Maybe it would be useful to visit schools describing what an election inspector does and that there is a need for volunteers?
One interesting thing is however: Is it possible to become an election inspector without party preference? What are the requirements actually? Is it necessary to be a citizen or is it enough to be a permanent resident?
Below is something for those interested in political systems.... Stop here if you don't want anymore!
In Sweden where I live the procedure is a little different - you vote for the government, region and municipality at the same time using yellow (government), blue (regional) and white (municipality) ballots. Each party provides a pre-printed ballot and the voter sticks each into an envelope that is sealed by the voter. The ballots must be unfolded and unmarked except for a possible checkbox that can be checked for a name on the list on the ballot. Each envelope contains a small dent at the edge where the election inspector can see that no more than one ballot is inserted in the envelope. The inspectors takes the three envelopes and drops them into three different sealed boxes. When the voting is closed the boxes are opened and the envelopes in them are opened too and the counting begins. (A lot of hand-work here.) As far as I know all ballots are hand-counted, but it may be possible that they can be machine-counted.
At first votes are counted for each party depending on the printed party on the ballots. Later also checked names are counted since the checkings may override the order of the list printed on the ballot.
In the case where no ballots for a party is available it is possible to take a blank and write down the name of the party you vote on.
Some areas doesn't have the regional voting since the municipality is the same as the region.
When the election is over it is usually the party or combination of parties that has won the election that decides on the prime minister. Normally this person is selected from the largest party in the combination, but it's not necessary.
There are some limitations in the election system. One is that a single party must acquire at least 4% of the votes to get in. (or at least 11% in a single election-area of where there are 29 in Sweden for the governmental election. The 11% may be incorrect, I haven't checked it.)
I have left out some parts or missed somewhere, but at least it may give you an idea of the procedure. There are no such thing as electors or so in the Swedish system, which gives the result that the relation of places held in the "riksdagen", is close to the actual relations in the counted votes. There are of course many more parties than in the US which means that there is also a little more inter-party fiddling around and built-in conflicts. Currently there are seven parties in the "riksdagen".
Actual truth is that as an adult you become more habit-bound than as a kid, but that doesn't stop you from learning new things. As a kid you are all over testing boundaries but as an adult you skip that part and strive forward in the direction you found were the most ideal when you were a kid. What's ideal for one person may not be for another and depending on the environment and the stimulus received as a kid you get preferences.
And this is also one reason why it may be good for a person to change job now and then to not grow stale in one environment. It may be good to not change too often but if the job stops to develop a person it will result in that the person having the job will get bound to the job and unable to accept changes or the person will change job.
It's important for people to take on challenges now and then - even if failing it's a learning experience. If failing all the time - it's just meaning that this person is attempting things that always are too hard or that that particular person hasn't the ability to know his/her own limits.
The way this is intended to work is that the traffic captured goes unencrypted. As soon as SMTPS, IMAPS and possibly POP3S is used all this effort is just a waste of resources because the mail headers will also be encrypted. Same goes for HTTPS.
Of course it's possible to do a man in the middle attack from the government on this, but it will be a waste of effort and unless the traffic is restricted to always going through government approved servers and proxies it will be a waste of resources trying to track offenders. Personally I started SMTPS/IMAPS a good time ago - not really from being worried about the "big brother" issue but to avoid exposing passwords on the net. The "big brother" lockout is just a side-effect in this case.
Anyway - when it comes to encrypted traffic it is only possible to see between which client and server that there have been traffic of any kind, and nothing else. If by communicating any bad guys are using a web chat on a public forum using HTTPS combined with steganography
it will take a lot of resources to figure out who is communicating with who...
Actually - there shouldn't be a "Do Not Call" list. There should be a "You May Call" list. And numbers not on that list may not be called for any purpose involving money.
An idea I have is that the phone providers should offer a service that allows the called party to bill the caller for $100 by pressing a certain code during the call. That would probably be most effective.
And if you run your own switch through Asterisk it's also possible to add functionality where the caller is directed to an automatic system that just gives them the ride of their life... Just go figure an angry Finnish woman barking at them, some clip from a porno movie, an answering machine that goes "Hello.... Hello?.... Hello?!... "... etc... Even better if it's random. The best thing is if the salesperson can be locked up for several minutes by an intelligent system that actually doesn't agree to anything, just asks them for more details all the time...
WinCE is on par with Windows 95 when it comes to stability and security. And the functionality is about the scale "one size fits all", which means that it's not really possible to tweak it so it suits your particular preferences.
The old PalmOS was a little better in some parts, but it was even less stable and couldn't cope with the mobile phone pda functionality.
