Then there is nothing sad about it. I know that I will not find it in any way sore to lose a fair and competetive *democratic* election (from experience - although it was not any political election). Neither should Stevens.
But of course, we know that (very) few politicians tend to get "power hungry" after a while. And very few also get a bit "money hungry". It is the fate of someone detached from the real world for a long while that he gets sensitive to these kinds of things. This is what Stevens did not evade, and this is why he lost - twice. This should say enough about this person. Yes, there are shades of grey and black and purple and who knows what, but some things are very clear, and anyone can understand the words: 'corrupt' and 'politician' put together in one sentence.

approach to voting using a computer. Your idea will not work. Here is why it will not work:
(x) Any system can be hacked
( ) Your methods are flawed
(x) Your methods are not understood by the general voting population
(x) Your method uses the internet to vote
(x) Your method removes secrecy from the voting process
(x) The system is corrupt from it's roots
( ) The police will not put up with it
(x) Requires too much cooperation from politicians
( ) Requires immediate total cooperation from everybody at once
( ) Many voting computer companies makes do not want to spend money into research
(x) Voting computer companies don't care about invalid votes in their computers
Specifically, your plan fails to account for
(x) Laws expressly prohibiting it
( ) Lack of centrally controlling authority for voting
( ) Asshats
(x) Jurisdictional problems
(x) Extreme profitability of making voting fail
(x) Joe jobs and/or identity theft
(x) Technically illiterate politicians
and the following philosophical objections may also apply:
(x) Ideas similar to yours are easy to come up with, yet none have ever
been shown practical
(x) Why should we have to trust you and your servers?
( ) Incompatiblity with open source or open source licenses
(x) Feel-good measures do nothing to solve the problem
Furthermore, this is what I think about you:
(x) Sorry dude, but I don't think it would work.
( ) This is a stupid idea, and you're a stupid person for suggesting it.
( ) Nice try, assh0le! I'm going to find out where you live and burn your house down!
( ) All of the above

I would like to call it "WHIP-320" now, however;) It has an ARM9-core at 200 MHz, 32MB RAM and 32MB flash, 802.11b/g and runs a 2.6 kernel. I did not have to do everything to get it running a terminal (with SSH) though, most of the work was done by some french dudes at http://www.freephonie.org/doku/white:dev (yes, that's two URL's, they are related).
It's an awfully small screen, and you probably need (magnifying) glasses to get work done, but... it *is* an SSH terminal and can help out a lot if you encounter (simple) trouble - see it as a fallback machine.
because that is the program you are referring to. I find that the zoom-mode works pretty well to show all the content of my PDF. Last time I even printed from PalmPDF, worked like a charm !

Overall, PalmPDF is great.

...when on April 26, 2514, at 12:01 PM a lonely hacker decides to boot up the box he found buried in his backyard - big letters on it: "Linux, Ext4 install". He only heard of "Linux" once, but never anything on "Ext4", and is immensely interested in seeing what the thing would do. Some old history patch (a patch is a millimeter thick/wide data carrier) contains information on the voltage of the time and how one could produce it using a solar array. So he puts his solar area (1 centimeter in diameter) in his room, and as the light of the room powers the solar array connects the box to the solar array powered converter providing 120V. Doing some further hacking he converts the "DVI"-output of the thing to his wallscreen's 1024bit-digital input, and presses the On-button.
Momentarily, the system boots, starts counting "Bogomips" and generally makes the hacker feel like he found something of immense value. Now he will know everything on the old "Linux" operating system, which is so hard to locate or read on now B.G. Inc. has taken over governmental control of the former USA, and renamed the capitol "1 B.G. Way", and the whitehouse "Microhouse (c) MS".
Then something happens, a message : "Kernel panic, init not found !", and the thing crashes..
I tell you, how do we explain to that hacker, more than 500 years away, that EXT4 was simply not made to run beyond April 25, 2514 ? Unacceptable, failure waiting to happen: think of the poor future hackers in a dystopian society!
