EFF Sues NC Election Board
Kludge writes "The EFF is suing the NC elections board. The board certified several voting machine manufacturers although none of the manufacturers would comply with the state law (passed unanimously) that the machine code be kept in escrow."
Robert Sheckley died yesterday.
I don't know if any of you, guys, care. I tried submitting the story but it's rejected.
For me personally this is more important than EFF suing anyone.
There were no big new releases, no TV announcements. But it is not important for those of us who loved his work.
I read my first short story by Sheckley 22 years ago - Ghost V. I was in a hospital in Ukraine and read it in Russian (found it in a Russian magazine: Young Technologist, aimed at people like the ones you will find on this site.) Since than I had to go and find every single book he has ever written and read it.
I just want to say: Thank You, Robert. Rest in peace. I hope one day someone finds the Laxian Key.
You can't handle the truth.
