An Open Letter To Diebold

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the do-things-better dept.

jcatcw writes "Computerworld's Rob Mitchell tells Diebold President and CEO Thomas Swidarski how to regain Diebold's reputation instead of throwing in the e-voting towel. He recommends full disclosure of all existing problems, a process for disclosure of future problems, hiring of some real professionals as CTO and as an advisory group, and public testing. 'Surely if Diebold can make a secure ATM there is no reason why it cannot make secure and reliable e-voting apparatus in which the public has confidence.'"

    I'm tagging everything I see with a "itsatrap" tag with "shutyourtrap". "itsnotatrap" and "!itsatrap" are clearly too indirect.

    Really would like to see some more info about tags - how many people must tag the story with a particular tag before it shows up for everyone? i.e. How many people are tagging every single last story with this "itsatrap" nonsense?

    Ever heard the story about the little boy who cried wolf? What happens when Bill Gates invites Linus Trovalds over for dinner, but Linus ritually ignores the "itsatrap" tag attached to the headline and ends up brainwashed and wandering around in Prague wondering where his right hand is?

    You gonna think it's so funny then? Huh? Huh? Huh?

    Go ahead, waste your mod point on this nondeserving AC post... but I'm warning you...

    itsatrap, shutyourtrap (Tagging Beta no workie)

    Offtopic? No, itsatrap! Now shutyourtrap.
