Since the State of Georgia put in Diebold machines *everywhere* after the 2000 debacle, the stickers they handed out to voters had a smiling Diebold-machine-with-arms-and-legs-shaped cartoon captioned with "I Voted - Georgia Counts".
Today, however, they reverted to the old "I'm a Georgia Voter"-on-top-of-a-peach stickers. Is this because they're embarrased they blew our money on insecure technology?
I so wanted one of those "Georgia Counts" stickers too -- I was planning to Photoshop it into Mr. Diebold Machine throwing a ballot into the trash!
I get these images of a huge casino with electronic slot machines
The Nevada State Gaming Commission (who regulates the slot machines in Las Vegas) was brought in to certify the security of the voting machines there. They found too many holes in Diebold's system and awarded the contract to Sequoia.

Most IT managers create their own hell by failing to set appropriate boundaries with their customers. They tend to get into the position by kissing ass, and wonder why people yell at them so much after they didn't manage anyone's expectations.
It's even worse in consulting shops because there's also salesmanship involved. I quit my last gig after the management's need to please got me painted into a horribly unethical corner.

And, it's certainly true there is a glut of IT mags right now, I get at least 4 and they often have content so similar it looks like the same staff is coming up with all of them.
That's right, it's the advertisers' PR departments!
Those of us using RENATTACH on our mail servers to filter out malware and viruses now have another hole to plug.
Duh. They should always have been checking the attachment contents for an executable header, rather than relying on the extension. Users can be socially engineered into changing the extension to make the "k3wl screensaver", or whatever, run.
Most modern handwriting recognition techniques, such as on my Tablet PC, rely on knowing the order and direction of writing strokes to improve their accuracy. It looks like the techniques described by TFA's sources would provide similar information and might enable machines to finally transcribe handwritten papers reliably.
A dozen question marks, four numbers, four parentheses, one ellipsis, and an exclamation point. Mathematically, such a joke really shouldn't have been that funny.
This would be so much less of an issue if not for the fact that General Motors et al have succeeded in convincing Americans to build a society where an automobile is a necessity - i.e., the majority of good jobs are in suburban office parks, and the majority of affordable housing is in sprawling suburbia. The distances are too long to walk and the density of people is so low that any kind of public transit is inefficient, inconvenient, a losing proposition and basically ends up as a dry bone thrown to the poor.
This is why most Americans feel that driving needs to be a right instead of a privilege.
...what if an illness was the cause of the shift to bipedal motion by our evolutionary ancestors, and rote imitation by offspring or another set of circumstances locked it in?
I concur. My only complaint about the Tablet PC was that the handwriting recognition was awkward, but there is a completely new recognizer in SP2 (I'm running RC2) that makes it so much easier to correct occasional mistakes in recognition.
I have an HP TC1100 from Overstock.com (this is the second generation with real Centrino and the pressure sensitive Wacom pen that doesn't need batteries). Being a refurb brought the price down into the reasonable range.

Will you have to put it through the x-ray in a separate plastic bin?
