Comment Dumb People (Score 1) 115

The title is not talking about the ones that came up with this but all the dumbasses that instantly say it's a bad idea. Cause making voting easier for people is a horrible thing.

Could it be more secure yes but so could almost every voting machine in the US, correction the planet. Most machines have horrible security and little to no way to tell if manipulated.

Reform takes time. No system was ever overhauled all at once. Pull your head out of your asses and try looking around.

Submission + - Cuttlefish Watch 3D Movies (sciencemag.org)

wolff000 writes: A group of researchers at the University of Minnesota have shown that cuttlefish see in 3D. They did this by making 3D glasses and then showing the cuttlefish movies of prey.

"While cuttlefish wearing glasses is an unexpected sight, a University of Minnesota-led research team built an underwater theater and equipped the cephalopods with specialized 3D glasses to investigate how cuttlefish determine the best distance to strike moving prey."

Almost all major world powers limit the amount drug companies are allowed to charge. This is exactly why! I don"t give a shit about freedom or capitalism when it comes to life-saving procedures and medicines. This should be illegal and no one should make a profit on suffering. People that think this is acceptable are garbage people, in my opinion.

If you don't like it stop buying their stuff. I have. It wasn't easy. I grew up with Nintendo. I love Nintendo games. I will not ignore the fact that they do ugly shit like this on a regular basis. They attack fans and abuse a broken copyright system. I won't support that behavior. Many do this but Nintendo is the most aggressive and abusive. If enough people said enough is enough and actually stopped buying. Nintendo's tactics would change. It always comes down to money and if it proves unprofitable they will quit.

I was hired by a small IT company that supported small Mom and Pop shops, small dental offices and retail stores of various types. I was hired to streamline support and create documentation to make support more uniform. I was soon tasked with a list of quick and dirty patch jobs for various clients. The owner regularly promised more than could be provided by the small team. This created mass amounts of stress and lots of angry calls from customers.

The second issue was the boss's temper. He would often come into the office in a rage over something that happened outside the office. He would then yell and scream at the people in the office for minor delays or mistakes. Often the delays he was yelling about were delays he caused. Either by telling someone to wait or not getting his portion of the task done in time.

I quit as soon as I found another job. Actually, a week or so prior till the other job was official but stress was just too high.
