How about a script that replaces both with Debian packages?

I don't know about you, but I find this story really dark.

Oh, no! China has turned into the ultimate surveillance state - England.

Linux Desktop will achieve 100% at exactly that moment when there are no more desktops.

In California I make inkspots on a piece of paper, then it is fed into a big machine. I get s sticker that says, "I voted!" Is that better?

Most of the voting systems by David Chaum. I assume others' systems as well. All of these systems work by similar methods. One common trick is that if N numbers are XOR'ed together, then any number can only be revealed by again XOR'ing with the other N-1. So your vote can be XOR'ed with something that hides the actual vote, but the combination of the two can be checked from a list. There are other methods as well. I would explain it all, but I am not a cryptographer.

It's been done: https://www.trinitydesktop.org...

There are provably secure cyptographic methods to ensure that no one can figure out who you voted for, and that you can check, after the election, that your vote was counted appropriately. These systems even include a method for providing a faked screenshot to be sold to vote buyers. The fact that almost no one uses these systems is the real problem.

I never got over the KDE3 to KDE4 transition, and switched to something else. I think KDE4 was too complex to survive long-term.

If it has to be something you can remember, then some examples are substitution cyphers (eg, rot13, but more complex substitutions work better), keyboard patterns, interleaving two words, spelling backwards, mixing two languages, &c. For example, a substitution cypher of the keyboard key up and to the left moves Password to ")qww294e". Tough choice for mobile, though. Interleave: mybank -> "m!y@b#a$n%k^". Now go make up your own.

White Sands Missile Range donated a DEC System 10 to my school district. Learned assembly on that my senior year, then went on to IBM/360 assembly at the local college the same year. So I learned valuable skills that I never again used.

I spent a year or so working on fire detection for the Orion project, which was, at the time, sending folks to the moon. Fire in space is an incredibly arcane subject, with almost nothing known. On Earth, convection is everything, but in space, there is no gravity to drive convection. In other words, hot air doesn't rise. So flames do really weird, unexpected, unintuitive things.

Why? There is no such thing as a right to be forgotten. We don't rebel against Santa Claus, do we?
