Not only that. It provides a solution for a problem that is unrelated to the issue.
The fact that it takes longer to count should not bother anybody. So what if the counting takes two weeks? For all I care they only release the information all at the same time one month after the election for all of the country.
I am not interested in knowing who is the winner at 14h04. I am interested in the fact if the winner has been elected in a fair way. And if you can not bring people in to hold up your counting (by volunteers, appointing or by paying them) then perhaps you should abandon this whole democracy thing as it is clear that the people have no real interest in it.
Not anymore. Product awareness is what it is about. Also a campaign is not just one type of advertising. It is a combination of many factors.
So a company does not only make tv campaigns, they will also do other things, like billboards, radio, webvertising, direct mailings, combining it with other products. All this will make the person very much aware of the product and that will finally result in higher sales.
Smaller companies will often only advertise in a much more direct way and will be able to easily measure if a campaign has results. e.g. a restaurant puts an add in a local newspaper with a coupon for a free drink. At the end of the month it will count the coupons and know wether it was sucessfull or not when they compare it to the previous month and previous year when there was no adverstsement.
However if they put up also a billboard, it could mean that people who have first seen the billboard, do recognise the coupon. Whithout the billboard they would not have used the coupon. Add radio to it and at a certain point you do not even need the coupons anymore. THis you will save in free drinks.
If it is a good idea depends on your business, your budget and the goal you want to achieve. So in the end it is indeed about selling, but very often it is not just one campaign that will make people buy the product.
Do I get this correctly? People who have no right on a licence to drive can get a drivers licence?
Something like that sounds just silly. Also where I live the police will take away your drivers licence for anything from a few hours to always when law says so (e.g. DUI, speeding,...) by thus taking away your licence to drive.
And what about those little people who have not yet reached the age to be able to drive?
Are people freedom fighters or terrorists? Are people nutcases or religious examples? Is Paris Hilton hot or not?
And how do we count? If 10.000.000 people say that gravity is untrue and only 2 people say it is, do we start to float?
As with any information that is tronw at you, you should not believe one source. Do not trust FoxNews, but also do not trust AlJazera or the BBC or.... Look at all the information and then decide for yourself.
The last thing I would want is that somebody tells me what is right and what is wrong.
Seriously, tech and business really are two different worlds.
In most cases it is. In many places I worked, each department was almost its own unit. So not just buiness and tech, but IT, Sales, Marketing, HR, Accounting,...
Each with their own manager and budget. A lot of conflicting interests between departments and especially with the IT department. They needed to keep cost as low as possible and other departments wanted automation as much as possible. So a lot of 'no, we won't do that, because of budget'.
At some other companies where I worked there were smaller IT departments within the larger departments. The HUGE advantage was that they understood what those departments wanted and could come up with solutions, because they understood the problem AND still had an eye on budget.
I also abuse the fact that most people dislike IT. OK, I know a little more about I then others (sometimes those inside IT) and what I do is come up with a solution. First I will see if the solution is possible for both and then I do the request.
At a certain point they will notice that I do not ask things that are not possible or unreasonable and that I speak their language. The result is that I get much more done and faster then almost anybody. To me that is important, as we depend heavily (more then any other department) on the well functioning of out IT related things.
Howvere having a SPOC for each department (with followup) is a real good thing. Include them in projects and it will become their project as well. Or in other words Social Engineering is a very powerful tool to hack people.
There are still laws that apply to international waters. The problem might come if the ship is in distress during or after a storm. This is what happened with the pirate radio ship Veronica in the Netherlands. Evacuation of the people will me no problem, but saving the ship (and all their data) might be.
Thinking about that, perhaps Veronica and Noordzee could be used as a 'previous art' against any 'transferring data from a ship' patent trolling.
but all the sane people realise that going to war was a sham anyway.
If you are talking about the war in Iraq, I agree. If you talk about going to war after the 4 attacks in the USofA, I disagree.
It was very much needed to go to war. However it should have been ONLY Afganistan. First win the war there and then see what happens next.
It would have been much cheaper, cost less lives and the chances of success would have been higher. Obviously the goal should have been to fight terrorism, not to bring democracy. That is up to the people who live their. Do not enforce your values on them and they will not try to enforce their values on you.
Indeed the American People. I know I had heard that one on the news in Belgium, Europe just after the attacks. I believe one or two days later. At least it was in the standard period where people would say "probably it group XYZ, but let us wait for the confirmation" and not jump to conclusions for their own interest.
The Spanish have done that with the Madrid bombing and they got not elected because of lying to their public and pointing fingers at the wrong terrorists.
As these 'leaked' documents include things send to news agencies, the real issue is why you did not hear it and other countries with lesser freedom of the press did. Later we did not hear about it anymore, because the fact that he denied it was irrelevant.

You just made all movies with super villains seem as if they are unrealistic.
The they will probably giggle over this old news from 2005.
It is available for Ubuntu, not for Linux. There are other distributions out there.

Both realistic look and great gameplay
You watched it, you talk about it. That is what ad makers want you to do. All the rest is extra.
It is still a barrier. Doesn't really matter who put it up.

When you travel across borders a lot,you will likely have more on then a swimsuit, so having your passport with you is not a real serious problem.
You know what is even better and a guarantee that you never need to pay a fine? Don't run red lights and don't speed.
Yeah, because they have no way of tracking people right now with the licenceplate.
We have never been in war with Eurasia. This is doubleplus true.

There is no need for a base two if you are adding. You add cores, you do not multiply them.
2, 3 (yes, triple code do exist), 4, 6. I guess the next step will be 8 and perhaps even skip that and make it 9 (3x3).

Those terrists will use Google maps to locate where it is and Google will just point them to wherever they like.
I should have said "To fight terrorists"
If they would be able to do tests in other departments, they would do them there as well.
So the question should not be why they do it in IT, but why they don't do it elsewhere.
You are not a manager, you are a teamleader.