The whole phone industry is really about not really providing a stable base for developers, just because there is an urgent need to really push out new phone models on a daily basis. A phone "lives" for less than a year, and if the platform is friendly for developers the manufacturers will get stuck into more backwards compatibility requirements which will slow down the development of new models. But this isn't very unlike the PC situation in the early 80's before IBM dropped the PC, which actually was inferior to many similar machines at the time, but since it had the IBM brand on it a lot of large companies and agencies bought it and it became the de facto standard. Oh how the segmented addressing was hated in the 80's and the 640k barrier and the EXTREMELY BAD GRAPHICS and...
Hmmm... Seems to me that it still is some kind of excuse or emergency reason to kick him out.
There has to be something more to this - just having an affair seems to be a too thin reason. Maybe he was messing around with the chairmans mistress?
If it was only an affair with a co-worker (even if he was a manager of that co-worker) the more obvious reason would have been to quietly assign him to a different position.
Maybe the affair led him to neglect some of his assigned tasks and caused a major loss because of that, but that couldn't be publicly known so then it's better to have the "sex" bail-out.
Just go figure where he will be looking for a new job next...
One important thing is that an employee may look unproductive sitting in a corner drinking his coffee but sometimes that employee is the same one that can and will do whatever is necessary as soon as all hell breaks loose. If he (or she for that matter) can resolve a major problem in five minutes where it may take any other person several hours he's still worth his salary. This is not completely unusual in the industry - even if it may be less extreme.
OK, replace "drinking coffee" with just about anything. Most persons of that level aren't really drinking coffee anyway when they don't have anything important to do. They may be strolling around simulating being busy or so. Some may even be proactive and resolve problems that are growing before anybody notices.
The real problem is that some managers don't recognize this kind of people and thinks that they are just overhead. Well - in a way they are - but not as much as the manager.
OK - the problem may be there but most actions that are considered a crime in one country are also crimes in other countries. For the few cases where there is a difference it may be a case for diplomatic dispute on earth. And even a successful psychological evaluation can let a person through that aren't really fit for certain conditions. Person chemistry is very important - especially in cramped quarters. Even if two persons goes through all tests with grand results they may be mismatching radically, and that is probably the most important issue to figure out. Most people breaks at some position, the question is only where and when.
And really bad crimes are going to be self-solving anyways. "OK you just killed your fellows - we won't send up any food and air next time.".
If you run three different VM:s that are incompatible then something is amiss unless at least one of them is the Microsoft VM that is known to be incompatible.
Only a few issues makes it harder to run all on the latest SUN JRE, and none of them are considered good programming practice. I suggest that you take that back to the app vendors and tell them to get it right and working on the latest released Java (1.6).
The major problem I have recognized is actually related more to the centrally distribution of software packages in a company network where an older JRE is installed and overrides the path of the latest JRE. That causes more problems than you deserve. Of course - in the end it depends on the installation software that thinks that since I'm last to be installed I'm the latest version, which is REALLY WRONG in many cases.
is to clean sewers and public toilets for a year. And then tell them that it's about the only kind of job they should expect if they can't get their fingers out of places where they don't belong, and there are jobs that are worse than that...
It's bad enough to take a peek, but many are curious so that's not unusual, but whenever data is modified without permission it's a really bad crime. Even as tempting it may be some things are best untouched. If information is incorrect there are better ways than to modify it yourself.
As long as you don't defame anybody with a similar name or product with similar name you shouldn't have to give up your domain name. In the Nissan case it's clear that there are two completely different entities with equal right and completely different businesses then it's clear that it's first come first served. Any conflict here should have been handled as a business agreement "We pay you to link to our site" instead of legal action.
It will be a different case if they can prove that they held the domain name before and "lost" it for some reason. Then it can be a question of ambiguity that should be settled using third part.
To just file lawsuits to get a domain name isn't helping at all - it will make them look stupid. If they instead told that they were interested in buying the domain from you it could have been a different case, but in all you as the holder can still refuse to sell.
The question here is if there was a change in security protocol after the first incident. If not - then you should have pulled out and changed to another datacenter, or even considered hosting it yourself.
The problem that the Police has is that as long as it's property lost and no person was physically assaulted they tend to decrease the priority of the case rather quickly. Unless it's the RIAA, MPAA or similar organization that claims loss of billions in intellectual property. A stolen computer is the box for a policeman, but to anybody reading/. it's a loss of several man-months of work, planning and service as well as loss of data that may not be possible to re-create. The box itself is insignificant in many cases as long as the data is preserved.
Deadly force. If you are being robbed at gunpoint on a regular basis, your employees can legitimately say that they fear for their lives, and thus, purchasing of firearms is legally and morally justifiable. Perhaps a couple of guards posted at the entrance with semiautomatic rifles, plus three or four in appropriately concealed locations within the facility (or more if the facility is large enough). Criminals (armed or not) will think twice before attacking.
If the criminals REALLY want to get in it's not a good idea to arm the employees anyway. Specially assigned guards maybe, but the employees of a data center - no... Just imagine if someone has a bad day... Shooting out at the boss, servers and everyone else in sight. Or if the criminals know about it they will shoot first and check later.
