The paper doesn't belong in a votor's hands... it belongs in a ballot box. You get a chance to look at the paper to make sure it says what you want, then it drops into a bin where it's mixed up with everyone else who voted there that day.
If the papers in the bin don't match the electronic count... you've got a fraud.
You see, it is illegal for a government agency to go in and demand the list of all the members of a group. This wasn't done by a government agency acting alone, it was done under a Grand Jury approved warrant.
And you can't investigate leaks to journalists by going in and grabbing the reporter's computer. Journalists love to claim "journalistic privledge". To bad that's not valid in any court I know of. They've gotta co-operate in an investigation just like everybody else, or at least take the punishment for Obstruction of Justice.
I started getting solicited to accept VoteHere software. I didn't bite, because it was obvious that this was an entrapment attempt. Not good enough. She should have reported those e-mails to authorities so that they'd investigate them. Claiming to have those e-mails but not turning them over headers and all is one way to be sure a warrant with your name on it is coming.
Okay, a word about VoteHere: This is the company that has no visible means of support. A lot of companies develop and release free software so that they can frost their own widget later. Come on, how many.com's of the late 90s had no visible means of support?
And (you know who you are) -- consider this a heads up: If you start bumbling around in my house with U.S. marshalls, the very first thing that will happen is mainstream news coverage that you are misusing the Patriot Act to get at membership lists and private correspondence for a fishing expedition on stuff that isn't even the subject of a legitimate investigation. You can only hope, Bev. You don't control which side the media's going to take... and you don't exactly have journalist credentials that the "mainstream media" are going to accept.
If she really thinks she's the subject of an investigation, anything she publishes should be going through her lawyers before coming out. Clearly this wasn't, because she just dug the hole deeper.
You don't really get to claim "unfair subpeona" when you clearly had evidence that you should have reported as soon as you got it.
There not going to care about what else is in the logs. They're not there to go fishing, they know what they're looking for, and it's either in the logs or not. The warrant isn't a blank check, they had to tell a judge what they're hoping to see. We'll see what that is eventually if there's ever a trial.
The people given a warrant are not always suspected of doing something wrong. They're just thought to have evidence or clues that might help prove that somebody did something criminal.
Uhm, I take it the first think they'll do is trim all of the entries from tonight on. Clearly, the information they wanted to find out, if it exists, would be on the logs before the first report of the warrant came out. It'd be expected to be on the logs before the warrant was written.
I don't think BlackBoxVoting would have done anything criminal if their only involvement was that their forum was simply the communications conduit between people involved in the spying... but they'd better comply with the subpeona requested information to avoid getting tied up in an obstruction of justice situation.
For a site about security and privacy, they make a point of displaying in their message boards that the submitting IP address of every post is logged. Well, guess what, the Feds have reason to want to see those logs now.

Cingular is not merging with AT&T. They're merging with AT&T Wireless which was spun off from the mothership AT&T years ago in the same move that created Lucent (now Avaya) and AT&T Broadband (now part of Comcast). SBC will pick up a right to use the AT&T Wireless brand for no more than six months, so absolutely any sign anywhere that reads AT&T Wireless will be getting rebranded Cingular rather quickly. The AT&T long distance company has nothing to do with this.
Therefore, SBC will not be aquiring much help in getting local loops fixed... the only local loop AT&T Wireless is concerned with is cell towers. Cingular and AT&T Wireless operate on the same technologies, so they'll have no compatiblity issues taking on the existing AT&T Wireless customers onto the Cingular networks. They basically want AT&T Wireless so that Cingular can mark off any where AT&T has set up a GSM tower up as already done on their GSM conversion effort.
Still, the union's timing in light of a merger close is exactly what they're swinging for. Cheapen the company as the merge closes, and SBC is out money if they cave, and out money if they don't cave. Sad when a business deal heads into mutually destructive territory...
The four companies you name are the sum total of the ILECs, or Incumbent Local Exchange Carriers. These are the company that actually own the copper phone network.
You can try to excape the ILECs by ordering you phone service from a CLEC, or Competitive Local Exchange Carrier... but really, you can't, because your CLEC is still going to have to rent at least the "last mile" pair of copper that runs to your house from the ILEC, and usually more. You can actually make a functual CLEC by renting everything from the ILEC at regulated prices, and supplying nothing more than outsource relationships with customer service and billing operations...
From the orignal "Baby Bells" formed by the AT&T breakup, the resulting companies have been allowed to remerge and now there are four distinct ILECs left standing, Qwest (North-West), Verizon (North-East), SBC (South-West) and BellSouth (South-East).
How would NYC and the whole East Coast feel if Verizon's people went on strike? That's who SBC is over there...
See, now you see why this is newsworthy. Even if you're not over there, if you depend on reaching something or someone over there, you're a bit nervous because if for any reason a phone line were to go down, a strike would make it take longer to bring back up.
SBC stands for Southwestern Bell Company, which is the Incumbent Local Exchange Carrier (ILEC) for much of the Western USA, including California and Texas which have major datacenters. CWA stands for Communications Workers of America, which is the labor union that represents most of their technical workers.
It's news because it affects a good chunk of the IT industry. Basically, if the CWA goes on strike, SBC's ability to resolve field-wiring issues will suddenly be reduced to management employees who aren't represented by the union. This means any line noise or wire failure issue that happens on local phone line loops within their territory will take much longer than usual to be resolved... leading to potential longer-than-usual disruptions to communication services that rely on local copper loops.
Yep... unfortately very few of us need how-to instructions for our phones. The only time I ever remembering calling the phone company was about line noise... that involves sending out a tech.

If the risk of overpowering-sized users is slim, and the danger is mitigated by the fact that those who go over can't go over by any more than another two or three accounts worth... could Google afford to slap an "Unlimited until we set a limit." label and just end the one-up game before it really starts?
In many schools, education reform laws have caused schools to trim minutes from already busy passing periods... making it a physical challenge to go from one classroom to another in the allotted time. Stopping at the locker every period is sometimes just not an available option...
