Polling places should have a stack of prefilled ballots for photo ops, one with an X at each party (ideally each person), with a large "invalid" stamp on the parts of the ballot that you are not taking a picture of.
Bonus points if they are filled in manually at the polling place, so the X will be different.
That would make it hard enough to prove anything that offering to pay for photos would be useless.

Let me guess - there are approx. zero consumer grade routers made in the US, and this was a way to get around the 1st amendment, rather than a full internet blackout like in Russia and Iran...

You're patient. By the 20 second mark, I'm in the kitchen.
(Used to be "reading slashdot", but I believe that has turned into one of those fake comparison sites a'la alternative.to).

Does it matter if they have plutonium?
Do they have Shaheeds? Yes
Is Russia willing to pay for them? Yes
What is the Shaheed to plutonium exchange rate on the black market?

I never got the feeling that they threw away the ones that seemed hard.
They started out with the view that how X11 does things is wrong. So they will not do that. If a usecase can be solved two ways, and X11 does it one way and the other requires instant teleportation, they will not do it the X11 way.

Ooh, interesting.
My thoughts were PHP injection.
Either way, there is no reasonable explanation that doesn't include the words "horribly insecure".
@ChrisMayLA6
Maybe. It seems to me that before, the goal was to make the stock prices go up, and crashing the economy was just a side effect. But after 2008, the goal has been to intentionally crash the economy to make stock prices go up.
But maybe that's just me.

... at de fjerner en "sikkerhed"...
At kræve at du har spyware installeret har ikke noget med sikkerhed at gøre.
@ChrisMayLA6
Oh, they've learned their lesson.
Crashing the economy to make money worth less causes stock prices to go UP.
Legal restrictions on those people don't exist because they don't know what they are doing. They exist because they know exactly what they are doing.

Something involving the war powers act? If only he could find some country full of brown people to invade... Preferably one with oil.
Using the war powers act may require congres to declare war, so he might need to provoke the victim into fighting back. Or he could just ignore that little detail, ignoring inconvenient rules is one of the few things he is good at.
@GeriAQuin
We're not in the twenties.
People who failed to learn anything from Y2K are in the twenties.
But then again, people failing to learn anything the first time around is the subject of the post.
@bloor
It's not. Sequel was a predecessor of SQL.
Pronouncing SQL "sequel" is like pronouncing Windows "DOS".
@jgilbert
I can just imagine a manual upgrade or rooting of a USB device, half way through writing the new firmware, the device is fully charged and the cable gets ejected.
Upgrade failed / checksom error / boot loop...
@Wintergr33n @argals
Probably Switzerland.
They may not be the only country to do it, but they are infamous for it.
As I understand, speeding fines are a percentage of the price of the car. Speeding in a Ferrari? That's going to be expensive. Speeding in a 2CV? Good luck with that.
@randahl
Need to find a way to kick Hungary out first. Maybe Slovakia as well.
@oldhaapi @arrrg @petergleick
Even "collapsed" is western propaganda.
People seriously expected an army of muslim men to defend western values like democracy and womens rights against Islam. And they were surprised when those same men rejoined their own religion in the chaos that "we" left?
@fabio
Except USB-C has a bunch of different ways of transmitting power, and once you remember that you need to multiply the number of combinations for the charger, the phone and even the cable(!) you have more more than 10-15 different combinations.
They could just have standardized "electricity over copper", and had the same results with the old connectors. Except the you'd be able to visually tell the difference.
(Weird how with mains power, Europe has standardized 230 volts 3 phase power, but not the connector, but with USB-C, they have standardized the connector but not the voltage).
