    The BEST (and I mean the *BEST*) technology comes from open standards, open innovations, open technology, and open minds.

    That's just one reason why Linux, Slashdot, etc. are the best at what they do. Too bad there's no Open Source voting company that can put Diebold in their place.

    Diebold is evil.

    That's what they get for running Windoze!

    Most poll-goers will go back home convinced they're criminals and go into hiding.

    ...when we will atleast have a semblance of knowing just how things went?

    Slashdot: the favorite board of the Kneejerks. But we already know this based on the professed undying devotion to how perfect Linux is.... nevermind that something as fundemental as setting up a printer is damn near impossible regardless of how "cool" everyone says CUPS is.

    You Stallman-ites all sound the same. "But everything has to be free, as in speech!" Shut the freak up. It sounds like a freaking broken record.

    These are not competing goals. Diebold can maximize shareholder value BY creating reliable and easy to use voting machines. This system has worked time and time again. There is nothing that you or the other brainwashed /. zombies can say to dispute these facts.
