Wrong. Read http://www.ibz.rrn.fgov.be/ind...
Basically, the problem occured when going into a party list, canceling and choosing a different party.
The issue did occur in the voting machine's software, and the central vote collecting system correctly handled, detected the inconsistency, and refused to process the invalid vote data.

Yeah. I want a dual touch-screen clamshell smartphone. Now. One that actually flips open in the right direction, too, you know, the direction so that you can actually use it to call, and so that people can actually hear what you're saying on the other side of the line.

Also, to you smartphone users, I can't hear a thing you say when you call me. Please talk closer to your microphone next time, thank you.

Yes, I already got it all set up back to how it looked and worked originally...
The thing is, if they want to make a browser that looks completely different, then they should just publish it as a new product, instead of replacing what people are using the browser for with what they're using other browsers not for.

That, and, nobody I know likes the new user interface. In fact the majority simply refuses to upgrade, or downgraded after they did upgrade...

Kind of like Windows Vista. Most people only used it because it basically was forced upon them (although personally I found it better than XP...), a whole bunch of people just downgrade their systems, and sure you can configure it to look like classic, but that's not a fix is it?

Comment Re:Consoles Done For? (Score 1) 353

Yup. I've heard from some relatively large companies in the industry that they'll be jumping onto the OnLive system as their target 'console' platform. Only costs the user a comparatively cheap receiver box or a pc, and a broadband internet connection. Game developers also don't need to worry about hackers (as long as the OnLive network itself doesn't get hacked), or illegal copies, and the hardware is all at the provider's side (with quite a few ISPs globally being involved apparently), so there's also no need for the end-user to upgrade any hardware every so many years. Plus it seems they give a 30 minute trial of the full game without network and savegame, for every game in their marketplace it seems, so that's a pretty fair way to try out a game before you buy it. And you can do the 30 minute trial over and over again without costing you anything, if it doesn't bother you to restart the game from the beginning every time.
