First, there's no such thing as a "democrat party" it's called the "democratic party"
Second, this isn't an R vs D problem, it's a physics problem because humans can not see the electronic signals inside these (doped with no oversight) pieces of silicone, regardless of the arrangement which is going to electronically represent in digital logic the tabulation of these election ballots. A poll watcher is a moot point, when you were not present 24/7 from the initial doping process, through assembly, manufacture, and down to deployment at the local polling place level, where you and I vote.
Third, when you can't provide oversight, you have garbage in, when your trying to tabulate garbage, you end up with garbage.
Fourth, being as there's no audit "trail" , and no human oversight from start to finish, you can't recount unvalidatable trash.
Fifth, the final outcome is always destructive, by electing oath breaking termites, everything becomes corrupted by propagating more oath breakers to destroy more stuff, and release everything from accountability of the existing law.
Sixth, you can quote all the fucking numbers you want, the reality is you still haven't counted the peoples vote.
Seventh, I give you Kudo's on also correctly recognizing the fact that electronic parts fail sometimes, for no reason, they fail, and for reasons they fail, they can burn out, they can overheat and give really weird output, but the sad fact is nobody is destructively reverse engineering these devices for exploits of malicious intent. Just cause something's burnt up, doesn't mean it failed, it may have failed with a purpose internally, like changing it's internal logic around and burning the channel shut. Clearly electronic semi conductors can not ever be trusted with this in mind as every machine would need to be destroyed to be audited fully for tampering, and even then, we still might not SEE it!
Now here's my opinion. (I didn't say fact) You want an open primary? Fine, Outlaw all electronic vote tabulation devices, and have an election which uses all paper ballots, all counted by all publicly interested parties, the public must provide 24/7 chain of custody, from the moment the poll opens to the moment the entire election is finally tabulated, and even then it ought be stored in a vault afterward with oversight from all interested public parties. Or transported to a vault by all interested parties. Where ever it goes it can not be allowed to have the "chain of custody" tampered with. If it is tampered with, then the election must start over. The other part of this is reform the way the SOS does it's policies and procedures. You can't have a corrupt sheriff in charge of kicking poll watchers out, and especially at the expense of breaking the "chain of custody" , which if you happen to look right now, not many deputies have asm programming and electronic manufacturing under their belt. So clearly local LEO (Law enforcement for short) is being exploited by whatever politician wants to put pressure or just straight up conspire to steal shit (like we already have seen.) So clearly there has to be some kind of check to this kind of exploit of power. Perhaps specifically trained election cops, to counter it all, and if need be they call local LEO for assist. But the days of rolling up poll watchers on faux charges, then releasing them after the election is over, breaking the chain of custody, has to stop for it to work. I really hope your feeling what I am saying here.
The next problem is the Electoral College. And I don't know what to say about that, personally I want it outlawed also, but FIRST these electronic vote tabulation devices have to go! Buy Paper, Pay humans, uh, if you can't get workers, do it like we do Jury Duty, your called to duty, you serve.
The other thing which I have been saying all along now, is this is literally a national security problem.
You don't know who is electing our reps. Could be the chip manufacturer in Korea, or China. You don't know though, because you haven't looked.
It's absolutely fucking amazing to me, these scumbag motherfuckers have no problem keeping the vote hidden electronically from the public. (Humans can not see electronic signals)
Until now, NOW someone's finally been elected to piss these treasonous domestic terrorists off. You get a zero budget Marine Vet who swore an oath to protect the Constitution against all enemies.
But the shit ass treasonous fuckers who are driving America off the cliff can't have that.
Look you dumb fucking pro machine domestic terrorists, there's only one way to use electronic vote tabulation devices and know your vote was counted, that's if you give up your transparency, and go into an all out confirmation loop.
example: "did my vote go for x or y? y, no I said x, y? no x. Okay X is confirmed. X confirmed. Thanks.
But before you rotten seeds say, " okay lets give it up " I will remind you the reason transparency was made to be a law in the first place is because dumb motherfuckers like you got wacked for voting against the thugs and tyranny. No dumb motherfuckers like you give up the ENTIRE fucking thing by allowing unauditable, unvalidatable electronic vote tabulation devices.
My God, LOOK THE FUCK AROUND YOU, HOW WELL ARE THESE MACHINES AND OATH BREAKERS WORKING OUT FOR YOU?!
I find it amazing these "journalists" (sic) have time to foist opinion about newfangled slang e-verbs folks have created out of the necessity of brevity, when there other problems in the world.
Like oh say, the possibility of doomsday in New York if the government shut's down.
It would be far more in the public interest if these "journalists" (sic) could start using words like
Broken Oath of office
Corruption
Bribes
Treason
Bankrupt Government
coup
Of course it could simply a NYT ego dick measuring contest because not many folks go "NYT-ing" anymore. Gee I wonder why.
Nothing good comes to the people from spying on the people or modifying their data. It only gives the Powers That Be a better knife to slice us up with.
