who never allow something potentially harmful outside of it's labs. It's design was traditionally to validate claims and ascertain harmful effects so we didn't have electrified dildos out there still treating female hysteria and hair loss or leaching to treat pneumonia.
Second, knowing the output can isolate the input not used to initiate the output. It can also be used to determine or differentiate the control signals verses the information. Also, if you are used to cracking wifi encryption, assuming these things use some sort of encryption, knowing what most of the signal will say- even just portions of it- goes a long way at finding the key to cracking the encryption and the signal altogether.
As for access to the output, I don't have a problem with it. I actually think it should be a right of the patient. I know the doctor gets access to the readout and makes changes to the devices based on it. Perhaps they don't want the patent influencing those changes by discussing them with the doctor? There are a load of reasons ranging from the paranoid to the idiotic and from the quality of operation to hiding the workings from competitors.
But he doesn't want the 'ware. He wants the data it produces.
I suspect their refusal to allow access might be along the lines of hiding from potential liability if the product reacts or behaves improperly at any time. Imagine a grieving widow who discovers a pattern in the data where the device takes 3 minutes too long to respond properly every 500 or 1000 times it stimulates the heart or the input says it should.
You would think that you would have a right to any data produced by your body or devices used in keeping it alive and it would be available to at least you or your doctor. Perhaps they are worried the control signals would be discovered and after a trip to an electronics store, the widow could be celebrating getting rid of her husband instead of grieving? I see no other reason for keeping it hidden other then to avoid liability or stop potential abuse.
Why don't you do this thing called think for yourself and examine all the criticisms about Hansen and all the support for him out there then make any decision you think you are trying to make. I said I tend not to put much faith or credit in him or people that act like him, not that you couldn't. Seriously, hanging him as infallible and irreproachable because he got a membership or title is about as silly as basing everything on a single person's online opinion.
Politicians, preachers, cops, judges, are all people who have memberships and titles and even though we expect them to be infallible and irreproachable, tend to end up being self serving and corrupt quite often. I bet if you think about it, you can find more.
No, I'm talking about Hansen and Wirth, who's staff coordinated with Hansen. Hansen has admitted to it and even said that exaggerating the effects of AGW was acceptable in the beginning because he thought the urgency of it warranted it to get the word out. You can't say Hansen isn't an activist, he's constantly getting tossed in jail for his activism and rewarded shit tons of money for his activism from Global warming groups. Remember all the crapstorm a few years ago where he had to redo his ethics reporting to the government because he wasn't disclosing those sources?
I mean, if i copied 200 gig across 3 drives in a jbod raid, could i plug just one drive in to access the information on another machine? Suppose my laptop only has 2 usb ports and i do not have a hub plus i'm running a different OS, does this mean i can't look for information on the set?
I have never used JBOD for raid, I have however used regular mirrored and stripped raids with and without fault tolerance (raid 5 and 10 or a mirrored stripe for instance) and know this can be a problem. In fact, I've even seen issues reading a complete raid set across systems when you aren't using a true hardware raid controller.
Why? I never said his science was wrong, although many others have pointed to his flaws in the past and he has had to correct it. You do not think his latest BS is actually science do you? No, it's an opinion he is making while pretending it is science. This is obvious considering that in 2004 the blame for Europe's weather changes was placed on changes in the north Atlantic current and the Atlantic multidecadal oscillation which has a cycle of about 70 years and was known for a while that weather patters would change with it. So here we have your preacher cherry picking a time span that falls within this 70 years pointing to the changes in weather claiming it's proof of global warming when the entire time before the claim was claiming weather is not climate and you couldn't use weather to prove or disprove climate change- until something magically changed now.
Does that mean he has lied? I don't know, but it does mean that I'm not jumping at his claims like premature ejaculation in a whore house full of teen age kids getting their first piece. Hansen is a shill and doesn't deserve to be trusted. You badgering me will not change my mind, it will only make you look the same.

I'm not really sure what you are talking about. In my state, all you need to get an ID is a birth certificate and a social security card.
Perhaps the problem is more that your state is requiring too much crap to get an ID?
Well, maybe that would be true if you closed your eyes, ignored reality, and equated the actions of a couple individuals as representative of an entire group that have something different in common. But that would make you suffer the same logic failure that racists seem to suffer.
