Source code is 100% open to find exploits and bugs, when you vote you're given a ticket with a number, anyone can go online and see how everyone voted but only you are able to tell which vote was yours by the corresponding ticket number. That'd allow for everyone to do their own count if they wanted.
Totally defeats the purpose of a truly secret ballot.
In a secret ballot there should be no way to tally a vote with a person even for the person itself. A ticket number could be used to prove/disprove who someone voted for which is contrary to secret ballot.
You cannot bribe/threaten someone to vote one way or the other if there is no way for you to verify it - this must be preserved.
Will the virus reinfect the Windows PC each & every time the IPod is connected to the PC?
i.e. if the first time I connect the IPod to the PC, I get infected & then I clean the PC with some antivirus - is that good enough? Or will that happen everytime?
How can one of these Janus(DRM) players kill an IPod when I can use an IPod with nearly every OS compared to these Janus players that require WinXP w/ WMP10.
Because an Ipod killer wouldn't lose much by not selling to those 23 people who do not run windows on any of thier PCs.
And you find that the google www.google.com/u/gplus doesnt work now. I'll say one thing. They sure are quick.
How the hell did they manage that gazillion man hours work of disabling a webpage & then testing the fix of disabling the webpage so quickly.
I bet everyone right from the top to botton at Google must have been working non-stop on disabling this webpage.
Anyway, Kudos & three cheers to Google on disabling this so quickly. They surely are amazing. Who knows, maybe they even hired a few thousand extra temporary workers also to work on disabling this webpage. What a great company.
Most people can afford $5 a month, but to pay $600 for the cost of a new phone in one go, especially when you don't expect it, can be slightly more difficult.
Another thing, if paying 600$ at one go is difficult, you shouldn't be purchasing a 600$ cell phone in the first place.
Lemme guess, you think home, medical, and auto insurance fall into the same category?
Insurance is basically a scam - it's meant to benefit the insurance company & not the insured.
You should insure only when the loss will be unaffordable. Home, Medical & auto insurance fall into this category. (Auto because of lawsuits).
Even out that there, you should be choosing your deductibles smartly to reduce your premium.
For an auto insurance, keep your deductibles as the maximum you can afford to pay without becoming broke. Yes, you will be hit a by a big deductible if you do have an accident. However, over a long period, the reduction in premium would automatically more than break even unless you are having accidents very frequently. If you are having accidents frequently, you probably shouldn't be driving.
What happens if your phone is stolen in the first three months, when it's at its most desirable?
Can you buy a new phone with the $15 in your box?
After you get you get your replacement phone, you will still continue to pay 5$ per month for the next 9 years 9 months, right?
That's why I am considering a 10 year period. You may have 1 new phone stolen in the first 3 months. But over a 10 year if you have too many phones stolen, you probably shouldn't be carrying a phone around.
Then put 5$ in a "lock box" every month instead of giving it to Sprint. Even better put it in the back. At the end of 10 years it will be worth 700$ even at a moderate rate of interest.

Yup. Open Source products usually get decent by V3.0 or 3.1
Looks like the IE7 team probably downloaded & used Firefox 2.0 RC2 before they sent
the Firefox team the cake.

RTFA - it talks about sixdegrees.
There are way more than 23 Mac owners who choose not to install Windows on their PC.
Ok. If you insist, 30.

I just don't want to one day find a vulnerability or incompatibility in IceWeasel that's not in Firefox.
What about vulnerabilities in Firefox which are not there in IceWeasel?
They have moved from Apache & Tomcat to IIS & ASP.NET.
Nah. The newspaper's webmaster should just learn how to use the 'NOCACHE,NOARCHIVE' tag.
That's like saying you need a "No trespassing" board - otherwise, it's fair game
for trespassers.
Is it even a correct euphemism.
I have heard "Passed away", but never passes.

I love you, Gooooogle
Doom, because it practically reinvented the FPS, both in terms of originality of gameplay and graphics quality.
No, that was Wolfenstein.
I liked Doom better, but it was Wolf which reinvented the genre.
This is an existing racket which has just been ported to the web.

Maybe Diebold can use this technology to generate the paper trail for
electronic voting.
The Swedish newspaper Göterborgs-Posten reports the source of the password was a partymember who's account was "sigge" with password "sigge"
My next password is going to be Göterborgs-Posten.
Try cracking that.

Well, for $5 a month, Sprint offers a full replacement plan.
That's the idiot tax.
In a 10 years period, you would have paid 600$. You
would have to lose phones pretty frequently to break
even.
Why is it that if it's a communist state doing something it's bad and when it's not it's good.
Kerala has also banned Coke & Pepsi.
And they didn't ban other Indian drinks which had the same problems.
"I said on the IE Blog that in IE7 we were not going to pass the Acid2 test"
Does this mean that all those webpages which use this complicated method of displaying a smiley aren't going to render properly on IE7.
Two of those articles have written 5-6 years back.
I tried your webpage on IE6 & an old install of Firefox (1.0.7).
Site looks good on IE & is unreadable on Firefox.
