I'm simply not interested enough in twitter to jump through stupid hoops to get the account back or open another account (new gmail -> gmail tel -> new twitter account afaik).
I haven't logged in for a couple of months since they insist I give them my tel. Not happening, not with every company under the sun getting data-breached at one time or another including yahoo and microsoft.
Well it depends on what you call secret. I don't think the gov't goes to the trouble of entering all of those codes back into some system and keeping a record of how people voted, that would be a massive and illegal conspiracy. (The secret ballot was eventually extended generally in the Ballot Act 1872)
And it's also possible in parts of the US "Sometimes the ballots themselves are numbered, making the vote trackable. This was ruled legal by Federal District Judge Christine Arguello, who ruled that the U.S. Constitution does not grant a right to a secret ballot.[24]"
In the UK the only time I ever hear about voting fraud is with 'postal votes' and it sounds like it's pretty rife. But the fraud isn't with royal mail but with the people who are supposed to give the vote cards to the voter and then post it.
"and there's more now that when that prediction was made." Very wrong
"Global temps haven't increased in sixteen plus years." WTF? Very wrong.
"Manmade global warming is bullshit." The science is very clear, again you are very wrong.
Personally I think the chances of mankind surviving a few hundred more years is less than 50/50, we've set the ball rolling to our own destruction and we'll be taking 95% of species with us. Mankind's biggest problem is over-population and unsustainable resource depletion.
Global warming deniers never can answer the following in any logical manner: Is CO2 not a greenhouse gas? Is man not releasing very large amounts of CO2? What negates the effect of CO2 in the atmosphere as a greenhouse gas?
All modern money is debt, it's nothing but IOU's otherwise it'd be something of value like gold coins. Most of your money isn't even paper (iou's) it's just a number in a computer.
Maybe this is a silly question but can't you simply disable the update service / alter tasks in the task scheduler, and/or disable related services that nothing else is likely to use.
Of course America never had any civil wars (sarc). Don't you think it'd be better to be concerned because it's the exact same companies that push copyright crap in the US.
Remind me, what is the statutory damages for piracy in the US?
Quite likely based upon history and science we're accidifying the ocean and dangerously heating the planet, the heating will feedback loop, methane containing permafrosts are melting, ocean calthrates might be released. The result of all this could easily be our extinction.
Doesn't matter because IBM Watson isn't remotely intelligent, it has no idea what it is doing, it doesn't make choices, it's just an advanced database with 'neural net's thrown in. Data in, data out, nothing more.
Slashdot doesn't do 'communities' or 'personal messages' it's pretty anonymous and public, The people on my friend/foe lists aren't friends like people on Facebook are, they are merely tags which I use because I tend to agree or disagree with a person.
This is what happens when you hire all young people that haven't learned the ropes, points missed, mistakes made. And engineers should have to use the products they designed wherever possible.
Trump is racist, bigoted and sexist, you're blind and deaf if you can't see that, it's very clear from all of the things he's said and if you can't find the proof of that from a quick google then you're useless at using google and don't want to know the truth.
So? Doesn't mean it's good, millions of people die every year, does that mean dying is good?
Win10 is 100% spyware, it completely ticks the necessary boxes for being spyware. So it's fair enough that people don't like it, people don't like spyware and they especially don't like the OS they use being spyware since it can spy on everything the user does. What is worst is Microsoft's dishonestly in not saying what metrics it collects, most of all those metrics it still collects even when all privacy settings have been set to maximum privacy.

For postal voters perhaps (a tiny minority) but for the rest of us, the vote is definitely secret.
I know because I've voted here many times, put a cross in a box on a piece of paper, fold it, put it in the ballot box slot.

I bet that'd be right in the uncanny valley.
Short lifespan batteries? Doesn't look like it, perhaps you're thinking of old laptop batteries or some such.

More to the point, it encourages no-one to walk anywhere and drive instead.
"The problem is that ultimately, Mexicans make cheaper textiles because they accept a lower standard of living."
No, because the wage part of making an item of clothing is a small fraction of the overall cost, typically 1$
How would having a register have stopped these deaths? I presume the people with killer drones could have registered the drones no?

Sure, as long as the cops supply the eggs flour and milk.

Considering we're quite likely to wipe out 99% of life on this planet including ourselves then yes, + the 1% are very bad custodians.

Since when did slashdot posts have value?
"Millions of use Windows,"
So? Doesn't mean it's good, millions of people die every year, does that mean dying is good?
