I'm thinking that I'd rather have a computer on which I can run different kinds of phone services. The computer should of course be small and have good battery time. The difference? I don't like having a SIM card connecting my phone to a specific provider. ISPs have much less power than phone providers.
An electronic voting system can NEVER be transparent enough for maintaining democracy. It is the people that need to be able to audit the voting procedure and the lowest common denominator for the people is the ability to count notes one by one.
Any electronics will hide what's happening and then we leave the future of democracy to the trust in experts. Then it would be more fair to openly leave our democratic system and enter an era of a pure elitocratic system.
What I want to know is: how can the party that lost be sure that the system just didn't delete a lot of votes?
Voting system using pieces of paper: 1) each person gets listed on a piece of paper 2) each person puts another piece of paper with the vote on in a box 3) at the same time your name is marked on the first list 4) when the voting period is over the vote papers in the box are counted Anyone interested in upholding democratic values may overview the process and it doesn't require much intelligence to understand if something is wrong in the process.
Voting system using computers: 1) someone claims that there is a program that you can vote on 2) people press buttons and do stuff with some program that may or may not be that same program 3) after the voting period is over someone claims a result Not even people that believe that they are knowledgeable in the technology used are allowed to overview even parts of the process since it's secret and the less knowledgeable have no clue whatsoever. Also bear in mind that a chain is never stronger than the weakest link which in this case may even be a spreadsheet file and a person trying to cut and paste vote counts together.
Whenever I hear "Linux skills" I think, "No, don't try finding a Setup.exe file on some poorly designed web page on the Internet, you just go to 'Administration', click on 'Install software' and select the software you want".
Actually, it's also fully legal to reject GPL. When you do that, copyright laws apply. GPL simply says that if you agree to some terms you're allowed to do more stuff than is permitted by copyright laws.
I believe that what's in the safe is so much more than the song itself, our freedom for one thing, so even though the song stolen is not worth much there is a strong incentive for cracking the safe.
I always thought that "Release Candidate" was english, meaning that it is a candidate for release? How can they then know how many such candidates that will fail to be release quality before hand?
This is not necessarily a bad thing. This kind of music has existed in plenty for quite some time. Now maybe, when it's even more available, maybe people can start appreciating good music?
A hardware solution can become much safer by adding a time component to the hash that generates the passcode. The passwords that were sent to you can be used in any order and at any time. The last bank in Sweden using that system (Nordea) has been hacked so many times so that they will now switch to a hardware solution.
This sounds amusingly similar to wavelet encoding - is this way of handling memory, and thus also the false memories, perhaps an artefact from an effective means of packing and hashing data for fast retrieval?
Considering the amount of novalties presented by M$ through their software, how many of these 5'000 to 10'000 patents will actually hold up in court? Could this be a way to increase stock price in short term?

Two cores consume much less power than double the speed so there is much to gain by parallelizing applications on mobile devices.
Funny then that they bought the Kinekt, just like all other products they have that were good once.

Because they fill the big holes in US state budget and has done so for a long time?

You're right. He suspected his roommate because his Windows machine started crashing! :-)
