The government should reward people if they vote, say a voter stimulus package of $100 sent to you in the mail after confirming that you showed up at the polls and voted.
This might be the only way to increase voter turnout, therefore creating a stronger 'Democracy' or whatever it actually is these days.
I mean, if you aren't doing anything wrong, you might as well, right?
My colleagues believe that I am wasting my time with you, but I believe you wish to do the right thing. We're willing to wipe the slate clean, give you a fresh start.
And before you can view the training videos, you must first download them (for free) from the iTunes Store. Windows users, that means you'll need to install QuickTime and iTunes --
Oh, you mean I HAVE to install iTunes to watch the training videos? Bummer.
While we wait, if any of you should have a theory of your own, please share with the group.
My theory is that by always having 'beta' next to something, this ensures that anyone who uses their tools will always think they are using the latest and greatest.
Or, maybe they want to remind people of a fish, that swims alone from the crowd with a brilliant display of features.
And don't forget to not only patch the latested operating system and browser vulnerabilities, but also keep an eye on third-party browser plugins like Adobe Reader, Flash Player and QuickTime.
Why do all these security articles end up basically saying the same thing?
Patch & update, rinse, repeat.
Everything else in these security/warning articles just show you what happens to the people who never patch anything and open anything & everything.
Mars: the newest frontier.
These are the voyages of the rover Opportunity.
Its two-year mission: to explore strange new craters; to seek out new life and new land formations;
to boldly go where no robot has gone before!
As of posting time, representatives of the state had not gotten back to me with comment.
It was later found that the reason for this delay was a system-wide shutdown & widespread panic as they couldn't figure out how to encrypt or decrypt any of their correspondence properly.
How about we fix this problem a few years instead of a few weeks before the next major election?
This is further proof that voting needs to be standardized in order to uphold the virtues of our 'democracy.'
Otherwise any election can be rigged, and we will end up with another hanging chad fiasco or Diebold epic failure.
it's not too late to fix many of these problems. Although many states don't have the laws on the books to require some safeguards, they can act now to make sure that there are enough back up ballots at the polls, workers are properly trained and there are enough poll workers on election day. Why does this exact same scenario happen every 4 years? Haven't we learned ANYTHING?
...serious flaws in OpenSolaris. There is a severe lack of developers, for one. Apparently, after 3 years, the OpenSolaris 'developer community' is still struggling to get the proper tools for developers to develop!
No developers or any tools?
At least we won't have to blame another Solaris bomb on George Clooney this time.
----Judge Williams wrote that there wasn't sufficient evidence to claim that the standards organization would have gone with different technology. He also wrote that "deceit merely enabling a monopolist to charge higher prices than it otherwise could have charged... would not in itself constitute monopolization."

How about putting a solar array on a notebook case/cover that could power your laptop and any other items such as cell phones and music players?
Seeing that batteries are a very limited resource, how about having the option to use the unlimited power of the sun?
It also has a dual benefit of forcing you to get out of your parent's basement every so often.
>Does this mean they'll forget about my torrents?
No, we need to leave those open for easy Sentinel access
Sorry, but MySpace will leave you High and Dry when it comes to indy music

So, tell me Mr. Anderson, why didn't YOU opt-in?

I have started a new foundation, "1% for Slashdot"
;)
The campaign is basically to spread awareness and understanding that 1% of my surfing time is wasted right here!

Wait a minute, didn't this happen already in 2001?
My advice: learn how to fail on Wall Street and ensure a massive golden parachute for yourself
Or perhaps you're making a new TV commercial, and you need a snippet of music that sounds something like Radiohead, but a bit more mellow.
MORE mellow than 'Fake Plastic Trees?'
This actually may work, especially if you are selling some sort of sleeping aid or anti-anxiety medication.

The TRUE Ninja handbook can never be found.
It slips silently into the shelves of the library, never to be seen again.
Okay, one download is fine as long as they offer an alternative of shipping you one DVD.
Otherwise, you haven't really bought anything.
I always said if you had poorly-written code or spam clogging up your inbox, you would need a Venema.
Supposed you were to get stuck near the very top in space? Who is going to come and rescue you? Ultra-Man? Optimus Prime? Godzilla?
It certainly isn't going to be Otis or the Fire Department.
By the way Comcast is treating its 'customers' as criminals lately, I thought this might have read...
Customers Discontinue Comcast's Service
After years working on Windows & OSX I have found they both fail, both have their quirks, both are imperfect.
PCs are cheaper, Macs are prettier
Take your pick
People are people
Sorry to be the PC police here, but...
Did you mean: Karma police ?
It has been reported that Vindaloo sauce is being used as a cheap replacement for rocket fuel- careful! that is very very HOT!

Investigators can probably find anything on your computer no matter what O/S you use.
Microsoft just made it alot easier.
