Probably not. Terms of Service would generally allow a company to do whatever they please. I imagine somewhere in there it says they reserve the right to terminate any customer account at any time for any reason.
If it is impossible to catch how did they catch these guys? Election fraud has always happened and always will, no matter what the method of voting. And some people will get caught while others get away, just like it's always been.
There are reasons to oppose electronic voting - and reasons to support it. At least be a little realistic in your opposition.
The classic problem: What happens if you put Star Wars Stormtroopers - who can't hit the broadside of a planet - up against Star Trek red shirts - who get killed the moment they do anything?
The question here is, which side is the storm troopers and which side the red shirts?
I should have structured that differently:
You'd rather spend $120/yr - and get a lower quality product - than spend $100/yr for a better product? And people wonder why the economy is in trouble.
Actually three weeks sounds pretty amazing for a wireless mouse, unless that is three weeks with very little use. A three week charge would be nice. I can only go a few days between charging mine.
"complete with optional shag carpet mousepads."
Well I keep hearing the 70's are making a comeback so... just an example of trying to be prepared for emerging markets?
I'm picky about what mouse I will use and MX Revolution is definitely at the top of my list. It's my regular use daily mouse with the MX 5000 as backup. Throw in my DiNovo Edge and my wireless world is happy.
Perhaps, but I thought it was the other way around. Either way, ad makers don't care about you seeing their ads. They want you clicking their ads and buying their products. One way I justify using adblockers is because I have never, ever clicked an ad to buy a product. I am unlikely to start now.
Plugins are different. Flash is a plugin. Adblock is an extension. Perhaps Google will just call it all plugins but until I see a clarification I'll assume plugin means plugin. The comic seems to make that plainer by what it says about plugins - they operate within the tab so if the plugin in one tab crashes the plugin in another tab keeps on going. This is not an extension. It is talking about things like flash.
I think the point was they won't be including adblocking capabilities. Whether others will develop it remains to be seen. I haven't heard any word from Google about the browser being extensible so this is something we might never see.
Personally I see nothing in Chrome to rave about. It has a few nifty features - isolated tab processes is just a good idea - but nothing so groundbreaking that it will drag me from Safari and Firefox.
First, this wasn't some edit to make the politician look better but info to provide the running mate. Second, why wouldn't a candidate or his staff edit information about the candidate? Who better knows about that candidate? One might well question bias but it's easy enough to go in and tone things down if, say, one of Obama's supporters gets a little too exuberant on his Wikipedia page. It's wikipedia. That's the way it works.
IE7 is a good browser. IE8 will be a better browser. This article is ridiculous. Not having standards mode for intranet is hardly breaking a promise. Despite the ridiculous claims of the article (50% of all page views are on an internet - as determined on the back of an envelope? And this is newsworthy?) most page visits are within the internet. Most concerns about standards compatibility are within the internet. Intranets tend to have the unique ability of setting things the way they want it anyway. It's out in the wild world of the web that developers find most of their frustrations. I maintain an intranet website and I could care less what defaults are set on a browser - I can make sure the users use whatever settings on their browsers I want them to use. I cannot do the same with internet sites. It might be puzzling why Microsoft would not enforce standards mode for intranets (but keep in mind this is only a _BETA!_ something/. exaggerators tend to frequently forget) but it hardly constitutes saying they have lied about their promises.
Once again,/. demonstrates a thoroughly unreasonable anti-Microsoft bias.
It might have been in part something for the families. Odd as it might sound, it would be much harder for them to have to bury an empty casket. Having a body to bury tends to help people deal with it a bit better.

Yes, since the world ends in 2012 anyway this claim is ridiculous.

Perhaps because there is no case to pursue? It was all somewhat bogus from the beginning. Today it's simply pointless.
I think you see where I'm going with this :D
To jail?

Do the ships from Scandinavia also turn into USS Rustbucket?

I was a bit surprised as well

Gamma Globula V just ran their first particle collision. Will we learn from their mistake?
Where is the -1 painful mod?
A billion year beta? I didn't realize Google was the creator!

That day would also spell the end of the web. Most sites exist because of ad revenue, you know.

Depends on how the mods are wired.
When were people in Kosovo launching terrorist attacks against Serbia? It sort of went the other way around.
