A deal with BIOS maker Phoenix Technologies would allow the operating system to directly control hardware. It also raises concerns over who controls the software in PCs

Again, RTFA.
If you still don't 'get it', then you
should not be allowed on a computer or you are a Microsoft
astroturfer.
...,I'd wager a deal of people posting here have been in some car accident or other.
That's why you shouldn't drive and post to Slashdot
at the same time. But if you do, you should use
the 'Preview' feature to check for typos that
may have occurred when you passed that slow truck.
If you're going to go to that much trouble,
you need to add some bits for TimeZoneOffset
and a bit to indicate whether or not DayLightSavings
is in effect or not. Otherwise, you have ambiguous timestamps when stored.
Sadly, this could be suggested. I hope you were
making a funny regarding outsourcing, but that
seems to me just as ripe for corruption.
Bottom line, these totally untrustworthy voting
machines must be replaced with what can be
trusted better, and that is the older legacy
system (to use a nasty word).
So, yes, that means going back to paper.
And that also means *at all costs*. There
can be no excuses as to why it can't be done
such as cost. The future of the world is
at stake, and the cost of freedom has no limit.
The source code should be open for another reason.
Auditors couldn't examine eight machines in various counties because they failed to boot up when turned on. Another 12 machines were in the Diebold plant in McKinney, Texas, being repaired.
Make them 'broke'
so they can't be audited.
Ship them out of state so they can't be audited.
A great method to cover up a fixed election.

My biggest concern with this idea is that I run a domain where I give out POP email addresses to people. I'm still trying to figure out how that will affect me.
Why is this a problem? Are not those users
doing SMTP to *your* MTA running under *your* domain?
This was a serious question. The judge was
more or less saying that he couldn't assign
enough blame *to* D-Squared to issue the injunction.
Well, if it is not that clear to the judge at
this point, does the judge believe that a different
party might share some of the blame?
Slashdot Mirror
Something like that, I think I read it in the Almanac.
Apparently, locating the proper source is difficult at times. Just ask SCO.
Microsoft will get some of their marketing money back from Intel.
Microsoft does have cash flow problems these days, you know?
Well do you or don't you?
I guess you were referring to those Bush feds, so you must have meant that they *would* let MS get away with it.

Please install GNU/Linux and try again.

This was just what Erik did not need, and would be an excellent site that could benefit from such a program.
That gives a whole new meaning for wardriving. Imagine someone taking control remotely.
A Lawyer.
For a moment there, I thought you were referring to Microsoft.
It's 2038

Paul, it that you?
No, plastic sheets are the more modern stuff (Y2k+2).
Back in Y2k days, it was just duct tape and WD-40.
Is that on their website, but not on the distributed dead-tree version?
Unfortunately, you have it backwards.

1) Get 75,000 WinCE-based Diebold machines built (and paid for!)
2) ??? Send them to India and have lower-cost labour do the "voting"
3) Makes stealing elections MUCH more cost-effective! Profit!
My good sir, I think you've found it!

2. ???
3. Profit
So, of course, the existing 'banking' system will fight this tooth and nail because it would take away from *their* profits.
that the blame lies with Microsoft?
The recent exploits via rsync caused some lost time certainly.
