ID not required in England. Just a verbal confirmation of name and address, which is indelibly checked off a list as you are being passed your ballot and directed to the polling booth. You don't need ID for postal ballots either, which IMO is where the process breaks down since postal voting is a relatively new thing, designed to cater for the lazy and the fraudster. Ever worked in a mail office?? Any idea how many envelopes one person can stick and stamp in an hour??
if you're going to ask a security question, who better to ask than a security guy?
Or are you planning on asking him for advice on spinal surgery while you're there?
There are situations where technological advances do make life easier, and more accountable, and fairer for all. The democratic process is NOT such a situation. For fuck's sake, can we forget this voting computer bullshit and get back to PAPER ballots and HUMAN counters, which has been time-proven for the last two fucking millennia??
Because galactic forms follow known patterns, beyond certain sizes those patterns change, so knowing the size range of those types...) you can estimate the distance first by visual observation (simply measure its apparent width) then trig it. If that matches the redshift observations (which you can measure using spectroscopy), then you're there.

Having political opinion shoved down your throat as fact is the same thing as a street evangelist following you around with a loudhailer. It might be free speech but it is HARASSMENT when you are clearly walking away with NO INTENTION of listening.
No. I'll go one step further. It's like a penis. It's all good having religion or a political opinion because it shows at least some awareness of the world outside your immediate bubble, and you should be rightly proud of your wang, but the SECOND you start shoving it down people's throats, conversations shall be had. In the Roman sense of the word.
the second one. I found no need to upgrade as what I have does what I want it to do, and does it well.

no, money is infinite, it's generated and stored as numbers on an electronic ledger. Cash is the foldy stuff.
So much this. I was a bit pensive with Win7, but seeing the taskbar and quicklaunch integrated made it soooo slick... like what OSX has had since FOREVER... changed the theme to 2K and went full performance rather than choke my laptop up with pretties (I want my databases to respond YESTERDAY). I have a Beryl desktop on a Linux VM which is what I have going when I'm not doing the ironing with the machine. Kicks arse out of Aero.
...would be "Can we have a one-click solution to REMOVING CORTANA FOR GOOD if we don't actually want it?"
Where did Verizon find 5 billion in *cash*?? Inside the mattress??
I tell them to turn to the study of mathematics, for it is only there that they might escape the lusts of the flesh. -- Thomas Mann, "The Magic Mountain"
