Isn't that solved by having both all parties supervise?
During all the design phase, and imposing physical and software security measures (which as we all know, tend to be fallible very often)? Isn't it cheaper and safer to just forget it than hope that noone involved in the design finds a way to circumvent the security measures without anyone else noticing?
sound: mechanical radiant energy that is transmitted by longitudinal pressure waves in a material medium (as air) and is the objective cause of hearing
As you can see, the definition of sound doesn't require that anyone is there to listen to it.
If a tree falls in the forest and nothing is there to see it, does it make a sight?
What's a sight? If you define it as requiring humans, of course it doesn't make a sight. But it does cause differences in the radiation of light in the forest, as I'm sure you'll agree.
I'm not talking about caring about someone, but caring about the possibility that there are people dying who you don't know about. Just the possibility/concept annoys me, I don't need to know about their specific existence. Can't you understand what I mean?
It's awfully hard to conclusively call him a hoax. Which at least makes him interesting.
The question is - how hard is it for anyone to make similar claims which are hard to disprove? If it's not hard at all, I'd say it makes it much less interesting.
I have been programming for a long time and I never had stuff like this happening.
If other replies to you have accurately guessed the truth and, as they say, you've never worked on a complicated piece of code, I will save you from spending any more "long time" working on your programming. Here is the program you're trying to make:
#include <stdio.h>
int main (void) {
printf ("Hello world!\n");
return 0; }
So if you ever get drunk and show your penis to a really hot girl you didn't know, you automatically deserve to be ridiculed on every newspaper and internet site?
Isn't that link valid only for media reporting? Does posting the same things on the internet count as reporting in media? Is this law applicable in this case? I have no idea...
Now, if someone with access to the voting machines actually implemented this idea.... The media reaction to that would be absolutely great, and it's not an infeasible idea exactly... All it takes is a voting official with enough balls and computer knowledge. OK, it might be asking for too much after all...
2-3 days a month. It doesn't means your internet goes on the blink for 30 days in a row.
OK, since you seem to be short-sighted, let's see it another way - 24 hours * 89% = 21.36 hours a day with Internet working. Does that still seem good to you?
About cybercafés, don't those have downtime too? Even if they don't, I don't want to get out from home and pay more money for a service I've already bought everytime the damn connection is down, especially if it happens 1 in 10 times on average...
Remember that at heart many people are inherantly cheap and yes, will buy a one-way ticket to save a few bucks they could spend on beer before a truly one-way flight.
Maybe they also postpone the destruction of the plane until the last possible moment in order to get the most flying out of their ticket? Heheh.
Far from american friends???: Do you know the local DSL provider provides you with 1 Mbps connection at $100 a month? Agreed it is costlier, but the connection is 89% uptime.
Are you crazy? First of all 89% uptime is bullshit, it means the connection will be down for 3 days a month. Second, what does "far" have to do with a DSL connection? You have to be very nerdish to think a DSL connection compares to being actually close to your friends.
Someone using that kind of information for knowing a precise location would be crazy. Proxying, VPNs, ISPs hundreds of km away, outdated information because of IPs changing owner...
The porn sites try get your location from your IP address (such as this site does), which is often quite wrong. For example, even though I'm in Denmark right now, my company proxies http through Ireland, so I often get ads for "slutty girls in Dublin". Even when proxying is not being used, the result is often the location of your ISP's headquarters, for example.

Do you really need two equal consoles in one house? :S

BTW I should have asked it in a different way: "You actually don't care about the death of people who noone knows about?"
So you effectively believe that a tree falling in the forest doesn't make a sound if noone is there to listen to it...
... you wouldn't care about the death of someone who doesn't have any friends or family?

He might as well get a punch in the face, his house burned down or worse (and the list of potential suspects is pretty long).
So they not only allowed voting outside the weekend, they also chose a specific week day? Great.
Now, if someone with access to the voting machines actually implemented this idea.... The media reaction to that would be absolutely great, and it's not an infeasible idea exactly...

No they're not, only one of those is

Hell yeah
BTW, it just means "ass", not "nice ass". I just put in "nice ass" for the picture comment.
