Florida County Asks Students To Crack Elections
imAck writes: "After the election fiasco last year in Florida, many have discussed the possibilities of using a computerized voting system to replace the old punch-card ballot system. Florida's Broward county is considering buying a $20 million dollar computerized touchscreen system to handle future elections. What makes the story interesting is how they are planning to test the system for security holes.
The county plans on holding mock elections in high schools and at senior citizen communities. They are actually asking the students to try and hack into the system during the mock elections to learn of possible security issues." I wonder if Broward County would look into spending their money on hardware and supporting development of the GNU Project's existing electronic voting software.
hmmm......typos are fun
I can just see Broward county's new and improved ballot form if they incorporate the feedback from their Teenagers and Senior Citizens; a psychadelic form written in size 18 font.
On a more historic note, personally, I am of the opinion that if you don't have the mental capacity required to fill out the form in the first place or at the absolute least ask for help (!!!), then your vote really shouldn't count anyway.
Will you also suck my dick?
wow, this really cares em that this got modded up, this guy is asking people to launch a disctributed denian of service attack againt a company who he say(and we have no proof) screwed him over.

This just in, Slashdot popular technical news site, has misused the term "hacker" more than thre times in the last week. CNET says "This was once the place for ignorant journalists and MSNBC articles, now Slashdot joins the ranks".
That is right, despite the fact that a large majority of open-source developers are apart of the "hacker anti-defimation association" an organization against the mis-use of the term "hacker", Slashdot continue to abuse the term even though man news sites who are not even technically oriented know the difference between hacker and cracker.
Anyone ever here of Spell Check? Sorry, Had to be done!
How do we know you don't work for their competition? Or maybe you could be a pissed-off ex-employee.
Ben "You have your mind on computers, it seems."
Imagine you are a hacker in florida. Imagine you figure out how to hack the election system in the "mock" election. As a hacker, would you really let the government know that you figured out the security holes, or would you wait...and exploit them in a real election?
France.
I'm sorry to be trollin' like this, but I dont understand the Eric Raymond part of that joke.

crack?
Don't you know it's called "grammer" in this context?
do they understand this?
The phrase will be "dirty hippie president". In the past, we used to call that "Clinton".
I'm gonna smack you upside the head.
... and Slashdot community asks Slashdot editors to stop smoking crack while posting news. Hopefully that will improve spelling
