Probably. IIRC, the secretary of the guy who was supposed to have written the memo said that the memo was a fake, but the information in it was correct.
A) These things may have been patented before they decided to do this
B) They don't have to worry about someone else patenting them
C) They're only opening them up for open-source projects, meaning IBM projects can use them and open-source projects can use them, but IBM's closed-source competitors can't.
When I saw that they started with the assumption that most fraud is committed by democrats (they said that outright) I didn't bother looking further, since the site obviously can't be taken seriously.
Yup...I don't recall for sure if I'm on the federal list or not, but my telemarketing calls all but dissapeared when the Colorado list went into effect. Best thing the state legislature ever did.
I believe the difference lies in the intent. Unless you're the tinfoil hat wearing type, problems with voting machines could be seen as a most likely stemming from honest mistakes in code. As it's a generally accepted fact that it is nearly impossible to rid complex code of bugs, it seems unfair to hold companies responsible for flawed code.
Even when they illegally changed the code after it was certified?
Aside from the fact that we should be counting all of the votes whether they affect the election or not...
If Candidate A got 51% of the statewide vote and Candidate B got 80% of the vote in the district where the majority of the votes were thrown out, what does that tell you?
The certainty of evolution comes from realizing that religious freaks can't accept that isn't true. If it was, what about dinosaurs? They aren't in the bible, but they certainly existed.
Why would it?
It also doesn't mention the duck-billed platypus, fire ants, or any of a billion other irrelevant things..

It would be slightly closer to feasible for the Administration to just declare that weapons had been found, referring to no real objects whatsoever.
Didn't they? I believe someone posted this quote above:
"We found the weapons of mass destruction"

Yup.
:-)
I think what I've most enjoyed lecturing on is quantum cryptography; there's something most people won't bother to show up to

Wasn't there a similar article in the papers a few months back?
Anyway, the article doesn't give all that munch information...I wonder how the price and reliability currently compare to cable.
I tried visiting Sound Politics.

Loaded instantly for me as well :-)
Two questions come to mind...
:-p
1) How come mp3 is only #3 on the list of tech searches, when it's the only item from that list on the general list?
2) Do that many people REALLY need to use Google to find ebay or amazon?

er, ask them, sorry
:-p
I guess I should read my posts before hitting submit
If I lived in California, I would forward your post to my elected officials and ask him to implement it.
See if losing their biggest market makes them reconsider the importance of verifiably reliable machines..
Unfortunately, the errors tend to mostly favor one particular side...

Easier to hack the one machine that counts up all the votes than a significant number of the 937 machines that record the votes?
Of course, we could have had open-source voting machines made by a reputable company, but no...
And the most important question...
Where do we sign up?
I'm not sure that qualifies as a laptop...
BTW, OT but would you rather hire 100k extras thru halliburton when needed or maintain a larger military full of over trained and under used grunts.
Depends...which costs less?
Wouldn't that be more of a measure of how quickly you think, though?
That makes sense. I think. ;-) What else you got?
Maybe it assumes that "we" have quantum computers and the bad guys don't?
hmm, let's see. World-respected physicist vs Slashdot poster...hmm...

I'll take you up on that...
