From the article it was the responsibility of the place holding the vote to do the dump of the data.
Diebold was responible for clearing the machine once it was returned, which they did.
If you had read the article, you would know that the problem was not the machines.
The city did perform a dump of the data before they returned the machines to Diebold; that was the responsibility of the people in california. Diebold was clearing the machines and when told to stop they did, however only 20 of the 400+ machines had not been cleared.
IIS 7 is actually rather nice. It is a complete rewrite from IIS 6, didn't they do that from IIS 5?
They use Apache methods for uploading files, major fix over IIS6.
The security is modular and supports security similar to what Apache does.
And the configuration files are now text files which edit with your text editor. Wasn't that the main selling point with the IIS pros saying IIS was better because you did not have to use some text file where you had to go in manually edit?
Just say this article on the BBC.
According to the article:
The Rush University Medical Center in Chicago examined nearly 1,000 Catholic nuns, priests and brothers.
Those who rated themselves highly conscientious had an 89% lower risk of Alzheimer's than those who thought they were the least self-disciplined.
The study appears in the journal Archives of General Psychiatry.
The best one from Futurama was the first episode. Where they were counting down the new year and show various countries saying a number then they switch to the future and show a yearly countdown and the only country that has switched languages is the french.
Lockheed has a history of doing stuff like this.
In the contracting arena they also have history of firing everyone after a contract is over and telling them to resubmit their resumes for the next contract. I figured something like that was not happening, until I worked with someone who had been a subcontractor to Lockheed.
According to him they had contract to build a system and then a new contract would take over to run the production and future development, for the technical people they would have more technical people under the production system but less management, security, etc type people. Because of funding and delays of development everything got pushed back and there was going turn over and when the production contract would take over, a few system admin people were funded to provide support during that time. Lockheed went and told all their people they were gone at the end of first contract and they could submit resume for next one, subcontractors just kept their people put them some weeks of unpaid leave and then transfered the people into the new jobs.
I guess the Lockheed people could get unemployment support but that kind of treatment sucks.
Consider thoses numbers came from this poll http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/22_believe_bush_knew_about_9_11_attacks_in_advance and not Fox News you just look even more foolish then your made up numbers indicate.
You are definatly upset about thoses numbers, and should be, but shouldn't you really be upset with main stream democrat sites like huffington report and daily kos where the feeling that president of Iran would be a better leader for the US or the members are upset when US leaders are not killed is talked about and celebrated?
That only 38% of Democrats know for sure that the US President did not help out with 9/11 attacks is just plain sad, but go ahead keep on making up your own "facts" and ignoring reality.
Unless you were in aircraft or worked in the twin tower it was not 9/11 that was the fault. It was the burst of the dot com bubble.
From 2000 to around 2003 it was just a bad time to be in IT. Salaries dropped and companies were not hiring and if did anything related to technology were actually firing. Also during that time certifications were a big thing with businesses so no cert and you could exclude a huge amount of those positions.
If you are disatisfied now with your salary it is time to go job hunting, companies are back massivly hiring IT people. Heck I am even starting to get e-mail job notices from head hunters I had talked with back in 2001-2002
Except in this case he is saying that Google was "in bed", which by slang definition would mean they are cooporating under no legal requirement, so law has no effect. Google is able to sell, or give away, any of the information they collect.
As for a legal requirement that Google provide information the US patriot act would not had much of an effect compared to the laws in effect before it was passed. The US PATRIOT act made it easier to get a NSL, by bypassing a judicial requirement, and added terrorism as one of the reasons they could be used. So even without the US PATRIOT act there are plenty of laws that allow access to that any of the data Google collects all with the "you cannot call up the suspect and offer to sell them information that law enforcement is investigating them" restriction.
Then as you mentioned the US PATRIOT act allowance to do this has been struck down so the government could not be collecting this information without the customer knowledge. Which goes to the original point made bythe author and the people who marked the comment informative; what part of the US PATRIOT act allows the government to do this?
Some places don't give that information.
You goto the school bookstore give them your schedule and they use a list only they have to get the books you need..
In that case the only recourse you would have is get the books, copy the info, and return the books to the place you got them or just dump them on any shelf and walk out. That or at some places they do have sites where people collect that information and post it so you can get it that way.
