Most community sites seem to be local run affairs by the kid down the hall in his spare time, not by those with the money to spend on SSL certs. That, and given the value of the Internet is to allow people to connect in new ways unencumbered by worrying how to pay for it suggests that the problem here is not how to provide technically secure transactions.
The problem here is how to create personaly security on the Internet. When you're in the mall, gals keep their bags so the flap is on the inside. Guys don't stare at other guys for too long. That is how they are personally secure, not because the mall guards have guns.
So a more interesting question is not "how can you make other people more secure?" but "how do you make yourself more secure?" Publish your results, and best practice will win.
The logical opposite of gerrymandering is automating the process to provide politically balanced districts, 50% left, 50% right. Leaving aside how "left" and "right" ought to be defined (and how "center" is accomodated), balanced districts would tend for shorttermism and inaction at the political level higher. If you don't expect to keep your job, you don't plan what you'll be doing after the next election.
Solution? An independent commission. The nearer their decisions create equal political fury from both (all) sides, the higher the pay.
A lengthy collaboration between the county's information technology director and advisers from the MicroVote software producer... showed just 5,352 ballots
So an IT director and a number of flunkies have rewritten the results of an election.
How do the good people of Boone County know that the new answer is correct? Because it's less than the number of actual voters? How can they trust the result of that election at all?
And why should those too young to vote until next time bother to vote when next time comes around?
A sale would jeopardise that litigation -- this arrangment seems reasonable to me.
Much of the work happens at the beginning, before payday; if the directors want to bail out midway, that's got to say something about their expectation of success. No one wants that, especially not the beagles, so a clause like this helps ensure they stay on board.
If ipv4 isn't broke, then there's no need to fix it with ipv6: instead, the time is used to allow ipv6 killer apps (your fridge telling your tv that you need more milk) to further mature. Like BBSes and JaNET had Internet gateways, there'll eventually be gateways between ipv4 and ipv6 Internets, and it'll suddenly be with us as if it always had been.
About then we should be discussing whether housebricks should have IP addresses to report being dug through, or whether being able to detect movement means it could detect the movement from soundwaves, people talking. I can only hope I don't have to shout into each brick the serial number from the inevitable shrinkwrap license.
I have a 5 year old who won't watch TV at all. If he has to, he fiddles with the channels, the volume, the widescreen/normal, the teletext. As soon as he can, he gets off it back onto the 'net, playing Spongebob flash games, looking for Homestar easter eggs, hanging out on Sesame Street... when he can, he'll play Total War for hours -- I've had to hide Quake in case he finds it.
The key is interaction, folks, it's feedback. It's playing around, and seeing the effect of your actions. In ten years time, that little guy will not own, or even want, a TV. In 20 years he'll have one to amuse the crusties when they visit.

Three questions.
3. When will I remember news != usenet?
Two simple questions.
1. Is X-No-Archive observed?
2. Can we believe the answer?
