At current rates crew cost is rapidly moving toward parity and will soon be advantageous vis a vis fuel costs. Automation be damned, people are getting cheaper daily.
ok sorry about the monster under the bed thing, and yes they love to parade a captured terrorist around, but they don't want the bugbear of terrorism to go away. They need it to badly as their raison d'etre...
Insightful ?!!?????
My aren't we naive. The last thing this administration wants to do is "catch the terrorists". Think for a minute. It will come to you, just take off your rose coloured glasses and forget about the monster under your bed for a moment and think like a grown up.
It has been known for decades that gasoline consumption, in particular increases, with DST, and that commerce in general benefits from DST. The energy savings argument has always been, when considered across the entire spectrum of energy consumption, quite obviously spurious.
how about:
the can opener
the pencil
ad nauseum
'what is tech' ? is largely dependent on 'when is tech'
The items listed are, even if not available at retail, still recent enough to be considered current tech, at least to most of us that experienced them as adults, or that have a topically elastic sense of temporal relativity.
...so it's just bad scripting on the part of bands and others who insist on using Flash in their websites, not a problem with the deployed tools or browsers.
Remember mate, not all "bad scripting" is a mistake.
having to deal with too many overwrought tools with too many extensions and partially compatible layers of overly extended somewhat coherent but not entirely consistent object collections attempting to isolate functionality and succeeding in broadcasting vulnerabilities and erratic performance.
Just like the rest of computer assisted voting a paper trail is absurd, an udder sewn on a bull. In a system whose very purpose is to eliminate the need for manipulating physical media and eliminate transparency, a paper trail is only good for is for catching legitimate process errors though it does provide a layer of camouflage for those that would still promote these systems. In the case of those that wish to perpetrate a fraud, all a paper trail does is make it necessary to be more careful when rigging elections in order to make the results fall within valid statistical bounds. Provided the receipt is in human readable form which is not a given, let the paper trail reflect the true vote so the.12% of voters that check the paper against their vote don't complain and record the votes you want. No problem. Of course on those occasions where there is both fraud and error in the execution the paper trail might be helpful but then we begin to enter the realm of the absurd in a big way.
Hand recorded paper ballots, redundant hand count at precinct level with lots of people involved is the ONLY WAY to even come close to sufficient transparency in the electoral system.

Actually, given the degree of distruction and carnage it's amazing that people are allowed to drive at all.

agreed, but why not just use a paper ballot? To easy, doesn't consume enough of the right resources ?
It will never come to pass. This is like trying to create a chorus from a sack of cats.
Then being exxxonerated indicates the use of baby oil and plastic sheets. Right ?
