It doesn't need to be. The highwaymen crack the security and force the car to deviate to a location where the highwaymen can then rob the driver. Whether or not there's a driver in the car is beside the point.
Seriously, why wouldn't Police be allowed to pull over autonomous vehicles? Unless they are completely without flaw there's always going to be a few corner cases where there would be a legitimate need. Plus sometimes the police need to pull over a vehicle because a warrant has been issued for the owner of the car, but not directly related to the driving.
You'll probably have to mail it either way. Around here I can fax it to the state, but I have to furnish an original copy by the date the vote is certified generally between 2 and 3 weeks later.
The thing is that as long as I'm a US citizen I have the right to vote. And the government is obliged to provide a reasonable method of doing so. As technology improves the options improve. At this point there's no reason why it needs to be a PITA at all.
That being said, I'm not helping their industrial base. I'm teaching them English in a rural area. The connection between those students and our competition is about as indirect as you can get. Ultimately without the ability to speak English they're cut off from a good number of news sources which would otherwise be available even in China.
Ultimately, if we allow morals to enter into the equation it represents a great shift back to the way things were at the beginning of the 20th century when certain folks weren't allowed to vote for what probably seemed like reasonable moral reasons.
It's not just the $10 it's having the time to do it and access to the other documentation. Plus, unless you drive a car that's $10 that you wouldn't otherwise need to spend.
It's worth noting that the only reason why the GOP cares about it at all is because minorities are more likely to not have photo identification than other groups are. Around here we allow several other forms of identification and despite GOP whining they haven't been able to produce any evidence of voter fraud significant enough to justify disenfranchising all those voters.
Indiana doesn't have a history of slavery and voter suppression that I'm aware of. There's a reason why South Carolina and those other Southern states are under closer scrutiny.
Around here we were segregated until the mid '70s as far as the schools go, but opted to voluntarily desegregate and as such we have more freedom than places like MO that had to be forced to desegregate.
No, the burden of proof is on the people claiming the positive result. You can never prove that there is no corruption, at best you can fail to find any. OTOH, if there really is a serious issue with voter fraud then it should be trivial to find.
You have to balance the rights of the people to vote with the need to enforce the rules. In the absence of any evidence that voter fraud is a problem there needs to be justification for changes to be made.
The burden of proof is on the people who are claiming that there's massive voter fraud. It isn't up to me to prove that it isn't common. And ultimately the bar is set fairly high because people do have a legal right to vote after they turn 18 unless they have had their rights taken away.
That makes a lot more sense than the title suggested. The Firefox devs have been working for quite a while to split the browser up to better make use of multicore processors and it seemed a bit odd that they would be going backwards and cramming all javascript into one process.
Of course the article said as much that these containers are on a per tab basis and hopefully that will help people who have tons of tabs open at once still be able to browse when one unrelated script freezes on a different tab.
As the internet continues to develop and fewer people started out with dial up, I'm not sure how long that's going to remain the case. I remember having to use a crappy web app at a previous job logging things and it would freeze or crash so frequently that standard practice was to log everything on paper first and then copy that into the application.
You do largely have a point, but during that time there was a workaround. If you for whatever reason didn't want to close the browser regularly there was a memory trim on minimize fix that would force it to trim memory. I found that to work effectively.
But, yes you are correct between the 2.0 release and the 3.5 release where it was fixed that was about 3 years. Although, I probably should give them some credit for the time during which they were fixing it.
A Head in the Polls was great, but I also like that seen from The Day The Earth Stood Stupid when they all go out to join the Reform Party and in more recent airings the TEA Party.
That's precisely my problem for the next year. I don't believe that the Chinese authorities or the US customs officers are going to be opening my ballots, but they could and even if they don't the ballots could be lost in the mail. I'd rate the risk of the ballot being lost as much more significant than government tampering.
There's also the issue of post mark. It's going to be a minimum of 6 weeks between when they mail me my ballot and when they receive the completed ballot and that's going to make it quite tight. Unfortunately in order for it to be accepted it has to either be postmarked by the USPS by election night or it has to be received. I'm going to have to read up a bit more to confirm, but I don't like the idea of being disenfranchised in this way.
The reason why it's considered racist is that the only reason there's any interest in using such a card is to prevent the poor and those of color from participating.
But, more importantly, it's not a problem. The GOP continually makes a big deal out of voter fraud, but the reality is that the voter fraud that exists is rare. Only a handful of people are prosecuted in any given year.
The reality here is that you have to balance the security of votes cast with the right of people to vote. Now in the future if voter fraud becomes a problem and there's some evidence to suggest that people are voting under an assumed name, then we can start worrying about that. Until then this is just a cynical attempt by the GOP to institute a poll tax for political gain.
You're telling me. I was on a jury once for a month. The court staff and judge were all super nice as long as we followed the rules and held up our end, but it's tiring and time consuming under the best of situations. You spend 4 days a week going back and forth between trial and hanging out in a room with a group of people you have only one thing in common with. And that one thing you have in common you're not allowed to talk about until deliberations.
It wasn't really that miserable, but I can definitely understand why people would be on FB there if they're on FB normally.
The handicap spots I kind of understand, I don't park in those ever, but I can understand people being frustrated having to park a block away when there's not just one or two handicap spots going unused.
As somebody that's a week out from moving overseas, I can assure you that it's not quite that simple. It typically takes up to 3 weeks for mail to get between here and there and for a $30 fee I can cut that down to a week. During which time the mail may or may not get through.
Voting online is something that does have risks, but you have to keep in mind that the number of votes that are likely to be eligible are going to be fairly small and that particularly in WA state it isn't easy to tell what the vote is supposed to be as long as the signature looks good.
Just because you have 64-bits doesn't mean you have to use them for everything. I suppose you insist upon using a 64-bit text editor as well. Considering how much time and energy the developers spend trying to minimize memory use, I'm not really sure why they would go and undo all that just to use 64bits.
I was curious about that myself. Multithreaded should better for performance when one has multiple scripts and multiple tabs.
But, I do see your point, if the tools aren't there to make things work together, I kind of wonder if that isn't part of the problem I've been having lately with scripts not responding and the interface freezing randomly.
Which is why they always cream the competition in the benchmarks? Seriously, the only time I've ever seen it waste memory was during a session where Silverlight crashed. In general it tends to use very little in the way of memory.
OTOH, given your post, I can only assume that you're using lynx, tons of extensions or are some sort of troll.
No, it's because you posted it a matter of like 6 minutes after the first poster did. Unless the competition includes a time travel application, I think it's safe to say you wouldn't have ended up with first post on those either.
When I browse with Noscript enabled I tend to find that a significant portion of sites aren't usable without scripts loaded. So, I have a feeling that this is probably going to be an improvement in that respect.
However, I am curious about what happens to ones ability to only allow certain scripts to run if they're all being loaded immediately via a compressed header.
How much could you possibly gain? It seems like most of the scripts that cause the problems are themselves loading other scripts that load other scripts or reference data on a different server usually sending data both ways. Mutliplexing might help a bit, but if you've got 3 or 4 layers of scripts you shouldn't see that much improvement.

Honestly, I trust them more than I trust Diebold. http://rawstory.com/news/2008/Documents_reveal_Georgia_was_warned_of_0730.html You can look at other coverage, but this is a fairly accurate accounting of what's known.
At least with MS, you can be assured that it isn't corruption, just incompetence if the results aren't right.

According to the Wikipedia he's British. And there's no reference to him moving to the US and becoming a citizen either.
The Wikipedia could be wrong, but it seems more likely in this case that he's not American.
