Evoting in India, Maryland

Anonymous Coward writes "EVMs are back in the news again. The BBC is reporting on the use of over a million Electronic Voting Machines (EVM) in India for Parliamentary elections in April. With a billion people and an electorate of 668 million, it is by far the largest democratic election exercise in the world. A picture of an EVM is provided." And Kierthos writes "An article on Yahoo! News mentions that Maryland's voting terminals will be wrapped in tamper proof tape, which 'just protects that malicious code physically', according to computer scientist Avi Rubin. Also mentioned are California's ongoing system of e-voting, as well as a point on whether Diebold should be banned in California after using uncertified software in last October's election."

No, it's been proven that the more tape you tape the slower it tapes.

I haven't seen the movie but from what I read, it really wouldn't appeal to anyone unless they were Christian (I'm an athiest BTW). Rumour has it that Mel is thinking of making more Christian movies (due to this success) so maybe his future films will explain things better.

As far as anti-Semitism is concerned, I'm not going to go there.
