I'd hire a former blackhat, but at the "You're hired" meeting, I'd say something along the lines of "Keep your nose clean. If you wanna take your lunch break and non-destructively poke around a little bit, I don't mind. But if you find anything that could pose a risk, I wanna know about it. Nothing illigal on corporate machines.After you leave this room, you're just another new employee... I won't bring up this topic again. Are we clear?"
Of corse... I wouldn't hire a blackhat just because they were a blackhat.
Bigfoot, the head of the Aluminum Foil industry, is now being paid off by James Casorio for the purpose of implanting nanobots into the aluminum foil as so that anyone wrapping it around their head is infected by republican mind control. At that point, the Representative will turn control over to president bush who will then use the entire army of mind-controlled minons to drill for oil in the Arizona Desert. Once the oil is found, the mind controlled minons will turn over their first child for sacrifice to the pixie queen.
Thats the case with every electronic ballot system... right?
the PHP code can be posted for public review
How do you know the mechanical voting machines are incrementing the right counter?
Voter Eligibility is accomplished by Poll workers, as it is with present systems. If more verification is necessary, each voter can be given a randomly-generated number (not linked to their personal details like name, ssn, etc) at time of sign-in and each vote can be correlated with a number. The number is generated from a secret algebraic expression that is individual to a district. If a vote's number does not match the expression, the machine can be considered compromised.
a simple "Your votes have been counted. Thank you." would get the point across.
Software should be compiled by trusted authorities. a program like Tripwire can be used to verify their integrity.
UPS systems can be used to ensure proper counting of votes. On power failure, the voter currently at the kiosk finishes the vote and the systems shut down. Other electronic voting machines (and even the mechanical ones) are susceptible to electrical failures.
The central MySQL server with the Encrypted hard drive would be physically transported to the county seat where technically-savvy authorities of any political party wishing to be present can witness the official counting of the ballots. For security, each system would have a locking mechanism and a seal indicating if the machine was opened.
The poll time would be enforced by poll workers. A solution to the flash key problem is that the flash drive is encrypted also. The key for this 2nd-level of encryption could be stored on an un-encrypted partition of the hard drive in the machine. In this way, both the proper hard drive and Flash key must be paired. As Mentioned above, the machine would have a physical lock and seal. If the seal was opened in order to obtain the decryption key for the flash drive, the machine could be considered compromised and a re-polling of the affected district could take place.
Currently, I'm required to read To Kill A Mockingbird in my Publich High School English Class. Later this year, I will be Required to read 1984 (which I already have... good book) and The Illistrated man.
should the ACLU call up the school and tell them it's to violent? [sarcasm] ooooh! Scout and Jem got Air Guns! Air guns are just like guns! they can kill people! OMG! [/sarcasm]
1984 should be required reading for all students who want a diploma or GED. Immigrants should also read it before being granted citizenship.
Seriously... Banning of books is Illigal under the 1st amendment. (Got that from my Social studies teacher last year)
1) Setup a System with 1 (one) USB port, a network connection, and MySQL. 1a) Use the USB port to hold a flash drive. On said flash drive is a crypto key for the hard drive. The Flash Drive and System at the end of the election are transported by two seperate but neutral parties to the proper officials. 2) Make a small WIRED network in each polling place, not connected to the internet (are you nuts!?) 3) Add Kiosk Machines running apache/PHP on a loopback interface 4) Have each Kiosk machine SSH into the MySQL server. Verification by Trusted RSA keys. 5) Use Firefox and some fancy web programming to give a senior-friendy interface 6[optional]) Add score bord that updates every 10 minutes (to protect the anonymous ballot) that shows the current vote tally.
In my eyes, if you still have functioning neural pathways (no Alzheimers, not dead) then you can pretty much do whatever you want. After that, you have three options: Be Buried in a box, get burned, freeze.
Happy birthday! How's it feel to be old as dirt? XD
seriously... invite your freinds over, get drunk, order strippers, play with power tools, act like you're in college and say "fuck the world." when it's all over.

hmm... Software Enigneer, Astronaut, Artist, Musician (strike that), translator, president of the USA... shit... I got a lot of stuff to do before I die!
Concidering that I've been on many USA to London and London to USA flights, and I've stayed in Birmingham for weeks at a time, and Liquid explosives are readily availibe (Gasoline, Rubbing Alcohol), I'd rather pack a checked bag with my toothpaste than be blown to bits 1000+ miles from the nearest land.
Hmm... maybe google could use the beaming technology to open a resort on mars! or gDelivery... Buy something on amazon... *shimmer* and there's you're product! (with a sticker with ads on it of course.)

I remember someone on one of the tech new sites... referring to AI as being as smart as a heavily retarded chimpanzee.
This thing is just a lightly retarded chimpanzee... that knows english.

Well, since you have so many cores at your disposal... try to max them out by using a custom-compiled rtgen and tell us if that'll do it.

Please, I invite a critique

"West Midlands Police deals robustly with anti-social behaviour."
And... being with two friends in a place where there is some privacy (out of earshot perhapse) is... ummm... "antisocial" ?
I must be cronfused.
Thanks... I'll take that into concideration.
