  1. Re:What's so hard about this? on Man's Vote for Himself Missing In E-Vote Count · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Anonymous asked:
    "You have a machine that facilitates the voter's selection by way of touch screen etc.... then it creates a paper ballot, the voter verifies the ballot and puts it in the ballot box. If there is any question, you just count the paper ballots. How is it that you folks can't seem to get this simple concept down?"

              Dang, that's the solution, and I've thought so since they started using the darned machines, but you just can't get this simple solutionn through the thick skulls of our legislators. Duh. We've voted in some really stupid, thick-headed folks who ought to go!
            I'm also utterly amazed when the testers of the machines on which they are trying to install paper trails , complain that the print-outs get all fouled-up. they just can't get then to work right. What? I use a Diebold machine on regular basis at my bank, and that machine has no problems providing an accurate print-out every single time. Now, if they can have near 100% success on the banking machines, why can't this be duplicated on the voting machines with paper trails? Because, they don't want to! Why they don't want to ought to scare the crap out of you.

  2. Re:This Is Not Going To Help on The Unemployed Working on OSS Projects · · Score: 1

    He's right, it's not going to help. Outsourcing is not going to stop, and the tech jobs are NOT coming back to either the US or Australia. They're gone.
    The cars now driven in America are foreign, and the once "Capital of the Car World", Michigan, is bleeding car manufacturing jobs. Most of us realize that these jobs are not coming back. Amazingly, Michigan, is trying to retrain the unemployed car manufacturing workers for high-tech jobs!! Those jobs have been and will continue to be outsourced! What are they thinking about? $scriptah is right when he says to contribute to the business cycle directly.
    There is an alternative: Move to India or China. The way we in the US are giving away our industrial base to China, we're soon be speaking Chinese anyways.

  3. Re:Can't Help It on South Korean Gov't. Advocates Linux · · Score: 1

    Only old people using M$ mess? I am one of those "old" (it's all in your mind) people, and i was a Windozzzz user until I wised up and got Linux. Considering human nature is the same everywhere, I am assuming that the South Korean oldsters will also switch.
    And, as technologically advanced as the South Koreans are, they will develop a Linux distro that is point-and-click easy.
    (Just having fun with you!)
