Diebold Leaks 2008 Election Results

samzenpus writes "With all the scrutiny that Diebold has received in past few years you'd think that they would be more careful but apparently due to a malfunction in some machines, they have leaked the results to the 2008 presidential race early. Hopefully this will be the nail in Diebold's coffin. Surely we have another company in this country that can run a sham election better."

end of the internet

Wow, embedding a flash movie directly on slashdot. Considering 90% don't RTFA this is going to be the worst /.ing that's ever happened!

Oh, that greyed out box with the NoScript logo is a Flash movie?
Glad it got caught by NoScript rather than FlashBlock!
Yet, I wonder. Would AdBlock Plus have caught it if those two were disabled?

I had hopped that we were still a fairly literate group of people

Yeah, I had hopped over that hurdle two.

OK, sorry guys, that was just lame...

More to the point, why does Slashdot seem to be joining the whole "audio and video" trend? I had hopped that we were still a fairly literate group of people... if I want video and pics, I'll go to digg. I come here to read. I would prefer a transcript of a video, than watching a silent show. Yes, I'm like most of you wasting my time at work and don't want to be caught by enabling audio on my workstation.

I swear, some people miss no opportunity to smugly mention their ad-blocker. What smug comment? Oh, that's right, I don't see them because I use the Smug-Block extension.

Yeah, I had hopped over that hurdle two.

How'd you do with hurdles one and three?

Guess we know who woke-and-boke this morning. In the future, hit the bong after you've posted to /. for the day. Says the guy who actually just used the 'word' "boke"

Obama's support base goes asymtotic

[caywen]

I have finally devised the complex equation of Obama's increasing support, and I found that though his support is skyrocketing in Texas, it becomes asymtotic at around March 4. On that day around 2:42pm, his support goes to infinity and will form a black hole that will kill us all. Support Hillary before it's too late.
