Slashdot Mirror
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."
on behalf of redhat, I claim this fp
I walked out of The Passion not two hours ago. It was worse than many made for tv movies. For example, the never ending close ups of Mary's one tear. If the mother-son relationship was too complex to take in through 10 teary closeups, exactly the same, Mel offers a flashback of a child Jesus falling down and Mary running to him, juxtaposed with Jesus bearing the cross, falling down, with Mary running to him. See the connection?
Then there's the blood splattering everywhere, all the time, with never ending slo-mo. When the cat-o-nine tails rips Jesus' flesh and exposes ribs, now that's human torment that can really drive a religious experience.
Crucifiction was a spectacle of Death, abolished for that reason.
Luckily, we have Mel to thank for bringing the spectacle back 2000 years later.
Great linking. No, really, its great.
how come i get a microsoft advert on the right hand side, or a microsoft advert at the centre page?
good old slashdot... sponsored by microsoft.
Let me know when you're not accepting dirty money and I'll be back.
See you next year.
What, what? I am just saying Slashdot is going to Slashdot itself one of these days from all the 404 generated pages. I mean, is it that hard for the Editors to check links?
I am not complaining, but please, think of the Domokon.
To save the niggers. Shrub was very entertaining as usual with his rose garden speech about protecting freedom blah blah blah. Anyway I encourage every merkin to vote for shrub again as he is truly a very talented comedian. Thanks.

Jim Caviezel is Jewish.
Although he could pass for Italian.
No, it's been proven that the more tape you tape the slower it tapes.
You are being MICROattacked, from various angles, in a SOFT manner.
