their attitude is incredibly offensive? why? because they want to keep their source tree free of unfree software? here is the beauty of free software... you don't have to use it. if you wish to use the unfree, insecure, asf apache, go for it! when your shit gets r00ted through something fixed in those diffs, go bitch to the asf. meanwhile, i will have a good chuckle
guess what? that's why we have openssh. it's why openntpd has come into existence. pf, bgpd, and others
oh.. please do explain the continued 3k+ diff between the asf and obsd version
It is violation of their covenant of privacey with their members. It is harasment of people because of their beliefs.
Guess what? They're just as fair game as me.
There is no such thing as privacy anymore. Forget it. You will never have it, not even under your own bed. It's gone. This administration has used the Bill of Rights to wipe it's ass.
So, fuck the delegates. Post their personal data wherever, as often as possible.
Why should they be treated any differently than me? Why should they expect to be treated with respect by a third party wrt their own privacy? The US gov't, under this administration, provides no such pleasantries to me. The DMCA is still around. The PATRIOT Act came into being, and they want to extend it. This admini^H^H^H^H^HFCC is telling us what is wrong and right.
Fuck the delegates. Let them see what it's like to have lost your right to personal freedom.
nuh uh. mine is freebsd-based. it's currently out of the car (95 Accord EX sedan) because my desktop crashed and i needed a desktop. i appreciate the license on your code tho =)
if the s2 comes with usb for the possibility of being computer controlled, that'd be sweet. however, one of the key selling points of the pcr (at least to me) was that it was a very simply device. if it does have usb for that reason, and my pcr dies or xm turns them off, i'll probably buy one... but i hope it will be as easily hackable
i had xm in my car through my pioneer deck and an addon xm receiver. i loved it so much, i couldn't wait to get something for my home computer (i've got a car pc here too, by chance). i could have bought some component, but the xmpcr was small, cheap, and worked
plus, it is a very hacker friendly device. xm chose a well-supported by oss usb/serial adapter. they didn't have to. maybe they chose it by price... either way, they chose one that's well supported. there are now plenty of apps out there available to do lots of cool stuff. they even promoted some of the bigger ones (a mac player, etc). some people even modded theirs to get digital output. being able to do that is just damn cool
i now hope they don't start playing the directtv game and start turning off current xmpcr subscribers. that would make them complete pieces of shit to the second power

Privacy of voter hmm. not a software problem. plywood works fine. cardboard too, in a pinch
Authenticity of voter i made a suggestion
Avoidance of coercion not a problem for software. possible solutions? plywood, again, works. people not letting themselves being coerced. neutral parties supervising (castro suggested cuban supervisors after the last presidential election fiasco. i actually agree with him, maybe just not all one nationality)
Empty ballot box at start of polling this is a software problem? i would hope that a ballot box would be completely emptied at the end of the previous election. voters have a pesky preference of having their votes count(ed). or maybe that's just me
Security of ballot papers this company sells evoting machines. i would think the point of that is to get rid of paper. why reintroduce paper into the mix? rather, why try to get rid of paper in the first place, only to reintroduce it? oh... get rid of *most* of the paper. ok, that's understandable
One vote per person ok. the machine could punch a hole in some card mailed to registered voter. sort of like the read-only tab on floppies
no, i'm not in school. i work in the real world. i just so happen to work in an industry (a medium-sized.gov) where we operate on this premise: simple -> easy -> correctness -> less fuckups -> good vs. complex -> not easy -> higher chance for incorrectness -> more fuckups -> bad
look, this isn't a pissing match. i am curious to know why it's so complicated. it's obvious i don't know all there is to know about e-voting, and that's why i asked why it is seemingly so complicated. so please, enlighten me, since you seem to have no problem denigrating me. granted, this company in.au seems to have a working/functional product, but of all the other times you've read about e-voting, how many weren't about some screwup or controversy?
frankly, drinkypoo (post below yours) has it dead on. why do we need e-voting? voting has seemingly worked fine for the last 1500 years, why start now? just because we can? that's a great reason for a lot of things. hmm, like iraq for one.
as for me being off-base re:occam. i don't think so. we can pretty effectively sum him up with: "don't make it more complicated than it needs to be"
i don't understand how it could be this expensive, exchange rates be damned, whatever
i don't see why this voting software needs to be so complicated? wouldn't some linux/*bsd/windows/mac/beos/atari/xbox/gamecube/dr eamcast box with a touchscreen suffice? have it run a simple web browser, have it verify the voter (perhaps some card sent to them post-voter-registration), and ++ some variable? write it out to compact flash (hey, we'll get redundant and use 2!). then have some trained monkey go around, pull the cards, and tally the numbers
the romans and greeks used rocks or sticks or whatever the fuck they could find on the ground, and voting worked. 1500 years later and it has to be so complex?
where did these software engineers go to school? have they never heard of occam?

maybe we were just lucky, but we were running them over port-based vlans just fine. cisco 2924s, so it's not like they were high end switches. we also had a few hanging off an unmanaged switch (which was uplinked to one of the 2924s). this was about 18 months ago. over 10M was ok... 100M was much better though

read that. this one in particular to answer your question. it was also covered here on
