First - the title is sort of misleading. This is not state wide. This is in one county - Cuyahoga. Their elections are a mess and they are grasping at straws. Second, the one thing that electronic voting equipment does really well is informing the voter of "stupid" errors. If you have voted for more than one candidate in one race it can complain at the voter and force him/her to fix the error immediately. If you fill out a paper ballot and vote for two candidates in the same race the error won't get discovered until the vote is in the process of being counted. At that point there is no way of telling what the true vote is and the voter's vote doesn't get counted. There is not supposed to be a minimum IQ for participating in a democracy - though maybe there should be.
I need to say I didn't mean any disrespect to the author of the article as, well, he is one of the people who actually participated in the Revolution and can be seen on the videos I linked to. Not to mention he is a great author with some very interesting books. . I recommend the Dormouse - very enlightening.
Why read the article when you can get the information first hand? http://www.nsfnet-legacy.org/ Check out the archived videos - this should be required viewing for everybody.
I don't know if it was in the PDF so i can't say RTFPDF but it wasn't only information about govt employees. Information about people who hadn't cashed state tax refund checks as well as welfare receipients, just to name a few, were also on the tape.

On this page you enter your last name and the last four of your SSN. Anybody see anything fishy about this page? HOW ABOUT THAT IT ISN'T USING SSL. Apparently they don't believe in using encryption anywhere, ever. Not on backup tapes and definately not when transmitting sensitive information over the Internet.
Your statement of "If they both also peered with some third party......" would turn that third party into a transit carrier and not a peer. Transit = expensive; peering = cheap (relatively)
About 4 months ago I got a call from a sales critter at Cogent saying "We will knock 50% off of the price you are paying for your L3 connectivity if you drop them and come be our customer." I was kind of surprised at the boldness of this proposition because they were specifically targeting current L3 customers. I was even more surprised to find out from others that this sales pitch from Cogent was company wide. Of course this pissed off L3 and that was the start of this pissing contest.
Alright, this for all you people who always pipe up and say "but linux has had this for years" when
an announcment about a BSD happening is made. BSD HAD HAD THIS FOR A LONG TIME (couple of years). This sounds and looks astonishly similar to the BSD jail() written by PHK but with a messier interface. It is good stuff and hosting companies already use it a lot. Thanks for your time.

Quit asking slashdot and go do something about it

I think the father needs to quit asking Slashdot and actually do something constructive with the situation. Go visit other (ie private schools)options in the area with your son and see how he and you like them. Most private schools around here will let you visit for a couple of days to see how you like them. If you don't like one, go to another, and on and on. Find some place where you and your son will be comfortable but don't home school him. Very few families have the resources to pull of the home schooling thing and very few kids have the discipline and appitude to pull it off. I am not saying Sean doesn't, just that it is against odds that it will work as well as regular school would. Don't forget two things:
1. Every geek gets made fun of during high school. I am not saying it is right. It just happens. It sucks, live with it and know that someday you will be interviewing somebody and then you will remember that this kid is the kid that made fun of you during 7th period gym class.
2. You absolutely can NOT tell people you want to kill them. You just can't. Not today, not yesterday, not ten years ago. Can't.
They are taking hits on the price because they want to make money on the software/licensing side of things. Also, I would like to see how long it takes somebody to hack up the drivers for the video card and dvd player. I would guess pretty long because they documentation for that stuff will probably not becoming out of Redmond anytime soon. I am not saying it won't be possible but Micro$oft will make it as hard as they possibly can.
Alright. Now that we have proved you are clueless:). Basically it comes down to heavily dynamic routing schemes being 1. way more reliable and 2. way more easily managed. You can't administrate a mid size network without running some sort of dynamic protocol, even if it ends up being RIP or OSPF. Otherwise you would spend all day typing in and deleting static routes.
This was posted on NANOG this morning
and should be required reading. It is from Sean Doran who basically built Sprint's Network in the early/mid 90s and is probably *the* authority on this kind of stuff. Read it.
I think this question should be asked to all of the/. interviewees because I think it is interesting how *intelligent* people respond to this question. Which license do you think does the most to further innovation: BSD or GPL? Please feel free to answer both as a regular person and as a Microsoft employee and please expound if there is a difference between your view and the views of a Microsoft employee. One would think that Microsoft, as a successful commercial entity, would support the BSD license.
Yes or no???
I don't think you can follow the normal software security model with BIND. Maybe with MS products you can advocate full disclosure in all situations. What are you seriously going to do to cause widespread "net terror" with a microsoft exploit? However, say you are checking your bugtraq mail on a late saturday night and somebody, following full disclosure, posts an exploit for the latest version of BIND. Of course the TLD operators and the root operators are probably sleeping while you hack into a root or TLD server and cause widespread "net terror". Just imagine how much damage you could cause with a rooted tld or root server. The root and tld operators (and every legitimate net user) deserves to have the root and tld operators absolutely find out about the exploit before you or I do. I don't see how you can argue against that.
P.S. I know using the phrase "net terror" is lame.
Make fun of me if you must.
While perusing the mailing lists for -hackers, -stable, -current, etc. etc., I often wonder what people like yourself, Mike Smith, Greg Lehey, and the other core members do to pay the bills. Unless something has changed recently with the BSDi takeover, I can't imagine that the FreeBSD project keeps the food on the table. So how about a little insight into your and the other core members "real" jobs. (As if there is such a thing as a "real" job). But anyways, thanks for all the hard work for little pay!
Maybe Mr. Katz could use his computer for something that we know it is good for before lecturing us (albeit poorly) about a book with a main topic that deals with what computers *aren't* good for.

I think it is only fair to point out that they have put this on an SSL cert now. Even if nobody will read this because it will be at +1.

We are saying the exact same thing.

Check your openssl version. You need 0.9.6
In INSTALL it says you need openssl-0.9.5.
That is wrong, you need openssl-0.9.6 or it
won't compile.

Yeah. I am pissed that I live in Cleveland too!
