Bay 12 Games Forum

Those experts have themselves publicly aknowledged that they were invited to the country and all of their expenses including travelling and work fees were paid by the party, which loses the most by having e-voting, Estonia's Central Party. Two books on the subject have also been funded by that party and other experts have said, that the systems are more secure than the ones that even banks use.

About the Central Party(Keskerakond). They have a very specific voter, namely very old people and Russians who do not want to fully integrate into Europe. Most who vote digitally are younger people who do not support that party. E-voting has also very strongly increased the percentage of people going voting, those are working people and youth, a demographic that is totally against the Central party's agenda.

The Central Party is despised for a number of reasons: Sell outs to Putin(Recently the head of the party made a statement in Russia saying the the Ukrainian government in Kiev is illegitimate), stupid things like municipal police which are used to tear down rivalry campaigns and annoy the general public and this unit is totally under the control of that party, a municipal store, TallinnTV which pretty much nobody watches and the people doing it are saying that it is awful(used for party propaganda and funded by the city), a municipal bank which will not even be capable of half the services our local banks or the Nordic banks can provide. The party is also working to stop the integration of immigrants into our society and it has worrying ties to Moscow.

The party controls the city of Tallinn and is making it into a pseudo-welfare city that can't hold itself up. The only reason that party has so much power is because of a lot of very old people voting for it and unintegrated Russians. Actually the only regions it wins in is Ida-Virumaa(pretty much Russian) and Tallinn.

Really, the amount of what the party is doing wrong and how bad the head of the party, Edgar Savisaar, is to Estonia is probably worth an entire book. Unfortunately I believe that international press on them is lacking.

PS: They also want to abolish a day in the city which is dedicated in memory to everybody who was influenced by the Soviet deportation, which they got a lot of criticism for and is another grab to gain popularity in the Russian spheres.

To change the value one must hack into a government level protected system.

Hell, it is easier to steal millions of dollars/euros from a bank that way than to change the votes.

Digital votes are tied to your ID card, which is what is used for voting and the personal codes are to log into the system and then to cast the vote.

We have had e-voting in Estonia for years now, starting from 2005. We have also taken part in the European Parliament e-voting. Our e-voting systems are much more secure than those that even banks use.

Then again we are probably the most digitized country in the world, since pretty much everything can be done by home with your ID card, we also have Mobile-ID. Our medical data is held in cloud storage and you can declare your taxes from your mobile. Life in that aspect is made very easy and accessible. I also mean absolutely no harm when I say that when I travel around even Europe, then it feels like stone-age since I am so used to what we have here. We have free wifi pretty much even in the middle of the forest, G3 connection and as I previously said, easy connection with the state. Hell Maastricht University is sending me my application results via regular post and wants me to send a copy of my diploma also via regular post. I have never used the postal service in Estonia before, because everything is done by digitally signed digital documents.

Europa Universalis IV is going for 10 euros in the Humble store. Should I pick it up or wait for a better deal that maybe includes an expansion or so?

Right guys, I'll be getting myself a laptop, since I'm going to uni this year. I have needed a laptop for many years now put postponed it till the start of uni to get a more state of the art one. I have the following requirements:

1. Must be travel friendly, as in light and with a long battery life, approx 13 inches.
2. A high to a very high quality keyboard as I do a lot of typing now and the quantity will just increase further with uni.
3. A high definition screen
4. Good amounts of CPU and RAM for some programming and some games for when I am bored.
5. Built well, so it would survive my 3-5 years of uni and not become obsolete.

My current favourite is the Macbook Air. As it is very travel friendly with about 12 hours of battery and it is very light. Macs also have good keyboards.

My budget is somewhere around 1500 euros. So please, suggest to me some high functionality laptops that meet my requirements as best they can.

So I discovered something very interesting during this year's Eurovision. After the semi-final I glimpsed upon some tabloids saying that Russia's song talks about occupying Crimea and Russia's empirical ambitions. After I listened to the song again, it did seem to me like so.

So there are two options with this:

a) This is a wonderful little thing that shows just how easily manipulated the human brain is to read something that is actually not there. (A known effect with conspiracy theorists who listen to music backwards and think that it is the devil)

b) It really does talk about Russia's empirical ambitions.

I don't really think much of it and am leaning towards option a. Russia did have a good song though. I also really liked Ukraine's gigantic hamster wheel and Iceland's song was really fun.
