  1. Re:*gasp!* Voting machines vulnerable?!! on Maryland Electronic Voting Systems Found Vulnerable · · Score: 2, Informative

    Duh...

    We'll never have a valid e-voting system until the software is treated as a critical-systems type of application. I mean, it's not like the software is doing something like figuring the interest on a loan. The developers need to treat this software as seriously as they would the software in emergency medical equipment.

    And for bonus Karma, that quote is from The Simpsons:

  7. Re:They aren't supporting Linux! on Maya now Free for Personal Use · · Score: 1

    First off, Maya isn't a compositing software.

    And, they are in fact using it for everything in the productions (not just render farms).

    I know this because as I type this I am working for one of those really big animation studios, on my dual-Xeon Linux Workstation, with Maya running in the background, waiting for me to stop procrastinating by reading /. and finish rigging that character I have due to go in to animation next week.