Electrical interference. Hook a 230 kV transmission line directly to the rebar in the walls. Anyone who tries to cut their way in will likely spontaneously combust, or at the very least, be knocked several meters. Such an attack won't happen twice.
Assuming that it's concrete walls... But it's a good idea until the maintenance guy comes in to drill a new hole for a cable.
Oxygen deprivation. You probably already have halon fire extinguishers. Assign everyone emergency oxygen masks and a red button remote. In the event of an attack, press the red button and put on your oxygen mask. Assuming you dump enough halon, it will bond with all the free oxygen in the room, incapacitating or killing the intruders in seconds. Assuming they survive, they should still be unconscious when the police arrive to arrest them.
Halon use is outlawed, at least in some countries since it has a bad effect on the ozone layer. Carbon Dioxide is almost as good, and has the same effect. Of course - you may use any non-oxidizing gas like pure nitrogen or helium instead. As long as it lowers the oxygen level in the compartment. A much more evil way is to use carbon monoxide instead of carbon dioxide. In this case the survivability is even lower, but if it's released by accident it will be much more nasty.
But it seems that the datacenter hasn't taken action as it should and moved the servers to a different more covert location. The daily operation can remain at the same location, but since the servers aren't there anymore the criminals will have to leave empty-handed. This requires that the persons running the night-shift doesn't know about the real location of the servers unless they also are relocated.
"at least two masked intruders entered the suite after cutting into the reinforced walls with a power saw,"
In what way was that wall reinforced? Dual layer of sheetrock? If it was sufficiently reinforced it would have delayed the intruders long enough for the police to get there (unless the police chose to not respond). If I was insuring that company I would drop the insurance dead by now due to lack of sufficient protective measures. If the measures were approved by the insurance company I would recommend all other clients to change insurance company.
Anyway - maybe it's time to weave in copper mesh into the T-shirt of all datacenter employees to protect against tazers.
And notice from a comment to the article that any so called man trap doesn't exist - and the security seems to have been far too relaxed. Just a fine example of how not to do things. A good datacenter is located where almost nobody knows where it is - preferably underground in a nondescript location in the countryside. A set of optical fibers will take care of all the traffic. And very few persons shall have physical access to the hardware. Think about how the military handles their datacenters.
is that it was reported as "Router Failures" instead of the real cause.
And if they have been robbed before - why not increase the security? Four times? - That's some kind of record. Maybe it's time to check if the localization of the whole thing is incorrect and move it to a better location where it's less likely to suffer from this kind of incident?
An evolution of JavaScript may be the best way to go. We already have a secondary script language called VBScript, which is a real mess in itself and is best avoided by portable web sites.
The only practical outcome of this clash is that it wouldn't benefit web developers at all and all development will be stuck at the current level if portability is to be maintained.
An evolution of the language would help, but it should be backwards compatible.
That's the right way to handle traffic in the net - drop the priority for packages that aren't sensitive and promote packages that are sensitive to delays. If the lines are up to their throughput limit this is the way to go, and doing it right will not have any really bad effect on the users.
Intentionally dropping data packages is much more evil since that interferes with the functionality and ultimately drives up the network traffic - not down - since many more packages has to be sent and re-sent to provide communication. Bad network conditions also spins power-users to tweak their network settings to be more aggressive. And if the the conditions gets really bad there is a risk that P2P software developers circumvents this by sending redundant information driving the bandwidth use even higher.
But it also has to be figured out if this really is intentional or if the ISP is using equipment with bugs that actually causes this behavior. Since Google is one of the sites that's frequently used it may be that there is a buffer overflow in a router. And if there is a company policy for a certain vendor and a certain setup of that equipment this has a tendency to spread.
Anyway - one of the interesting things reported is that accessing Google through IP address works fine, but not through the DNS resolution. This makes me suspect that the problem is rather related to a certain server or a DNS resolution problem that triggers this problem. Can be an intermediate DNS server that can't handle load-balancing but instead directs all traffic to a single server, which ultimately gets soaked. (maybe not the server, but the channel to the server).
And ultimately - there possibilities available range from being evil to being stupid. Just the kind of story you can read in Dilbert.
Too many European countries are also planning for large amount of data collection.
Anyway - just because it's possible to collect and mine data doesn't mean that the same tools can be used by the "bad" guys too to understand how the technology can be circumvented or made to be misleading.
But a new tool may find new surprising uses too, so there are nothing that can be considered completely bad by this tool.
It looks like it's very prone to cut things into small pieces - like people's heads.
Too bad that the site referred to in the post seems to be slashdotted. Interesting thing is that the hosting service says: "Unlimited Web Hosting", but obviously it isn't. - But that is probably normal.

There may be more reasons too...Unless the provider is locates in some other country.
