Good point. But also keep in mind that the compiler that compiles the executable that will actually be running on these production ballots doesn't necessarily have to be GNU's. They control that aspect of the system, and then you're back to trusting them again. That's the whole point I was trying to make. They can show you all the clean code you want, but compile it in the manner described in Ken Thompson's paper.
Yeah, but even if it was open source, you'd never really be to trust it unless you compiled it yourself. For example, Ken Thompson was able to bug the compiler so that it installed a backdoor whenever the login(1) program was compiled. For details you should see his paper Reflections on Trusting Trust.

TeraGrid Gets an Upgrade
·
· Score: 2, Interesting
If you're a member of an academic institution, you can just submit a proposal to the NSF to apply for time on the TeraGrid. I've heard at conferences that it's quite easy to get time, provided you give them a good account of the time complexity of the algorithm you want to run on their machines. And of course, that you attempt to answer a science question:-)
Oh. You can say that again. I got the CF-37 Toughbook, and nearly got
a heart attack about six months ago when a tall glass full of water fell on it. The keyboard was drenched. I quickly disconnected everything and took apart
as much as I could, and then I let the parts air dry.
And now I sit here typing this post in that very laptop. A mere two weeks after that incident, the computer turned on without any serious problems. (At first the 'n' key didn't work reliably after a few hours of operation). It's been a few months now and it works as well as it did originally.
Now that is a Toughbook.

He already covered that case. Even the Stanford bunny is equivalent to a torus.
... what kind of girl this is that has a right and left pooper. Ever heard of conjoined twins?If you truly think that, then you should probably read this eye-opening article: The Checklist.
Well, I get the front page too (the url goes back to http://slashdot.org/). I guess I'll have to wait until it goes out of beta!
Great! Sounds like Alan Cox has finally added support for the RJE and EOI opcodes to the Linux kernel.
And here I thought that James Gosling invented PHP.

Didn't you know? There's an early beta available from http://www.nsa.gov/software/eavesdrop/gaim-2.0beta /
Well, duh. What do you expect? They used Wikipedia to look up the meaning of MMORPGs :-)
"dotcom"-ming, i guess
You should try using wxPython. Python is terrific for fast prototyping. Hell, I'm still using the prototypes I've developed.
No, he's making fun of your tinyping.
Well, aren't you a cunning linguist

Truly, the end is near!Google referrer? Are you talking about the Googlebot user-agent string?
Probably OOOO....O11111....111, with n of each symbol.
Dude, of course. It's caltech :-)
We'll just get one of the freshmen to pilot it.
Room temperature IQ? Be careful, we measure temperature in Kelvin around these parts...
Try this one:
CREATE FUNCTION name(int) RETURNS SETOF test AS '
SELECT * FROM test WHERE id=$1;
' LANGUAGE SQL;
Then try using:
select * from name(1);
Should work pretty well.
I don't know about you, but I wouldn't go to no open sores porn site.
I mean....EWWWW
