  • Check 270towin.com, popularity wise he has no chance. Unfortunately we have electoral college and with that he has 50/50 chance currently.

    That’s scarily too close.

    Edit: this is why it is important to make sure you vote. Historically electoral college typically matches popular vote.

    The manipulation is possible when the turnout is low. The gerrymandering also works the best with a low turnout, and if turnout is unexpectedly high it can backfire and turn otherwise red counties into blue. This is why it is important to vote, even in the states you think your vote doesn’t matter.

    What’s ironic is that the non voting population is so high, that if they all turned in and voted they would override everyone else who normally does.

















  • Three streaming (like pointed in the other comment) was my initial reaction too, but indeed at the time https for streaming would be very rare.

    Another possibility is to realize that openssl isn’t just for communication, but also has implementation of cryptographic algorithms.

    Perhaps openssl was used for validation of licensing key? For example they could sign the license with their private key and WinAmp could verify it’s authenticity with its public key.
