How do people feel about prop 60: porn condoms?

It would be fun to do political work on that. Sitting around a commuter station with a clipboard asking people about how they feel.

Not too shabby.

54 has electrical and hacking issues.
57 needs to clearly state non violent crimes such as high speed pursuits, B&E, and drug dealing.
58 can`t happen, you go to other countries and you follow their rules and languages, Same here should they come.
60 will suck for women or Buck giving BJ`s. That thing snaps and........
61 removes an incentive for sacrificing.

For 54...

You think they're typed on a typewriter or something?

All you'd need to do is make the document publicly available on a website.

Hackers follow key strokes and can make the page or site appear as they wish. If it`s always down, How can you have any pudding ?

No they can't, not without access to the server.

If they can access the server, we're fucked anyway.

Hacking a State Govt server will get you put in a hole for a great many years tho, that's why people tend to hack the private sector.

Hacking the Gov. server from China wont. I`m not privy at all in that field but I remember what overloading did to ACA website.

SneekyNinja said:

That's because people were using a script on the website to sign up.

Simply viewing a document is far more simplistic and far less of a load on a server.

Govt security is insanely tight, they use encryption that could potentially take longer than a human lifetime to brute force.

I talked real quick with someone that kinda knows about websites,...they said the Gov. will cram it with advertisements and it`ll load slow so you don`t miss any and nobody will take interest.

$$$$$$$ is behind that.

You're already talking to someone who knows about it.

Your other source is a bullshitter.

Are you saying there will be no ads. on it ?

SneekyNinja said:

Ads != Automatic Slowdown

Most ads are actually trivial to run because they're only a frame displaying an ad from an external site.

The problem is when people use massive files to make the ads and some websites still display them, which is highly unlikely for a Govt website.