While this is a non-issue for most hardened people out there, it does beg the question.
Are we just one update cycle away from "lights out?"
(Where "lights out" means our systems are down and not productive because they have been broken in some way because of a scheduled update.)
I noticed Ars only use's the win 7 updater. Hope that's not the future trend.
If you've been around for any amount of time you know these toolbars are all crap for the most part and any little benefit you might get, quickly becomes old, and eventually a waste of productive real estate space on your monitor. As you harden over the years, you don't install such crap in the first place.
But I have to admit, I must have been psychic, cause unlike other updates in 2010, I had this "feeling" I should wait a day or two on this patch Tuesday 6/08/2010 And sure enough some people got bit.
With all the lies in the world we don't need deceptions from our "trusted sources" even minor deceptions. I agree with your bold two liner, for the most part your spot on, but it seems there is a complaint here by folks who had only installed it on one thing, having it force installed on another. What if say someone in firefox doesn't want it when they DO want it in IE. Your saying the toolbar is one size fits all. While we are saying, keep your fucking toolbar out of my 4 portable firefox's opera's and whatever else you feel like attacking from the known paths. If I come to you with IE presented, only present IE with shit. It's lazy and it's deceptive, and it questions trust itself.
But for the most part I agree with you.
Boy, I just can't wait to have the web screwed up even more, by a series of "state secret" over-reactions and lies.
First the spying goes up
Then costs go up
Then some event happens
Then more BS is rolled out in response
It won't matter what the truth is.
Use the resonant frequency force LUKE!
Force the O2's out with LARRY'S SPHERES
Redesign the " plasma / burn " it to be "resonant" e.g. redesign a 70's era muscle car
Never store more H than you need to buffer you power requirements. DUMP H when things don't need it, or AIR BAGS deploy
Toss out text books and study what exists. like that guy that kills virus's with RF!
Your PHD/ whatever is p3wn to me
After the bugs are worked out
RE-TOoL the fucking planet
Fly to the moon and steal all the water!
Vote these officials out.
I mean wtf, come on.
We have big problems in America, and officials have time to regulate fricking toys?
What about the HFCS crap in the FOOD for god sakes!? OR Sodium.
They're dealing with fucking toys while our monetary system is going to shit.
The FCC should be able to do something.
If they get the authority, they'll do something alright.
But the reality is they can't even stick to their original mission statement. I'll tell you how well the FCC has managed power and frequency. Ask the ARRL hams , ask about BPL. Or simply look at the "public spectrum" it's nearly completely "corporate owned!" Do you not see this? Do you not see the past history and fascist abuse of this FAILED AGENCY!?
Your problems bud are with Comcast and Vonage.
Don't invoke big brother to solve your crappy service problems, you'll make service for everyone crappy.
I'll bet you didn't serve in the military, which explains why you can't understand the forces in play here.
If you have a past history of a failed (and MISSING) mission statement, and you manage power and frequency from a fascist standpoint instead of from an engineering standpoint in the public interest, and then you give them more authority, you deserve to have your just fruits.
In this case it will be a crackdown on freedom as the FCC tightens the screws, ISP's will simply shift the cost! Furthermore if the FCC get's authority, they will never let it go. You will live with this crap forever into the future.
Your argument is the one that's weak, mostly because you didn't take into consideration the PAST HISTORY of the FCC and FTC.
Neither agency can do their CURRENT JOB correctly.
The monetary system failure is because of the Senate both D and R's PERIOD. They removed Glass-Stegal! They allowed and indeed encouraged FRAUD!
WAKE THE HELL UP!
The FCC want's the new authority so they can manage it like the wonderful job they have done regulating power and frequency from a fascist standpoint instead of an engineering standpoint in the public interest.
The only thing this will do is cost more (Comcast will SHIFT the cost) while simultaneously eating away at public interest, by constantly tightening the regulation screws.
I'm not going to be crying about it; I am SCREAMING about it NOW.
DENY THE FCC any new authority, they can't even follow their own mission statement to this very day!!!
B.S. The FCC can't even stick to it's original mission statement, they have squandered the "public spectrum" to be nearly completely "corporate owned."
Managing power and frequency from a fascist point of view as opposed to an engineering point of view in the public interest.
The FCC can't even realize and stick to it's original (now missing) mission statement.
And you want to give the FCC more Authority.
It's a fascism death wish.
And remember if they are given this authority, it will NEVER GO AWAY! It will incrementally piss people off and eventually destroy what we have.
FIX NET NEUTRALITY ANOTHER WAY,
NOT WITH GOVERNMENT REGULATION!
Half you stupid fuckers don't get it, but if you served in the military you would understand, how this shit only gets worse.
NO FCC, NO FTC Neither agency can do their EXISTING JOB correctly to this very date!!!!!!!!
NO NO NO NO NO!!
God damn it NO!
The rule on staying alive as a program manager is to give 'em a number or give 'em a date, but never give 'em both at once.