If you have every had to use your backups then you know that "Backups don't ensure your data are safe."
Until you are willing to test them and ensure the data is there you are taking it on faith that they contain the data needed and your procedures will allow you to get back a working system.
Granted that this is probably the way to go, it produces an ballot that can be quickly read in, most importantly provides a user interface that prevents the vast majority of ballot problems.
However...br.
The problems in Flordia came about because people did not take proper case of the machine, ie empting out the trash containers. With requiring them to enter ink and paper what kinds of problems are you causing and who are you going to get to do that?
1) Good luck finding a write instrument, how many have you gone to post office, bank, etc where you need a pen to fill out a form and could actually find a pen?:) Besides you are giving them a printout why not print it on there.
3) How would that printout prove anything on how your vote is recorded, if you really wanted to mess up the machine you would display the correct results and record the wrong. If I wanted to add votes the old ways are still the best ways; get the dead to vote.
4) The giving of extra papers does nothing, except cause a whole bunch of extra receipts to be floating around. If I was forcing/bribing someone to vote my way I would just use early or mail voting and not worry about it; what states do not provide mail in absentee voting for any reason?
5) If you cannot verify what the vote was for what are you adding? Again if I am changing votes in the software I would print out everything as correct and record the vote the way I want it to be.
6) The problem here is you are giving outside people access to the list of voters, even though it is just a random ID assigned to that person. How would use keep that bar code reader up to date with the latest people who voted, wireless, rotating the readers in/out, have them connected to a network? That is a whole bunch of technology that someone would need to setup and manage. Also the main place you would want to check is after all the votes have been turned into the central location. You would be better off with systems like the blood banks use where you can call number enter a private key and get the results.
As for the encryption and giving that to the user, if I can mess up the software I can get your encryption key, and then make as many receipts as I want.
The whole point of this is that paper reciepts taken outside of the voting place are worthless except to make the voter feel good. They could not be used to verify votes, they cause a huge amount of waste and once it leaves the control of the distributing entity it is worthless for anything requiring accountability.
The survey asked if Bush knew about the attacks in advanced, from what we know the information about the planned attacks were only known by a core group of people. So for Bush to know about it he had to of "shared in something" with the doers and that is the definition of participate.
What lie??
According to the dictionary "A lie is a statement made by someone who believes or suspects it to be false, in the expectation that the hearers may believe it." This is not the progessive definition where a lie is saying something and then later it proves to be wrong.
Actually reading the full report, requires multiple source since the MSNBC does not contain it, shows he said it, he was then corrected, he then informed Congress and the press(since the comment was made in a public forum) that he had made a mistake and what the correct response should of been. All in a timly manner without any method of tring to hide it.
Provided that the sampleing was random 43 people is enough to extrapolate the US population with a 99% certainty.
The certainity is that 50% +- 20% will answer the way this report is saying.
However that this scientific report got published and as much newspaper coverage as it is and will be getting certainly indicates that it is possible.
The problem is that theses myths are started for political purposes.
It is the democrates that keep spreading that Saddam was with 9/11, the majority of people who say this is so in surveys are not Republicans.
It is the major of Democrats that believe that Bush provided some help in the 9/11 sites and something that is spread by mainstream progressive web sites.
It is the progressive that keep spreading that Bush = Hitler.
It is not the majority of the population that believe them and keep spreading them it is all political party related, so in some way it is seeking but alternate authorities but only in the manner of them being of the liberal bent.
Embroyonic stem cells are not easier to work with and were not the only options, try to find some actual medical articles that use them.
Embryonic stems cells gain of press after articles started coming out about non-embryonic stem cells. Since embryonic stem cells have the potential of doing alot more, ignoring all the additional problems they cause, when the stem cell craze started alot of venture capitalist started investing in them. After pumping a bunch of money in embryonic stem cells it came up that it was a bust, so the venture capitalists started spending money in pumping up their worth and how they would solve everything. After the venture capitalists sold off thier stocks and got back some of thier money it press of them dropped and all you are left with are some people who have a far off dream that they will actually produce something and the general public thinking they will do more for them then non-embryonic stem cells.

That one is easy. The new version of KITT will be..

Ok,
I aspire to beable to give away 100 million a year; all the money I make off the interest in my checkbook savings account.
