Posted by samzenpus on from the curiosity-killed-the-cat dept.

whatajoke writes "Hari Prasad, a security researcher in India who had demonstrated the vulnerability of electronic voting machines used in all elections in India, was arrested by the police on charges of stealing an electronic voting machine. The election commission of India has maintained that EVM are non-hackable. The election commission had previously provided access to the device to the security researchers for a day and asked for a hack in only that time."

    Will these be digital too.

    Will these also receive the BBC and Voice of America on short wave too?

    The hands free folk will also mandate an FM transmitter to enable the speakers in the car to be activated. And since my 77 Ford F150 only has AM we also need an AM transmitter.

    The fact that at the moment the parent post is modded Flamebait shows what an utter joke the moderation system is.
