Hacking the Presidential Election
An anonymous reader writes "Security researchers at a recent summit predicted US voters will be targeted by web-based dirty tricks campaigns as the 2008 election gets nearer. Spam, botnets and phishing all provide good opportunities to mislead voters and attack rivals with little risk of being caught, they say."
*sarcasm* It'll probably be the same dozen or so guys who have been spamming all the web polls & Digg for Ron Paul. I wonder how they managed to scrape up $5.1 million though? */sarcasm*
Taking guns away from the 99% gives the 1% 100% of the power.
..the easiest, lowest-risk modern methods for criminally furthering one's agenda are likely to be used by modern criminals to further their agendas.

I imagine some soldiers thought the same thing when they heard that the enemy had invented the machine gun.
I don't want to start a holy war here, but what is the deal with you democracy fanatics? I've been sitting here at my freelance gig in front of an FBI agent (Fox Mulder) for about 20 minutes now while he attempts to extract 17 names from a terrorist in Camp X-Ray to another FBI agent. 20 minutes. At home, on my Inquisition-era rack and vise replica, which by all standards should be a lot slower than this FBI agent, the same operation would take about 2 minutes. If that.
In addition, during this name transfer, scapegoating the Democrats will not work. And everything else has ground to a halt. Even Fox News is straining to keep up as I type this.
I won't bore you with the laundry list of other problems that I've encountered while working with various democratic institutions, but suffice it to say there have been many, not the least of which is I've never seen a democracy that has run faster than its fascist counterpart, despite the democracies' faster marketplace of ideas. My banana republic with 8 torture specialists runs faster than this 300-million person democracy at times. From a productivity standpoint, I don't get how people can claim that democracy is a superior system of government.
Democracy addicts, flame me if you'd like, but I'd rather hear some intelligent reasons why anyone would choose to use a democracy over other faster, cheaper, more stable governments.
Are you telling me that voting republican will not ad inches to my penis and make me attractive to women?

:) GNAA and the goatse posts ain't got nuthin on what this puppy is going to do. If it doesn't max out negative within an hour I'll be very disappointed.
You are confusing cause and effect. The truth is that Alpha Males with large penises tend to be Republicans. Along with the sort of real women who marry such real men. Lesser specimens of manhood, women who can't attract a mate (or don't want one), gays, etc. who know themselves to be unfit, vote for Democrats who promise to take care of the poor pathetic creatures.
Note that Democrat leader types are also often Alpha Males (Bill and Hillary Clinton both come to mind) but such personality types are rare in the rank and file. Regardless of party, you pretty much have to be an Alpha with zero self esteem issues to even want high political office.
And THAT folks is how to troll.
