Haha! Not only is it back, I've paid for extra storage (1.99 for 50GB). More than I need (today) for images and documents. If I get to the point where that isn't enough I can get 1TB. Seems to be as good as any other cloud storage app.
It seems to work pretty well and may put my NAS drive out of business.

This is why no-one really considered possible of Scotland vote to leave, government wasn't afraid
This also why they cried that Crimea vote "unauthorized", because it hasn't use those machine

The Scottish vote used the same method as all other UK votes. Paper and pencil! The Government was afraid enough to promise all manner of things (some of which they've even had to implement) in the final week of the campaign.

In the video was paper too...

But the "paper" isn't fed through a counting machine in the UK. The votes are counted manually with many eyes watching the process.

Guys,
I am sorry. I was not check the info.

In my community, at least, the papers don't go through a shredder. They actually allow for a recount.

He probably just flipped the read-only slider on the memory card, so the counting machine could only read back what he'd entered earlier.

But the power-on process verified that there were 0 votes initially on the memory card.

Dunno. I completely lost interest in it, and stopped paying attention.

I think this is a clip from the documentary Hacking Democracy (2006)[^]. I'm going to try to get it from my local library.

I have been against computer voting since before it got loose.
My reasoning is that self modifying code can be written that would work absolutely accurately until a certain event occurs (date, time, and vote-count) and then start miscounting votes at a leisurely pace for a while - the that part of the code modifies itself so it cannot be traced. That's just one route. That, and the quick pick of Dibold, a company with strong political connections, was rather suspicious.
But the real reason we're doomed, of course, is that with about 370 million of us, the best candidates they could come up with are what we got running in these primaries. Only the fact that we've witnessed that we could elect a talking head for president and the country still rolls along. That some politicos would take stands that they know will hurt the country just to make their point (=throw their fit) - that's where the danger lies.
Yeah - I guess you should worry.

So how did they do it?
(and frankly, if this were done to ensure Trump didn't win, I wouldn't mind!)

Yup.
Everyone's in favour of cheating if it means that their team wins -- but screams bloody murder if the other team wins by cheating.
People suck, that's all there is to it.

When it comes to politics, I don't have team I vote for, sadly it's usually a team I vote against.

Well.. at the risk of turning this into a soapbox discussion, the real fraud is that so-called voter-fraud is being sold as a problem in order to justify new voter registration laws whose sole purpose is to disenfranchise as much of the poor and black vote as possible. Voter fraud is not a problem; never has been and never will be.

It seems a local football (soccer) club has practiced their new innovative trick, the encrypted shot.
By playing encrypted shots to their team members they hope the ball won't be intercepted by other (opposing) players.
It would take 312 years for the opponent to intercept a shot to the forward players, if they even notice the ball was kicked at all.
Spectators will probably need to get used to not seeing the team play, but at least their shot-system is now waterproof.
It's from a Dutch satirical "news" website.
